Natalie Portman's Black Swan Dancing Controversy Continues — Do You Care If She Performed Her Own Moves?

Black Swan's leading lady, Natalie Portman, swept award season with an Oscar, Golden Globe, and a SAG for her work in the ballet thriller.

Black Swan's leading lady, Natalie Portman, swept award season with an Oscar, Golden Globe, and a SAG for her work in the ballet thriller. Natalie's been lying low in NYC since the excitement wrapped up last month, but now the actress is back in the spotlight. She's in the middle of a controversy over how much of the movie she actually danced in after her body double claimed to have performed most of the technical scenes. Her fiancé, Benjamin Millepied, and director Darren Aronofsky have both come to Natalie's defense. and now her costar, Mila Kunis, has spoken up to say Natalie "danced her a*s off." Natalie clearly put in plenty of hard work, but we want to know — do you even care if she performed her own moves?

During Jonathan Ross' opening speech at the BAFTAs tonight, he explained that during the night a winner would be read out and "whichever member of the cast or crew of The King's Speech that has won" would come up to the stage and collect the award.

Natalie Portman looked beautiful wearing a teal, empire waist dress and red satin pumps in the interview room at yesterday's 83rd Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon in LA. The expecting and engaged best actress nominee was quick to remind people what awards season is really all about, though, when one reporter asked what she might wear to the Oscars. "It’s certainly all about leaving space for growth, but is always surprising, also, that that’s become the conversation instead of the movies now: what you are wearing."

Talk soon turned to Natalie's critically acclaimed work when an Oscars fan on Facebook asked why she chose her Black Swan role. "I think I was really drawn to the world of dance itself. I always just thought it such a compelling expression through movement not through words," she said. "There's something very internal and true about dance as a mode of expression, and this character finding her artistic voice was something I was really interested by, where men are the directors and women are the stars in a very controlled way. So to find this woman kind of breaking out of that was very interesting to me."

Jim Carrey

Watch Jim Carrey Dance the Black Swan on SNL

Well I guess now we know why Jim Carrey was so concerned about slimming down for Saturday Night Live.

Well I guess now we know why Jim Carrey was so concerned about slimming down for Saturday Night Live. The actor squeezed into a leotard and tutu to show off his best ballet moves for a skit mocking Black Swan this weekend. The movie is rife for parody from the in-your-face symbolism to the sexual overtones; I'm actually kind of surprised that it's taken SNL this long to poke fun at Aronofsky's film. Then again, few could pull off these moves the way Carrey can. Mila Kunis, eat your heart out.
