Go Charlize - Go South Afrca

[Tini]

Graet excitiement in South Africa with Charlize Theron wining an Oscar.

An irony is that Monster has not been released in her home town of Benoni due to it been classed as an "art" movie and no "art" theatres in Benoni.

Cheers

I was rooting for her also. I haven't seen Monster yet, but knew she was deserving. Her level of talent has been evident ever since 2 Days in the Valley in 1996. Not all the movies she has be in have been Oscar material, so I knew it was a matter of time, till she got the right part. Hopefully, she can get some decent parts in the future, and that we never have to endure another Reindeer Games or Astronaut's Wife, to see her on film.

Haven't seen monster yet either. But it certainly has recieved rave reviews from most critics.


Old TV footage has been whipped out showing Charlize's early days - some talent competitions and interviews after winning her first international modelling award at 16. People are really Oscar struck here in SA and expecting a big week next week when she is here.

We saw it! She did a FABULOUS job. She definitely deserved the Oscar. The only thing that throws the movie off (and has NOTHING to do w/ her) is that the girlfriend didn't give up her movie rights so they had to give her a different name... other than that, the movie was great and they all played their roles perfectly.


Oops... forgot I was on hubbys computer... this is MrsCozmo... sorry you guys!!!
