The motion pictures, “The Artist” and “The Help” received nominations across many different categories. Both were nominated for in the category of “Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture”, along with “The Descendants”, “Midnight in Paris” and “Bridesmaids”. Though Midnight in Paris is considered a romantic comedy, it is Woody Allen after all, Bridesmaids is the only true comedy to be featured.
The movie, which features an all female ensemble, was a smash hit. It catapulted the careers of two of the film’s stars, Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy. Wiig, who also co-wrote the project is leaving the series SNL this year and jumping into film. McCarthy was nominated for the SAG award “Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role.” Her comedic timing and delivery definitely make her one new hollywood talent to keep an eye on.
