Isabelle Huppert, actress: “Excellent script, with a beautifully written heroine. A very precise and subtle director. And it turned out that you seem to be immersed in the plot, and everything else - filming, mise-en-scène, plans and shots, camera movements - then proceeds as usual. This is brilliant professional directing.”
Emma Stone also has a Golden Globe. For his role in Damien Chazelle’s film “La La Land”.

And Meryl Streep, called an “overrated actress” by the current US President, is nominated for an Academy Award for the 20th time. The actress already has three Oscars. Ingrid Bergman had the same number. Katharine Hepburn has one more.
The Academy Awards ceremony has always been distinguished by its unique atmosphere and an abundance of jokes. But a lot definitely went wrong at this year's Oscars. At least not in the way many expected. The presentation of the main award to the “wrong” director, tourists who unexpectedly came to visit the ceremony and the victory of 28-year-old Emma Stone in the category “Best Actress” - all this surprised not only millions of viewers of the online broadcast around the world, but also themselves Hollywood stars. How did the young star of the musical “La La Land” manage to get ahead of Meryl Streep herself?
By the way, Emma Stone left behind not only the heroine of dozens of cult films. Natalie Portman and Isabelle Huppert were also nominated for best actress. Receiving her first Oscar, Stone could not hold back her tears. Meanwhile, fans of the incomparable Meryl Streep are also not amused. Are leading film critics right, and today the American Film Academy Award is more a merit of young age than talent?
Behind main role In the biographical drama “Jackie,” Natalie Portman was nominated for a Golden Globe. Many expected that a second Oscar would be added to the actress’s collection (the actress received her first one back in 2011 for “Black Swan”), but that was not the case. The jury liked the light and airy heroine of the musical performed by Stone more than Natalie in the image of Jacqueline Kennedy.
As for the opinion of professional critics, most of them predicted Isabelle Huppert's victory. The heroine of Paul Verhoeven's film "She" captivated the audience at first sight. Western media are already gossiping with all their might that Huppert’s loss is not at all due to the “badly” played role, but to her age. Although leading directors do not think so and are actively inviting the 63-year-old actress to their most iconic projects.
“Why didn’t Meryl Streep win a fourth Oscar?” - it seems that the headlines of American publications are full of the same question. Which, alas, will remain unanswered. Meanwhile, for us, Meryl will remain one of the most greatest actresses modernity, and her truly masterpiece role in “Florence Foster Jenkins” will be direct proof of this for us.
The fact that the musical “La La Land” is worthy of all praise is beyond any doubt. Public outrage is caused by the receipt of an Oscar for Best Actress by an actress about whom no one had even heard of in the world of cinema just yesterday.
They first started talking about it just five years ago. Then Emma played the main female role in the film “The Amazing Spider-Man”. Before this, the actress had been acting in films for more than seven years, but alas, she appeared only in cameos.
After the successful premiere of The Amazing Spider-Man, the career of the 24-year-old actress began to develop at warp speed. Roles in "Veronica", "Gangster Hunters" and a number of other films brought Stone real popularity. But it is by no means international recognition.
However, the jury of the Oscar film awards does not care about the rates of leading critics and the opinions of ordinary viewers. No matter how upset we are, it was Stone who became the best actress of this year. Well, we can only be glad that the young actress does not have the coveted statuette in the same way as they did with her “management” – Damien Chazelle.
0 17 February 2017, 15:27We continue to study for the " " award. Today the focus of our review is Meryl Streep.
Nomination: Best Actress for Florence Foster Jenkins
The filmography of the actress, who studied her craft according to the Stanislavsky system, includes 80 films, 20 nominations for the “Golden Knight” statuette and great amount awards It seems that no one is nominated for an Oscar more often than Meryl, and therefore we regularly see the star on the red carpet.
One of the most prominent actresses in Hollywood (although the President of the United States) has always avoided fashion trends and, remaining true to herself, over the years has become a recognized style icon. In interviews, the star often notes that clothes reflect her character, and not fleeting trends. However, the approach to choosing an outfit, be it the red carpet, a film premiere or a walk in the park, always remains rational.
When I was a schoolgirl, every Sunday before school week I prepared things for myself five days in advance - so that nothing would be repeated. It looks like pathology, but that's exactly what I did.
Sometimes my obsession with little things scares me. But I can’t help it, I continue to think about every detail of the image almost a month before the important event.
At the beginning of her career, Meryl was a fan of bohemian style: the Hollywood movie star excluded deliberately feminine tight dresses from her wardrobe and filled her closet shelves with maxi skirts, men's shirts a couple of sizes larger, jackets and low-top shoes.
Over time, her taste began to gravitate towards elegant classics - Meryl often chooses flowing floor-length dresses, emphasizing the waist and revealing the shoulders. Streep received her first Oscar on April 14, 1980 for the film Kramer vs. Kramer. The actress appeared on stage in a white bustier dress and a jacket thrown over top. Now the movie star, along with the maxi length, prefers loose-fitting outfits of medium length, but always with covered arms.

"Oscar", 2011
Nevertheless, Meryl’s love for classic shirts continues to this day. True, now the film star wears models with ruffles or ribbons, which she ties in a bow on the chest, or long shirts, belted like a dress.
Pantsuits are also on the list frequent combinations actresses. She wears them both to special occasions, such as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, and in everyday life.
Pay two thousand euros for a bag? Yes, I’d rather carry a cosmetic bag in my teeth!
- Meryl Streep said in an interview several years ago. Does the actress adhere to this rule? controversial issue, since she was still spotted a couple of times with Salvatore Ferragamo and Celine bags. For the path, the choice falls on small clutches, and in ordinary life Can't do without a tote bag. As for jewelry, Streep sees nothing wrong with wearing regular jewelry in the form of earrings or bracelets. But necklaces and pendants are rare.
Meryl Streep never experiments with hair color, hairstyle and bright makeup, denying herself accents. An exception may be appearances on the red carpet, where the actress occasionally appears with rich brown or pink lips. In everyday life, the maximum program for Meryl is a range of “natural” shades on the eyelids, lips, cheeks and a little mascara. The actress wore this kind of makeup back in the eighties and is still faithful to it.
It’s much nicer when people tell you that you look better in real life than in the movies, and not vice versa.
And, as usual, we ventured to guess what Hollywood actress will appear at the 2017 Oscars. We are almost sure that it will be either a trouser suit in monochrome or a midi dress. What do you think?

The names of three-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep and talented fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld surfaced in the context of an unpleasant incident a few hours before the presentation of the main film award of the year!
How it was? Preparing for the red carpet, the actress chose a stunning outfit from the Chanel fashion house. It was supposed to be a silver-gray silk dress. However, after agreeing on the order, the star’s manager contacted Mr. Lagerfeld’s assistant and stated that the toilet was no longer needed! Allegedly, there are fashion designers who are willing to pay extra to a top-tier star if she wears their exclusive outfit for such a high-profile event.
It is worth giving credit: this practice does occur. Some celebrities actually make good money by appearing in public wearing clothes from famous people. brands. However, Chanel never supports this trend. The dress or suit itself is the reward for going out, isn’t it? Each of the unique Haute couture dresses is created by hand. This is a long and painstaking process.
Verbal duel
What about the head of the Chanel fashion house? He managed to comment on the unpleasant situation surrounding the dress, worth €100,000. According to Lagerfeld, when it comes to such a “gift”, there is no need to talk about any “extra payment”:
“We started working on the order. A sketch was completed, and then we began to create the dress. And then the phone rings and the star’s representative reports that they have found a brand that has agreed to pay for an exit in their toilet... How do you understand this? We already give a stunning outfit, but we also have to pay for it? What remains to be said: she’s a brilliant artist, but her behavior couldn’t be cheaper!”
The celebrity's answer was not long in coming. Despite the fact that Chanel and Lagerfeld took back their words, the actress’s mood on the eve of the important ceremony was greatly spoiled.
Streep told WWD that the above allegations are provocation and slander. Or maybe this is just some kind of “black PR”?
“Me, my stylist and the famous designer, whose dress I chose for the 2017 Oscars, was simply slandered. I am sure that this scandal was started with only one purpose - to disgrace me. Such stories are immediately picked up by the “yellow press” and now in every tabloid there is news about my greed. The most interesting thing is that the apology was never received. Lagerfeld lied, and the media picked up his words. I'm still waiting for an official apology!
