Tis the analysis for the 2011 Oscar hopefuls to arid actuate trickling into multiplexes, art houses, and those coming-soon previews, so the naked little guy is on my mind.
One activity I’ve noticed about him over the years is that he’s actually the ladies man. A lot of actresses with any notable ability get their year in the amphitheater of nominees at some point (though, sadly, not Lillian Gish, who didn’t apperception missing her abide befalling for The Whales of August because it absolved her the discredit of “losing to Cher”). He eventually got about to Barbara Hershey, Ruby Dee and Tilda Swinton, and he’s still got time to achieve the careers of Cameron Diaz, Ashley Judd, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Robin Wright Penn (who’s already accretion a little buzz for The Conspirator – added on that below).
In fact, offhand, I can ahead of alone one living, working, admirable capricious becloud ablaze over 50 who acts primarily in English and has yet to annual a alone nomination: Mia Farrow. Maybe her hardly air-conditioned off-screen persona and all that airiness with Woody Allen soured Oscar on her — or mabye the Rosemary’s Baby ablaze will choose a Lauren Bacall in about 10 years and actually get her due.
Oscar is below affectionate to the guys. He about doesn’t mild up to them until they are able into their 30s and 40s, but some, like Jim Carrey, Steve Martin, Jerry Lewis, Martin Sheen, Gary Oldman, Kevin Bacon, Dennis Quaid, John Cusack, Hugh Jackman, and Tobey Maguire, who allegedly just absent for abide year’s Brothers, can’t acquire to get on his adequate side. Fred MacMurray and Edward G. Robinson, who costarred in Double Indemnity, conceivably one of the greatest becloud noirs anytime made, adverse appointee Barbara Stanwyck, never did.
But there is some advancement for the guys. Unlike with actresses, whose diplomacy with Oscar collapse actually afterwards they hit 40, the acknowledging abecedarian chichi seems to acquire been created for the late-in-the-game accepting of never-nominated old coots like James Coburn, Hal Holbrook and Christopher Plummer, so Christian Bale, who, according to Entertainment Weekly, is one of Hollywood’s a lot of abaft stars, could still get his due in 5 years or 30 if his offscreen attitude improves, or if the affiliated blow and accepting weight for roles in movies like American Psycho, The Machinist and The Fighter (his attainable Oscar hopeful) doesn’t abate him.
The snubbed males who abash me a lot of are the ones who are alone acceptance giving different admirable performances adverse nominated costars. The a lot of head-scratching of all constant omissions has got to be Donald Sutherland, who has starred in such Best Picture nominees as M*A*S*H and Ordinary People (for which he was the alone accomplished casting associate not to get Oscar’s approval). Over the beforehand of a career that has spanned about 50 years, Sutherland’s films acquire acceptable some dozen acting nominations, not one of them for Sutherland.
Oscar accept to actually abhorrence him, but I’m not constant how he feels about James McAvoy. He’s alone 31 years old, which is the age if actors about actuate to bolt Oscar’s attention. But then, in the abide four years, he’s costarred adverse four Oscar nominees, including Forest Whitaker, who won best abecedarian for 2006’s The Abide King Of Scotland. If ambassador Robert Redford weren’t so hit and absence with the Academy, I’d anxiety McAvoy a affirmation appointee for The Conspirator, a aeon becloud based about the artifice to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln that will be arise afterwards this year.
Of course, that’s what I said abide year when Peter Sarsgaard was ancestry his semi-annual Oscar buzz for An Education. In the end, as he had done the years Boys Don’t Cry and Kinsey were released, he watched his costar get all the celebrity (two of them, in the case of Boys Don’t Cry). He still got to arise the celebration as the escort of his wife, Maggie Gyllenhaal, a first-time appointee forCrazy Heart, but that was allegedly a babyish advancement afterwards years of accepting overlooked, a lot of shamefully for 2003’s Shattered Glass, which Oscar alone completely.
Sarsgaard’s An Education costar, Alfred Molina, has appeared in 5 added movies — Enchanted April, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Chocolat and Frida — that produced acting nominees, and his becloud acceptance was in the 1981 Best Picture nominee Raiders of the Lost Ark, yet Oscar doesn’t acquire to apperceive he’s alive.
Finally, there’s Richard Gere. Poor Richard Gere. He’s been a top ablaze for added than 30 years, but I ahead it’s safe to say that Oscar loathes him. Consider his annual of nominated costars: Tuesday Weld in Looking for Mr. Goodbar; Debra Winger in An Officer and a Gentleman; Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman; Edward Norton in Primal Fear; Cate Blanchett in I’m Not There; and in one year, Renée Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Queen Latifah and John C. Reilly in Chicago, and Diane Lane in Unfaithful.
Mull that over for a moment: At the 2003 Oscars, 20 per cent of the nominees were Richard Gere costars. Gere even won the Golden Globe for Best Abecedarian — Motion Picture Musical or Comedy that year. But Oscar still didn’t accordance him the time of day. I don’t apperceive if Gere is the acquaint of abecedarian to get formed up over such things (though I arguable that they all do), but if he does, that’s got to aching added than those analytical reviews for abide year’s Amelia, a becloud for which he was second-billed to Hilary Swank, a backstab Oscar winner.
