Reminding Oscar voters of great performances of 2007
Posted on January 4, 2008 at 7:12 am
Scott Bowles in USA Today quoted me in his story about performances that should not be overlooked by Oscar voters. I’d add Joseph Gordon-Levitt (and the rest of the cast, who were all brilliant) in The Lookout and Irfan Kahn and Tabu of The Namesake
, Paul Schneider for Lars and the Real Girl
(and he was just as good in “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford”), and Michelle Pfeiffer in Stardust
.
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie! The perspective of first generation immigrants from India captivated me. The story is beautiful,tragic and uplifting – the characters truly became endearing to me.
Thanks, Bridget! As you can see, I picked it as my top film of the year. I, too, was utterly captivated by the story and characters.
