If you don't think she should get award for this movie.....you're CRAZY!


I was blown away with her performance from the first scene. What an amazing actress! Congratulations Amy and thanks for the performance!

Which movie are you referring to?

The Changeling of course!

That's what I figured, but I just wanted to be absolutely sure!

Thanks for the clarification!

i guess i'm crazy.
she SHOULD have won it for GONE, BABY, GONE - don't know why tilda swinton got it - but not for this film. her character just not featured enough, not enough to see.

I agree that her performance in CHANGELING is excellent, but perhaps her role is too small and not enough showy to be remembered...and that's a pity if you consider that she was so acclaimed for a showboating perf such as the one in GONE BABY GONE.
Actually it's true that it's unfair to consider Eastwood's flick just as an Angie's vehicle. she's amazing, but I think we can say the same concerning the supporters, expecially IMHO Michael Kelly as the detective who discovers the truth...
I don't know if Jolie or Ryan will be nominated this year (even if I hope so), but I really, really wish CHANGELING receives the nomination as best ensemble by the Screen Actors Guild Awards...because it really deserves it!!!

She was good in Changeling, but not in there enough for any award. I agree she was much better in Gone, Baby, Gone, but that year I was rooting for Cate Blanchett for I'm Not There., although I would have liked either of them to win over Swinton.

she was amazing in Gone Baby Gone. Overall it was a great performance, she had me feeling for her one moment and wanting to strangle her the next. As a Boston resident, I find her near or at the top of a very short list of actors who were believable as a Bostonian. Her accent was spot-on, no bad Kennedy impersonation here. Her look, sound, mannerisms: perfect working-class local chick. Very abrasive and just the right amount of skankiness. I come across dozens of women that look like her around here everyday. Bravo!

This is Dorsia?
