The crowds begin to gather outside H&M for the Marni opening...
- It's funny what a solitary stool and a spotlight can do to a young lady/gentleman. So you can imagine what ensued when we found just that at Bistrotheque at the weekend.
- Over the last few weeks we have been working WELL hard on getting our first ever, fully functioning online store ready to go.
And today we are ready to launch! Come and have a look and let me know what you think and there will be some well exciting things happening on there over the next week or so.

Glenn Close, Albert Nobbs
Glenn Close plays a woman living as a man in 19th century Ireland -- the Albert Nobbs of the title. Hollywood loves actors who play against type -- see Tom Hanks in Philadelphia and Hilary Swank in Boys Don't Cry. But the question is whether anyone would believe Close as a man. Nobbs is a colourless, apparently passionless, individual: a waiter accustomed to blending into the background when important people enter a room.
Close does a good job of rendering this timid creature, but once you've seen her distinctive cheekbones emerge from the makeup, it's difficult to believe that anyone would be fooled. She suffers, by comparison, with supporting actress nominee Janet McTeer, whose turn as Hubert Page -- another woman moving through the world in men's clothing -- is much more convincing. It's no wonder a naive young maid is puzzled by Nobbs' attentions. Though she's got a great role on TV's Damages, Close seems past her romantic lead days. Previously, she's earned two Academy Award nominations for best supporting actress, for The Natural and The World According to Garp, and once for best actress in Dangerous Liaisons. Though she's without a win, I don't think this is her year.

Viola Davis, The Help
The Help is a soap opera, populated by cardboard cutouts of people, and is one of the most popular movies to make it into the Oscar race. That said, Viola Davis is a portrait of complexity as Aibileen Clark, the long-serving maid who has raised 17 children for their white mothers in 1960s Jackson, Miss. Especially moving is the dignity and strength of character her character displays as she stands up to white oppression by sharing her story with Skeeter, the young Caucasian woman who wants to write about the lives of black maids. It would have been easy to overplay the role with such a flabby script, but Davis conveys a change of heart with nothing stronger than a clutched purse and a subtle change of expression.
As an actress, she doesn't have a high Hollywood profile -- just a few performances, including Solaris, The United States of Tara and Doubt, where she was magnificent in a very small role. However, she has long been a powerhouse of the New York stage, earning multiple Tony and Drama Desk Awards. Then, there's the question of colour: the last black woman to win best actress was Halle Berry in 2001. Davis's Golden Globe win may signal it's time to choose a talented black woman as well as reward a film that has captured hearts in the rest of America.

Rooney Mara, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
It's amazing that anyone could make an impression as the titular girl with the dragon tattoo after Noomi Rapace's indelible performance in the original Swedish film. But Rooney Mara, a virtual unknown with only a small role in The Social Network to her credit, manages to give nuance to a character we think we already know. She is more vulnerable and marginally less anti-social as Rapace's Lisbeth Salander. And like her predecessor, Rooney wears silence well. David Fincher's masterful English-language remake also gives us plenty of time to gaze at Daniel Craig in gloomy Swedish settings. The decision not to cast some buxom Hollywood beauty as Lisbeth came as a relief to lovers of Stieg Larsson's novels, but it's hard to separate Mara's performance from Fincher's directing. And if Rapace didn't merit even a nomination for her three stints as Lisbeth, how could anyone give Mara the Oscar?
