I like her when she doesn't try to be a serious actress. When she tries to act like one, I feel like I'm gonna ralph. She was entertaining in Erin Brockovich, I thought, but not Oscar worthy. They robbed Ellen Burstyn that year. -_-

Blanchett would have kicked ass. I loved Portman, but Maggie Gyllenhall played her role in one of the stage productions and I've always wondered how she would have done in the movie. One of the biggest problems I had with the movie was the transition from when Jude Law and Natalie Portman meet to the photo shoot with Mr. Ed. His character completely changed instantly and it just didn't translate well, in my opinion. Went from being a nice guy to a total prick. I didn't like they how they changed the ending, either, but this is Hollywood and they have to have a happy one.
