Like everyone else on this crummy Earth, we’re fans of Natalie Portman. She’s made some good films and, when she’s been in not-so-good films, she still looks just like Natalie Portman which is better looking than, say, you. And you. And everyone stood behind you ’til the horizon.
Anyway, it seems that her latest role, in Black Swan, is almost certainly going to win her an Oscar. Yep. It’s all sewn up. Everyone who has seen the new flick at the Venice Film Festival came out of the show, muttering about how wonderful her performance is.
And quite possibly, trying to hide their erections from the lesbian scenes with Mila Kunis which feature.
Words like ‘astounding’ and ‘best performance ever’ have been bandied about which is very nice for Portman. The best we could do, when we wrote about the film was that the Oscars might “introduce a brand new category ? for Loveliest Princess In A Lovely Pretty Dress ? just so she can win something.”
Then again, we’re idiots.
Natalie Portman isn’t perfect though as she’s shown a weakness for hopeless RSC thesp, Kenneth Branagh. Apparently, she only agreed to take part in his big budget adaptation of the comic, ‘Thor’ after hearing that Branagh was directing.
She explains:
“It was sort of actually not something I was dying to do. Not ‘Thor’ in particular but a big movie. When I heard Ken was doing it, I said, ‘Wow that is a daring and interesting idea.’
“Then I met Ken and he was someone I was extremely interested to get to spend three months with. It was probably the first, or one of the first times that my expectations were actually exceeded.”
‘Thor’ is due for release in May 2011 and, even if it’s rubbish, you can still fawn over Natalie Portman’s face… unless of course, she’s a hideous CGI character and is only providing the voice.
We suppose that we could easily find out but there’s an opened yoghurt in the fridge which goes off today and that’s taking all of our concentration.
Anyway, watch Natalie Portman kissing a girl in this trailer for Black Swan.
