“For telling the truth about the interchangeability of power and sex.”<\/em><\/p>\n
“For portraying a woman who lost 17 children, lives in a permanent state of depression, but never loses control of her life. An inspiration to us all.”<\/em><\/p>\n
“Every once in a while, starting with Spencer Tracy in DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE (1941), the Academy gives the Best Actor Oscar to what is essentially a disguise\u2014Dustin Hoffman in RAIN MAN, Gary Oldman in DARKEST HOUR. If that’s the case this year, the best disguise award should go to Christian Bale in VICE. But if they want to give it for actual acting, I suggest Viggo Mortensen in GREEN BOOK.”<\/em><\/p>\n
“Critics and buffs are constantly clamoring for innovative writing. I can’t think of a screenplay more original than this adaptation.”<\/em><\/p>\n
“For playing a woman who knows what she wants but not the price she will have to pay.”<\/em> <\/p>\n
“For portraying a real life artist who, if he didn’t exist, should have just the way Ali acted him.”<\/em><\/p>\n
“For a brilliant crosscut of sex and power.”<\/em><\/p>\n
“For sharp-toothed satire of the perversity of power.”<\/em><\/p>\n
“A wonderful story, brilliantly told. I keep replaying its scenes in my head and the image of the boy carrying the baby seems indelible.”<\/em><\/p>\n
