Actors/Actresses: October 2008 Archives

Had the chance for a quick chat with the lovely Kristin Scott Thomas the other day at the Hollywood Film Festival Awards gala just before she entered the ballroom.

An Oscar nominee for "The English Patient" a decade ago, she is once again getting awards buzz for her performance in "I've Loved You So Long."

"It's very, very early days I think," she said, dismissing awards talk.

But it's clear the movie means a lot to her.

"I love this film," she said. "It's one of the most personal films because it's a film that I took on as a challenge and the director took it on as a challenge. He'd never made a film before, I'd never acted in anything else like this before. It's a deeply emotional and kind of honest film and I'm very, very proud of it."

I still can't believe Hugh Grant didn't pick HER in "Four Weddings and a Funeral."
