Keira, you will get yours.

So once again the Globes have been the only precursors to have chimed in to say "We loved your performance Keira!". Just like they did two years ago with "Pride and Prejudice". That did translate into Oscar love, but can "Atonement"?

Doubtful, which means I have to give a big overhaul to my charts....bugger!!! S.A.G. passed over the "Prejudice" performance, but the BFCA did not, and they have done so this year.......the bastards.

This awards race is shaping up to be very very boring, considering all my favourites are struggling to get nominations. Even my little Saoirse is looking to be in trouble. Why has "Atonement" not caught on like it should have?

Could it be that American audiences see this as being too foreign? Sure it is British, but not a comedy, not a Bond film, and not a Bio Pic of the famous so therefore it may as well be a 9 hour documentary on ants.

So dear Keira....perhaps next year you will impress with "The Duchess" (not the Bio Pic of a certain over rated and undertalented member of The Black Eyed Peas - Seriously...the girl looks like syphilis on a stick)

The film is a chronicle of the life of 18th century aristocrat Georgiana, duchess of Devonshire, an ancestor of Princess Diana who was alternately celebrated and reviled for her extravagant political and personal lives. Let's hope Ms. Knightly takes what she has learned from Joe Wright and translates into a blockbuster performance.

There is The Trailer

I kept thinking of "Vogue" after they announce her as a fashion icon.
Happy new year to you as well!
