Michelle might be okay in Wendy & Lucy but she was truly terrible in Deception and I'm Not There. She seems to only be good at one type of role. Sean Penn, on the other hand, can do all types of roles and totally deserves his nomination.

Congrats to all! "Wendy & Lucy" is amazing and Michelle is a revelation in it. I also hope "Milk" sweeps the Oscars and "Let the Right One In" finally gets the recognition it deserves. Post new comment |
