Academy Award winner Natalie Portman is admired by many for her phenomenal acting in Black Swan, but her friend and co-star, Greta Gerwig, who co-starred with Portman in No Strings Attached, is praising her for another reason. “I think if everything else she does in her life is an indication of what a great mom she’ll make, she’s going to be the best mom in the world,” Gerwig told People Saturday at the Film Independent’s Spirit Awards.  “She’s a lovely girl to pal around with. It’s been really great to know her.”  Gerwig was nominated for Best Actress at the Independent Spirit Awards against Portman, and although she knew her odds of winning were slim, she was thrilled with her nomination.
