Amy Adams as Tonya Harding.

(she could pull it off!)

LeMann Rimes as Nancy Kerrigan (Here's Nancy, looks like LeMann eh? --get her a dark wig, of course).

Lifetime, make it happen!!

Y'all are killing me with this Tonya admiration, ugh

Agreed. I don't know how to score either but even I could tell that technically Nancy skated better than Oksana. But Oksana breathed that moment. You could feel her exuberance. Nancy was a cold fish. Even when she smiled it was almost a sneer. There is an artistic component to skating and personality is part of it. Nancy made beautiful skating boring. For that alone she deserved to lose.

but WHYYYYY WHYYYYYY WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY

As for Tonya, I'd just as soon watch Hulk Hogan on skates.

When I first glanced at that picture of Amy Adams, I thought damn, Tonya is looking pretty good!!! Oh wait

Tonya skated at a rink near my high school best friends house. I skated a few times at the rink she practiced at. We used to be awed knowing that she lived nearby - she was soo notorious to a 14 year old.

Actually LeMann could play both roles, Nancy for looks and Tonya for trashiness.

I was a competitive skater in SoCal between the ages of 7-15 and I'm just a couple of years older than these two. The general rule was that the scrappy trailer trash girls were always better than the elite girls, but rarely placed well. I can't even watch skating now, it's boring and everybody is the same.

Tonya is about to be interviewed on Access Hollywood.

The ESPN documentary on this was soooo good. This is the first sports scandal I remember- I was about 12 when it happened. I liked Tonya Harding then, I still do, especially after the ESPN doc. She is still super bitter (my favorite part of the doc is when she said that Nancy should have jut shut up and been happy with a silver medal) but that's to be expected. I have never been able to stand Nancy Kerrigan and even though Tonya was obviously involved in the attack I still have her back over Kerrigan's.

I don't condone what she did but damn it, she's much more likable than Nancy.

This was 20 years ago??? Damn I'm old!

**Wilson** · January 27th, 2014, 08:56 PM

Didn't Kerrigan's brother kill her father or some such nonsense?

Seriously!! I feel your pain.

I'm all for Amy Adams as Tonya- she has proven her acting/ accent chops in American Hustle. However, I've vowed to never watch anything starring that pimp-pig Leann Rimes, even if she IS a dead ringer for Nancy Kerrigan as a brunette.

How could anyone EVER think Tonya was innocent of the attack on NK? Surf for "Tonya Harding, body language" to see how much proof there is against her story in the NK affair.
