Best Actress 2007: Best Actress Nomination

A great year for women in film Much like this year really.

Penelope Cruz, Volver; Judi Dench, Notes on a Scandal; Helen Mirren, The Queen; Meryl Streep, The Devil Wears Prada; Kate Winslet, Little Children.

So many wonderful choices.

Truth be told I could have gone with any but the winner Helen Mirren. Ms. Mirren did a wonderful Impression of Elisabeth 2.
Meryl amazed in comic brilliance wearing Prada.
Judi was scarily sinister who caused a scandal.
Penelope proved once and for all that she WAS an actress to be reckoned with.

Kate created a character from the inside out. She had her best role to date with 'Little Children'. She should have won.

Beat Actress Nomination 2005

THE BIG INSULT.

Hillary Skank won for 'Million Dollar Baby'
Kate should have won in the most versatile role of her career to date: 'The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'.

Her Clenintine was amazingly different and comic.
She was brilliant. Jim Carey was robbed of a nomination for the film. It remains his best work to date.

Hillary Skank indeed!!!

Kate WAS the Best Actress that year!!!

Kate's Third Nomination Was for 'Iris'

Kate lost to Jennifer Connelly in 'A Beautiful Mind' in 2002.
With Marisa Tomey also in the mix for 'In the Bedroom' it was a tough race in a tough year.

Jennifer won and there is no argument from me.

The argument comes with the next nomination when she was ROBBED!!!

'Titanic': Kate's Second Nomination and The First for Best Actress

Helen Hunt won for 'As Good As It Gets' good god!
Miss Hunt won as part of the Oscar sweep for the film.

Kate was good but not ready yet especially against Julie Christie in 'Afterglow' and Judi Dench in 'Mrs Brown'. Julie should have gotten it that year. Judi would have been acceptable. But Helen Hunt? Just check her body of work since then. Oh right she doesn't have a body of work since then. DUH!!!.
