Alyssa Milano???

That was my reaction. I can't find anything on the web about her having won an Oscar, I think it might be one of them there joke things.

Do you mean Marisa Tomei?

Maryssa Tomeilano.

Fuck a Swank. Cher? Whoopie? Mira Sorvino? Lot's of undeserving actresses win oscars. But ZELLWEGER with 3 nominations? Luckiest ever.

there is not a single role she has played that would not have been better served by Close, Huston, Bening or Michael Keaton

I really don't understand all the Renee Zellweger hate, I thought she was quite good in movies like Nurse Betty, Chicago, or Down with Love. Most of the negative comments about her I've read on ILE seem to focus on the fact that she has a weird face. What the kind of a critique is that?!
― Tuomas, Thursday, 31 January 2008 09:13 (sixteen years ago) link
Streep of course

Kate NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST IN FOUR MINUTES Winslet without a doubt.

Julia Roberts is a MOVIE STAR. She only gets in trouble when she tries to act, cf Charlie Wilson's War.
Renee Zellweger kept me from walking out of Jerry Maguire, no mean feat.
― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 31 January 2008 15:33 (sixteen years ago) link
The only thing that kept me from walking out on Jerry Maguire was that walking out would have entailed leaving my house.

(Having said that, Zellweger was awesome in BJD.)

What was up with her accent in that movie?

Thanks jaymc, I'm going to have nightmares now.

She has several hundred lines in the film before that one
― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 31 January 2008 16:57 (sixteen years ago) link
And I don't remember a single one!
Don't even get me started on my Cuba Fucking Gooding Jr backlash. I wish dude had never made a movie after "Boyz In Da Hood".

or Instinct.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 31 January 2008 17:01 (sixteen years ago) link
Or Pearl Harbor, or that stupid fucking diver movie, or the gay boat cruise movie...
― HI DERE, Thursday, 31 January 2008 17:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Or Boat Trip.
One day I came home from work and my husband had left on comedy central for our dog to watch (he feels guilty about leaving him home alone), and Boat Trip was on. ANIMAL ABUSE.
― Nicole, Thursday, 31 January 2008 17:02 (sixteen years ago) link
or those great ads with michael jordan!

the gay boat cruise movie...
Ohhhh I missed this one. Did it star Harvey Fierstein?

2008 sounds promising for Cuba. The plot outline for Harold from imdb - "A teenager with an early onset of male-pattern baldness befriends his high school's janitor."
― Nicole, Thursday, 31 January 2008 17:05 (sixteen years ago) link
A teenager with an early onset of male-pattern baldness = Jon Williams?

I have to assume that the people voting Streep here have only seen her in throw-away bit parts.
― o. nate, Thursday, 31 January 2008 17:16 (sixteen years ago) link
like the ones in her Oscar-nominated movies?
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 31 January 2008 17:17 (sixteen years ago) link
I think she was the best part of The Hours - over pretty strong competition from Julianne Moore and Nicole Kidman.
― o. nate, Thursday, 31 January 2008 17:20 (sixteen years ago) link
Wow – I wanted to stick them all in bag with a scorpion and chimp.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 31 January 2008 17:22 (sixteen years ago) link
Anyway, I think her best work was probably made back in the early '80s, so maybe she's just the wrong age for this board.
― o. nate, Thursday, 31 January 2008 17:23 (sixteen years ago) link
I would have to be paid a substantial fee before I'd ever consider watching that film (xp)
― Tom D., Thursday, 31 January 2008 17:23 (sixteen years ago) link
It's not a great movie - but Streep was good in it.
― o. nate, Thursday, 31 January 2008 17:24 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm with Kael -- too often she creates an excellent impersonation of a human being
Right. This is a common problem among British actors, less so among American actors.
― Tom D., Thursday, 31 January 2008 17:29 (sixteen years ago) link
Emma Thompson's emerged from this completely unscathed, you'd think someone would be gunning for her (not me, I don't have much of an opinion either way).
― chap, Thursday, 31 January 2008 17:30 (sixteen years ago) link
Otm. She's been good in several films, mostly from the 80's, but I get the impression that now she's just cashing in, which is fine by me.
― Michael White, Thursday, 31 January 2008 17:33 (sixteen years ago) link
Pauline Kael is dead, and so is that initial phase of Streep's career. Not that I'm defending her doing Mamma Mia.
Streep is a riot in Manchurian Demmedate if you just forget about the first version.
― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 31 January 2008 17:35 (sixteen years ago) link
^^^^^^^^^^ truth
I think she was the best part of okay in The Hours - over pretty strong competition from Julianne Moore and Nicole Kidman. Toni Collette was the only good thing about that movie and she was only on screen for about 15 minutes.
fixed

I would have said Julia Roberts before I opened the thread, but who knew that Renee Zellweger had ever been nominated? dogshit.
Lots other overrated (or just bad) actresses there .. in fact, most of them.
― dave 2¼, Thursday, 31 January 2008 18:17 (sixteen years ago) link
compared to whom? It's not like the Academy is going to be naming Emanuelle Beart, Sylvie Testud and Gong Li every year.
