Will Anna Paquin unearth an Emmy for her turn in ‘Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee’?
Raise high the roof beams, Hollywood carpenters! Anna Paquin is moving to Los Angeles.
The actress, who at age 11 won a best supporting actress Oscar for her first film, “The Piano,” is nominated for an Emmy for best supporting actress in a miniseries for her turn in HBO’s “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.” Paquin, now 25, will also be starring in Alan Ball’s new show “True Blood,” which was recently picked up by HBO.
“My brother and his fiancé and I all pitched in and bought a place,” Paquin said on a phone call from her current residence in New York. “I’m getting sick of crashing on couches and hotel rooms, so it will be nice to have an actual place.”
Paquin’s talent is unusual. She’s not always likable (she played annoying like nobody’s business in Spike Lee’s “The 25th Hour”), nor always high minded (see “X-Men” I, II and III). But so what? She’s been memorable in nearly everything she’s done.
