I still think the lead from Winter's Bone should probably take home the Best Actress Oscar, but Portman should get a nomination. She clearly poured everything she had into the role. I like the movie a lot, but it didn't have quite the same visceral impact that Requiem had. That's not necessarily a criticism because very few movies have the same visceral impact of Requiem...
It was actually very similar in a lot of ways to The Wrestler, thematically. But Natalie Portman is a lot more fun to look at for 2 hours than Mickey Rourke.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I've totally forgot that I could come here to discuss movies. Black Swan was a great film. Great performances all around. Lots of great visuals and just a fantastic dramatic journey.
I also can't believe you saw Winter's Bone Butch. I thought I was the only one in the world who saw it. That was a damn great performance and I will surely root for her during oscar time. Portman trained 9 months doing ballet. She looked as if she had done it all her life. Amazing.
Also, Love Aronofsky except for the muddled Fountain. But I do believe the late change in cast fucked with that movie.
