OUAT could have been so much better if they had decent writers, proper actors for Snow, Charming and Henry, CGI from this decade and more links to the real world.
And don't even get me started on Wonderland.
I still love watching it though
as do BILLIONS of people in over 134 countries across the globe. It's an everlasting cultural phenomenon that will stand the test of time, despite its flaws.
Good god, Marion just blew me away, slayed my life and gave me several heart attacks. Nicole, thoughts?
I haven't been following this movie -- was it pushed back to 2014?
Interesting review from Variety: This rich, beautifully rendered film boasts an arrestingly soulful performance from Marion Cotillard as a Polish nurse-turned-prostitute for whom the symbolic promise of Ellis Island presents only hardship. Her travails unfold at a pace that will frustrate today’s attention-deficit audiences, limiting this Weinstein Co. acquisition’s popular prospects. Give it 20 years, however, and “The Immigrant” is sure to hold up far better than its modish competition, an ambitious yet imperfect cinematic classic with the heft and heart of great literature.
Didn't you say that last year only for her to be not even nominated?
Her performance commanded at least a nom, but it is what it is. Critics were as surprised as me when they snubbed her. I blame that 106 year old french hag they nominated instead. This year it's different. Sandra Bullock better glue her wig, cause GODRION's gonna come and SNATCH IT!

November. Finally! It's been premiered on Cannes too, but failed to make much impact there, unlike R&B. I suppose that's a good thing, because that way her Oscar buzz will be fresh and just in time when the Award season kicks off and she can get all the recognition that is due for her this time around.
