Gainsbourg should have won for this


In my opinion, Charlotte Gainsbourg put in a great performance in this film. I suppose Dunst, Sutherland, and the man who played Justine's fiance were good, too, but Gainsbourg carried most of the movie. Even in the first part ("Justine") Gainsbourg was almost as important as Dunst.

The performance I thought she REALLY got screwed over for was "Nymph()maniac". It must be a hell of a challenge to give an incredibly unsympathetic narrator a soul and a heart and make their tale fascinating for five plus hours.
