Natalie Portman 2011 Golden Globes winnerBest Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture (Drama) for her role in Black Swan
“The win by Portman for her role as a ballerina coming unhinged amid a production of "Swan Lake" sets her up for a two-woman showdown for best actress at the Feb, 27 Oscars with Annette Bening, who won for her role as a stern lesbian mom in "The Kids Are All Right," which also won for best musical or comedy film.
It's familiar territory for Bening. She won the same prize at the Globes 11 years ago for "American Beauty" and went in as the best-actress favorite at the Oscars, where she lost to Globe dramatic actress winner Hilary Swank for "Boys Don't Cry."
Portman thanked the film's choreographer, her fiancé Benjamin Millepied, with whom she's expecting a child. He also appears in the movie, and his character doesn't want to sleep with hers. "He's the best actor! It's not true, he totally wants to sleep with me," Portman said, giggling.”
Black Swan box office: domestic Total as of Jan. 16, 2011: $72,993,000 (Estimate)
Between Natalie and Annette, it's going to be a toss up!
ReplyDeleteI hope Ms. Portman wins 'best actress'... give Black Swan some more lime light :)
ReplyDeleteThey're promoting the Black Swan over here in the UK - does look tempting to see on the big screen (as long as no one in the audience starts eating/rustling a packet of potato chips or throwing popcorn on my head - if that happened I would make my own psychological thriller :D )
