1. One shines above the rest from this year’s offerings and she isn’t even human. 2008’s badass Eve spends her time saving the future of humanity and falling in love. She is so cool, holding her must feel like an Ipod Touch – sleek and perfect. She is the ultimate gadget but she’s also the hero of Wall-E. How many films in any year feature a true female kicking ass and taking names? Usually the women are dressed up in a sexy outfit, do a few high kicks before the male comes in and finishes the job. Eve mostly does it all, while Wall-E is in the place the female usually occupies — an inspirational force, a hopeless romantic, the beating heart of the story. Eve is number one.
2. Ray Eddy (Melissa Leo) in Frozen River –any mother who has ever written a bounced check to buy groceries or counted out the pennies to buy some milk will recognize a little of themselves in Ray. It’s not often that the movies gets that kind of desperation this right. Much of it is Leo and her willingness to go deep, but a lot of it is due to writer Courtney Hunt’s insight. Cassidy is hardly perfect; so often single moms are written as saints. They aren’t afforded faults because one whiff of one and the character is neglectful. She does her best and makes it work. We look at her not just as single mom, though. We see her as a whole human being, one of the few in the awards race this year.
2. Doubt’s Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Meryl Streep) is far from perfect. But John Patrick Shanley has written a complex character who isn’t just one thing. She isn’t just strict, she isn’t just pure, she isn’t just judgmental, she isn’t just good – she is all of it, wrestling itself out of her. She stands on one side of the divide between priests and nuns, no doubt. There is a hierarchy which makes her confrontation with Father Flynn (Philip Seymour Hoffman) all the more poignant. At the same time, she has difficulty understanding the point of view of Mrs. Miller (Viola Davis), even though they’re both women. It doesn’t hurt that Streep acts the hell out of the thing.
4. April Wheeler (Kate Winslet), Revolutionary Road – probably because, as Kenneth Turan points out, Winslet was the driving force behind getting the film made, and because she’s acting alongside her trusted pal, Leonardo DiCaprio, and because her husband was directing her – however she arrived at this wonderful portrayal, there it is. April Wheeler is a complicated creature – someone who chafes against the confines of the “perfect life.” If that was all of it, she might have run off and joined a biker gang. But there is a part of her that longs for stability, that longs to have it all – marriage, fulfillment, happiness. It is all there in the Yates novel but somehow it is Winslet who brings those beautiful words to vivid life.
5. Three women in Benjamin Button- one of the best things about Button is how the lead character’s life turns on his experiences with women. How often to male stories follow those paths? They rarely do. But Benjamin Button is taught by, loved by, cared for by women. This film seemed to me like writer Eric Roth’s and maybe director Fincher’s homage to the great women in their lives. Taraji P. Henson as Queenie, Cate Blanchett as Daisy and Tilda Swinton as Elizabeth Abbot all shine so brightly in the film and not just because they are one thing. While Queenie might come the closest to an archetype, there is no deying the various shades on the other women. Daisy is self-centered and too vain. Elizabeth Abbot is dissatisfied, ambitious and cold. Benjamin Button bumps around with them as their lives takes their natural turns. He must find intimacy and closeness where he can. These three women were smart enough to see beyond what was happening to him on the outside.
6. Juliette Fontaine (Kristin Scott Thomas), I’ve Loved You So Long – although the ending is a cheat, Thomas’ Juliette is intriguing in almost everything she does. Her tight and controlled gestures, her varying reactions to the children she comes in contact with, her ways of relating to men. She clearly wishes she is dead but at the time, there is the slightest glimmer of hope behind her sad eyes.
7. Poppy (Sally Hawkins) Happy-Go-Lucky – she has to be the world’s most annoying character but there is something genius about her, the way Leigh conceived her and the way Hawkins realized her. She seems like someone who’s always stoned so everything seems funny to them – they can’t just be there because they’re always buzzing. But she is also like a humming bird – a creature destined to shame those miserable souls around her, those who gaze at her momentarily, in between complaints, or even wonder what it would be like to reach out and touch her. Poppy is a good person, the kind the world could use a lot more of.
8. Rachel and Kym, (Rosemarie DeWitt and Anne Hathaway) Rachel Getting Married, so it has to be that women writers write the best characters. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don’t but Jenny Lumet absolutely did. Kim is a typical fuck up, and her sister is the typical “good one.” But underneath those labels, the things they say to each other, how they relate to one another – it’s all very interesting. They aren’t there to necessarily serve a purpose, or to drive a plot point, they ARE the plot.
9. Cassidy (Marisa Tomei), The Wrestler – you’d expect a stripper with a heart of gold but what you get is a kind of female counterpart to Randy (Mickey Rourke). She is someone whose identity seems a bit too wrapped up in the show she puts on. Who is she if she isn’t the hot spot of desire for all of those loser dudes who wander into the bar? Tomei doesn’t give too much away in her portrayal, which makes Cassidy all the more compelling. What could have been the world’s most cliched character ended up being something unique.
10.
Honorable mentions because I haven’t yet seen them but I’ll bet they are good: Michelle Williams in Wendy and Lucy, Emma Thompson in Last Chance Harvey, Penelope Cruz (and/or Rebecca Hall) in Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
Female characters pretty and interesting but nonetheless decorative wallpaper: Caroline Cushing (Rebecca Hall) in Frost/Nixon, Latika (Freida Pinto) in Slumdog Millionaire, Christine Collins (Angelina Jolie) in Changeling (no mother would be that wimpy for that long), Rachel (Maggie Gyllenhaal) in The Dark Knight

I disagree with angelina her christine collins was one of the bes
How in the world was Poppy annoying? That’s one criticism that I’ll never understand. You wanna give her a big hug.
Christine Collins (no mother would be that wimpy for that long)
wow subtle Clint-Bashing on AD, who would have thought ?
Great idea, Sasha!
My top 5 Best Wriiten Female Characters of 2008:
1. & 2. The Fontaine sisters (Kristin Scott Thomas & Elsa Zylberstein) in I’ve Loved You So Long
3. Pat Allen (Patricia Clarkson) in Married Life
4. April Wheeler (Kate Winslet) in Revolutionary Road
5. Allison French (The Zellweger) in Appaloosa (great role, weak performance)
It isn’t Clint bashing and it isn’t necessarily about acting but about the writing and complexity of the part. Angelina gave a great performance but her part wasn’t, in my opinion, well written. Not bashing Clint Eastwood at all and if you noticed, The Dark Knight is in there too and everyone knows that’s my number one.
Sasha,
I too gravitated towards EVE. When I saw EVE and how she commanded the screen, I thought she was the ideal female lead–assertive yet still feminine (at least in design).
Outstanding list, Sasha. One of my favorite things about Wall-E was the way Eve was written to kick ass and stay on mission.
Ray Eddy, and also Lila, are simply unique characters. You never see two women written as antagonists/protagonists in a desperate gritty thriller like Frozen River, where the men in their lives are conspicuously absent and the women are so proactive, yet for very female goals – taking care of their kids.
Juliette and Lea seemed like estranged sisters – fragile, touchy, intensely curious. Their relationship was palpable, not just in the acting but in the writing.
Wendy is a great character – I hope you get to see this film soon. Lucy the Dog ain’t bad either, LOL. She’s Kelly Reichardt’s own dog, so it must have been a labor of love writing her into a movie. She has more personality and charisma than most of the females we encounter on film.
And I love love love Cruz and Hall (and Bardem). Woody actually struck a chord with me, for once, with these crazy Spanish artists and neurotic Americans abroad. I think this is his best writing in quite a while.
None of those poor women at the end should have to be grouped in with Maggie’s character in TDK. I’ve never wanted someone to be killed off as much as I did with her before.
Brilliant list, Sasha. There’s only one thing I’d like to add.
Exactly!
If by “touch” you mean “strangle”
I’d have to replace Hawkin’s Poppy for Keira Knightley’s Georgiana in The Duchess. Because the Duchess of Devonshire was a real woman who had real resilience in the face of real tragedy — and, unlike Poppy, her personality exists within the realm of recognizable reality.
My 2008 top 10 fabulous females in a foreign language:
1. Catherine Deneuve as Junon in A Christmas Tale
2. María Onetto as Vero in The Headless Woman
3. Nurgül Yesilçay as Ayten in The Edge of Heaven
4. Lina Leandersson as Eli in Let the Right One In
5., 6., 7. Sarah Adler, Noa Knoller & Ma-nenita De Latorre as Batia, Keren & Joy in Meduzot (Jellyfish)
8. Jeanne Balibar as Antoinette in The Duchess of Langeais
9. Asia Argento as Vellini in The Last Mistress
10. Galina Vishnevskaya as Aleksandra in Aleksandra
as I do at every opportunity…Sally Hawkins!
I fell in love twice this year. First Eve and then Poppy.
then Brad Pitt came along and had to ruin it all *swoon.
Eve actually had such an amazing character arc. From the no-nonsense snob who’s utterly focused on her mission to the robot who would go to any extent for love. Her main ‘dramatic’ scene is where she sees clips of Wall-E caring for her when she’s switched off and realizes how much he loves her. And in the second half, you know that Eve would go to the ends of the universe to save Wall-E. She agrees to the plant thing only because she knew she could repair Wall-E on Earth. Its weird but humanity could return to Earth only because Eve loved Wall-E.
I just saw Revolutionary Road. I think its the most intelligent and well acted film I’ve seen in ages. The breakfast scene was creepily good. I hope Kate Winslet wins the BA award.
What a great list…but I have to say that Allison Pill in Milk (the only gal – outside of Anita Bryant), gave a wonderful ballsy performance – I wonder why we haven’t seen her around awards season – is it because she doesn’t have “a for your consideration scene”?
Oh yeah – and Anita Bryant for Best Supporting Actress!!!
Allison Pill is listed in the FYC on Focus Features website.
How do we get Anita Bryant nominated for a Razzie like Bush was a few years ago? Seriously, I want to do this!
Bush campaigned for it.
And how do we campaign for Mrs. Bryant?
Is it just me, or did anyone else find EVE to be not quite up there? You have extraordinarily complex characters in concept, in script and in performance and there was plenty of those this year (such a good year to have such a list, imo). I just didn’t find EVE to be as rich in character. I loved her, yes. I adored the film; I got it for Christmas and just can’t stop watching it! I just don’t feel that she’s at all worthy of being top of the list. A part of me thinks that perhaps it’s because I’m not a woman, that if I was a woman I would feel a greater connection to her character, an instinct that compels me to feel celebratory when such a commanding, assertive, admirable female character appears in a mainstream film. I don’t mean any offence at all, I just wonder what it is that I’ve missed in her.
My top ten would be:
1. Juliette Fontaine (Kristin Scott Thomas in I’ve Loved You So Long)
2. Ray Eddy (Melissa Leo in Frozen River)
3. April Wheeler (Kate Winslet in Revolutionary Road)
4. Hanna Schmitz (Kate Winslet in The Reader)
5. Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire (Keira Knightley in The Duchess)
6. Wendy (Michelle Williams in Wendy and Lucy)
7. Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Meryl Streep in Doubt)
8. Maria Elena (Penélope Cruz in Vicky Cristina Barcelona)
9. Rachel (Rosemarie DeWitt in Rachel Getting Married)
10. Linda Litzke (Frances McDormand in Burn After Reading)
I’ve decided to include only one character from each film, but many of these characters would simply not have been what they are without other superb female characters: I’ve Loved You So Long, Frozen River, The Duchess, Doubt, Vicky Cristina Barcelona and, especially, Rachel Getting Married. I just thought this to be the most fair way of compiling my list.
Other than these other actresses in the films above, EVE is my No. 11, btw!
HANNA SCHMITZ!
Christine Collins (no mother would be that wimpy for that long)
We just see that you are not a mother.
sister aloysius beauvier and april wheeler are the most complex women’s roles of 2008…one from a great play and one from a great novel..
what Meryl streep and Kate Winslet did with those characters was astonishing to witness and watch…2 roles with so many complex characteristics and longings….
so the best actress oscar goes to the more iconic screen role, and the long overdue streep, finally!!!

Sorry, but apart from the name EVE how in the world one goes guessing EVE is sexually female? I can understand by Disney standards, if Wall·E was going to considered “male”, EVE would have to be considered “female” for not receiving backslash for “promoting homosexuality” among children. But those values you mention, Sasha, aren’t exclusive patrimony of women. I could introduce you to my – very manly – boyfriend who share those ones.
One of the very few flaws of Wall·E is actually that one, a not-so-subtle perpetuation of the (heterosexual) sex roles even throught the asexual robots.
Something important to remember about Jolie and her character in Changeling is WHEN the story takes place and where women sat in society in a world dominated by men — men had the power to ruin her life, to throw her into a mental hospital (which they do) for defying them — a mother in that world, facing what she did would act precisely as she did.
Wow, I can’t believe that you have Queenie on this list as a well-written character, even though you acknowledge she is an “archetype”.
Other than that, this is great, and a wonderful idea!
Sasha, you have to see VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA and you’ll see the scenestealer word in Penélope’s Maria Elena. Though, she isn’t as well written as Helen Sinclair or Olive Neal (Bullets over Broadway).
And… Where is Kate Winslet in ‘The Reader’? No one liked it? Wrong feelings…
Very good analysis. I’m still anxious to see Sigourney Weaver get a juicy role.
In the lesser-developed category I’d add Tilda Swinton in BAR (“Did you pick up the cheese thingies?”) and Benjamin Button, where she miraculously rounded out that character with not much time to do so.
Streep’s Sister Aloysius speaks volumes.
Also glad to see McDormand’s Linda Litzke here, even if that character seemed to be functioning in a sort of parallel universe (which made the end all the more interesting).
This is totally off-topic but I think it will be interesting to share. Just read that . It was published by the Associated Press branch office of my country: in Philadelphia during Christmas night (25th) a guy shot other man in the arm because he and his family are talking too much inside a movie theater. First the shooter throw some popcorn against a little boy. Then he shoots the boy father’s. The movie all the involved in this bizarre incident were watching? “The Curious Case onf Benjamin Button”.
Gotta say that act is incredible demented and unjustified. Hope the guy gets a proper jail time. But you know what? Talking people in movie theaters are among the most despicable and awful person in the world. The reaction are way over the top, but couldn’t stop disagreeing with those who changes cinema in to a kind of public lecture.
In my mind I comited acts of violence towards them countless times. In my mind.
Saw that this morning here too, Joao.
First rule of Benjamin Button:
Do NOT talk during Benjamin Button.
I’d add Hiam Abbass as the mother in The Visitor.
What makes the role interesting is her relationship with Walter Vale.
I wonder if she’s gonna pull off a Shoreh Aghdashloo (House of Sand and Fog) surprise nod? I hope so.
*Benjamin Button Spoiler Warning*
I just wanted to throw my two cents in on one thing. The women of Benjamin Button are some the worst representations of women I recall from recent memory. Queenie is all about conception. Daisy only finds true happiness by being wounded and then for a brief moment having the happy family dynamic play out. Her dreams are crushed so she can finally be with her man. Maybe it says something about me though that I agree with you on Elizabeth Abbot. That little bit of time with her in it, was the very best part of an otherwise easily forgotten film.
Anyway totally agree with you about EVE and can’t wait to finally see Frozen River.
Ryan
Did you see the guy’s mug shot? How can anybody thought it was safe to chat close to this guy inside a movie theater? The weirdest (and is not cool to say that, but in a freak, “theater of menance” way, something that can make us laugh) is the shooter comig back to his seat to watch the film as nothing had happened/ he didn’t do nothing!
People are so unfair claming “TCCOBB” a cold film… Imagine if that wacko found hot and tense…… Poor family.
I’d add Hiam Abbass as the mother in The Visitor.
What makes the role interesting is her relationship with Walter Vale.
I wonder if she’s gonna pull off a Shoreh Aghdashloo (House of Sand and Fog) surprise nod? I hope so.
I thought the same thing when I saw the film last night and immediately wondered who was vulnerable. Cruz is still a lock, Tomei has been gaining momentum, Winslet is Winslet. If the one or both of the Doubt women and/or Taraji P. Henson somehow slips, Abbass could get in. I always expect a surprise in Supporting anyway.
None of the idealized women in Synecdoche?
How about Julianne Moore in Blindness?
4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days? The friendship?
Easy choices you’ve made.
I did see the mug shot, Joao.
He looks like a young Luca Brasi.
Or Johnny Caspar from Miller’s Crossing.
Bless You RYAN!!!
Catherine Deneuve as Junon is one of the best written characters male or female!
1. Rachel (rachel getting married)
2. Kym (rachel getting married)
3. Poppy (happy-go-lucky)
4. Junon (a christmas tale)
5. Eve (wall-e)
6. Lila (frozen river)
7. April (revolutionary road)
8. Zoe (happy-go-lucky)
9. Zainab (the visitor)
10. Faunia (a christmas tale)
Window Dressing:
Latika (Slumdog)
Caroline (Frost/Nixon)
Chloe (In Bruges)
Yes Ryan! He truly looks like Brasi and Caspar (love “Miller’s Crossing”).
I’m not a big fan of “Frozen River” and think that Leo is being overhyped for it (prefer her in other films), but agreee with those who are praising Lila / Misthy Upham. Quite interesting character, strong perfomance.
Saw in september a deeply sad american indie, “Story of Jen”, starring the french actress Marina Hinds. Anyelse saw it? Has two powerful characters, mother and daughter.
How about “Downloading Nancy” with Maria Bello. It’s very, very disturbing, and not politically correct, but I guess Bello did a wonderful job portraing someone traumatized by childhood.
Yes, indeed. Easy choices. I should have perhaps stipulated it with “Best Written Female Characters in the Oscar race.” That might have helped. Also, I haven’t yet seen Synecdoche. As far as Angelina’s Christine Collins goes, of course I know that women were dominated by men, and of course I AM a mother, which is why it was hard to really buy the character’s reaction. I thought that it was kind of one-note. The same sad note played for two hours.
Taraji P. Henson could have been just one thing but she wasn’t – she was funny, had romantic notions, headed up an old folks’ home and of course she saw Benjamin as a child of God. She was an interesting character to me. A whole person.
I liked this TOP 10.
Thankfully Wendy (Michelle Williams) was mentioned in “Honorable Mentions.” It would have been a travesty for her not to be mentioned at all.
Well Sasha, It was that said “Big Beautifull Changeling”, not me. I just dont understand why you “liked” the movie so much without loving his main and in a way only character. Its strange.
Angelina Jolie’s character may have suffered after the reveal of her “son,” but the scenes where she is with her son are the best this year as far as I’m concerned. There’s a certain grace that she has in those scenes that I rarely ever see.
I wish there was more of that, because off those scenes alone, I think she should get a nomination. Anne Hathaway for the win though.
The one big difference between Hiam Abbass in “The Visitor” and Shoreh Aghdashloo in “House of Sand and Fog” (originally typed House of Sand and Dog) is that Aghdashloo was a crit favorite that year, so her Oscar nomination wasn’t quite as “out-of-left-field” as it is made out to be. I think she won both the NYFC and LAFC Best Supporting Actress prize that year. Abbass, however, has been completely missing from end-of-the-year kudos.
With Cruz, Winslet, Davis, Adams, Tomei, Hensen, and even DeWitt and Winger in the mix, it just seems too crowded for Abbass to break through. I loved “The Visitor,” Jenkins, and Abbass, though, so I would love to be proven wrong.
LadyLurks, you’re my hero for the day for pumping VCB. Am I just traveling in the wrong circles or did that movie not get enough love and respect?
Having said that Sophia Coppola’s Nose, Penelope indeed gave a great performance, but I’m not sure it was a great character which was the point of Sasha’s column. I say this as someone who loved the movie.
Jesus Alonso, I saw a paparazzi picture on the Internet of EVE getting out of a limo where you could see her co-axial connection…definitely female.
And poor Queenie. Yes, she fits the mold of a certain stereotype, but I really believe Ms. Henson transcends it. It’s not there on the page, but Henson makes her a human being.
And finally…Sasha. What a great list! I’d bump EVE down a bit, much as I liked her and the film. Streep and Leo were just too much. The great thing about Aloysius is that I thought I knew what she was going to be based on the trailer. The revelation that she wasn’t just a one-note character made the movie for me.
And thank you for so concisely highlighting why Leo’s character was great. I’m not as keen on the movie overall, but the idea that Ray is allowed to be flawed yet still highly sympathetic is a very delicate balancing act. She feels like a real person.
I might also add Kate Beckinsale as Annie the ex-homecoming queen still trapped in a tiny town in Snow Angels.
Eve isn’t female, and saying Eve is makes you a bad person, and you should feel bad.
Yeah, last comment on this. Raise hands if you think I liked The Dark Knight? Did I include Rachel in my disappointed list? Yes. Did I think Changeling was a very good film? YES. In spite of the part Jolie played as written. I understand these are two contradictions but I do think it’s possible to enjoy a film whether the female characters were well written or not – after all, almost every film is made that way. All characters are not all well written. I am not faulting Jolie nor the film nor the screenwriter. They were working with historical record and there wasn’t much to fill in in terms of Collins. But it was one-note to me. Not dissing Jolie – love her.
Sasha, that’s exactly what we’d expect an industry stooge to say!
Juliette Binoche (again) gave the best performance of the year as Suzanne in The Flight of the Red Balloon. The puppeteer scenes….
Good call, Bob. I loved the scenes where she was interacting…or not interacting…with her son. There was always this layer of distraction with her. She’d try to pretend like she was engaged yet…
Jesus- one can assume that Eve is a female because…well her name is Eve. No a common male name unless it’s spelled Yves. Just because Sasha put it a strong female character doesn’t mean that men automatically can’t have those qualities.
I assumed that Eve was female because she carried life in her stomach a la pregnancy. And she was named Eve… her mothering of the future life on earth. Wall E’s a pretty far shot from Adam, though.

STAR AWARDS NOMINATIONS ANNOUNCED!

The best written role for a GIRL in 2008 was that of Alexandra in the movie The Fall.
Queenie was a terrible, terrible choice. Where is McDormand for Burn After Reading? And Jolie for Changeling?
On The Natural’s Happy Go Lucky comment;
Would you really be totally not annoyed at all if you were in the car with someone driving and then all of the sudden she lets go of the wheel, closes her eyes, and giggles? Everything Scot told her was completely relevant and right. Poppy is incredibly annoying and extremely immature. A deep character with equal amounts of tragedy and humor.
Why is Scarlett Johansson getting the tail end of things with VCB?! I actually think her character is the “best written” in the entire film because she is the one that isn’t as easily readable. Cristina is a big question mark and that is why she is so intriguing when you have the craziness of Maria Elena and the neurosis of Vicky. I guess those characters overshadow Cristina because they are more defined and less obtuse in their characteristics.
And another wonderful performance: Frances McDormand in Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. I know, it’s not on anyone’s Oscar radar, even mine, but McDormand’s performance is touching and funny. She has tremendously good chemistry with Amy Adams and Ciaran Hinds. Moreover, Guinevere Pettigrew is a woman who embraces life and love in middle age: a refreshing theme.
Highly underrated movie, screenguy. Would at least love to see Miss Pettigrew slip in with costume and art direction nominations.
haha. eve definitely is the winner. i would to liked to have seen a higher mention for Kristen Scott Thomas’s character (was it Juliette?) in I’ve Loved you so Long…my favourite
IF you were an actress, you’d want to play Kym Buchman.
I’m baffled by your comment that no mother would be as weepy as Chrsitine Collins for as long as she was. You mean NO WOMAN IN THESE TIMES. In 1928? Sure they would. Kids being snatched off the street was much rarer in those days and women didn’t have the recourse they do today. They also weren’t taken seriously when they had complaints and were told they were being irrationally emotionally and incapable of thinking logically. It wasn’t just the frustation of her child being missing that kept Collins weeping. The frustration of dealing with the cops and the system of the time had as much to with her weepiness as anything else that happened to her.
[...] of the year. There are some surprises, including the fact that the No. 1 actress on her list does not wear clothes and, no, she’s not Kate [...]
Of the ones I’ve seen Meryl Streep is head and shoulders above the rest. Her performance in “Doubt” is as memorable as in Kramer v. Kramer, the first time I saw her, and is nearly as good as Sophie’s choice, in my opinion. Here’s a mini review of “Doubt”:
