Sandra's sad hearted Dr Stone star turn was lauded for its physical commitment (imagine making it!). Plus the film was a massive hit. |
Dench's performance as the title character, a woman in search of the now 50 year old son she lost to adoption, is baity, funny and moving |
Violet Weston is a mammoth role and 37 years into her movie reign Streep can still do no wrong with Oscar. Review & 18th Nom |

Who Got Snubbed? |

In the Dread Sixth Spot-- That'd be the shoe-averse Emma Thompson for Saving Mr Banks who appeared in all the key precursors and who was an absolute delight in the pre-season. Shame that we won't get more of her. And she acts infrequently, too. (sniffle) |
