Her performance was so wonderful in this movie. Why she wasn't nominated for best supporting actress at the Globes and Golden Satellite Awards? Maybe then she had got two oscar-nods in 2000 - the leading one for "The End of the Affair" and the supporting one for "An Ideal Husband".

She competed against herself. Maybe the voting split between her performances in A Map of the World and An Ideal Husband, so she was cut out of the supp. actress category?!

She's horrifying! (meant as a compliment)
shareHer performance was so believable because she so naturally plays the evil bitch.
I have a hard time recalling a role where she wasn't some kind of bitch.

Totally disagree.
Her dialogue delivery did not do justice to the lines she had. Plus she needed to breathe more life into the character.... or even just do more with her eyes! She had this smile stuck on her face like a terrible mask - whereas a good villain needs to have a more convincing mask - a mask the onlookers do not realise is there.
Catherine Zeta Jones or Laura Linney would've been brilliant in a role like this, where they could be smiling and still be menacing in one second and then charming in the next. Julianne Moore came off as fake & restrained all the time, whereas you really needed someone who looked like they were often simply reveling in the chaos they created around them: you know, someone who delivered a true counterpart to Rupert Everett's performance.
Wonderful performance indeed. She's an amazing actress and so is Cate Blanchett. Both actresses are beautiful and great
