It would be cool to go there though.. <br /><br /><br /><br />Ryan is fantastic, she makes the role so believable and repulsive, yet likeable in a strange sort of way. She is the best thing in the movie. <br /><br /><br />I watched Cate on youtube as well. I found her pretty good, though it feels like an imitation, but that's really the point of her performance. You should see Ronan! She is excellent!joe burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987519630654592530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640233872626289402.post-48754283491994297342010-12-28T21:05:07.018-08:002010-12-28T21:05:07.018-08:00Ryan and Blanchett both give very vivid, actorly p...Ryan and Blanchett both give very vivid, actorly performances in two heavily showcased roles that are a critics wet dream. Ryan gives a detailed and textured performance that's moving as the character is hideos. I'm from Boston and let me tell you Ryan's trashy portrayal is dead on; from the accent to the laugh to the vocal nuances. A real meaty characterization and a very worthy nominee.<br /><br />A few months ago I saw Cate's performance on YouTube and her work is simply thrilling and spectacular. She has late sixties Dylan down pat yet crafts a enigmatic and totally original character. Her actorly tricks are in full service to the role and technically is nothing short of fascinating. But I do however see what Stinkylulu in saying that the performance is "soulless" and that had Blanchett layered more emotional texture into the role the performance would have been flawless. Yet I feel that Cate's intellectually stimulating and technical performance almost manifests or transcends into some kind of palpable emotional reality that I felt subtle nuances of. I'm not sure how but it made the character human with the glimmer of soul others didn't completely findBrandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328588663743547744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640233872626289402.post-49754485465515382902010-12-28T13:27:38.637-08:002010-12-28T13:27:38.637-08:00What did you think of Ryan and Blanchett?

In fact, most say it's underrated, lol. I'l see when I see it. <br /><br /><br />I'm glad you like Amy. <br /><br /><br />I know most don't like Juno, but I felt the script was a worthy winner, though you're right, Michael Clayton should have won. <br /><br />We have to disagree about Atonement. I felt the script was the main problem in the movie, at least in the 2nd half. <br /><br /><br /><br />I won't say about Firth yet, but I will say that Helena really didn't do anything that special, but she is not bad at all.joe burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987519630654592530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640233872626289402.post-72103174192012511822010-12-28T12:09:23.928-08:002010-12-28T12:09:23.928-08:00Best Supporting Actor: I think that Bardem is a de...Best Supporting Actor: I think that Bardem is a deserving winner (though it would be hard to choose between him and Wilkinson). I saw Affleck three days ago, but I think it's a very overrated performance. He was great, but not that much. <br /><br />Actress: I was happy about Tilda, but I also think that Ryan was better, though I am usually switching my vote between the two. She was so raw and very moving. I was rooting for her. <br /><br />Screenplay: Juno's win is a joke. I'm shocked that it was nominated for any Oscars beside Page. Michael Clayton should have won, hands down.<br />I think that Adapted Screenplay should have gone to Atonement, but NCFOM is a fine pick. It's a really great movie. <br /><br />About The King's Speech: Could you give a hint about Helena and Firth? Are they good or even deserving?dinasztiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418227830861757663noreply@blogger.com
