The story I heard is that the original actress got bumped when Adams showed interest in the role. Agree with those that say Adams is a very good actress. Her peers seem to agree as she has 3 Academy Award and several SAG nominations.
@parisloverful Natalie Portman is Jewish, and maybe she couldn't see herself playing a nun in a Catholic school? I'm just speculating here, but I can't really see many reasons anyone would turn down the chance to work with Meryl Streep.
@KleWdSide whoa Amy Adams isn't overrated she's underrated.....you want overrated look at Kristen Stewart all she does is lick her lips play with her hair mumble and look down a lot and a bunch of people say she's a good actresss....Amy Adams in my opinion deserves an Oscar...
@KleWdSide exactly! she's so freakishly overrated for nothing but being popular. she brings nothing new to the table, isn't even gorgeous or charismatic. everyone highly exaggerates her "abilities" when all she's done is play a quiet nun and a bunch of hyperactive, bubbly Barbie dolls even though she's like 40 or something? well she looks it, anyway.
@heartless1197 she's disgustingly overrated as HALE. annoying 30-something who looks a decade older and cant play anything but hyperactive Barbies with creepy blue stares and, oh, a serious nun. no talent at all. and how the frick is Kristen overrated? everyone HATES her. not one person thinks she's good, you only pretend they do because you're taught to think that, even though everyone said she's terrible. stop pretending Amy is talented just because it's cool to.
What are they saying in the beginning ? where Meryl said she wanted to give it to one of her children, and Amye would give it to two anybody ? thanks :)
More women should conduct themselves with dignity and class like the beautiful Amy Adams does. guys don't want the kind of crazy, trash-mouthed skanks that you see all over reality shows. who would want to date or marry that trash? Someone with manners and someone that you can respect only adds to the physical beauty and dateability.
@dlwke2 how is showing off your arse and doing nude scenes dignified or classy? she's boring, and not beautiful in the least; looke exactly like every other blue-eyed blonde middle aged mom off the street, so average we noncelebs pretend she's stunning or talented just because we can relate to such a painfully average person. She brings nothing new to the table, and she's too "safe" to be classy. Audrey Hepburn now, THAT is what dignity and class look like, not some trendy, fake Barbie doll.
@LiloPelakai, you sound like either: a) a stereotypical, sad, bitter homosexual male with a habit of making misogynistic comments or b) a sad, bitter woman who is jealous of Amy Adams' beauty and grace. Either way, you're definitely sad and bitter. But enough about you & your issues. Let's move on to a more worthwhile subject: Amy Adams. Does anyone know what her next movie will be? I have loved this classy woman in everything she has done, and am glad she's getting the recognition she deserves
@CamiloSanchez1979: camilo, you're just a dip who thinks everyone else is as immature and petty as you probably are. Meryl didn't diss elisabeth. you're an idiot.
hey, you vile, filth-spewing PIG, you're a retard and a deranged Obama worshipper. Oh, and 37 million people agree with me, so you lose. P.S. - learn proper grammar, swine.
Both Amy and Merryl are amazing...but why did they have them on the show at the same time if they were just going to pretty much ignore Amy and talk to Merryl...all but one question was directed to Merryl...? O-O Why not do them separately...?
@Guimmi then, hmm, maybe Amy should get off her pampered, safe little Barbie butt and stop being so dang boring. Meryl takes risks; she DESERVES the attention. Amy brings nothing original to Hollywood. she is too safe and afraid to play something other than hyperactive, average looking Valley Girl types and a nun.
I like how Amy didn't hug anyone because it's not like she knows any of them personally. I think when some guests hug everyone they're being fake because they think that's what they're supposed to do. Amy seems very sincere.
@kinglear Oh shut up. Have you ever heard of etiquette? since when did hugging people translate into fakeness? jesus, some of you fans are insufferable.
I still have to see "Doubt" but I'm doing a scene from it currently (Sr. James and Sr. Aloysius in the garden). It's going to be amazing. Unfortunately I hear that Sr. Aloysius is played as a conservative crazy, a new angle, admittedly, but I rather like her character and I believe that she is just trying to protect the boy. Thoughts?
oh! yeah im being wayyy dumb! lol! sry! well i thought they were talkin not about the main girls in it, u know? am i making any sence?! PLEASE JUST 4GET EVRYTHING I SAID!;LOL
The story is based on a woman Elizabeth Bailey Seton. When her husband died of TB in italy, she was left alone without any money and 5 young children. At this time widowed women became teachers. Elizabeth started a organization that was called the Sisters of Charity, doubt is based on a branch of this organization.
Haha, talking about donating a kidney, is that what the movie is about? Funny though, my aunt is donating her kidney to her son's baseball coach on Thursday so I guess she is like Amy and would give her kidney to anyone.
This was taped on December 9th, 2008, the day after she appeared on David letterman coughing up a lung. I know this because she wore the same thing on GMA (Good Morning America) on the 9th of December, that was taped live. She mentions that she is better this day than the day before on GMA. Well she is still very sick you can tell by the way she talks.
Yea I saw her on Letterman and it was painful seeing her so sick, 'cos you know, we hate for meryl to be sick!! But with her Streep-tastic-ness she was still as witty and graceful as ever. She could grunt and still be elegant.
Oh my gosh I believed Whoopi at first when she started saying Meryl was in Dream Girls and I was like, Was she? And then I was like Oh...well that was embarrasing!
