Helena Bonham Carter should have got the Oscar for best actress for her role in this wonderful film about love. I love the scene when she writes to Merton and says remember I love you more. It filled with emotion.

Wasn't she amazing?
shareWho says the academy awards has much to do with awarding the best in movies? Its more about politics and economics.
shareI don't see why. She only has one expression.
shareHelena Bonham Carter is an amazing actress. I am appalled that she did not win the Academy Award for her performance in "The Wings of the Dove", as she was brilliant!
shareYeah, I also don't agree. I don't think she should have won. I like her but that year was just really weak for female performances, including hers.
shareI respectfully disagree. Helena Bonham Carter's performance made me truly sypmathize with her character...She did an amazing job of portraying the human emotions that lead Kate to make the choices she did.
I cannot begin to fathom how her performance was not recognized as the best of the year. It's all politics, I suppose...
I have just finished watching Wings of the Dove and I am still shivering. Helena Bonham Carter's performance of decadence, love and fear is just heart breaking
shareShe would have been my second choice. Helen Hunt was just absolutely perfect in As Good as It Gets, full of layers and emotion.

The winner was Frances McDormand for Fargo not Helen Hunt

Frances McDormand won the year before. Helena Bonham Carter was nominated alongside Judi Dench, Julie Christie, Kate Winslet, and Helen Hunt, at the 70th Academy Awards.
I just re-watched "The Wings of the Dove", and Helena was robbed of the Oscar!
I love the scene when she writes to Merton and says remember I love you more. It filled with emotion.
I agree completely, it would have been one of the most deserving Oscar wins. Such a breathtaking performance.
shareI agree for the most part but found that the last scene in the bedroom, the acting of both HBC and LR was the most wooden I have seen for years!! Its like they just wanted to get filming over and done with and the characters seemed to be tolerating each other ...

Carter’s gorgeous face is a telling kaleidoscope of emotions. She can register more with her eyes than most actors can with a whole script. In the film's penultimate scene stark naked in bed with Merton her whole body reflects the despair of Kate’s plots gone wrong. Now she has what she wanted, Merton and the fortune, which Millie has left to him. But Millie has left something else as well...the enfolding wings of the dove smothering Kate’s and Merton’s love into extinction shown in the paralysis of their lovemaking. Carter should have had the Oscar for that scene alone.
