Golden

One of the biggest mistakes that the Oscar voters ever did was to deny Cate Blanchett the Best Actress award she so richly deserved for "Elizabeth". I hope they don't make the same mistake twice. And I mean twice for the same role. The Great Cate already deserves the award now based on the trailer alone for "Elizabeth: The Golden Age". Yes it's a sequel and it centers on the love affair between Elizabeth and Sir Walter Raleigh, played by Clive Owen, who delivers this quotable line, "We have many weaknesses; we feel too much, we die, but we do have the chance of love." As though those two Oscar darlings weren't enough the movie also has one-time winner (for "Shine") Geoffrey Rush reprising his role from the first film and two-time nominee Samantha Morton. Shekar Kapur was at the helm again and hopefully he'll get the directing nomination that was denied to him the first time around. You can watch and be blown away by the trailer at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpyP20IMPb8.
