Let's face it - if Mirren hadn't won, it probably would gone to Dame Judi Dench or Meryl Streep (now, THAT would truly have been an undeserved Oscar, IMO [no offense to Meryl Streep who I love madly but, come on, "Prada" was hardly one of her vintage performances])Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19295440.post-63710435425436009812007-06-29T14:06:00.000+10:002007-06-29T14:06:00.000+10:00I don't think there's much of a backlash at all.
