I'm very torn ......

I absolutely COULD NOT make a choice between Helen Mirren's characterization of Queen Elizabeth or Judi Dench's portrayal of a (slightly off-centered :evilgrin: ) obbsessive woman in "Notes on a Scandal". Both are excellent.

You?

1. They're both very good

Helen Mirren does an impeccable job of playing Queen Elizabeth, but I'm loving Dame Judi's vampiric spinster. That movie stayed with me for a while.

2. Same here -

I've seen "Notes" twice - with different friends - the second time we had a choice between "The Queen" and "Notes" as well as "The Painted Veil" (which I haven't seen) - she wanted to see any of them - but I steered her toward "Notes". Maybe that's my Oscar pick, after all?
