Didn't recognize Miranda Otto in The Thin Red Line, and I love that you listed In the Valley of Elah as Jones' best role.

To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised that she was even nominated for her otherwise phenomenal turn in Fincher's masterful adaptation of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Films and performances that dark and twisted get rarely recognized from The Academy. Such a shame. A Rooney Mara's win that year would be really awesome for me as well. I think Meryl's win for The Iron Lady was definitely deserving but as I've said she was so much more deserving for her turns in other films before Phyllida Lloyd's disappointing film.Stergiosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-56474435495689456762014-12-29T16:13:30.786-05:002014-12-29T16:13:30.786-05:00For what, 2014?
