Mister Tee wrote:Mister Tee wrote:...if Michele Williams joins Bening and Portman, we'll have three best actress nominees who received on-screen oral pleasure.
This came true, and, killer stat: all three actors who provided the pleasure -- Julianne Moore, Mila Kunis and Ryan Gosling -- found themselves without nominations.
So would that make Chloe Sevigny and Hilary Swank the only oral sex pair (both the giver and receiver) to both be nominated?

Per Wikipedia:MovieWes wrote:And how do you know anything about Hailee Steinfeld's lineage Irvin?anonymous wrote:Well, Hailee Steinfeld is actually 1/8 African American (and 1/4 Filipino!).FilmFan720 wrote:The first year since 2000 without an African-American acting nomination (pretty astonishing after all those years of accused Academy racism)
"Steinfeld was born in Tarzana, Los Angeles, the daughter of Cheri, an interior designer, and Peter Steinfeld, a personal fitness trainer. She has an older brother, Griffin,and her uncle is fitness trainer Jake Steinfeld. Her father is Jewish and her mother is of Filipino, African-American and European-American descent."
Somebody should tell that to Laurence O'Donnell, who is fast becoming as much of a windbag on the left as the Fox news idiots are on the right. For no good reason, his opened his show leading up to Obama's Sate of the Union address last night with the line "on the day that the Oscars did not nominate any African-Americans" or some such nonsense, saying the last time that happened Bill Clinton was in the White House. What that had to do with the State of the Union I don't know. He never followed up on the comment.

- Third consecutive year in which two actresses from the same film have been nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category and the seventh time in the past 11 years.
- Not sure if this is of note at all, but all five Best Actress nominees play contemporary, fictional characters in their respective films.
