I admit, I only mentioned I'm Not There because I think it'll get some props mostly for Cate Blanchett. She better fucking get nominated for Best Actress, I swear to god.
It COULD get in for music or lighting or something that no one cares about though.
But still though, ENCHANTED? Ugh ugh ugh
Uh I highly doubt she'll get nominated for it, there has been no talk at all about any actors from that movie having a shot at it. But yeah technical ones maybe but there is no "buzz" for those lol.
Whats wrong with enchanted getting a acting nod but not i'm not there? Enchanted had better reviews and praise generally, no?
Okay, if you're allowed to quote shit for this bullshit "Oscar buzz," than so am I:
"The Jude scenes are so well done they make you giddy with delight and unease. Blanchett disappears into the role as eerily as she became Kate Hepburn a few years back: The pipe-cleaner legs, the masklike shades, what critic Janet Maslin once called the "fabulous corona of unkempt hair." This Dylan's a terrified jerk, teetering on the edge of self-immolation, and the music crashes out of him in torrents."
"Blanchett's, of course, is the star turn. both because it's an inspired stunt that she executes with aplomb (she's a more convincing Dylan, no joke, than she was a Katharine Hepburn) and because she's playing Dylan in 1965, the year he lost his old-folkie admirers on his way to rock stardom. With a fabulous frizz do, and a posture stooped by the burden of celebrity, s/he cavorts with the Beatles at a garden party, meets Allen Ginsberg (Arrested Development's David Cross) on the road and — it was always a game with Dylan — deflects reporters' questions on his political opinions. "Who cares what I think? I'm not the President. I'm not some shepherd. I'm just a songwriter.""
"And I haven't even mentioned Cate Blanchett, under Wayfarers and frizzy hair, who does a spectacular, soul-on-the-sleeve enactment of Dylan in his Don't Look Back media-put-on phase. Blanchett makes Dylan a cussed dude who uses his wit to wound, and Haynes' slyest joke is that the actress, from her lurching marionette posture to her boyish cheekbones to her slurry misanthropic mumble, is the film's most exquisitely spot-on Bob."
"Cate Blanchett, who plays Dylan when he went electric, is getting deserved press for her uncanny performance, which goes beyond the mere impersonation she delivered as Katharine Hepburn in "The Aviator." (The Newport Folk Festival scene alone is worth the price of admission.)"
"All the performances are brilliant but Blanchett's is an act of wonderment; she plays Jude like a marionette ambivalent to its puppeteer, contorting and shifting to "Ballad of a Thin Man," body unencumbered by formal ways of movement."
Maybe they won't include her in Best Actress, but for SURE Supporting Actress.
