This is the second time I’ve seen someone suggest that the passion for Hsu and her character only comes from the writing or the movie (I saw someone say this on Twitter as well). Couldn’t it be possible that Hsu did a phenomenal job with the material and fans recognize this and want her along for the awards ride? What is the root of this cynicism? You don’t have to like Hsu’s performance, but I’m very certain Hsu’s performance had a lot to do with why the role is so well-received. No need to undercut something as simple as this.
Pretty sure no one said “only” but “mostly”. Because if EEATO is not our fav and is not among the top BP contenders rn, will this passion for Hsu and her performance still appear now on Film Twitter? The opposite case is exactly Quan and Yeoh, whose performances are simply outstanding and can survive films with mixed reviews.
Hsu is definitely great and the best supporting actress in EEATO, but it’s a typical case where the film itself and our love toward it help the actor/actress more than his/her own performance does when it comes to getting an Oscars nom. Come on… if her performance is undeniably remarkable, we don’t even need this talk and she would have been like Yeoh and Quan, taking noms & wins within expectation.

I had it 2nd, behind Decision to Leave. I had a feeling it was being underestimated and I was right.

My NGNG pick came true! Gutted I forgot these were happening today and didn’t put a super bet on it.
Happening was doing quite well with American film critics prior to recent socio-politically relevant real life developments so I thought the emotional relevance behind it (alongside the fact that it’s a critically acclaimed and very good movie) would help it triumph. Curious to see how it might play with the critics awards now!

Are they not allowed to highlight her entire career?
