Why is she doing TV?


No offense to The Office (great shpw) but I mean she just got an oscar nomination. She must be getting lots of movie role offers.
I don't really get it.

tv was where she made her name and got her movie roles. she was great in the best show ever, 'The Wire'

I would have a hard time deciding between "The Wire" or "Curb Your Enthusiasm" or "My So-Called Life" or "Mad Men" or a handful of other shows, but yes, there's some TV that is as good as film and maybe better than some. I disliked her based on Gone Baby Gone, which I thought was one of the most preposterous, disgusting movies I've seen in years. Had it not been for "The Office" and "The Wire" I might have missed out on what an unassuming, direct actress she is.
