Mas não deixou-se abater e, naquele ano mesmo, conseguiu um pequeno papel na novela Olho no Olho. Depois, entrou no elenco de Pátria Minha, e, a partir daí não parou mais.

I do not have to be a submissive wife
 to any macho guy any more

We have many aspects in common, but you cannot dance like this.

Em 2007, apareceu como vilão na produção canadense 300, do diretor Zack Snyder. Na história, adaptada dos quadrinhos de Frank Miller e Lynn Varley, despontou como o rei persa Xerxes, papel para o qual teve que raspar completamente o cabelo e cobrir o rosto com dezenas de piercings.

Dancing with Oscar

2011 Oscar Actresses Nominees

2011 OSCAR BEST ACTRESS CATEGORY

Annette Bening ("The Kids Are All Right") plays a lesbian wife and mother whose children have found their sperm donor father. Bening has clearly been more leading and better in other performances (American Beauty and Being Julia). She was also nominated by the Screen Actors Guild Awards for outstanding performance by a female actor for same role.

Nicole Kidman ("Rabbit Hole") delivers outstanding performance as the mother whohas to cope with her son death in a car accident.  Kidman was also nominated for the same role by the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Independent Films Awards.

Jennifer Lawrence ("Winter"s Bone") as 17 year-old Ree Dolly embarks on a mission to find her father in the stark and hostile landscape of the Ozark Woods.  This headstrong and intrepid young woman gradually pieces together the chilling story behind her father’s disappearance.  With a face as impassively beautiful as the landscape she trudges through, Ree Dolly is a heroine you won't forget.  Lawrence was also nominated by the Screen Actors Guild Awards for outstanding performance by a female actor for same role.

Natalie Portman  ("Black Swan") Natalie believably sells the madness, desire, and fear with her acting in Black Swan, but also pulls it off as a dancer. In a part like this, there was no way it could get away with a body double.

Portman devoted six months of ballet training for that aspect of her role and it shows. Nina is an incredibly complicated role that required Portman to make something beautiful look equally damaged and ugly at the same time. Portman has won several awards for best actress with the same role.

Michelle Williams ("Blue Valentine") gives amazing performance of raw, occasionally shocking honesty and bravery in this romantic drama that takes an intimate look at a young couple heartbreaking portrait of a not-so-fairytale love story. If you thought Williams showed married anguish and restraint in Brokeback Mountain, she outdoes herself in this movie back and forth scenes of their early courtship and later failing marriage.

 

2011 OSCAR BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS CATEGORY


Amy Adams ("The Fighter")

She puts in a great performance as Charlene Fleming as boxer Micky Ward’s girlfriend.  Adams nabbed her third nomination — capping a five-year run that landed her on the A-list.  Was also nominated by the Screen Actors Guild Awards for same role.

Helena Bonham Carter ("The King"s Speech") plays Queen Elizabeth. It’s a very emotional performance from the British actress as her character supports her husband through his difficulties to help him become the king that everyone hopes that he will be. 

Carter was also nominated by the 2011 Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.

Melissa Leo ("The Fighter") delivers knock-out performance.  The L.A. Film Critics Association named Leo for best supporting actress runner up. She also won the Golden Globe and the Screen Actors Guild Awards winner for same role.

Hailee Steinfeld ("True Grit") plays tough and single-minded teenager Mattie Ross.  For a first time actress who was 13 at the time, is incredibly outstanding and carries the film with more believability than the older Kim Darby did in the 1969 version.  Mattie might be the perfect Coen heroine, with a controlled exterior that makes it seem as though there’s nothing more emotional going on beneath the surface. Her final act in the film shows that perception to be a miscalculation

 
 Jacki Weaver ("Animal Kingdom") got her her first-ever nomination.  She is already a huge acting star in her native Australia but the rest of the world have only just got a taste of her talent with her new movie Animal Kingdom.  Kingdom is a grim and brutal thriller and Weaver’s performance is at its heart as the grandma from hell.  



A youngster is given an inside look at a criminal empire that also happens to be his family. Teenage Joshua Cody s suddenly on his own after his mother's drug habit catches up with her, and he's taken in by his grandmother Smurf (Jacki Weaver)
