Or if you can’t pick one, your top three. My top three are: Black Swan, Jackie, and Closer. She was also good in Annihilation, particularly in the scene towards the end with the alien that mimicked her.

Black Swan.

One of the best performances of all time.

Have a great day if you see this!

I go back and forth between Black Swan and Jackie. Both are two of the best performances this century.

Jackie
Song to Song (sue me)
Black Swan

haven’t seen Closer for quite a while, not sure whether I should put it up here, but she deserved to win that year for sure

Black Swan is GOAT.

Unpopular opinion: she was great in Star Wars.#justice4padme

Why do you prefer Closer over Jackie and Black Swan? And for those of you that prefer Black Swan over Jackie or vice versa, what are your reasons?

For me, it’s easily JACKIE.

She should have again won for Jackie. It’s just cringe when you deliver a masterclass and a cute mediocre actress wins her career award instead and you make her performance look like a performance in a Disney channel movie.

There’s no greater performance than Portman in Black Swan in Actress category. However, Jackie would have been a worthy second win.

I understand why Stone won. She was Goop to Portman’s Blanchett. Charming, charismatic role in a big boxoffice hit. But unlike Goop, Stone keeps coming back (as a nominee) and will likely win again cause she is an actress not an Internet schemer.

This seems like a Portman-praise thread, but this comparison stings my eyes.

Pretense that Portman wasn’t as magnificent in Jackie as Blanchett was in Elizabeth. At least Portman didn’t follow Jackie with Jackie Golden Ham.
