Wednesday, January 04, 2006
In a surprise move, Felicity Huffman earned recognition from the African American Film Critics Assocation as Best Actress for her role as Bree Osbourne in Transamerica. ?¢‚Ǩ?ìIt was the unanimous opinion of our board that her performance in ?¢‚Ǩ?ìTransamerica?¢‚Ǩ¬ù was simply the best performance delivered by an actress this year,?¢‚Ǩ¬ù notes AAFCA President Gil Robertson IV. “Although our organization pays special attention to performances made by African-descended performers, in the end, merit carries the day and Ms. Huffman is undeniably amazing with her performance.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù
