As for Mira I think she's a Fantastic Actress.

i have only seen the movie once and it was recent. i say it doesnt hold up well because i generally like woody allens films..maybe there are one or two here and there that dont hit me. i like mira too, but for her to win a best actress for this was questionable to me. i was expecting like a powerful performance. it seems they gave it to her because it was hollywoods it girl playing a prostitute.

...or maybe they thought she did a nice performance.

I'm not a big "Hollywood" fan. My wife is a member in SAG/AFTRA and she gets to vote every year, and it definitely is a VERY Political climate there... annoyingly so. But they do on occasion get it "Right." But honestly, I rarely pay any attention to awards in general.

I love a lot of the more recent Allen films (beyond The Purple Rose of Cairo) that are a bit more similar to his earlier work. Mighty Aphrodite is definitely one... Alice is wonderful too. There are many.
