Oscar Nominations 2011

Hooray for Natalie 'Black Swan' Portman for her Oscar nomination for Best Actress of 2011! I'm betting on her and I hope she wins. I watched her movie, Black Swan, just the other night and indeed she gave her best for the said movie. Mila Kunis and Barbra Hershey were good, too, however, they were both not nominated for the Best Supporting Actress category. Even the short appearance of Winona Ryder was quite noticeable... The film is also nominated for Best Picture and Best Director.

I wish Natalie the best and good luck to other nominees, too. Looking forward for Academy Awards Night and hope my bets wins ;-)

Natalie Portman is Engaged and Expecting

While some Hollywood couples divorced, some are headed to marriageville. Natalie Portman and and her fiance are currently engaged and report says that the latter is on her family way.

Portman met her future husband, Benjamin Millipied, while filming her movie The Black Swan. He was Portman's ballet dance choreographer in the said movie where they began dating.

Portman's acting was first noticed at the movie, Leon (The Professional) where she was Leon's young protege. Her performance was more noticeable in V for Vendetta, Starwars where she played Queen Amidala, The Other Boleyn Girl and her performance in The Black Swan was predicted to earn an Oscar nod. Portman was one of my favorite actresses in Hollywood. She's a natural and her acting has depthness. She's even tagged as the young Jodie Foster and I so I agree with it. Apart from acting, she's a Harvard graduate. She lie lowed for a while in showbiz to finish her studies and that's what makes her more admirable. I wish Natalie the best in her future endeavor.

Natalie Portman as the Black Swan

One of the young actresses that I really admire these days is Natalie Portman. For me, she's brilliant, so, it's no question why she is being tagged today as the future Jodie Foster as her acting has substance and not just Hollywood's some pretty faces. I first saw her as the young sweeper or protege of Leon the professional. At that age, she was already noticed by the film critics and people for her fine performance. I've seen her several movies as she grew up like Starwars, where she played as Queen Amidala. She even had her hair shaved in V for Vendetta because she wanted to internalize and be believable for the role that she played. Her acting was very convincing in The Other Boleyn Girl even though I hate the outcome of that movie. Her latest film that I am looking forward to watch is the Black Swan where she portray the role of a ballerina. Knowing Portman, she love to play a role that is unique. I guess her character in here is a little bit rebellious... well, that's as far as I know. One thing is for sure, I'm gonna watch her show. (click the picture for image source)
