Over the past few months, in the Almost There series, we’ve explored many performances that were at the threshold of an Oscar nomination but, for one reason or another, ended up without that golden hosanna. The choice of subject for each episode has been up to me. In an attempt to avoid negativity, I always went with performances I greatly admire. Why not try a more reproachful assessment or, even more difficult, an ambivalent review? So, the next two performances to be dissected in the series won’t be chosen by me. That’s where you come in…
First up, a selection of performances, new to streaming, making for a timely lineup of potential study objects. Which one do you choose?
Secondly, we have another field of possibility, all from the year 2005, our theme this month as we approach another Smackdown. Which will it be?
You can vote on each poll once a day until Saturday, August 8th. If you like this initiative, we might repeat it in the future. As always, your feedback is appreciated.
