Of course not, insists John Luchetti at The Film Stage. Because it’ll ruin her love life. *grrr*

With the Oscars about to hit, on Sunday, the 2010 lovefest will be over. But those stings, of the movies you loved that no one else seemed to appreciate, will remain… like with me and my love of Never Let Me Go…

question of the day: Why isn’t Hailee Steinfeld a leading actress?

Mon, Feb 07, 2011
no comments yet

Have you seen True Grit? Have you noticed how it’s pretty much all about a 14-year-old girl? Have you noticed that not only is Hailee Steinfeld’s character the one who drives the story, but she also has at least as much screen time as Jeff Bridges, perhaps even more? So how the heck is she only a “supporting” actress?

I’m surprised — in the most pleasant way — by all the love for Winter’s Bone. It’s a great film, but a tough one, and it’s not usually the kind of movie that gets this much attention from the Academy…

The AWFJ is one of the critics’ groups I belong to; my input helped determine these nominees, and I will vote in the final balloting to narrow it down to the winners. I still have to watch a few of these nominees…
