Maggie Smith may be able to do this in her sleep now, but this was the template. It's always interesting to try and put yourself in a place of never having seen these women, especially when we are getting closer to careers that we have been following for Criticlasmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942568777607340234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640084.post-30796546556249728402007-06-24T14:17:00.000-04:002007-06-24T14:17:00.000-04:00I can't believe Maggie Smith didn't win.

She should've had dual nominations. Smith is certainly hilarious, but Fonda gives the film an early emotional weight that makes the Matthau/May storyline relatively bearable near the end.<BR/><BR/>It's strange to me that Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06800396931252225965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640084.post-46170966526711075402007-06-24T12:17:00.000-04:002007-06-24T12:17:00.000-04:00As the zingers were rolling in, I was impressed ho...As the zingers were rolling in, I was impressed how clearly the top 3 (Smith, Stapleton, Streep - or the perfs that garnered two sets of 5 hearts) gathered a kind of consensus that the other two (Cannon, Milford) simply did not. Even when folks faulted Maggie or Meryl, they did so with grudging nods to their substantial ability.

Monopolizing the film’s hairspray budget, staking exclusive rights to the color red, Stapleton’s still no caricature. Even the sound of her voice is quietly enriching. And how about that mesmerizing little dance of hers? Totally CanadianKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12240756292929779255noreply@blogger.com
