Heavily anticipated by Oscar predictors in fall 2007, Justin Chadwick\u2019s historical fiction The Other Boleyn Girl<\/em> paired Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johnasson as their Oscar stars were rising. But when the film was rescheduled into early 2008, all signs pointed towards a disappointment that the film ultimately proved to be. With Eric Bana as King Henry VIII, the film is a soapy and scattered take on the Boleyn sisters vying for the king\u2019s affections. Even with the beloved Sandy Powell on costuming duties, the film’s poor reception canceled out its chances to make an impact in the 08 Oscar races.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This week, we go into Oscar\u2019s long history of awarding films surrounding the royals and how this film is weighted with historical inaccuracies. We also dive into screenwriter Peter Morgan\u2019s place as current royals\u2019 biographer with an Oscar pedigree and Johansson\u2019s long road to her two first Oscar nominations last year, beginning with her two 2003 competing performances through souring her public favor in later years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Topics also include the Teen Choice Awards, a cringe-inducing plot turn that turns Jim Sturgess into a royal Kombucha Girl, and the musical Six<\/em>.<\/p>\n Follow Us on Twitter!\n\n
