You may like those performances more, but they were not going to beat a boxoffice and charisma juggernaut
Obviously nobody was gonna beat Sandra, that’s not what I was saying when you quoted me.
You just hate the white savior character but that doesn’t mean that performance was crap which it wasn’t.
That cheesy ass southern accent says otherwise lollllllllllllll 💀💀💀💀💀 and it’s not just about the white savior character either, she just came off as campy and ridiculous.
Veyr few actresses could be that charismatic. Mulligan certianly not.
Being charismatic =/= giving an Oscar worthy performance. If that were true then The Rock would have five Oscars right now.
She’s highly revered by moviebuffs and awards watchers but general public doesn’t know who she is
PYW has changed that for her and now she’s becoming much more well-known. I get that there is a difference between 2009 and today, but come on.
she’s bland on and off the screen. Good actress but unmemorable presence.
This could not be further from the truth. I mean, just watch interviews with her and you can tell she’s just having the time of her life in every single one. And if she were unmemorable then PYW wouldn’t still be in top 100 trending on IMDb 5 months after the Oscars.

Flee in All Categories (esp. Animated Feature, Documentary Feature, and International Feature)
The Power of the Dog in All Categories (esp. Actor and Adapted Screenplay)She’s been brilliant in quite a few TV shows and movies in the last few years. I think she stayed alive in this business against all odds which is quite fascinating. Maybe she wasn’t given an opportunity to play in another Oscar bait, although that’s not entirely a Gabby Sidibe-phenomenon. If you are not Meryl Streep, it’s just not guaranteed. There are tons of one-hit wonders such as Anna Kendrick, Elliot Page etc.
My point is that she hasn’t been given any opportunities where she’s at the forefront of a project even like those two actresses you mentioned. Anna Kendrick had lead roles on a box office franchise, multiple box office hits and a HBO Max show. Elliot Page has had multiple indie films and a key role on one of the most popular Netflix shows on the planet. Comparatively, Sidibe’s most high profile role was a recurring one on two seasons of American Horror Story.
FYC:
"The Good Fight" and "The Other Two" in all categories.
What’s even worse is the fact that Gabourey hasn’t even been given an opportunity like she was with Precious again.
That is tragic

Save your Mulligan debate for next year, we will have 2021 Best Actress debate remake lol. and if you don’t know already, an actress is charismatic if she can lead a movie which depends on her performance.

The thing is though that with SAG only actors are voting. At BAFTA every branch is voting just like they are in the academy and there is a sizeable crossover between AMPAS and BAFTA members.
The jury system is a fair point but that will not be an issue this year when the two thespians that receive the most votes from the actors branch in each acting category in the nominating stage of voting.
But we can’t ignore that the acting branch is still the largest branch. Something that doesn’t resonate well with the British block could still be better received by the AMPAS. It’s a matter of looking at the whole conjuncture instead of blindly looking at BAFTA.
Tammy Faye seems to have so much buzz right now. I pray it leads to box office success
Laga Gaga for Best Actress.
House of Gucci for best picture.
Belfast for everything - Best Picture win
Pablo Larraín’s #Spencer starring Kristen Stewart currently holds a Rotten Tomatoes score of 90%

Harsh to say this, but Sidibe (probably) suffers a lot from racism within the industry and she’s not the “POC it girl” like… lets say… Halle Berry and Thandie Newton in early 2000s or Zoe Saldana and Zendaya (for current generation).

I think she suffers way more of lookism. She simply won’t be cast in certain roles no matter what. It’s fucked up but sadly true. 🙁

Literally how the mainstream press was covering Sidibe in 09/10
Can talent outweigh size in Hollywood?
“Gabourey Sidibe Is Enormous, Will Never Work Again“ – Howard Stern
Gabourey Sidibe isn’t too fat for Hollywood, she’s too Black.
After Precious, does Hollywood have a place for Gabourey Sidibe?
Will Sidibe’s size limit her career?
Even she herself said back in 2009 she was doubtful of a career because “people look at me and don’t expect a lot“.
Oscars FYC:
"Lamb" – International Feature and all categories
"Summer of Soul" – Picture, Film Editing and Documentary Feature
“The Green Knight” – in all categories
Tammy Faye is down to 58 on MC. It’s yellow. Even “The Last Duel” has a better score right now. Not saying that it’s better or worse, because I haven’t seen either.
