jwpeer 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2006 They'll give the best actress award to Judi Dench, considering there's no clear-cut favorite and she's got the most experience and isn't going to be doing too many more feature roles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted March 5, 2006 Yes, Felicity Huffman will take it because the Best Actress award for the past few years has gone to an actress that's done something crazy to her appearance for her role. Playing a transgendered mom would do the trick here. I'd be surprised that the Academy would take Reese Witherspoon seriously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Playing a transgendered mom would do the trick here. I'd be surprised that the Academy would take Reese Witherspoon seriously. What, going brunette for a roll doesn't count? Okay I know that was bad, but hey I had to say it That really is pathetic when you think about it. Basically its saying that an beautifull actress "plain Jane-ing" herself is Oscar Worthy on its own, let alone what kind of job they do in the movie Kind of goes with their "affliction" love-fest as well. I mean it's one thing if the role really was deserving of awards and praise, but its almost become so cliched now that it comes off as, well, patronizing towards those who share the affliciton of the character that the actor/actress wins it for Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jwpeer 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2006 But doesn't it count that a. Judi Dench had the best performance...and b. she's the best all-around actress too... Oh wait, what am i talking about. Yeah Reese Witherspoon probably will win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2006 Hollywood likes good looking actresses who has a good dramatic performence. Just look at most of the last 10 winners. I would say Witherspoon, is the winner. However, playing a transgender hasn't hurt oscar hopefuls either, so Huffman has a shot. I have a feeling, the voters will like the liberal message of CRASH, enough to put it over B.M. Joaquin could win Best Actor, since the field isn't that strong...but I have a feeling Hoffman has one of those "well...okay" wins but Howard could win just so Hollywood can say "HEY LOOK! BLACK PEOPLE CAN WIN AGAIN! AND IT'S NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL EITHER!". (and Black America, will complain about it somehow) The realistic prediction is that Jon Stewart makes a joke that offends the liberals and that becomes the story. Academy will give up trying to get edgy popular hosts and call Billy Crystal or Steve Martin to do the next 15 shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joaquin could win Best Actor, since the field isn't that strong Are you serious? Where everyone is equal, there's no strong name. I just worded it wrong. The only way Huffman wins, if voters go with the somewhat standard routine of giving the award for actors/actress's who change themselves for the movie. Problem is? They got a beautiful, popular hollywood starlet who actually had a good if not great performence in the way. They'll take the beautiful blonde over the TV star who changed her make up. Also, just wondering if Michelle Williams somehow won the BSA award...would she be only the second actress from a teen soap show (Dawson's Creek) to win an Oscar? (Swank, had a stint with 90210).

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2006 They have to reward Walk the Line somehow, give it to Reese. No one gives a shit about Transamerica. I admire what Felicity Huffman did, but Reese was better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2006 I'm not arguing that Huffman should win, she shouldn't. I was just saying, I wouldn't shocked if Huffman won because she has that one quality the voters like. I'm waiting for a retarded transgender who gained 50 lbs for the role to arrive.

Funny, while Cash went headlong into religion right as the movie ends (not in the full HBK mode, but nearly close enough that I can see atheists and such not liking him) and it would be a strong aspect of his life untill he died the movie doesn't really touch on that aspect, with the exceptions of a handfull of references BTW one of his (Cash's that is) sisters died this weekend (I think there is one brother and one sister left of Cash's 6 siblings), maybe there will be some "added" divine inspiration! = Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
