watch her endlessly in those beautiful gowns.
Franco is an idiot. Did he look once in her direction? He looked, most of the time, like he was imitating Jack's Joker grimace.
"Winter's Bone" got stiffed. Easily should have won Best Picture. Best Actress. Best Supporting Actor.
Rainman with a Stutter is a typical disability genre film. Very well done, hardly best film material. In a weak year, Firth deservedly won. Since many thought he should have last year, this is a typical Oscar move: make you earn it twice to show it isn't a fluke. Eisenberg did a fine job, too, and I thought it wouldn't have been remiss to reward the kid. But Firth deserves it more.
Portman? God awful. She just cannot speak, how can she be best anything acting? Seriously, just listen to her voice. She hasn't one. She croaks. No projection, enunciation.
Gwyneth Paltrow: a perfectly horrible performance (all the singing was horrendous, with the exception of Hathaway who also showed some dancing chops). An excellent example of how one can hit all the notes and be boring as wallpaper. No soul, no feeling. And she looked terrified (and terrible; pasty-faced and emaciated).
Scarlett?
I could have watched a lot more of her, too (ahem......).
