Becky/Morning Glory #2 - It's Rachel's Time to Shine





"Morning Glory is a funny entertainment to begin with,
and then Rachel McAdams transforms it ...
She plays as lovable a lead as anyone since Amy Adams in Junebug.
Morning Glory could have been routine.
It's Rachel McAdams' life force that illuminates it."
—Roger Ebert"





Becky (Rachel McAdams) is a hard-working morning TV show producer, or at least she was until she got fired. Desperate to get a job, she finally gets an interview with Jerry (Jeff Goldblum) - who is desperate to hire a producer for the struggling show "Daybreak". Becky accepts the job and it proves to be more difficult than even she might be able to handle. She has to fire the sexist co-host, then try to convince egotistical news reporter, Mike Pomeroy (Harrison Ford), to take the job, and then try and get him to actually do the job, properly. And she has to do this while falling for handsome Adam (Patrick Wilson), and trying to save the show from plummeting ratings. Will Becky be able to hold on to her dream job and her sanity?





Cast:
Rachel McAdams ... Becky Fuller
Harrison Ford ... Mike Pomeroy
Diane Keaton ... Colleen Peck
Patrick Wilson ... Adam Bennett
Jeff Goldblum ... Jerry Barnes

She truly does shine in the movie! Even with Ford and Keaton there, Rachel is the star of the movie. My only regret is that the overall plot of the movie itself wasn't great and therefore will hurt her chances during awards season.

GG noms come out Wed so let's keep our fingers crossed. What a huge career achievement it would be to be nominated for a major award aside from an MTV award

The nominations came out, and unfortunately, she didn't get one. Oh, well. The Tourist got a couple nominations, including for Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. But in the comedy category, really?

It's disappointing. I think Angelina Jolie is the biggest surprise for that category.

Thanks for the new thread, Belle! The OP is beautiful!

Aw, I'm disappointed that Rachel didn't get a GG nomination... . I haven't seen The Tourist -- I didn't think it was a comedy?

I still haven't seen Morning Glory... but I was still hoping it was GG worthy for Rachel.

You're welcome!

I've only seen trailers on TV, and unless the trailer is misleading, it kinda looked more like a spy thriller or something to me.

I haven't seen it either.

I haven't seen the Tourist either but I was surprised that Angelina got nominated, but I'm happy about that. Just sucks that Rachel didn't get nominated. She deserves it.

The Tourist got awful reviews - whereas Morning Glory had so-so reviews. I think the GG's wanted a big name there so she got nominated. Anyway - still really disappointed with no Rachel for Best Actress in a Comedy/Musical.

I guess we have Midnight in Paris in 2011 - but that might be supporting.

The UK poster's really cute, Belle. Thanks for sharing. I like her outfit in the poster.

I still haven't seen this unfortunately. I've been so busy with work and the holidays. I don't even think it's in the theaters here anymore.
