	The Jodie Foster Fan Page - Biografy
		She had several commercial ad stints before she landed a role in several TV series beginning with "Mayberry RFD", "My Three Sons", "The Courtship of Eddie's Father"; guesting on "The Partridge Family" in the episode "Eleven Year Itch" in 1970, and in "Kung Fu".
		This brought Jodie her first Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role, and opened for her the usually unfriendly gates of fame.
		Some say that this role was tailor-made for the Oscars, which earned her third Oscar nomination, but I say that every Jodie Foster film is tailor-made for any award.

	Filmtracks: The Phantom of the Opera (Andrew Lloyd Webber)
		While much press was given to the marriage and divorce of lead actress Sarah Brightman to Webber, the lasting dynasty of The Phantom of the Opera is owed to the majesty of lead actor Michael Crawford alone.
		The choice of Butler in the title role was met with immediate skepticism by devoted fans and the general public alike, for the actor, known more for his dashing looks than anything else, had no formal training as a vocalist.
		In every corner, the roles are performed without emphasis on words, without pizzazz in moments of triumph, and without the enthusiasm that saturated the performances of the original cast.

		Actress in a Supporting Role: I had a hard time making this decision, but either way I went, the award still goes to someone from the cast of "Chicago." Catherine Zeta-Jones did a great job in her role as a killer singer, pun intended, and should get the Oscar.

		She's aware that she has reached a career pinnacle this year with Oscar nominations for both "Far From Heaven" (best actress) and "The Hours" (supporting actress), but she's also aware of her tenuous place in a motion-picture industry preoccupied with creating theme park rides instead of smart movies.
		The buzz surrounding her performance led to high-profile parts opposite Sylvester Stallone in "Assassins" and Hugh Grant in "Nine Months." All three movies were released in 1995, and set the tone for a career that has been equally divided between indie and studio films.
		She takes the roles nobody else seems interested in -- the bitches, the bad mates, the retards -- and challenges the type of sentimentality we're used to seeing.

		This is a real-life role and he puts on weight so I'm thinking AMPAS will be very happy.

		The role screams Oscar-bait but he just had his moment of glory and Academy members aren't really hot for remakes.
