   uh-oh, mirren breaks some dishes, she’s definitely getting in now.

   …
   but in all seriousness, she does look really good here, and will probably get a nom. still not sold on plummer though.

   “Would anybody complain if Helen Mirren had two Oscars?”

   Yes:

   a)The “Cate the Great has only BSA Oscar and not the real deal like Gwyneth” bitches

   b)The “Kate the Greatest has only 1 Oscar instead of 25″ bitches

   c) The “Nobody should have more Oscars than Meryl and it`s bad enough that Swank has two” bitches

   d)The “SaBu has none and should win for Blind Side” bitches

   Wow, that trailer is great fun.

   I wouldn’t mind one bit if Helen won another Oscar (but I’d better see the movie first).

   Which I will ASAP, because,duh, MCAVOY!

   It would be interesting if Helen beat Meryl seeing that Meryl was originally supposed to do the role.

   It doesn’t look like a serious contender. They should have released it over the summer.

   Helen Mirren looks great. I wouldn’t mind if she had two Oscars. I’m kinda of surprised she doesn’t have two by now.

   You’re right Amanda, Meryl was originally supposed to do the role. Well that’s just too bad that we can’t see her break plates, but I’m already enjoying watching Mirren, so 2 Oscars?. Not bad, not bad at all.

   I see alot of barfing. I’m waiting for those to deliver that old BS line “It’s too soon” or maybe just go on about how it’s Meryl’s year. More BS.

   She has enough awards for playing royalty. She deffo deserved her Emmy, Globe, & Sag for Elizabeth I though.

   I also don’t like Tolstoy, and am part of both B) and C). Go Kate & Meryl. And yes I thought one of them should have defeated Mirren.

   Just saw Julie & Julia. Better late than never. Well, Meryl IS a lot of fun, and she makes the movie, but I don’t see her winning for that. I have a pet theory, that she will win once she actually makes a GREAT film. Haven’t you noticed how, apart from Out of Africa, none of her nominations have been coupled with a best picture nomination? It’s safe to say that Sophie’s Choice, her last win, is one of her last good pictures.
   I don’t think Mirren will win either. I think Mulligan will.
   We’ll see…

    That trailer is… cheap looking (?). I mean, c’mon!

11. Laderlappen November 25th, 2009 at 6:43 am 11

    Looks like a mess

12. Bill W. November 25th, 2009 at 7:56 am 12

    I want the lady that DESERVES to win actually win. The award should be for the best performance of that year. You know, Annette Bening in Being Julia, Felicity Huffman in Transamerica, Laura Linney in The Savages, Meryl Streep in Doubt, and … oh, wait, these were not the winners for their respective years. Silly me.

13. Mark November 25th, 2009 at 10:05 am 13

    This might need a little bit of push by the studio. But then again, we are talking about Dame Helen Mirren. Her work is always top-notch.

14. Jim November 25th, 2009 at 10:46 am 14

    The trailer does look a bit cheaply put together, but what a wonderfully fun movie it looks like!

15. Kay November 25th, 2009 at 11:53 am 15

    Mirren loook great in this.

16. Glenn November 25th, 2009 at 11:58 am 16

    I’m so tired of Meryl taking one BA spot every single year – its not fair – the BA is battled between just 4 actresses coz Meryl is just stuck there till she does no more movies. Shit they will give her a nomination if she purely farted on film. She’s good – she is NOT that great. Get over it Oscar and get your priorities right!

17. Casey November 25th, 2009 at 12:01 pm 17

    Mirren looks brilliant!!

18. billybil November 25th, 2009 at 12:33 pm 18

    Yes I would prefer Mirren not get a second Oscar yet. In fact, no one should get her second until Meryl gets her third (and fourth). Please Glenn – you know if Meryl farted on film it would be in the perfect accent for the role! So if Meryl doesn’t really deserve it this year for JULIA – then let’s see a first-timer get it!

    whoever did the credits for this trailer, should be looking for a new job….

    that being said…it looks like a gas.

20. Free November 25th, 2009 at 2:20 pm 20

    I liked the whole ‘Christ’ line and the way she delivered it. I do like seeing new winners when they deserve it, however, and since Helen’s won several Emmys, I don’t really feel like I have to see her win again.

    But if she’s good, give it to her. Unlike everyone else, I’m not quite sold on Mulligan winning. As of now, Abbie Cornish wowed me the most in ‘Bright Star.’

    “Annette Bening in Being Julia, Felicity Huffman in Transamerica, Laura Linney in The Savages, Meryl Streep in Doubt. . .”

    -Definitely agree about Huffman in 2005. I have no idea why Reese won or was even nominated. Vera Farmiga should have been nominated for Down to the Bone, and probably one.

    Don’t agree about the others though: Bening overacted in her film, and Staunton and Swank were both excellent; I love Laura but I didn’t think she even deserved to be nominated for The Savages; I was all for Kate finally getting her hardware last year, and if not her, I thought Hathaway and Leo were both better than Streep.

21. Free November 25th, 2009 at 2:21 pm 21

    *probably WON, that should have said.

22. Paul November 25th, 2009 at 5:54 pm 22

    I wouldn’t mind Helen Mirren winning second Oscar for this role. She looks terrific in the trailer! However, I have a feeling that Streepers wouldn’t be too happy about it… Oh, hell, go Dame Helen!

23. HaroldsMaude November 25th, 2009 at 9:19 pm 23

    Mind if Helen takes two? no.

    But this trailer sure isn’t convincing that this performance is the one for it.

24. Ray Pickles November 26th, 2009 at 10:52 am 24

    In a thin year I can see Helen Mirren getting in with a nomination but I dont see a win – the scenes here suggest she would get a nom- but how long is she on screen? Best actress or really supporting?

25. Glenn November 26th, 2009 at 12:22 pm 25

    billybil – so funny … Meryl farting in a South African accent …. give her the Oscar, I say! Too funny! Seriously, I think the Academy want to give her another one but she isn’t coming up with the number one goods and hasn’t done for a long time. I agree she has been cheated in the past – Out of Africa and A Cry in the Dark – should have earned her two more! I am secretly rooting for Sandra Bullock – I know its a bit out there, but if she can squeeze in the big 5 then hopefully momentum may swing her way – respected and loved by her peers, great box office, brassy role – I suspect they could give her the Award for a body of work even if they don’t consider this role fully worthy. Let’s face it, that is what happened last year – even though I thought Kate W was the best performance by a mile last year, I still suspect it was more for a body of work and being a consistently great all-round actress as well as a high number of previous noms – its was her time. I also think that Academy ratings would boost big time with the possibility of a Bullock nom/win ……. she is popular enough to raise the ratings alone, IMO.
