The Academy Awards and Me. As Rachel Cameron in RACHEL, RACHEL (1968). Joanne Woodward received her second Oscar nomination playing Rachel Cameron, a 35-year-old spinster schoolteacher, who feels that her life is meaningless. Haunted by memories of her childhood and her mortician father, Rachel spends each frustrating day taking care of her mother and working with the schoolchildren. The character of Rachel Cameron is an odd one. She still sleeps in her child bed, and still lives. Well-directed by Paul N...

The Academy Awards and Me. As Nina Sayers in BLACK SWAN (2010). He picked me, mommy! I'm the new swan queen! Joy, disappointment, anger, fear, determination, and pleasure. Well, she. Is really captivating, and convincing. From the naïve and Fragile young woman, Natalie Portman turns herself into this seductive and confident Nina, and manages to portray an incredibly convincing transformation. She gives a very tortured and damaged performance and shows rightly the background and the discipline of ballet.
