Director Jonathan Demme hasn't had much luck at the Oscars in more than a decade.

He won a trophy for helming "Silence of the Lambs" in 1991, and his "Philadelphia" reaped a best-actor statuette for Tom Hanks, but two of his subsequent — and quite excellent — flicks got snubbed: "Beloved" and his remake of "The Manchurian Candidate."

Now he's debuting "Rachel Getting Married" at the Venice Film Festival in a few weeks and there's already early Oscar buzz for Anne Hathaway's feisty turn as a neurotic who up-ends her sister's nuptials.

Blogger Nathaniel Rogers has been twirling pom-poms and doing handsprings for Hathaway for so long that he's now proudly declaring, "Remember, when Hathaway is walking those carpets: I called this one first." (See more HERE.) Nathaniel was similarly optimistic about "Margot at the Wedding" last year.

And InContention.com does its best to calm down Nathaniel a bit: "I’m not wholly sold on her performance after watching a mere two minutes of entertaining put-downs and progressively more smudged eyeliner."
