The year is 2003 and the nominees are: 1. Salma Hayek - Frida 2. Nicole Kidman - The Hours 3. Renée Zellweger - Chicago 4. Julianne Moore - Far from Heaven 5. Diane Lane - Unfaithful - In 2003 Nicole Kidman won her Oscar “…by a nose” for playing Virginia Woolf in The Hours. With only 28 minutes of screen time Kidman had the least amount of time in front of the camera compared to her costars (Streep had 42 min and Moore had 33 min) but Miramax wanted to put her forward as lead as to not compete with Moore in a supporting category. Frankly I’m not mad at this but it probably effected Salma Hayek’s chances to win as Miramax now had two of their actresses competing for a lead Oscar. Hayek gave a career best in Frida portraying iconic artist, Frida Kahlo. Renée Zellweger gave a triple threat performance in Chicago playing Roxie Hart in a world where corruption and deceit is rewarded. Julianne Moore was double nominated in 2003 for The Hours and Far from Heaven. Far from Heaven tells the story of Cathy a perfect 1950’s housewife whose life and belief system comes crashing down after her husband (Dennis Quaid) comes to terms with the fact that he’s gay. Definitely one of Moore’s best! And finally we have Diane Lane in the steamiest performance of her career in Unfaithful. Let it be known I saw this movie for the first time when it came out with my grandmother (LOL). Unfaithful is a very divisive topic among movie fans - they either love it, or hate it. I LOVE it - FIGHT ME! Join host Kyle Brownrigg with guest host Cathryn Naiker as they discuss.
