"In an effort to prove she was more than just a pretty face, Charlize Theron was horribly made up for Monster and dowdily dressed down for North Country, consequently winning an Academy Award for the former and a nomination for the latter." This is sexist. Would you say the same for Robert DeNiro for Raging Bull? Russell Crowe for Master and Commander? And, she was NOT dowdy for North Country; it was a period film (70s?) and she was a miner.
