Keira Knightley is one of the brightest, young Hollywood stars, and she was sweet and thoughtful!

She received her first Best Actress Oscar nomination for "Pride and Prejudice," and now, she's back with director Joe Wright and the creative team from "Prejudice" and they made a searing book-to-film adaptation of Ian McEwan's heartbreaking novel.

Keira talks about:

*** her character, Cecilia Tallis
*** why she made the film
*** what Saoirse Ronan, the young Briony Tallis, thinks of her

It was a pleasure meeting Miss Vanessa!

She's smart, brilliant, and insightful!

Here's my interview with her as she talks about:

*** why she made the film "Atonement"
*** the transition of her character from 13-years old to a dying writer atoning for her sins
*** why she cried her eyes out

"Atonement" is one of the best films this year!

Here's my interview with James McAvoy about:

*** why he chose to do the film
*** his character, Robbie Turner

HAVE FUN!!!

Well I'll be darned, for the first time in years, the Golden Globes actually got it right!

WOW!

I love my "Atonement" so it's quite nice that the film is getting love from the Globes!

If you notice, there are seven best picture nominees! That's a testament that this year, there are many great films, and not one leading the pack, which makes for an exciting awards season!

One upset though -- neither Tommy Lee Jones nor Josh Brolin was nominated from "No Country for Old Men."

But don't put too much stock on the Globes. Keep in mind, this was the award-giving body who gave Pia Zadora a Best Actress award!!!

The Golden Globes is going to be telecast live on NBC, Sunday, January 13th, at 8pm!!!

The power of words and how we use them to inspire and inflict pain are explored in the new film “Atonement.” Based on the beloved novel by Ian McEwan, the storyteller is a writer whose wild imagination causes tragedy to her loved ones, and the film shows us how she uses words to atone for the sins of her childhood.
