The Oscars are Tomorrow
The Oscars are tomorrow. Some years I'm really up on all the best and some of the worst movies. This year, I haven't seen as many as usual, so I don't have many opinions. But here is the one strong opinion that I DO have. There is an actress missing from the nominees list.I absolutely LOVED the movie Memoirs of a Geisha. LOVED. I went to the movie and loved it so much that I got the book on CD and am just about finished listening to it. I know that the movie didn't do the book justice, but the imagery presented in the movie is something that merely adds to the wonderfulness of the book. (Yes, I just made up a word!) Now I'm going to buy a hardcover copy of the book on Amazon.com and read it for myself. Yup - I love the story!
Anyway, there is a character in the story whose personality fills every ounce of the story whenever she's around. And the actress who played Hatsumomo did an exceptional job. Her name is Gong Li (or Li Gong ... I find it both ways online... we Westerners don't do justice to understanding Asian names, do we?) Anyway - she did a fabulous job in the role of the beautiful but evil Hatsumomo, and she should be nominated AND receive the Oscar for best supporting actress for that role.
And that, my friends, is Lou Ann's take on the Oscars!
