We’ve already noted the infinite sadness of Rooney Mara as depicted in her “official” portrait snapped at the Oscar nominees’ luncheon. But there’s so much more going on with the twenty acting nominees this year, as each one has a customized framing to suit his or her respective persona. What else is worth noting in the nominee portraits?
- Max von Sydow is the saddest man in the world. He’s been giving frowning lessons to Rooney Mara.
- Jessica Chastain moonlights as a Lana Del Rey impersonator.
- Kenneth Branagh is Ewan McGregor in, like, two years.
- Jonah Hill’s weight is like the phases of the moon and, in time for his return to comedy with “21 Jump Street,” is currently waxing. His tie is perfect for the first day of third form, though.
- If Glenn Close is looking coy, it’s because she’s not going to tell you where in Palm Beach she got her jacket.
- Bérénice Bejo was recently pried loose from the prow of a ship
- Michelle Williams is a living Keane painting.
- We GET it, Jean DuJardin.
