on Feb 13 2009 06:17 PM She was fired from "HOMICIDE?" Oh well, that show eventually went to hell, especially once Braugher left. . . but, she was great in it! Melissa Leo seems like a good person. I hope she gets more good roles, so she doesn't have to do spot work like she did in that ridiculous "Righteous Kill." If she wins the oscar I'll be happy. (Reply to this) |

on Feb 14 2009 07:18 PM Loved her in Frozen River (which I saw in theaters, but had to watch it again as soon as it came out last Tuesday). Very glad that they recognized her work and the screenplay for such a small film, and it'd be really interesting if she pulled an upset. (Reply to this) |
