: : Tee-hee... : : For what it's worth, my thoughts on the Oscar stuff I'm even mildly : : interested in. : : : Performance by an actor in a leading role : : Denzel Washington in "Training Day" (Warner Bros.) : : This made me very happy. I dug "Training Day" a lot. Glad to see I wasn't : : alone. : : : Performance by an actor in a supporting role : : Ethan Hawke in "Training Day" (Warner Bros.) : : I'm no big Hawke fan, but this was deserved. Glad to see he wasn't : : overlooked. Maybe there's hope for the Academy after all. : : : Performance by an actress in a leading role : : Renée Zellweger in "Bridget Jones's Diary" (Miramax/Universal/StudioCanal) : : Holy shit on toast! Another good call that wasn't really expected. I hope : : like hell that she wins. Members of the voting body of the actor's branch, : : I salute you. : : : Performance by an actress in a supporting role : : Marisa Tomei in "In the Bedroom" (Miramax) : : Let's just hope Jack Palance isn't presenting this year - maybe then : : Tomei's win won't have this dark cloud hanging over it. 'Cuz, me? I : : thought she was brilliant in "My Cousin Vinnie." I really did. : : However, it seems like a lock for Jennifer Connelly, as it's her year : : apparently - which is nice for those of us who thought it was her year with : : "The Rocketeer" or "Labyrinth", or even "Some Girls" or "Seven Minutes in : : Heaven." Lest there be a legion of "What about 'Career Opportunities', : : man!!! She was so hot in that!!!" posts following this, I'd just like to : : say, for the record, that I never saw "Career Opportunities", so I can't : : comment on her perf in that flick. And since I didn't see "A Beautiful : : Mind", I can't comment on her perf in that flick either, so let's move : : on... : And Requiem for a Dream. Scary, scary, scary movie, intense performance. Can't get the image of her standing staring skyward out of my head, or her curled up on the couch with the heroin, or the contrast in attitude she brings to the two meetings with the family lawyer. : Ellen Burnstein won for that last year, I think, so people must have seen the movie. How did they miss this?
