NO OSCARS-MAYBE IF SHE DID LIKE THERON


I SEE SALMA AND LONELY HEARTS WHERE IGNORED AT THE OSCAR NOMINATIONS, WELL MAYBE IF THE MOVIE HAD BEEN RELEASED IN DEC INSTEAD OF EARLY IN THE YEAR, WHO'S STUPID IDEA WAS THAT? AND MAYBE IF SHE DID LIKE CHARLIZE THERON DID IN MONSTER,WENT OUT TO LOOK MORE LIKE MARTHA BECK, MAYBE SHE WOULD HAVE GOT A NOMINATION, MAYBE CAMRYN MANHEIM SHOULD HAVE PLAYED THE PART. THERE'S ALWAYS THE ALMA AWARDS

I agree that Salma was the only flaw in the movie. She isn't convincing playing the role of Martha.

If anyone in this film, Jared Leto was the one who deserved an Oscar. The scene where he shoots Dolphine, and the scene where he gets pulled to the electric chair were breathtaking. James Gandolfini and John Travolta were both really good, and Salma Hayek was the least convincing.

I see that you have no grasp of grammar.

You can in no way compare Salma Hayek's performance in Lonely Hearts to Charlize Theron's in Monster.

In Monster, Charlize Theron not only looks like the character she is playing, but she also becomes her through all of the excellent nuances of her performance - she picks up on Aileen's characteristics and eccentricites, as well as the basics such as her voice and the way she walks - after studying her behaviour.

In Lonely Hearts, Salma Hayek imitates any other femme fatale from classic film noirs, and while I think she was very good in the role, she was not Oscar worthy in any way.

Oh and by the way, "where" is used when you are speaking of a place or something related to a place, i.e. 'Where is London?', 'Where are my keys?', etc. You should have used "were".

That is all.

Reply to the OP! I take it he/she's the one you want to complain to. By the way, you should probably read up on the proper use of dash, so as not to embarass yourself when criticizing someone else's grammar. It's used for dramatic pause, and not like a colon.

Good Day...
