Albert Nobbs

Period piece! Blah blah blah! British-ish! Blah blah blah! Swapping gender roles! Blah blah blah!

Nominated for:
Best Actress (Glenn Close)
Best Supporting Actress (Janet McTeer)

Also nominated for:
Best achievement in makeup

I love Glenn Close as much as the next person, but this film blows. The characters are dull, the cinematography is dull, the music is dull - dull, dull dull. Unfortunately, the Academy seems to have this thing where if an actress dresses like a man, or is man-ish, or just ugly, they feel like its some kind of big acting accomplishment. And they love it even more if she puts on an accent. OMG an ATTRACTIVE WOMAN is pretending to be ANDROGENOUS?!?!?!?! This is MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!!!!!! AWARD her immEEDIATely!

I doubt anyone from this film will win anything. Don't bother watching it. Unless you need a nap, in which case, go for it.

PS - Actually, it might (deservedly) win something for makeup.
