Thank you!
I'll give Macy his props (even though I believe that homely actors
always get the best reviews), but Spacey's hubris in trying this
role was chilling.

Time will tell. James Stewart was way too old to play Charles
Lindbergh in the SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS also---but I love the movie and
time has the made the discrepancy almost irrelevant, since Stewart's
essence is so right. Generations from now viewers won't be as in
touch with Darin's real age during the events depicted.
As to Spacey's voice----I think you're delusional. He's an
exceptional singer, at times technically better than Darin. I think
Spacey's recording of If I Were A Carpenter is actually far superior
to Bobby Darin's original; it shows a depth of shading and nuance that
Darin's lacks.

Crossing over to role of a lifetime
February 27, 2006
An Oscar campaign demands an arduous shower routine, Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman tells
Christine Sams.
For the high-profile actors involved in this year's Oscars race, it can
sometimes feel like a presidential campaign.
"I haven't had to kiss babies yet or go to Ohio, both of which I would be
happy to do," says nominee Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman, with a laugh. "Of course, I've
never done a presidential campaign, I can only imagine. But I guess it is
[like that]. It's about getting people to see your movie."
When Huffman talks about wanting "people" to see her film Transamerica, she
has 5798 people specifically in mind - the Academy of Motion Picture Arts
and Sciences voters, who can make or break her chances as an Oscar winner
for the best actress award.
Final voting for this year's awards closes on Tuesday in the US and stars
including Huffman have made relentless public and private outings in the
past month, carefully coiffed and dressed in designer clothes, conducting
high-profile media interviews and turning up for all-important red-carpet
appearances.
And that's not to mention staying squeaky clean - literally.
"I've never taken so many showers in my life," says Huffman, who chatted to
S exclusively from Los Angeles last week. "Your hair has to be clean every
day. I don't know about you, but I wash my hair maybe once every three days.
As a mum I wash my hair about once every 10 days if I'm lucky!"
Despite her serious bid for Oscars glory, Huffman can see the amusing side
of all the pre-Oscars grooming. "I guess the funniest part is sometimes you
put on these beautiful dresses that [then] look completely like crap. I have
to say I do think it's hilarious when that happens. I don't mean I want to
go out looking like that, but sometimes they're just so insane and made for
these six-foot-tall models, which I am not!"
Huffman, 43, is up against Reese Witherspoon'>Reese Witherspoon (Walk The Line), Dame Judi
Dench (Mrs Henderson Presents), Keira Knightley (Pride & Prejudice) and
Charlize Theron (North Country) for the actress in a leading role award at
this year's Oscars ceremony. At this stage, Huffman and Witherspoon are
frontrunners for the prestigious award.
"The difference between Reese Witherspoon'>Reese Witherspoon and Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman is there's a
good 15-year age difference," says Aili Riley, an associate reporter for US
Weekly magazine in Hollywood. "Felicity is even more serious [about winning
an Oscar] because she's been acting for 30 years . . . this acclaim and this
critical success in her career right now is very important.
"In US interviews [where 80 per cent of academy voters live], she's taking
everything very seriously. She used to joke a lot more, she was really
funny - and she still is very funny - but as she's doing the rounds for the
awards shows and the red carpets, she's focusing on staying more serious and
in that 'actor' mode," Riley says.
In Transamerica, Huffman plays the role of Bree - a transsexual man awaiting
sex change surgery. In other words, she is a woman playing a man yearning to
be a woman. When it comes to unusual acting transformations, it has Oscars
glory written all over it.
"This role was the part of a lifetime," Huffman says. "Not only because of
her internal journey where she's holding on to all these emotions that we
all share, despite the packaging. But also because of being a woman playing
a man becoming a woman. That pastry fold-over was irresistible."
The physical transformation was one of the biggest challenges of the role,
including voice training to lower her vocal register and wearing wigs and
make-up that made Huffman look authentically transsexual.
"In terms of being an actor, that was certainly part of the appeal," she
says. "But did I ever think that anyone more than my mother and 10 people
would see it? No."
In fact, the film was such a low-budget production by Hollywood standards
that Duncan Tucker, the writer and director of Transamerica, initially asked
his mother to mortgage her home to finance it.
Because Huffman's role in the independent film has been in direct
competition with stars backed by major Hollywood studios (including
Witherspoon), her Oscars campaign has focused on the film festival circuit,
public appearances and intimate media interviews with presenters including
Oprah Winfrey.
"With a small movie like Transamerica you kind of need the push behind it
because it's an art house film," Huffman says. "We don't have any studio
money behind us."
"They know the first job and most important job is for the movie to be seen
[by voters]," says Ric Robertson, executive administrator of the Academy. He
says the jostling behind the scenes for voters' attention was now the norm
within the industry.
"I mean, this is arguably the most famous award in the world," Robertson
says. "But [the politicking] continues to amaze me and I've worked here for
25 years."
For Huffman, a key asset is credibility. She has decades of experience in
film, television and stage acting. Her marriage to William H. Macy (whom she
calls Bill), a highly respected actor, is another bonus.
"I don't know if I'm on the same level as Bill, that's for sure, but I
certainly hold onto his coat-tails," Huffman says. "The respect for him is
phenomenal."
But she says there is no competitiveness between her and her husband when it
comes to acting achievements.
"Bill has always cherished me and wanted me to shine and now is no
exception," she says. "Gosh, he's always 100 per cent behind me. He came
with me to England and Chicago, flying everywhere, on these eight-, 10- and
11-hour flights. I married well," she says.
While the star herself seems warm, relaxed and in good spirits ahead of the
Academy Awards - she is cheerfully eating porridge while we're chatting over
the phone - US commentators say Huffman has carefully positioned herself in
the minds of voters as an "actor's actor", away from her globally recognised
role on Desperate Housewives.
"I would say for Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman in particular, she's always tried to
market herself as a very serious actress. Even in Desperate Housewives she's
always been the 'actor' of the show," says Riley."With all the awards for
Desperate Housewives and now Transamerica and the Oscar nomination, I think
she's, even more, going to try and break away from the fluffy side of her
work and going into the more dramatic, serious roles. I think she feels like
she's got a big break in this role and with all the acclaim she's gotten,
she's trying to keep serious and take all of it in. She's getting really
caught up in it, I think."
But Huffman insists she is equally as proud of her work on Desperate
Housewives and is not shying away from talking about her television role
simply for Oscars credibility.
"That's not how I see it," she says. "I love Desperate Housewives, I don't
want to pull the focus away from it. I'm so proud and honoured to be on the
show."
But in terms of campaigning for an Oscar, she's still learning. "I know very
little of this because it's the first time I've done it," she says.
As for winning the prized trophy? "I don't know how it would feel," she
says.
"I know how this sounds, but honest to God it just feels so amazing being
nominated. I just can't believe I get to go to the Oscars as myself and not
as a seat filler," she adds, laughing.
"So the prospect of winning . . . well, I don't really go there. I just
think 'My God, this great movie means I get to go to the Academy Awards.
It's fantastic.' "
The transformers
The path to Oscars glory can mean a demanding physical transformation.
Nicole Kidman, The Hours
When Denzel Washington announced Nicole Kidman had won her Oscar "by a
nose", he was referring to the ugly prosthetic nose Kidman donned to play
writer Virginia Woolf. By playing down her looks - and completely
transforming her face and hair - Kidman gained the ultimate acting accolade.
"I actually would not have cast myself in the role if I was casting the
film," Kidman told reporters. "[But]I think roles fall into your lap at
certain times when they're meant to happen."
Charlize Theron, Monster
After putting on weight and donning special effects make-up, Charlize Theron
switched from being a Hollywood glamazon to a convincing serial killer,
Aileen Wournos. Theron's previous roles had relegated her as a pretty
leading lady, but the Monster role upped her credibility as a serious actor
and Hollywood heavyweight. The actor refused to wear a fat suit for the
role, instead gaining the kilos necessary to portray Wournos on screen.
Hilary Swank, Boys Don't Cry
In one of film's most extraordinary transformations, Swank played Brandon
Teena (otherwise known as Teena Brandon) in Boys Don't Cry. With a story
centred on a young woman pretending to be male - and the ensuing local
controversy and violence towards her - Swank lowered her voice register, had
her hair chopped and donned male clothing. She had previously acted in glam
TV series Beverly Hills 90210, so the credibility leap was one of the most
notable in Oscars history.
Gwyneth Paltrow, Shakespeare in Love
She might have been the girliest of girls, sobbing in her pink dress at the
Oscars podium, but Paltrow posed as a young man for her role in Shakespeare
In Love. Although her character was also shown as a beautiful woman, with
tumbling blonde locks, Paltrow dressed in men's clothing for parts of the
film and changed her voice. It was a convincing portrayal of a young woman
disguising herself to indulge her love of theatre.
Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman, Transamerica
She might not have an Oscars trophy yet, but Huffman is among frontrunners
this year because of her transsexual role in the indie film Transamerica.
Huffman's mannerisms, voice and physical appearance are entirely altered in
the film, with the actress convincing as a transsexual man wanting to become
a woman, via a sex change operation. She also wears a prosthetic penis for
the role. One of her most memorable lines in the film is when her troubled
character, Bree, says: "I hate my penis, it disgusts me."

series on the air, received 15 nods Thursday morning as the Academy of
Television Arts & Sciences announced the nominations for the 57th annual
awards.
"Housewives," the story of a group of women on intrigue-infested Wisteria
Lane, earned picks for three of its actresses -- Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman, Marcia
Cross and Teri Hatcher'>Teri Hatcher'>Teri Hatcher'>Teri Hatcher -- as well as a nomination for best comedy series.
However, the show's fourth "Housewife," Eva Longoria, was overlooked.
Longoria was also the only "Housewife" not to earn a Golden Globe
nomination.
The show tied NBC's "Will & Grace" for most nominations for a series.
"Everybody Loves Raymond," which wrapped its final season in May, earned 13
nominations, including nods for best comedy series and best actor in a
comedy series (Ray Romano).
The HBO films "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers" and "Warm Springs" each
had 16 bids, to top all nominees. HBO also led all networks in nominations
with 93.
A few newcomers managed to break into the Emmy ranks. "Lost," another hit
ABC show, was nominated 12 Emmys, including best drama. Hugh Laurie, of
Fox's medical drama "House," earned a nod for best actor in a drama.
In a pair of surprises, the low-rated Showtime series "Huff," about a
therapist with his own issues, picked up a nomination for its lead actor,
Hank Azaria, and the NBC series "Medium" received a best actress nomination
for its lead, Patricia Arquette.
Emmy did stick with some tried-and-true favorites, including "Will & Grace"
and NBC's "The West Wing." The latter show, which has been considered on the
wane, earned its sixth straight nomination for best drama over critical
favorites "Nip/Tuck," "Rescue Me" and "Alias."
Also snubbed were The WB's "Gilmore Girls" and UPN's "Veronica Mars," two
shows that have earned good ratings and good reviews.
"Peter Sellers" and "Warm Springs" were nominated for best TV movie. Other
nominees in the category were "Lackawanna Blues," "The Office Special" and
"The Wool Cap."

WAILEA, Hawaii - Actor William H. Macy received the Rainmaker Award at
the Maui Film Festival for "his magical ability to raise the creative
dynamics of every project he touches," organizers say.
Macy won Emmy Awards as the star and co-writer of TNT's "Door to Door,"
a 2002 film about a salesman with cerebral palsy. He was nominated for
an Academy Award for "Fargo" in which he played a bungling, scheming
Midwestern husband.
Macy said acting continues to challenge him. "I still find myself
coming up against situations that I'm not quite sure what to do. That's
a great feeling," he said.
Macy's on-screen credits include "The Cooler," "Boogie Nights,"
"Jurassic Park III" and "Magnolia." The animated film "Bee Movie,"
which Macy co-wrote with Jerry Seinfeld, is scheduled for release in
2007.
Macy was accompanied by his wife, Felicity Huffman, of the ABC series
"Desperate Housewives."
