I used to think she was so weak as an actress (her American films were terrible and the relationship with Tom Cruise didn't help), but it only took 'Volver' ("I smell farts...") for me to do a complete 180. I have since discovered 'All About My Mother' and the magic of Almodovar. According to reviews (the films haven't come out in Aus yet) I'm set to fall in love with her all over again in 'Vicky Christina Barcelona' (Another Woody Allen comeback) and 'Elegy'. Can't Wait! Hopefully Woody can get her the Oscar she should have won in 2006. Supporting Actress used to be his most successful acting category: Wins (3): Diane Wiest x2, Mira Sorvino (!!). Noms (5): Maureen Stapleton, Mariel Hemingway, Judy Davis, Jennifer Tilly, Samantha Morton as opposed to Lead Actor-2 noms (criminally, neither of which belong to Jeff Daniels for 'Purple Rose...'), Lead Actress-1 win/1 nom and Supporting Actor - 1 win/2 noms. Fingers crossed Pecruz...

The Up and Up of Penelop Cruz
