AND THE WINNER IS:
JULIANNE MOORE AS ALICE HOWARD IN “STILL ALICE”
This is the sixth win and eleventh nomination for Julianne Moore having previously won individually and with the ensemble of Boogie Nights (1997), Far From Heaven (2002) and with the ensembles of The Hours (2002), I’m Not There (2007) and The Kids Are All Right (2010). She was also nominated for Magnolia (1999), A Single Man (2009) and with the ensembles of The Big Lebowski (1998) and Magnolia,
Julianne Moore among this list of great actresses is just on another level in terms of talent yet again giving an incredible performance as Alice Howard in Still Alice. Moore makes the material and film of Still Alice much more effecting then it has any right to be because usually these type of stories can come off quite emotionally manipulative and tright but somehow Moore makes the film quite good through her towering performance. She owns this screen for most of the film giving quite a unique performance for the actress in playing each moment except a few quite subtle calling back to her winning performance in Safe nearly 20 years ago. It can never go without saying how much different colours Moore brings to all of her performances and with Still Alice it cannot be helped but praising this performance to the heavens and the fact that after years and years of brillIant work that her chance to finally get reconized by the category with a career award for a deserving performance will be one of the most satisfying moments in recent oscar history.
