Now I have to utter a futile howl of rage and pain on behalf of that wonderful film Carol, directed by Todd Haynes, adapted from the Patricia Highsmith novel by Phyllis Nagy and with sublime performances from Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara. How on earth has this superb movie been so overlooked by the Academy? I now hope that Carol has a kind of One Direction career: snubbed by the awards establishment, it may get an underdog bounce as everyone realises that it is better than most of the films being showered with praise. - Peter Bradshaw from The Guardian.I feel tapped out on what to say here, and don't want to sound repetitive even though I am totally capable of that one! Been participating in comments from the get go on this page which is something I have never done before. I'm new to social media. As we are drawing to an end here I think, I would be seriously remiss if I didn't participate now. The film and all it represents from the storyline to the masterful performances of Rooney and Cate, direction of Todd, score by Carter, etc., etc., is just so, so important to me. Important in my life and I can see from so many of you just how important and meaningful it is to you. It has been a wonderful experience for me to share in this with all of you. I thank all of you for that! Your sensitivities are amazing! As much as the Academy disappoints, and they disappoint on lots of levels( like Gaga not getting the award for Till it Happens to You), the fact that this film was nominated for 6( I think) awards is a wonderful thing and a good start to acceptance and hopefully understanding one day. It is beautiful everything from start to finish. I now hold it close to my heart. A line that resonates for me, there are no accidents, and everything comes full circle. I am forever hopeful! Once again, thank you, thank you Team Carol for giving of yourselves in the most beautiful way!
These 2 beautiful highly intelligent women out shadowed everyone at the Oscars last night. Americans are prudish about sex, it's embarrassing to be One. This is one of the best, sexiest, and saddest( her creepy husband succeeds at ripping her daughter from her only because she is gay) movies I've seen and I love both of these actresses!
