In stumping for Oscars, studios are increasingly proposing as candidates for best-supporting-actor or -actress nominations performers who in some cases are on screen longer than those proposed for the best-actor or -actress nods, the Wall Street Journal observed today (Friday). The newspaper noted, for example, that although Jennifer Connelly is up for best supporting actress for her performance in A Beautiful Mind, she's actually on screen as much as Sissy Spacek, who's up for best actress for her performance in In the Bedroom. Best-supporting-actor nominee Ethan Hawke is actually on screen 13 minutes longer than best-actor nominee Denzel Washington in the same movie, Training Day. And Jim Broadbent is onscreen only two minutes less than Judi Dench in Iris. Asked about the Hawke-Washington anomaly, Warner Bros. marketing chief Dawn Taubin told the Journal: "I think that Ethan's character is more reactive to Denzel's character." However, the newspaper raises the question of whether it is fair to pit an actor who has only a few minutes on screen with another who's on screen throughout the film. The WSJ also noted that Jennifer Connelly is up for a best actress award at this Sunday's Screen Actors Guild Awards -- something the studio attributes to "a clerical error."

Remember "My cousin Vinnie"? Marisa Tomei won an Oscar as supporting actress, but there wasn't any other female role in the movie.
Point??? reply

So what, now they're supposed to qualify performers based on number of minutes onscreen? That's stupid. Different roles and different stories define whether or not a character is supporting or a lead. You can't cookie-cutter it across the board. Sounds like some stat guys at the WSJ were bored one afternoon....

WHY WERE MY POSTS EDITED FROM "THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE!?
My posts were taken out, but the ones kept in were the profanity laced rants from a random shemp and Jet Li talking about children. Dtheatre has made it very clear which posters they want contributing to this site, and which they do not.

Well, since this rant has absolutely nothing to do with the story subject, get ready to see this one removed as well.

I understand your fustrations. But it's one hell of a job trying to moderate these comment boards. I try not to delete anything at a top a thread because we loose all the ones under it.. some times (unfortunately) I have to and we loose some good comments.
If you're going to be on topic don't respond to to Jet Li or some other ass clown's post start your own thread. If you do I can't erase their comments and if I do I take out many other good comments.
But since you're "done with this site" we'll miss you.
