Yet another powerhouse performance from Moore

JUST give Julianne Moore a damn Oscar already. After missing out for roles in Boogie Nights (1997), The End of the Affair (1999), Far From Heaven (2002) and The Hours (2002), she's up for another Best Actress challenge this year with her heartfelt role as a college professor suffering from the effects of early-onset Alzheimer's in the heartwarming family drama, Still Alice.

The 54-year-old is one of Hollywood's best character actors and with yet another winning performance (you won't expect anything less from Moore anyway), there really shouldn't be any reasons for the voters to hold back once again.

Based on a best-selling 2007 novel of the same name by neuroscientist and writer Lisa Genova, and directed and written with more sensitivity than schmaltz by the pair of Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland (Quinceanera), the film takes a heartbreaking look at who the real victims of the disease are - the sufferer or the people around him or her.
