Melissa Leo’s personally purchased For Your Consideration ads emphasizing her age didn’t backfire after all. She gives a long, emotional acceptance speech for her performance in “The Fighter,” which I thought was on the hammy side. This is the third loss for “The King’s Speech” as Helena Bonham Carter was nominated in this category. I am now 0 for 3, having picked Hailee Steinfeld for “True Grit.’
