Congratulations !
Rosamund Pike should win an Oscar for "Gone Girl", but as we all know, it`s Julianne Moore who is goin to win. Rosamund Pike gave one of the best performance in the history of movies.
Julianne will win, because of that stupid overdue affect. I have not seen "Still Alice", but I will see it next year.
Hopefully Rosamund will get a Golden Globe or something. Strong, interesting female or male characters are hard to find in movies these days. Seems to be all about speciall effects or 3D, but In my mind Rosamund Pike is the true winner.
Then again, Academy members ignored these also:
1.Kathleen Turner in "Body Heat" and "Crimes Of Passion", should have won both times, but they did not even nominated her !
2.Linda Fiorentino in "The Last Seduction", not nominated because her movie was shown first in television. Stupid rules
3.Rena Owen in "Once Were Warriors", too heavy for academy members. They rather watch some B.Streisand movie...Yeah right...
4.Juliette Binioche in "Three Colours:Blue","Les Amants Du Pont-Neuf" and "Damage",academy members can`t even see when somebody is really acting unless your name is M.Streep(puking...)
5.Jeanne Moreau in ""Ascenseur Pour l'échafaud" and "La Baie Des Anges", did somebody think they would understand french?....NO...!
6.Isabelle Huppert in ""La Cérémonie" and "La Pianiste". See those two movies and talk to me about acting...!
6. Sandrine Bonnaire in "Sans Toit Ni loi", raw and realistic without any "Hollywood ending"
Just to mention few...
Rosamund Pike, your performance will be talk about in the years to come...THANK YOU !!!!
