Watched this on the weekend and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED it. I thought it was a very well scripted film and the performances were simply amazing, its too bad this film lost the momentum it had too early.

Charlize Theron was just OUTSTANDING and gave one of the best performances of the year. Her Oscar nomination is ABSOLUTELY deserved and had she NOT won 2 years ago she would be a front-runner, i mean she just had major scene after major scene with HIGH drama in almost ALL of them. Although because of her winning so recently, she definetly has 3rd seed locked up in Best Actress.

Frances McDormand also was outstanding and deserves her nomination. She doesn't deserve the win, but she definetly was one of the top 5 supporting actresses of the year and she actually IS supporting in this film (where some of the ones nominated are not *cough Rachel Weisz cough*.

Harrelson also was very good as was Sissy Spacek, who's screentime was a little thin to garner awards attention IMO.

Definetly check this movie out if you haven't already.

    • Surely you are exaggerating-there must have been several mentions of Abbott Communications.
    • I thought she started to deal with medical issues that ultimately caused her death in 1994? Not sure but I thought I had read that she battled illness for quite a few years. Perhaps it started when she decided to leave the show? She was so fantastic. I will say that she and David Forsyth worked so well together; it was the only reason I watched Mayer's five months of storylines.  Thanks for posting all these SFT episodes. Boy, the Nicholson/Mayer time was a mess of some positives but mostly negative. I wonder if Mayer was hired by Ellen Barrett (or if P&G tried to get Labine and Mayer although I doubt the budget would have allowed for both) then she was let go for some reason; and/or if Erwin had months left on his contract with P&G after EON was cancelled and they placed him there before he retired. Losing Sheri then Lisa Peluso was the death knell for this struggling show. Mayer's circus story was inane.  Casting Michelle Joyner big miss; she was awful as was (and always after) John Loprieno. I don't know how that guy stayed employed on soaps for so many years. The positives were Joe Lambie, Lee Godart.  Louann Gideon was lovely but completely miscast as Liza.  Mayer fired four scriptwriters, only keeping Nancy Williams who went on to great work at GL for a decade then Passions.

      Not her getting sad over the Febreze!
    • Today when Anita and Vernon were talking about Bill, they referenced whatever mystery thing he covered up.  This time, with how they worded it, it seemed to be a cover-up about *them*.  So now I wonder if it was something else *in addition* to the Martin secret.
    • She really got to me today. She's doing a great job making Eva a character you just can't help but root for.
