You are sooooo right and I've felt the same way for years. It's like there is a checklist to be a Best Picture Winner:
Foreign accents......
Lead character is disabled or deformed in some way.......
Setting takes place in the past........
Audience likely to fall asleep (English Patient anybody?)

It's so fucking predictable. It's like people think comedy is 'easy' and it isn't easy if it is done well and with sharp wit and well defined characters.

I quite like the whole androgynous thing she's got going on...very cool.

Comedy is probably the HARDEST form of entertainment to do. I'd be terrified if I had to direct a comedy.

I read someone comparing her look last night to David Bowie in The Man Who Fell to Earth. Spot on.

jealous?!

Hey, I didn't say it. I just laughed when someone else said it.

I've loved Tilda since I first saw her in Orlando (with a young and gorgeous Billy Zane), and she is a very tall, very gorgeous strange amazon. Totally original, brilliant, funny, with two lovers, and strange looking twins - she seems to be a 19th century art nouveau european goddess to me...

**AliceInWonderland** · February 25th, 2008, 07:20 PM

she is a goddess! i go on and on about her on the imdb boards, well i used too....

I've loved her ever since I saw Orlando. That movie rocks! Particularly the scenes when she's in that big green dress. I always thought Tilda was robbed of a nomination for The Deep End years ago.

Agreed. And we all know it's harder to get laughs than to get tears.

Thank god I'm not the only one who disliked the English Patient. It was nearly as bad as Titanic, which I truly dispise.
