Words
“I caught The Hurt Locker again last night. What a great film. Kathryn Bigelow is probably the most deserving of the nominees. I think if Cameron does pull off the upset, I don’t think sexism will be the problem. I think box office receipts and a concern with AMPAS trying to be “relevant” with the general public will be the actual result. Which brings me to this issue:
I do not understand why some critics out there think that the Academy should pick films that are more mainstream? I heard a commentator the other day saying that the 2008 (No Country for Old Men) ceremony was one of the most boring telecasts in the Academy’s history. Yes, it had their lowest ratings ever. But even if this makes me come off as snobbish, that explanation is a bunch of horseshit. 2007 was a great year in movies, and if LCD (lowest common denominator) critics and audiences don’t like it, tough.
Since I consider myself a film buff, it doesn’t bother me when the Academy pick films that general audiences may have a problem with. Let us be honest, your average film goer usually does not have the greatest taste in the world. And “difficult” films are usually more profound and original.
On a side note, I finally got around to seeing Julie & Julia this morning. Meryl Streep SHOULD NOT win the Oscar this year. That performance was ok, but not her greatest. Her performance in Doubt was a lot better. Mulligan and Sidibe should be the two actresses vying for the award, but that certainly is not the case. Honestly, I think I will be disappointed if Streep or Bullock win this year. Neither performance was that spectacular, in relation to the competition.”

Lovely lady. If only she’d done the rap!
classy answer to the engagement question. so pretty, so likeable
(although she still needs to return that oscar to viola davis)
She doesn`t need to return anything. if we go by returning, than 90% of SAG ensamble winners should return their SAGs because they got them on the strength of 1-2-3 performers in the ensamble. I mean, Borelando Bloom the SAG winner? Peesh. pene is more deserving of all her awards than this manequin,for example.
Paul Shaffer steals the show here. “Cruisin’ Together”… brilliant!
Here’s a TV Spot for the movie in which we finally get to hear Daniel Day-Lewis (talk, not sing):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtY4zeQSInY
She was marvelous on this show, but it was clear Letterman was turning her off with all the personal questions. Notice, no clips of “Nine.”
Meanwhile,in related news, back at “Dancing with the Stars” they has their “pros” do a live re-enactment of the “Be Italian” number from “Nine” and it was GODAWFUL. Just bad, bad, bad. And they NEVER do bad ensemble dancers by the professional dancers. My hopes are sinking…
I just hope this one won´t get bombed by the critics. The Academy desperately needs a big oscar contender, cause until now, there is no one in sight…
Thanks for posting these clips for us overseas (love that word) readers who can’t watch Letterman.
You know, the main criticism she gets from gossip press (putting gossip and press together sounds somehow wrong) around here is that she talks about her private life in America but not in Spain, implying she has a double standard (following that old saying that states that repeating a lie will eventually make it become true). Nice and definite way to prove them wrong. I wonder if they’ll air this clip as they have aired the one with Leno.
I keep wondering if the absence of Almodóvar himself in these interviews means that the movie itself has very little chance of getting any award attention or if it’s just that when you’re an academy award winner you’re considered grown up enough to make the whole tour by yourself.
Ah ok, when I was talking about the big potential oscar contender, I was thinking about “Nine”.
“Broken Embraces” is a very dark horse.
Notice, no clips of “Nine.”
Broken Embraces opens in New York in 2 days. Penelope is doing the circuit for that premiere.
Are we really going to start pre-judging movies by scene “re-enactments” on reality TV now? Let me know when they air the Avatar re-enactment on Pimp My Ride.
the ‘dancing with the stars’ ensemble dance was not a reenactment. they used Fergie singing “Be Italian”, but it was not the movie choreography. look at all the clips from the trailers, none of the dance moves matched what we’ve seen so far.
“I keep wondering if the absence of Almodóvar himself in these interviews means that the movie itself has very little chance of getting any award attention…”
I don’t think we should assume anything like that, iggy. Directors don’t really do late night TV talk shows in America. Maybe Ron Howard, or a raconteur like Barry Levinson. But we don’t see directors promoting their films in any TV venue, really.
Because its Oscar peak-season release date and other factors in its favor, I really think Broken Embraces is better positioned for awards that most of the international films this year. We’ll have a good collection of NY reveiws in a day or so to help us gauge the enthusiasm.
If I weren’t gay, I’d marry her!!!
there were no nine clips because she is promoting broken embrace, its too soon for nine
not too soon for Nine clips. She was on Leno last week. They showed a clip of “A call from the vatican”. look it up
Right, but that’s not what she was there for. The main focus, and the main clip, was of “Broken Embraces.”
she’s so gorgeous and classy.
