(Aside from Ronan, in my opinion).<BR/><BR/>I don't think she's going to win, statistically speaking. Blanchett has double nominations, and she's going to win one of them. I think the only people to lose both of them were Weaver, Thompson and Moore. So I think she has a very good shot at Sam Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09456254953886041016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640084.post-43586956470311837472008-02-05T13:34:00.000-05:002008-02-05T13:34:00.000-05:00I wish I was older and smarter.I wish I was older and smarter.Slaytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03788927670985682471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640084.post-72714554088036132682008-02-04T15:14:00.000-05:002008-02-04T15:14:00.000-05:00Not to mention Bacall's...BUT Dee's never been a H...Not to mention Bacall's...<BR/><BR/>BUT Dee's never been a Hollywood icon (Bacall), or a particularly lost treasure (Stuart). Dee, like Holbrook, has been trouping along the whole time, so it's a different lifetime of achievement, a different sort of career to recognize (hence, the SAG win). Plus, Dee has a strong cohort of support from the indie generation that "discovered" her through Spike StinkyLuluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11765533714740641857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640084.post-40565893707068259182008-02-04T14:39:00.000-05:002008-02-04T14:39:00.000-05:00have you guys forgotten what happened to Gloria St...have you guys forgotten what happened to Gloria Stuart's "career recognition"?Alfred Sotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10465449057630241820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640084.post-86252887041713624472008-02-04T11:00:00.000-05:002008-02-04T11:00:00.000-05:00CAL: But I have a strong feeling that people have...CAL: But I have a strong feeling that people have very different views on which performance is "the real bait" in the 2007 field. For some it's Amy; for others it's Tilda; for others it's still Saoirse; and for still others it's Cate's award. I'm just not sure, but it definitely doesn't feel as sewn up as it did a month ago.<BR/><BR/>NAT: You may have been at the vanguard of the StinkyLuluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11765533714740641857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640084.post-74408620282855370682008-02-04T10:35:00.000-05:002008-02-04T10:35:00.000-05:00people hate on me for my part in the Blanchett-las...people hate on me for my part in the Blanchett-lash but the way i see it that Best Actress nod for Elizabeth killed her chances at her second win.<BR/><BR/>even people who weren't sick of her were suddenly "ugh. she's been rewarded enough!" and it's that best actress nod that did it.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640084.post-48063964433754594432008-02-04T10:29:00.000-05:002008-02-04T10:29:00.000-05:00Dee and her character definitely deserve to be uti...Dee and her character definitely deserve to be utilised better.

Cate was the obvious celebrity victor for the Globes. Dee was the obvious elder career prize for the SAG's.

I have no idea, really, but, for some reason, I keep thinking that Dee's emerging as that peculiar kind of 2nd choice candidate who sometimes sneaks through to take it.

I'm wrong all the time, but I don't think the Academy is nearly as tempted to reward the veterans as they used to be (if Alan Arkin's competition had been as rich as this field is, he wouldn't have won), and frankly, I don't think Hollywood is nearly as attuned to the Dee/Davis legend as they would need to be to make this gesture.

I wouldn't mind if she won, for nostalgia's sake, but it would certainly be an inconsequential one.<BR/><BR/>And yippe to you for mentioning Dee's amazing work in "A Raisin in the Sun."
