Great actress but she got nominated for doing absolutely NOTHING in the film. Shame.

I thought she brought the quiet power of Harper Lee to the role. My favorite scene is when a man inquires about Mockingbird. She confirms everything with a 'yes' in an effort to accelerate - and terminate - the conversation, which I thought was very true to the author's personality. She wasn't into hobnobbing like Capote was.

I LOVE Catherine Keener but I would agree. It is also possible that it was a weak year in the supporting actress category. I also love Helena Bonham Carter but her nomination for The King's Speech was equally not Oscar-worthy.

for doing absolutely NOTHING in the film.
Except that she made Harper Lee IMO, an equally fascinating character as was Capote. I would have loved to have seen more of their relationship, but the film was rightfully focussing on Capote and his work and Keener's was a support role, but a very well deserved nomination.
