Yes she was. I instantly thought Oscar after seeing her performance, and I hope she wins on Sunday.
Ah, Elizabeth. Let's have a marathon and watch Bette, Glenda, Cate, Helen and Judi till our eyes pop out.
All that them took liberties with history. Oh, like we can ever really know what the true history was of 50 years ago, much less 500.
But in Elizabeth, her relationship with Dudley was hardly in the closet at all. It was out out out there. I don't think the dance was out of place in that context. Maybe historically incorrect (or maybe not), but certainly in keeping with the film ... where they carried on in public in 15 or 20 scenes.
I don't recall the Helen version as well. Was she secretive about Jeremy Irons? Ugh, who could be???
