Did Salma deserve her Oscar nomination??

Well, I for one was totally transformed to the early 1900's and felt like I experienced some of Frida and Diego lives. I have read lots of books on Frida and articles and she was very complicated, thus very desirable.

I love Salma Hayek and I did not see her, I saw Frida....so to answer your post, undoubtably Salma deserved to be nominated, no less have won. She was robbed. But I'm being a hater now because I truly loved the film and think Julie Taymor and the rest of the cast and crew did a wonderful job and honored Frida beautifully and realistically.

I digress, speaking of feeling robbed...I think that that is all that the people who state what you said they said are mirroring how I feel. We all love what we love, right?

I just love this website and thank you for starting a new post....

No one could have portrayed FRIDA better than Salma Hayek, Magnificent, Superb, Entertaining, Beautiful to watch, Well made. Artistic. She definetly deseved to be nominated.

salma was amazing in this film! the film is GREAT!

Of course Salma deserved her nomination for Frida. Her performance here blew me away.

yes, she deserved it.

Salma Hayek's performance was brilliantly and precisely measured. She obviously cooked a computer program for meshing 2 distinctly gifted artists then threw them with the data into a 2 becomes 1 processor and Salma lost herself in the portrayal of Kahlo. The other sucess ingredients was Hayek's dogged determination to interview directors and she said the moment Julie Taymor and music score king Eliot Goldenthal she was so in a creative zone and the entire cast worked with over-hubris and the visual embellishments such as the final scene after the trolley was smashed we see Frida lying down coverred with blood and gold-like confetti this looks like a surrealistic painting. In the hospital she sees the docs as skeletal puppets with unintelligible mumbling. Salma's singing is so raw and passionate as she drinks herself into oblivion lamenting her grievous loss of Diego. She tells him of the two traumatic life altering tragedys that became her cross to bare (1)the trolley disaster and (2)and her failed marriage to Diego she then tells him that loving him was far worse than the trolley Taymor creatively displayed their trip to Europe or the us? With a lot of artistic expression which enables them to stay in budget.Salma fought for this role of a fiercely button pushing female in a time where femmes werent given permission to talk. She dresses in mens suits which was before Dietrich was perfecting her image. Im sure this reply is disjointed and tedious and all over the damn map. I'm very sorry for this.Was Kahlos work pre Salvador Dali?

She certainly deserved her nomination.She was brilliant in Frida.I dare say she should've won.
