...Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role: Carla Gugino. Actresses are so marginalized at Comic-Con, there's no point in having a lead category. Their job is to show up, look hot and perhaps answer a vaguely provocative question about weapons training. But Gugino contributed actual information at the Watchmen panel, discussing Sally Jupiter/Silk Spectre's tragic character arc. "You see the glint of light in her eyes, who she could have been," Gugino said of a scene played at the panel. While atypical for the Con, Gugino's seriousness was an indication that Watchmen...
...this time it's an alien invasion. A Navy vessel is visited by a spacecraft that resembles a shape-shifting Christmas ornament; the boat's surviving crew members have their DNA reprogrammed with alien code and turn evil. So Washington calls in Molly Anne Caffrey (Carla Gugino), a worst-case-scenario consultant, and assembles a team of eccentric scientists. The cast is startlingly good--there's also Peter Dinklage (The Station Agent) and Charles S. Dutton (Roc)--given that the actors have to deliver lines like "I think we're looking at a four-dimensional object--in three- dimensional space...
...poner a los latinos en papeles estelares y ampliar la definici?n de lo que es un rol latino. ?Hollywood no ten?a roles para Jennifer L?pez ni Salma Hayek hace diez a?os?, dice Rodr?guez, quien hizo cambiar todo eso con su trilog?a, Spy Kids, donde Antonio Banderas y Carla Gugino interpretan superh?roes latinos. ?Ahora no tienes que poner a los latinos en papeles latinos solamente...
...make more sense to declare an ensemble award (it's happened before) for supporting actresses: to the Broken Flowers brigade of Lange, Sharon Stone, Frances Conroy, Tilda Swinton, Alexis Dziena, Chloe Sevigny and Pell James; or to the Sin City sorority that includes Jessica Alba, Carlo Gugino, Rosario Dawson, Brittany Murphy and Jaime King. Our choice is the Three Burials tandem of Melissa Leo and January Jones: one strong and maternally sexy, the other brutalized but unbowed, each so arresting, the source of so much of the film's wayward life, that The Three Burials inevitably sags when they disappear...
...everyone else's analysis. They romanticize her fragility ("She's been stepping on broken glass since she could walk"). They lament the burden of fame ("Everyone wants something from her; we're no exceptions"). In After the Fall the Marilyn character (especially as played by the magnetic Carla Gugino in the recent revival) was an alternately charming and infuriating force of nature. Here she's the wreckage from a storm, with the survivors left to pick through the rubble...
