I'm happy she won, like I'm happy Mr. Scorsese won. I was glad he was finally recognized but when I think back on it, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Scorsese won for the Departed, which on rewatching isn't that great. Ms. Winslett won for The Reader. A good performance? As always is the case with Ms. Winslett but not the best and not even one of her best. This should have been the year of Ms. Leo.
I thought it was a great performance. I truly did. It was my #4 of the year, after all. It was an extremely difficult role to play and I thought she was perfect. It's not a "Scent of the Woman" situation. It's not a Makeup Oscar. (If she'd won for, say, "The Life of David Gale", that would have been a Makeup Oscar.)
But even if I didn't think any of that was true, I still wouldn't care. I'm sooooo happy for her.
