Watched Silkwood today. It was ok and both Kurt Russell and Meryl Streep were great. Of course it underplayed the controversy over her plutonium exposure but that is to be expected.

However, I see that Cher was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for this roll and I just don't see it. She didn't really have much to do. Was it simply because she was playing a lesbian in 1983?
