Salma Hayek's performance in the film Frida earned her an Oscar nomination, and it's easy to see why. Based on the life of well-known Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, Hayek performs flawlessly and with ease. Like the artist's paintings, she brings a bright touch to the film and embodies Kahlo's bold and defiant spirit.
