[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have pulled for Viola Davis more if I didn't find the movie to be such a let down to the book.  So many important facts and situations were left out and it made the movie less powerful.

I saw "The Iron Lady" on Saturday and found Streep to have played MT so well.  It was a great movie and I enjoyed it much more than the Help.  I wasn't surprised by Streep's win but I think it could have gone either way.

I do think Octavia did beautifully with her part in the help and was true to the character of the book.  Of course some of that was still left out but she was able to pull it together and play the character beautifully.[/quote] I agree. I saw the movie in the theater and loved it but didn't get around to reading the book until a few weeks ago. I LOVED the book and went back to watch the movie again on DVD and the movie really fell flat for me the second time around after realizing how much was left out and/or changed. I guess that's normal for books turned to movies though. For best supporting actress I loved the two from The Help and the lady from Bridesmaids and was actually hoping slightly more that the Bridesmaids actress would win.

Back to the topic...I've always thought M.S. seemed really nice too and wondered if it was real. Seems real...seems like it would be hard to keep her real personality a secret over this many years and such a long career. Someone would have spilled a salacious story to the rags by now if she weren't actually a nice person. [/quote]
