I don't remember if it was here or in meatspace, but there was conjecture that she did know, and that's what she was going to tell the mistress, and basically why she killed herself.
Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I'm certain she DID know. That her questioning was simply a way of trying to get him to acknowledge both the truth and her suffering. When that acknowledgment was not proffered...
I think that at that point in the story, Caine's character was in on the plan. He had no air of suspicion as to why this random guy would be walking into a privately-owned theater in the dead of night. He didn't like what Angiers had done, and helped Fallon to get revenge.
That being said, I don't think he knew the whole time. Probably didn't find out until Angiers's plot was uncovered.
I'm amused by the imdb's daily poll today (you have to register to vote)
Oscar noms are out: [link]
No major surprises there. I don't have big beef with the noms, although I wish Children of Men had received more nominations. (Editing, Cinematography and Adapted Screenplay are substantial awards, but I'd have liked Cuaron score a directing nom. Ah, well.) Plus, I have yet to see half the films nominated.
Yay, Little Miss Sunshine!
Edie Murphy is in, Jennifer Hudson is out.
An Inconvient Truth has a... Best Song nomination? Wha? Also, Al Gore can now introduce himself as "Al Gore, from the Oscar-nominated film, An Inconvenient Truth."

Huh. Maybe there was a wacky Al-does-Karaoke scene that I overlooked in the DVD extras.
Edie Murphy is in, Jennifer Hudson is out.
Hudson got the best supporting actress nomination according to that link.
To give Babel a directing nom and not Children of Men is just wrong on EVERY FREAKING LEVEL IMAGINABLE.
And Borat up for Best Adapted Screenplay just makes my eyes roll.
Hudson got the best supporting actress nomination according to that link.
Huh. So she did. Clearly I need to drink more coffee.
I enjoyed Dreamgirls OK, but I didn't think it was nomination-worthy for the big categories. It was glitzy and overdone and shallow, although the song numbers were fun. Murphy was clearly the best thing about the film, and Hudson was fun to watch, but Best Supporting Actress? Hmmm.

I thought it was leagues better than Chicago, so I assumed it would get nominated. (But Babel seems to be this year's Crash, picking up nominations I assumed would go to movies that didn't completely suck.)
I didn't realize how many original songs it had, though -- I thought "Listen" was the only new one. I want Inconvenient Truth to win that category, just because.
