Comedies are usually long shots, but hey, Joan was great. A dramatic turn for Kim gets her a nomination. She even had a little bonus going for her, as it appeared she had snagged Matt Damon's heart as well as a Supporting Actress nomination. All very strong performances this year, and they all will go home empty-handed. Playing the elder version of Kate Winslet's character, Gloria Stuart has everyone believing she is a candidate for a mention by Willard Scott, and that she had indeed been on the unsinkable ship the night it hit that iceberg.
Timing is, indeed, everything.
Any one of those other actresses might have a shot at going home with the gold in any other year. But not this year. Better luck next time, ladies. Inc. All Rights Reserved.
