Marisa Paredes should have received an Oscar nom


This was an excellent performance, one of the best supporting actress performances I've seen. I've also seen Marisa is several other films, such as the disturbing In a Glass Cage and the great horror film The Devil's Backbone. She is a fantastic character actress.

I love you, and that's why you have to let me EAT YOUR BRAINS!

Yes, I agree. She was sensational.
So natural in her reactions to the things happening around her.
She has seen everything but is still vibrant.
Stunningly beautiful too I think!

I agree, I was surprised she didn't get recognition, she was the least awarded supporting player.. and she was the best.

I agree. It's a shame the other supporting players got recognized more than her, I thought she was the highlight. Antonia San Juan was obviously going to get some (well-deserved) credit come awards season, but Paredes was fantastic. Extremely nuanced, every gesture or bit of body language suggested the aging actress. She was both hilarious and heartbreaking; one of my favourite performances.
