October 10, 20177 yr Author WHAT A LEGEND! I absolutely love her (personality wise & as an actress) :wub: Not seen all of these but this is how I'd rank the ones I have seen: 1 Notes on a Scandal 2 Iris 3 Philomena 4 Chocolat 5 Mrs Henderson Presents I just loved the scheming character she played in NOAS and feel like it was one of her most multi-layered performances (you really sympathise with her at times too despite being an utter bitch) and very different to her usual sort of roles which I admire about it a lot too. Iris and Philomena are completely heart-breaking in similar sorts of ways and had me almost in tears numerous times :cry: The other two are nice enough performances but not exactly her best work, more of a filler nominee in those years... I've heard she's brilliant in Mrs Brown so I'd love to see that at some point too. It's a bit OTT how awarded she is by the BAFTAs though, she had almost nothing to do in "A Room with a View" so can't believe she won for that :lol: She didn't have much to do in "My Week with Marilyn" too but at least they only nominated her that year and didn't give her the actual win. I absolutely loved her in Victoria & Abdul too so I'm hoping she can add to her (already impressive) tally this year :heart:
