"#5: Annette Bening, American Beauty! Lost to: Hilary Swank, Boys Don't Cry!"
"As people reach their middle years of 40 to 50 or so, they start to become fearful of passing time. This is a comprehensible feeling. Problems often start when someone refuses to act their age and tries to appear and act like a younger person. Fear of the passage of time is deeply connected to a fear of nothingness,or a fear of weakness. One may try to handle the problem but when the problem is fought, itโs an already lost battle; the fighter will fall in the abyss of nihilism. Man is nothing"
