Watch THR’s Hour-Long Interview With 2011’s Award-Worthy Actresses
Every yearduring awards season,The Hollywood Reportersomehow organizes the schedules of basically every single actor, actress, writer anddirectorof the year’s best films to sit down and discuss them. This, in itself, is pretty spectacular. What’s even better is they release the videos of the full conversations so we can watch. For the 2011 Actress' Roundtable, they’ve brought togetherGlenn CloseofAlbert Nobbs,Charlize TheronofYoung Adult,Carey MulliganofShame,Michelle WilliamsofMy Week With MarilynandViola DavisandOctavia SpencerofThe Helpto discuss their own, and each others', performances, all of which have a good shot at multiple award nominations. Check out the video after the jump.
Thanks toThe Hollywood Reporterfor this awesome video.
We also just posted the director’s roundtable,which you can watch hereand theactors here. As for the actresses, if you don’t want to watch the whole thing, you canhead over to this linkand see clips of the above discussion.
Besides Meryl Streep and Rooney Mara not being part of this roundtable, it seems to me thatThe Hollywood Reporterhas a pretty good grasp on this category. I still feel likeThe Helpis going to be one of the most celebrated films of the year and Theron and Williams are becoming perennial contenders. Not to mention their performances are fantastic. I have yet to seeShameorAlbert Nobbsbut, it’s hard to argue with the upcoming Mulligan or legendary Close.
Do you think the five Best Actress nominees will come solely out of this group? Are there were any obvious omissions besides Mara and Streep?
