Fact check: Winona Ryder wasn’t nominated for an Oscar for “The Crucible.” Although she was nominated twice, for “The Age of Innocence” and “Little Women.”

She doesn’t “shop” she steals.

I, too, hate the acronym “Lol” but Winona is so wrong about the state of mental health institutions it’s laughable. People are held against their will for the most minor of transgressions ALL THE TIME.

“… an impeccable arthouse film starring Robin Wright Penn, Blake Lively and Keanu Reeves. “

I can’t wait to see how badly this go down. Penn, Reeves, and Ryder joining forces with the Burger King face from Gossip Girl and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants? This is going to be sublime.

so now we can add liar to her resume. winona seems a bit delusional as well.
most blogs are talking about the fact that winona is a basket case and that ANGELINA did thank her at the oscars. it’s on youtube for petesakes.

This magazine has style.

I’ve seen the film a few times, and each time my eye

what she has to say.

Don’t blame Winona, the tone of this catty piece is ALL the interviewer’s (Nick Haramis).
.
If you doubt, do a Google search on ‘Corner Bistro Incident.’ He’s a petty little liar of a man as evidenced by that shameful episode.
.
He also seems to be a misogynist. Ryder seems to come across as slightly emotionally disturbed, and this isn’t the first time he’s attempted to slyly punch Angelina Jolie in the head.
.
“Brother kissing maneater with chaise lounge lips,” is how he is claiming the media saw Jolie, and thus in an effort to play her up ‘reduced Ryder to scorned actress.’ That’s a nice fairy tale, but in terms of what actually occurred back then it’s a falsehood.  I was around then, and I recall Jolie’s win, moreover I recall her reputation at the time, and it was as an ‘actor’s actor.’ She had won multiple high profile acting accolades and had done The Bone Collector with Denzel Washington that same year.
.
Not to mention having ‘Gia,’ under her belt (the award laden drama about supermodel Gia Carangi who died of AIDS) - but more importantly, the salacious insulting tabloid descriptives he uses for Jolie, ‘brother kissing,’ and ‘maneater, hadn’t even come to the fore.
.
She was a 21 or 22 yr old, and had been married since she was 19 to Johnny Lee Miller. This was pre-Pitt and pre Thornton. Man-eating who? Her husband?
.
Goading Ryder into some b*tchy moment regarding Jolie, is typical of Haramis’ character.

By the way, am glad to see thousands coming out of the woodwork, much like with what happened re the Corner Bistro Incident and putting Haramis on blast for getting it wrong, per his usual. Google and Youtube are your friend Mr. Haramis. Jolie did thank Ryder, apparently a couple of times. Moreover Ryder has proclaimed several times she liked Jolie and wished she could have gotten to know her better, but understood the process being what it was (protagonist vs antagonist in the film) may have prevented that.

kbrock:

Thank you for the follow up comment.

For example, I found that the article confirmed my
impressions of Ms Ryder:  An interesting woman,
with a high I.Q. and emotional intelligence to
match.
