[@gerbendekker3273]

There are horrors out there with Oscar noms, you can always hope :) I think though this movie is too contemporary for the Oscars which generally favor more traditional films. BAFTA and especially Golden Globes may look far more kindly on this film though. She's given people plenty to talk, think, and feel about with her appearance in this movie for years into the future, which is far more than the same but distinctly momentary effect a(n accompanying) win of any kind would accomplish.

[@kyraspikes7542]
