An anniversary interview with Michelle

Getting nominated on his anniversary has got to be a good omen? Even if far too late.... :-\

Marge_Innavera:
For me, as for so many Heath and Brokeback fans, nothing can make up for Heath being snubbed when the Academy could have honored his greatest acting achievement.  But I was very, very impressed with what he did in TDK, and will be rooting for him to win.

louisev:
The Golden Globe was great, the Oscar nod is excellent (an Oscar would be better).  If he does get the Oscar for the Dark Knight, as far as I am concerned it's the Oscar for Brokeback.

What is more important is whether Matilda gets any of the residuals from the biggest box office smash of 2008.

That's often what happens with the Oscars, anyway.  Acting Oscars tend to be a cumulative, "body-of-work" awards.  (Who seriously thinks "Training Day" was Denzel Washington's best performance?)  That's part of the reason PSH won for Capote; he had such a long charater-acting track record.  (Everyone thought there was plenty of time for Heath to get his just reward.)

That's how I see it, too, Laura.  At least this year PSH will be less likely to get the award, I think, because he got his "body of work" award in 2006.  All the emotional cards are now in the hand of the Joker.  ;)
