I...well, you know the Number One is complicated...<br /><br />It could've been enough if she herself would've placed her name as Number One.<br /><br />IF let's say Meryl Streep got 75% of Number Ones, the Academy has the rule of redistributing those ballots. They don't all go to Meryl! So they save Meryl as a nominee and then they check again THOSE ballots (not all, I think, maybe just a percentage of them. i dunno).<br /><br />So, it was enough for Helen Mirren to have...<br />10 Number Ones let's say<br />and 2000 Number 2 (if number 1 on that ballot was someone who qualified from the 1st round).<br /><br />This happened obviously in Best Supporting Actor and Supp. Actress this year.

Neither were terrible, but you could easily do your laundry as they play in the background. Mirren's nomination staggers me. She was great fun, but I can't believe people put it in a Number One slot (for no one can be nominated without getting that slot). I mean...Abbie Cornish, anyone?Walter L.

It's not that ...Just for some extra mentioning. It's not that I think James McAvoy gives a baaaaad performance in this (or in Last King of Scotland or Atonement), it's just that I personally subjectively don't like him and the type of role he's being cast in over and over againAlex Constantinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09940311552608814201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500439238085712112.post-15326882845716791862010-06-10T05:24:26.851-07:002010-06-10T05:24:26.851-07:00The actresses will probably turn out as:
