"There's Tobey Maguire, Oscar nominee and Golden Globe winner Natalie Portman, BAFTA winner
and Oscar nominee Jake Gyllenhaal, Oscar nominee Sam Shepard, Oscar nominee Mare Winningham and current awards season "it" girl for "An Education" Carey Mulligan.
Carey Mulligan and Maggie Gyllenhaal at "An Education" N.Y. premiere on 6th October 2009."Due to his strong performance, Maguire's name undoubtedly will start popping up on Best Actor lists. Oddly, Sheridan says Maguire was doubtful of his own acting in this role, though he remained dedicated to the film's message. Portman is good as well, and 10-year-old Bailee Madison, as their young daughter, Isabelle, is remarkable in every way, one of the most natural and effective child performances in a long while.
He also talked at length about two scenes that are sure to be remembered. One is a pivotal moment between Maguire and his friend (Patrick Flueger) after they are captured by the Taliban. The other is an incredibly intense dinner table scene after he returns home. Without giving too much away, let's just say it centers on Madison and a balloon.
"From my experience growing up with my own family every night, I know a lot about dinners and creating tension", Sheridan said to much laughter in the audience". Source: latimesblogs.latimes.com
