    I have to say as brilliant as Natalie Portman was in her role, Mila held her own and pulled out a great supporting performance. Congrats on what will be her first Oscar nomination for best supporting actress come January 25, 2011.

    when she started talking about her upbringing i wanted to cry. so many people dont realise how hard she's worked and how much she's been through to get where she is today, with award nominations and such. she is beautiful and she deserves every ounce of success she receives.

    I love how she brings up her upbringing. My family also comes from communistic USSR Soviet Union Armenia at the time no money was allowed to be brought to America. So we literally came here without a single word of english no money in our pockets worked our way up parents worked a bunch of menial minimum wage jobs. I feel her

    Mila Kunis did her part very well- down to being believable from San Francisco. She looked so much more like a ballet dancer in movie- not so much in real life. it amazes me how the film achieves this. it's the incredible challenge of acting- that transforms actors.

    Let's be real: she got incredibly lucky. Her parents made unbelievable sacrifices and she just so happened to be a naturally beautiful girl with a warm, charismatic personality. Her actual talent is marginal. Sure, she trains hard for some roles, but she's getting paid tens of millions of dollars to do it. If only I could get paid millions to work out, act like myself on screen, and just exist, because I'm beautiful. Hollywood is little more than a beauty and popularity contest. It's the most shallow world there is. At least you know a beauty pageant is shallow, whereas Hollywood offers a dishonest veil of legitimacy through the "art" of acting. But Hollywood doesn't prioritize acting talent, rather fantasy, and cheap entertainment. It's so sad that most actors out there with true talent never get discovered and barely earn a living.

    She literally works hard for every role she’s ever had. Not just a few, and yes maybe the payment and rewards prior are her first bit of motivation, but you can’t deny she’s always been very hardworking and stern. Hollywood isn’t as bad as you think, saying that lightly of course. What I’m saying is that every single actor or artist has a different experience than another every time.
