Hey Dan
1. Good lists of information on Emma Thompson.
2. Good to see that Emma has earned a spot on the Oracle List.
3. I would imagine that “using Billboard music” talk that see has a down arrow by her name….at 59…seems her career is headed to supporting roles.
4. Good ole Robbie Coltrane winning the most frequent co-star battle…..I have always enjoyed him in his movies.
5. Harry Potter is helping her with lots of connections for sure. Love Actually is well represented…but not as much as I would have guessed.
6. 25 Oscar winning co-stars…I would say that is below average…..maybe her total will go up if Arnold wins an Oscar for playing The Terminator for the 5th time, later this year…lol.
Good feedback as always…you are the man!
Regarding Emma Thompson being an Oscar winner – she also won the Best Screenplay Oscar for Sense and sensibility. I believe she is the only person so far to win an Oscar both for acting and for screenplay.
Thanks Flora. I appreciate the Emma Thompson information. Good stuff.
