Fans of my site will be happy to know that Oscar-watching will continue. 'round about July 1st the Halfway Mark Oscar updates will happen. Though I must say that I don't have that much confidence that we've seen any significant contenders yet with the possible exceptions of
Joan Allen if the campaign is handled well in terms of revival of
The Upside of Anger and
Russell Crowe if he can overcome his sociopathic bully tendencies and the middling box office for
Cinderella Man.
Meanwhile fans of the Best Actress races in general should check out 80s superstar diva
Glenn Close in her new film
The Heights. Fans should do this immediately. It's not a great film but it is involving, the characters are well drawn and you may marvel again, watching it, at how Hollywood could have possibly ever lost interest in Ms. Close.
