Mira Sorvino--what went wrong?

She didn’t suck off Harvey Weinstein.

Post-Its.

NOT sucking off Harvey is it's own reward. Mira is a hero.

but why did non-Weinstein films not hire her?

Because Weinstein or his people put out the word she was difficult, demanding, box-office poison, etc.

Weinstein blackballed her.

I do remember stories that she was "difficult."

She supposedly lost out on replacing Natasha Richardson in Cabaret (per a cast member) because of that and allegedly told off a director at the Golden Globes "don't you know who I am?!?! I'm an Oscar winner.

All of that may have been smear tactics though now from Harvey.

Try "Lucky with no talents catches up with a bitch."

Nothing went wrong. She took a stand and should be proud of that. She knew her career would be damaged by Harvey Prickstein.

Weinstein smears aside, she is a well-known cunt. Her father too.

She is also a very bad actress. But no one deserves to be Weinstein-ed.

She also tried to become a leading lady after her Oscar win and starred in a couple of flops. Romy and Michelle took a few years after its initial release to become a cult classic.

[quote] Weinstein blackballed her.

Because she blue balled him.

You do realize her Oscar win was 30 years ago? Even if she hadn't been blackballed by Weinstein, she almost certainly would be entering this phase now. She's in a looks and youth-obsessed business and is within sight of 60.

I think she's a great actress.

She made some bitchy comment recently about being tainted by winning an Oscar for a Woody Allen movie

Not that great of an actress and she wouldn’t fuck Woody Allen.

If you’re looks are a 6 and your talent is 5, you better spread those legs darlin.

Did she not give an unsimulated blowjob in some indie movie? Or was that someone else?

That was Chloe Sevigny

Thanks R20 that's right, she sucked off that horny dude with the hair from Six Feet Under

The SAG strike...

Nothing. She has had the career she was meant to have.

Bitch, you're in the company of other women like Diane Keaton, Dianne Wiest, Penelope Cruz, Cate Blanchett.

R24 big Mira doesn't see it like that. She thinks it's cool to drop her panties and shite over the person who cast and directed her to an Oscar, despite the fact almost all the other nominees that year were more deserving. No such thing as innocent til proven guilty in Mira's book.

She doesn't have a leading lady face.

That article with Mira crapping all over Woody Allen made me hate her pathetic, thirsty guts. I don't even like Allen as a person (though I don't believe he molested Dylan), but that's just shitty. He gave her the role that was her ONLY Oscar nominee (and which she won, despite better nominees), and now 28 years later she denounces him because it's trendy? Done with her. Done.

I felt the same when I read it R27 plus the fact she wrote an open letter to Mia and the daughter for the attention, otherwise she could have privately communicated her apologies to them if that's how she felt.

I don't think she deserved her Oscar. She's only won acclaim for playing dumbos.

Moaning Mira beat

Kate Winslet (Sense and Sensibility)

Joan Allen (Nixon)

Kathleen Quinlan (Apollo 13)

Mare Winningham (Georgia)

Forgettable. That Oscar win was a joke.

She was always with the worst people. Weinstein...Allen... she even actually fucked the disgusting Tarantino. She’s a neon hire. She’s not missed on the screen.

*nepo not neon

She is a truly mediocre actress and an extremely disliked bitch.

Her hair color never seems to look natural, esp. at R16. She simply looks better with dark hair. Even Angelina Jolie can't pull off blonde hair.

Her being a brown noser only got her so far it seems.

Regardless of what happened to her I still say "Dancing with the Stars?" Can you imagine?

I can think of at least three performances that should have been nominated over Sorvino that year-

Rachel Griffiths for Muriel's Wedding

Deborah Harry for Heavy

Judy Parfitt for Dolores Claiborne

Sorvino was wretched in Mighty Aphrodite, but then the Supporting Actress category is the one the Oscars seem to consistently get wrong. In the past 40 years, you could count on one hand the times they've chosen the best performance.

Good call R38 I forgot that was the year they snubbed Parfitt for this wretched little fart.

Speaking of her...this was on the other night.

Isn't she cheating on Dancing since she was a trained dancer?

Not any more than Marilu Henner was, r41.

You would think a Harvard graduate would have a better career trajectory than washed-up actress.
