As soon as I saw the trailer for bride Wars I thought...Why did she do that piece of crap? It's interesting that now I am seeing other posts regarding this very thing.

Streep has been honored and shown much love by the HPFA (the most nominated actor ever and I believe 6 wins total), and I would not be surprised if she adds two more this year, for both "Mamma Mia" and "Doubt" I think Anne Hathaway stands about as much a chance of winning the Golden Globe award over Meryl Streep this year as Beyonce did a couple years ago ("Dreamgirls" vs "Devil Wears Prada").

I think that Anne Hathaway is a very talented actress, but she needs to choose her roles a tad more carefully. Murphy had no excuse!

Plus, I don't think her early work in the Princess Diaries movies have hurt her present career that much either. I only saw the first one, and sure it was a mediocre chick fairy tale, but it wasn't that bad. Amy Adams does similar roles with Enchanted (a much better film, I know), and the upcoming Museum sequel, and she still has a respectable rep. I think that Anne's range as an actress will help her continue to make great films and give great performances, while staying in the occasional chick flick from time to time.

Eddy Murphy was a soul singer and gave his role some soul, but it wasn't on the same level as Anne's anyway. Dreamgirls also wasn't on the level that Rachel Getting Married is, it was showy and bait-y and over-the-top with few subtle moments, so that might have cost him it too, that and the immense amount of buzz that Jennifer Hudson had, something he didn't have. And it was about time Alan Arkin won something. and norbit wasn't just bad, it was really tacky. the thing with eddy murphy is that he has done so so so many bad films, while anne hathaway has done good ones, great ones, mediocre ones, and a couple badish ones. and, i have to be honest, eddy murphy isn't near as likable for many reasons as a wide eyed starlet who completely breaks type for Rachel Getting Married.

But it's not going to help what was a sure thing prior to Bride Wars hitting the scene. It won't be as offensively bad as Norbit.

As far as the Oscar goes, Sally Hawkins owns it in my opinion. I just thing it's more of a nomination thing for her. As far as the Oscar goes, Sally Hawkins owns it in my opinion.
