Still Alice is a slightly above-average movie with the best lead performance you’ll see from an actress all year. There are only a couple of shoo-ins at this year’s Academy Awards. I believe that most categories are predictable, but there will be a couple of surprises. The big ones that will not come as a surprise are Patricia Arquette (Best Supporting Actress – Boyhood) and Julianne Moore for her performance as a 50-year-old woman suffering from Early-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease in Still Alice. Each year, there is a movie that earns a significant award but is not recognized in any other category. This year, that movie is Still Alice. I’m not a huge fan of Moore. I think she’s good, but she’s slightly overrated. Nonetheless, she is due to be recognized, and this is the lead performance that is head and shoulders above the other contenders.
