Drew Barrymore

I have loved Drew Barrymore ever since I was little. Movies like "Never Been Kissed," "The Wedding Singer," and "50 First Dates" are a blast, and it's mainly because of how likable she is. With "Grey Gardens" earlier this year, she proved that she could step outside of her normal roles and take on an extremely challenging part. The result was an incredible performance that would have been nominated for an Oscar had the film been released in theaters.
Last evening, Drew Barrymore was nominated for an Emmy for her performance in "Grey Gardens." I must say that I am EXTREMELY disappointed that she lost. Now, I am glad that Jessica Lange won, because she was awesome in the movie as well. I just really wanted to see Barrymore win a major award. Talk about someone who turned her life around and proved that she can truly act and play any part.
Let's just say that I'm psyched for her directorial debut, "Whip It!"
