I have to admit, I think RZ was great in Bridget Jones. That sort of blithely cluelessness worked in that movie.
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

Yeah, she worked my last nerve in Cuba Gooding Jr. Dances Around Naked and Shouts Catchphrases While Tom Cruise Looks On Hungrily, but I actually thought she was the best thing about the Bridget Jones movies. Which is not an insignificant compliment when those movies featured Jim Broadbent, Colin Firth, and Shirely Henderson.

Because books.
I thought RZ was lovely in Jerry Macguire -- very soft and natural and pretty. I don't know what happened after that.
I honestly have no beef with her acting, and I liked her very much in Chicago and Nurse Betty and Bridget Jones, but she looks so hard and weird and kind of bitter now. And, you know, squinty.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
My take on RZ is she's a pleasant actress, I like a lot of her films. She's not a beauty, but she's cute. I just wish she stopped trying to do glamorous because I don't think it suits her. I wish she'd stick to charming and cute.
Oy. Such a long work day for me. So wanting to embrace my inner lazy.

Skipping lots and lots (oh, I wish I didn't skip the dresses-talk. That's my favorite part of any ceremony award, reading the Buffistas dresses-talk), to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Gadget_Girl's birthday.
Happy birthday! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

I can't BELIEVE you're still talking about the Oscars!
Anyway, it would take a lot of lousy acting to reverse my fondness for RZ because I first encountered her in The Whole Wide World which is SUCH an excellent movie.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I like both Renee Zellwegger and Diane Weist.
And Colin Firth, in case anyone was wondering.
