Angelina Jolie and Oscar - Perfect Together

Angie is an artist, actor’s actor. Oscars and GG are almost like lottery, so just being nominated is already a win. Angie is already an Oscar winner when she was just in her 20s. She has a long, healthy, and prestigious career ahead. Now she is even stronger with her life partner at her side, and big, wonderful family who love and support her. Congrats Angie for your wonderful work and please do continue your art for us fans and your peers!

Here is a critic who really loved Angie’s portrayal of MP in AMH.
Critics and SAG members appreciated her performance though AMH was not much praised by people. May be US is in depressed period because of IraqWar and economic situation and losing global political power. Some people didn’t want to watch war-related AMH.

If I ha a Osca ballet

Best Actress
Julie Christie, Away From Her
Julie Delpy, 2 Days in Paris
Angelina Jolie, A Mighty Heart
Nicole Kidman, Margot at the Wedding
Sienna Miller, Interview

I think Jolie and Christie are the only ones with a shot of actually being recognized by the Academy, but I think the other three women all give brilliant performances. If this were the actual nomination list, it might be the most beautiful class of Best Actress nominees in the history of the awards.

I want to single out Julie Delpy for not only giving a brilliant, nuanced and honest portrait in 2 Days in Paris, but also for writing it, directing it, editing it. To be able to give such a wonderful performance while also being able handle all of those technical duties is nothing short of amazing. The film is basically her own personal version of Annie Hall and she is most definitely Woody Allen, right down to the thick glasses she wears throughout the film. I first fell in love with Delpy in Before Sunrise when she was the young and hopeful Celine and here she plays the antithesis of that character, someone jaded and stuck in a relationship that she can’t quite figure out. The relationship works, but does it work well enough? The film is also hysterically funny and not just in the cliché Ugly American goes to Paris vein. I cannot wait to see what Delpy does next, either behind the camera or in front of it.

That being said, it is Angelina Jolie who gives the best performance in this category. I don’t really care about the politics behind it, nor do I care about what she does in her private life – okay, maybe I do, I’m human. But the most important thing is what goes on the screen and what Jolie does is pretty remarkable. Not only does she nail a difficult accent (a mixture of French and Cuban), but she remains so tightly wound throughout the entire picture that we just want her to scream and when she finally does, it is so heartbreaking and relieving at the same time; we lament the fact that she is upset, but we are so glad the misery of waiting is over. Jolie makes Marianne Pearl more than just the widow of Daniel Pearl; she makes her into a person we can all relate to, someone whose pain and anguish we never want to suffer through.

Julie Christie or Marion Cotillard might get the win, but I think Jolie’s performance will be the best remembered.

She will win the Oscar - no doubt. What a brilliant actress, humanitarian, mother, partner and overall human being. And breathtakingly stunning to boot. Angie - please run for office! Not too late to announce your candidacy. We love ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Angie will win the Oscar in 2009 for Changeling. This year’s Oscar belongs to the three frontrunners, Marion Cotilard, Julie Christie, or Ellen Page.

UGH….Perez is comparing Courtney Love and Angelina Jolie on his blog.

I think the only one to give her a run for it is Marion Cotiliard. But I believe Angie will win. The story is so timely and her performance is heartbreakingly real. That said, I believe she SHOULD win it. Either way, I am praying that she does as I am praying Obama wins the Presidential race. I believe both will happen this year. What a year 2008 will be!

I’d rather Jolie win for Changeling. Marion’s role was iconic, and arguably the among the greatest in history. I have a feeling this is Marion’s only chance at Oscar, so she deserves all the attention this year for a phenomenal performance. Jolie’s locked nomination is enough recognition, to prove that she is still a respected actress. I’d rather Jolie win for Changeling because from what I’ve read its a GREAT film.

I liked all the people in the video.
Though I only could follow Marion’s slow English and couln’t catch
Macvay’s quick British accent jokes.

KONNITIWA- Welcome Back

We all missed you.

Hey gang, we have one of our most loyal and lovely BAMPZS fan back….

(((Hugs konnitiwa ))))

And never ever leave again.

Now, we need Cindy2, Original jdf, estelle, Moi Jade, Elena to delurk or post again.

GC and JM talk too fast and too much and try too hard to be funny which is annoying. I like the way DDL talks. That’s a mature man’s talk. GC and JM are too childish.

Angie looked unconfortable in some moments.

I have no problem if Marion or Julie Christe will win. They are marvelous actors and did it great in their films.
Angie and Ellen may have another chanc.
And next year Brad can be there with Cate for CCOBB. I hope so.

she better gets nominated! she’s awesome but i have a feeling she wont win even if she does.

She’s a great humanitarian and i guess mother too but she doesn’t deserve another oscar. Beside she probably won’t care much either way.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I get your point. It depends on how the Academy decides to vote. If they want to give Marion her one chance they may but then again the film was hardly seen and sh eis a fairly unknown so that can go against her.

Julie Christie is not enough of a screen icon to warrant getting an Oscar for a film no one saw. I mean she is important - Dr. Zhivago is one of my favorite films - but she is known for “Shampoo” and a few other things and so the Academy won’t feel as if they owe her an Oscar.

Angie is so relevant right now. She is a globalist who believes in peace and human rights. Danny Pearl’ story reminds us what we are fighting for post 911 so it might be a symbolic gesture to honor Angie’s performance given that the subject matter is so on the top of the list of things affecting our lives - terrorism.

And she is a a Hollywood golden child who has grown and is proof of a woman evolving in Hollywood.

I think given all this the Oscar is Angie’s this year.

Angelina’s performance is strong enough to get nominated but not to win IMO. But that should be OK because Angelina has already won an Oscar and this nomination, if she gets it, is testament to her acting abilities.There s no pressure to win. There are better and stronger roles coming up in her future. she should win for that. But get this all you haters….she is the only American actress that’s been nominated for Best Actress. That’s right, there’s no one else who did better than Angelina did in 2007. Represent!
