Oh, how happy I am that she did. With all the hoopla about King’s Speech (which I have no wish to see) I was afraid she’ll not get her due. Yes, Oscar was her due, for a beautiful, outstanding work – I knew it right after I saw the film. And her acceptance speech was good, too. She didn’t thank God, thanks god.
Congratulations, Natalie!
Как я рада, что она победила. Со всей этой шумихой вокруг “Королевской речи” я боялась, что её обойдут и не дадут заслуженное. А она заслужила, ещё как – блестящей, проникновенной работой. Мне сразу после фильма так и подумалось. И речь она сказала хорошо, без всяких там “благодарю Господа”, слава те.
Поздравляю, Натали!
Update
Ahaha! read in some cinemaphile’s comments mention of “Nassim’s book” in connection with Black Swan movie. Hilarious.
I watched about ten minutes of it, in-between my viewings of Tron, True Grit, and Black Swan, and found it to be mildly entertaining. Certainly not Best Picture worthy. At least, not any more than the 5,000 other Merchant Ivory, English costume dramas cast with people from the UK that we’ve been treated to over the past two decades.
Jason Smith sums up my feelings perfectly:
King’s Speech wins. That means every voter over 50 returned their ballot on time.

I think they just can’t resist the accent. oh, and they “love a good cry”, too.

I’m happy for Natalie as well. I’m sure she deserved it, and I loved the movie.
Couldn’t help observing such a great concentration of happiness in one short moment – Oscar, pregnancy and wedding preparations… again, very happy for her, she’s a wonderful actress!

yes, it is all very cinematic, isn’t it? imagine the pre-history her child will live with: when my mother played a half-mad ballerina in a movie she met a choreographer, they fell in love, conceived me and got engaged; then she was awarded Oscar and I was born.
not many people have a personal history like that…
