'Trash'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

In her defense, she's 19 and completely new to the movie business. But still.
Yeah, I really think the important context here is that this was going to be her first awards show. Ever. After a completely unexpected rise to a starring role in a major motion picture. I'd be disappointed in her case too. Especially since, sadly, I doubt she'll be getting too many starring roles in the future, as Tracy Turnblad is a rather intentionally unlikely star character.
She could always continue following in Ricki Lake's footsteps with a Sugarbaby revival...
Also, while she's likely to get a nom for a Golden Globe because they have a musical/comedy category, there's no way she'll get a nom for an Oscar. Probably ever. Kind of a one shot deal for her career.
Yeah, it really is too bad for her.
Ok, I guess I was overreacting. Plus, apparently I've not been keeping up on movies.
Maybe it's lack of sleep, but somehow that reminds me of 300.
I need to go back and watch Firefly again. I'd forgotten how awesome Zoe is.
