I find that alot of attractive actresses want to get a 'look at me I'm so ugly and deep' movie under their belts in hopes that wearing no makeup and putting on 'uglifying' prothsetics will get them an Oscar. Like Charlize Theron in Monster. I found this movie pretty void of a story with any depth. Jennifer Aniston just wanted to get one movie in where she was ugly and mean. The movie was boring. She didn't get an Oscar for this did she? I hope not. I feel sorry for the actress that played her maid. That's the only part I ever see her in and she is always super nice and super Catholic.

I was delighted when she was snubbed. It was the biggest Oscar baiting job I've ever seen. Like she was screaming out "Nominate Me Please"!

Never heard of it, and never seen any Rachel Anisten film, but what good points you both make.

Kidman also tried the prosthetic makeup works and received some academy nods for that, but didn't see that one, either.

Trouble is, they don't make em nearly as well as they used to do back when those really hard-working professional like B Davis or Ginger Rogers were starring in things like Queen Elizabeth I or "In Person."

Age progression makeup also works a lot better during the Classic era rather than today because not only did they present stars like Martha Scott or Dorothy Lamour as characters ranging from youth to a certain age, in films such as "Cheers for Miss Bishop" or "Road to Utopia," but, you already know what comes next: Miss Scott and Miss Lamour know how to fit into character and act the parts very professionally.

And it goes without saying that Claudette Colbert is going to be perfect for "Remember the Day," which she well proves.

In recent years, you rarely see that. You know that Vicki Lawrence is going to do a great job as Miss Harper, but who else has the professional know-how these days to do things correctly out in Hollywood.

Barbara Hershey does a fantastic job of things, such a refreshing change of pace for today's pictures, in the David Hercule Poirot adaptation of "Murder on the Orient Express." Of course, that wasn't filmed in Hollywood, but on location in the former Yugoslavia.

So, you have actresses scurrying for prosthetic roles, and a few doing characters who age progressively, and also those who undergo body-mutation makeovers, such as Stockard Channing in "The Girl Most Likely to" whereas she should have stuck with her youth appeal in films like "Grease."
