Naomi is good but I don't believe oscars should be given out because of time served in the acting community.
^well many people believe she was far better than chastain and lawrence and say it's the best performance of her career
It wasn't the best performance of her career by a long shot, or the best performance by a lead actress this year, imo, but I do think she was better than Chastain, who was better than Lawrence.^well many people believe she was far better than chastain and lawrence and say it's the best performance of her career
Yet he has not received acclaim from them.
i need to watch Scent of Woman again. but wasnt he playing a blind Al Pacino who screams every 5 minutes?DiCaprio is like Pacino - solid in just about every role he's in, but he didn't win that Oscar until he moved out of his comfort zone and did something that was really out there. Django Unchained is a step in the right direction, The Great Gatsby isn't. Of course, not to say Leo is not going to be great in Gatsby, it's just that chances are we have already seen him in similar roles (The Aviator). He hasn't pushed the limits of his talent yet. I think he'd do well to take some notes from Daniel Day-Lewis, who is almost impossible to recognize from film to film.
I hate Scent of Woman. And Pacino was just awful in this film. He has so many more deserving roles than this one.
Better than 21 Grams and Mulholland Drive? I don't think so.
Watts has like that Princess Diana biopic coming up next year anyway, she's most likely going to win for that.
Wholeheartedly agree with the bolded bit. I was underwhelmed by Chastain (and by DZT in general). IMO Lawrence's performance is better than Chastain's also.It wasn't the best performance of her career by a long shot, or the best performance by a lead actress this year, imo, but I do think she was better than Chastain, who was better than Lawrence.
Watts as Diana? That's the first I've heard of it. I looked it up. She doesn't look anything like Diana in the film stills, and even the hairstyle is wrong for Diana in the last couple of years of her life. Watts actually ends up looking like an older woman than both Diana and herself.
Myself, I am suitably intrigued. She looks enough like Diana to play the part; for a role like this, the intent is not to do a celebrity impersonation. Naomi is a good enough actress to bring something special to the role.
^pretty much langela did'nt really look like nixon yet he was powerful
