My First Favorite Female Actress
For a long time I've never really had a female actress on my list of favorite actors/actresses. That's not to say that there are no great actresses out there, just that I did not care much for them.
I saw The King's Speech last night and what impressed me the most was Helena Bonham Carter's performance. She did not have too much screen time, and the screen time she did have she did not appear to be as outrageous as some of her past characters, but something about her performance just really impressed me and made me think back to all of her past performances.
She was not glamorously beautiful in the movie and she was not the main character (is she ever?), but right there and then I think she cemented her spot in my list of favorite actresses. She always adds a unique flair to her roles and I think a lot of her performances have an impact on the overall substance of a movie (I have Fight Club and Alice in Wonderland in mind here).
I'm very happy that she won Best Supporting Actress. Her talent deserves to be recognized.
