Actually I was thrilled Mirren was finally nominated for her first Oscar. And once I'd seen the film I wondered what was so great about her performance for her to have been nominated for this.Damien wrote:She was so subdued I didn't even remember she was in Madness.

Yes she was VERY subdued.

I thought they were both flamboyant but it's been a long time since I saw it.Reza wrote:I recall her being rather subdued in Madness of King George.

Maybe it was that Hawthorne was flamboyant enough for both of them.

I voted for Mirren even though she has no chance of winning.
