Amy Adams to get another Oscar nom?

By Will Reynolds / June 25, 2011

Amy Adams received an Oscar nomination last year for her turn in indie drama JUNEBUG and I've been surprised that we've not seen more of her since. JUNEBUG was last year's HALF NELSON: both films had startling turns from young actors that lifted the so so movies they were in - without Adams or Ryan Gosling's performances nobody would've batted an eyelid. Adams' latest turn (in ENCHANTED, a movie I thought would be the usual Disney fluff), is meant to be so good there's some buzz going around La La town that she may receive an Oscar nomination. Hollywood Elsewhere got the lowdown from a Tinseltown producer:

"The movie is a very well-conceived, well-made product straddling the po-mo Pixar style and the throwback Walt-era tropes," says HE's source. "But Adams gives an incredibly complex, detailed performance that it makes the movie seem almost literary -- there is a scene when her character first feels anger that brings to mind John Milton. The movie will be gigantic and will make Adams a worldwide household name."

The trailer for ENCHANTED is below and it looks like the movie may have something of a subversive streak running throughout. SHREK did this first but it's nice to see Disney trying to break with formula.
