THE CONCLUSION
2010 was an incredible year for actresses, and those five actresses were the best that year, but I would have maybe replaced Annette by Julianne Moore. Everyone in this line-up gave a very intense performance. The ranking was difficult to make, especially in the top three, but Michelle Williams is hands down my pick, she doesn't give a performance, she doesn't act, she embodies Cindy, in a way I have rarely seen on screen. Natalie Portman and Nicole Kidman are really close to Williams, each one probably gave the best performance in their respective career, I put Kidman ahead because even if Natalie is exceptionnal, I think the role of Nina Sayers is such a showy and rich role that any talented actresses could give at least a fine performance with it. Jennifer Lawrence is a real surprise, she's clearly one of my new favorite actresses, and I really want to see what she will do next. Annette Bening really impresses me. Usually, I'm not fond of her acting, but here, she's really great. The Competition was so hard that year, everyone gave an Oscar calibre performance.
THE ACADEMY AWARDS and ME
NEXT YEAR: THE NEW BANNER AT THE TOP IS AN EASY CLUE.
This blog is becoming my favourite. I'm very excited about next year: Hepburn delivered one of my favourite performances! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm disappointed that Natalie didn't win but I can't complain about Michelle's win. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI am shocked! Natalie is the third? I can't believe my eyes... :)
ReplyDeleteShe's third, but she has a 5. The more I think about It, and the more I'm confident about my ranking, I love Natalie's performance, but I find Nicole and Michelle performances more brutal and effective, and their performances are not based on a very showy tortured, damaged character as the one of Nina. The role itself could win the Oscar.
