I am so so elated by actress Sally Hawkins' Oscar win. I think I cry more than you do! :) And so so pleased for The Shape of Water. It enlists every movie trope one can imagine. Then makes it real. That said: everyone should see Mike Leigh's Happy-Go-Lucky with Sally Hawkins. How Mr.Leigh makes the real real without a single movie trope (well…he does use a little music..;) is why he is a genius also.
Phantom Thread's amazing (she is! and I would argue the whole night that without her even with that amazingly handsome chap opposite her it just would not be the great movie that it is) Vicky Krieps was working to pay her bills in Europe (her words;) but there was Lesley Manville at the Oscars. Back onstage in London tomorrow Tuesday night in Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night. She plays alongside some guy Jeremy Irons..who he;) Someone is going to film that for future generations aren't they!
I want to hide under the sheets and feel very humbled. And I hate that word 'cause it is so often used so cringe make-ingly. In the case of Mike Leigh actors it is the only true quality. And I imagine the same with Guillermo del Toro actors as well.
We know what we are trying to forget.
