I still haven't figured out how she even managed to be nominated for an Oscar for that role.
And I agree also about what you said as personality over ability. I have to admit even though I said Paul and Jess are aweful, from what I've seen of them else where, they seem like two of the nicest people in Hollywood.
But its called ACTING. Not Mr. Personality
And I think most of the time crappy actors are only cast cause they look good, not cause they're nice. There are plenty of other crappy actors who have major egos AND they can't act... they just look hot.
I think most of the time people cast in this order:
Looks
Acting
Personality
And then there is usually some combo in there that sets so and so apart from the rest.
