Good Morning, World

.
Congratulations to Isabelle Huppert on her first (yeah, we know) Oscar nomination this morning (see all of the nominations over at The Film Experience) for Paul Verhoeven's masterful film Elle. (Elle missed the Foreign Film race but we're trying to stay positive right now, so stop it.) The more times I watch Elle the darker and more biting the film gets and obviously it owes a hefty chunk of that to Huppert, who I think is in every scene of the film? If she's not name the scene she's not in in the comments. 

Anyway these pictures are of a young Izzy with Steve Guttenberg and his sexy 80s self in the terrific and underrated 1987 thriller The Bedroom Window. (You can see more shirtless Steve in that movie right here because of course we got that covered.) I hope where ever Huppert is celebrating there's some fuzzy man-chest not far out of reach. (It's not a celebration without it.)

Congratulations to Huppert. It has to be the nastiest performance ever nominated, right? The only other close to it would be Ben Kingsley for Sexy Beast...

I had completely forgotten about this one! Huppert + Guttenberg* is the craziest pairing ever!


*Love that chest too

I'm thrilled that Huppert got nominated and would love to see her win. However, Streep got another nomination. Like she needs one. She doesn't deserve four Oscars. She's the most overrated actress of all time. Even Katharine Hepburn and Angela Lansbury have criticized her. She needs to deny nominations and give someone else a chance!

Is the Trump speaking about Streep?
