Best Year Ever: Natalie Portman Edition


Natalie has really had such a sick year.  She started it by getting to work with Darren Aronofsky, one of my favorite directors, filming black swan.  Usually, I find ballet movies to be directed to a very specific audience.  However, with Black Swan, that is not the problem.  It is more of a psychological thriller then it has ever and probably will ever be a ballet film.  
Even though Natalie looks a little sickly thin in the movie, it made me respect her as an actress (just by looking at her body you can see the work that went into training for BS).
....and then she won the Oscar.  
Which I was glad she did.  Even though it was obvious that she was going to win, which definitely made this particular award season hard to even get through, she really has worked her ass off since she was like 12 or 13 when she was in The Professional with Gary Oldman (Sirius Black in HP, Lt.Gordon in Nolan's Batman Films,etc) in which she played an orphan turned assassin's apprentice.
Also, her movie with Doucheshton Kutcher opened with strong numbers and did much better than the studio has predicted it would do.  I personally found it to be really cliche in every sense of the way, while almost trying to be provocative just for shock value.  

....Who does that shit right?
