In his December 7, 2003 review of the film "Monster," respected film critic, Roger Ebert proclaimed that Ms. Theron's performance in the film's lead role was one of the greatest performances in the history of film. Ebert added that if she did not win the Oscar for best actress, then the award should be cancelled.
