Films of 2005 part 12

@ 11:37 AM (46 months, 20 days ago)

Best Actress: 

 

Nominees:

  • Annette Bening (Being Julia)
  • Maggie Cheung (Clean)
  • Penelope Cruz (Non ti muovere)
  • Sibel Kekilli (Gegen die Wand)
  • Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake)
  • Hilary Swank (Million Dollar Baby)
  • Evan Rachel Wood (Thirteen)

 

My only comment here relates to Penelope Cruz as an inclusion in the list.  Her performance, all dressed down and dirty is remarkably good and well above the glamorous roles she usually seems to have.

 

Special Mention to:

 

Hilary Swank (Million Dollar Baby)http://img457.imageshack.us/img457/1548/swank9nv.jpg

 

Another excellent chameleonic effort from Swank who goes the whole way when representing a driven female boxer who ends up a paraplegic.

 

Winners: 

 

Annette Bening (Being Julia)http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/232/bening2cu.jpg

Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake)http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/2987/vera27te.jpg

 

Again a tie!!!  Couldn’t separate these two.  Bening gives a masterclass in playing a grand dame.  Staunton is Vera Drake, a perfect performance as a simple woman who doesn’t quite understand the ramifications of what she has been doing.
