Sally Hawkins is up for an Oscar. I am very happy about this, because she’s a very cool person and an immensely talented actress, and even if I’m not as crazy about Blue Jasmine as the rest of the critical world, Hawkins holds her own against Cate Blanchett just fine.

Anyway, with Blue Jasmine arriving on disc today, I chatted with Hawkins about her work in the film, and this other little thing she’s doing, for MSN Movies. Read it, it’s nice.
