    3. I like it, and Helen can be a really strong contender for Best Actress race.

    4. Even before Hopkins, I say Mirren is so in in the Best Actress category

    5. Mirren looks like a solid prediction right now. Still not sure about Hopkins though.

      • Unfortunately Mark, it’s not about the acting but the character being portrayed. It sucks, but that’s the nature of the game. I didn’t find Hopkins that impressive in the trailer as well but we’ll see…

    6. I’m definitely dubious about Hopkins (crowded category and he looks ok at best) but Mirren looks good and could sneak in, and it actually looks solidly well written–although Psycho bowed only a year after the highly successful North by Northwest, suggesting Hitchcock had little down time between the two (it began shooting about three months after NxNW’s opening), and I confess I find the plot element of Hitchcock’s mortgaging his house to be a bit dubious.

      Not that I object too strenuously to the modification of history for dramatic impact, but when you’re dealing with such recent events (and with subject matter that will be of interest mostly to film buffs anyway), you might as well stick as close to the facts as you can.
