Amy Adams is definately going places, while modern a nice throw back to the girls way back when. Her role in Enchanted really should have merited a nomination but I think it did something more for her than a win would have; I think that movie may have given her that touch of immortality that everyone who was in THE WIZARD OF OZ, has been granted with. It was funny that she as charming in that little black dress as she was in the ridiculous and perhaps as you would say “Gil Adrian wedding cake dress.”

I am glad Marion won, perhaps more actresses like her (foreign and not from english speaking countries) will be recognized. And it was just plain nice to see someone so very happy to win, the evening was much too full of cool and rehearsed speeches.

I think Tilda won because the vote split between Cate and Ruby, (personally I’m just glad someone slapped Denzel Washington onscreen). Amy Ryan and the little girl from Atonment just weren’t well enough known, but they will be moreso because of the nominations.

This year was just plain lacking in variety as far the big nominations but the actresses were more glamorous than they have been in years. But I expected to see more faces from years past given that it was the 80th anniversary. All they could dig up were Faye Dunaway and Jack.
