The Jlaw haters still mad nearly 10 years later! LMAO. Her Oscar was rightfully deserved. People forget she was only 21 years old holding her own in scenes with Bob De Niro, chewing scene after scene against Cooper. She killed it. Chastain was indeed excellent, but they picked the right one that year.
Agree. I personally love Chastain, Watts, and Riva more than Lawrence in SLP. I haven’t personally Quvenzhane’s performance or that movie. I also think Keira Knightley is absoutley magnetic in Anna Karenina. But if they gave it to her for The Hunger Games instead of SLP I would have actually been happy. Her performances in those movies are very good. It actually reminds me of her Winter’s Bones days. I feel like she is a much better subtle actress
it’s 2021 y’all
Really don’t mean to be rude, but can we please move on from the Jennifer Lawrence Oscar win discussion? It was talked about on and on last thread and it’s getting boring to read.
Let’s talk about Nightmare Alley instead. What’d everyone think of the trailer, specifically Blanchett? Do we think she’s lead or might she go supporting? Of course it’s too early to tell but I’m very interested in everyone’s thoughts.
If Blanchett is supporting, then Searchlight will focus on Jessica Chastain.

I hope im wrong but I assume Blanchett may go supporting. I’ll be fine if they Submit Mara in lead, though
FYC-Nightmare Alley in All Categories (Best Picture, Guillermo Del Toro for Best Director, Bradley Cooper for Best Actor, Cate Blanchett for Best Actress, Rooney Mara for Best Supporting Actress, Richard Jenkins for Best Supporting Actor)
FYC-Last Night in Soho (Edgar Wright for Best Director, Thomasin McKenzie for Best Actress, Anya Taylor Joy for Best Supporting Actress, Edgar Wright and Krysty Wilson Cairns for Best Original Screenplay)
Carol 2 looks great darling… I hope Collette, Dafoe both get noms and even wins. About time these great actors get their deserved oscars!
The thing about Blanchett is she clearly looks supporting but then why is her character mentioned in the official synopsis?
GD can never handle any mainstream/blockbuster actress winning an Oscar over their indie/auteur contender from some $5 indie movie that nobody has heard of.
The way people pretend to have passion for Chastain’s Zero Dark Thirty performance just because they don’t like JLAW’S win is hilarious. Chastain is great but you guys are the only ones who think that performance was one of the most memorable ever.
This discussion concerning which of Lawrence or Chastain was more deserving is, quite frankly, redundant, because Emmanuelle Riva shat on both of them and every other nominee that year.
FYC:
Picture: Nomadland
Director: Chloe Zhao
Leading Actress: Frances McDormand
Leading Actor: Anthony Hopkins
Supporting Actress: Youn Yuh-jung
Supporting Actor: Daniel Kaluuya
Adapted Screenplay: The Father
Original Screenplay: Promising Young WomanIf Blanchett is supporting, then Searchlight will focus on Jessica Chastain.
I think it will depend on how strong a chance Collette and Mara have. If they have strong chances then Searchlight is going to keep Blanchett in lead. If they don’t then they will move her to supporting and focus on Chastain.
I hadn’t considered the possibility (mainly because Chastain’s film doesn’t seem like it will be a strong contender outside of potential noms for her and the film’s makeup) but I am starting to wonder if they could get both in. They did get Colman and McCarthy in although the latter of course was in a stronger film than Chastain is (that being said McCarthy, although great, never had the raves Chastain has).
If they do both get in then I wonder who is bumped out. It’s hard to see Colman miss as Netflix’s (likely) number one priority and Cruz and Stewart have undeniable raves (and the latter is in a possible picture nominee).

"CODA" – in all categoriesRooney will most likely have the most screentime out of the ladies but she has the worst role. Toni has a better role but she won’t be in it for long beyond the beginning. I have her in but eh it’s kinda just because of a 100/1 at this point
her get up looks atrocious too. Tbh without Blanchett, NA can be totally skunked across both supporting categories. It would be wiser to send Cate down to supporting where she can actually be win competitive because the others won’t be and might miss overall.The way people pretend to have passion for Chastain’s Zero Dark Thirty performance just because they don’t like JLAW’S win is hilarious.

It was an amazing performance. Subtle, precise, and exquisite. She deserved to win, but that smear campaign was too much.

I actually think that was a fairly weak year. That’s primarily why I don’t resent Lawrence’s win. Her performance was fine. The movie and her character were weak though. ZDT is a borderline great movie, and Chastain was good in it. But I’m cool with that performance not winning. Riva was easily the best of the bunch. But an old lady who’s mostly unknown in the US in a foreign movie is not gonna win in the leading category. So, overall I’m fine with Lawrence’s victory. Certainly not one of the few best of the nominees though. Emma Stone’s win I find a bit more irritating as far as a popular actress winning for a semi mainstream/hit movie.

I’ll be more than happy to keep pretending I have passion for Chastain’s Zero Dark Thirty performance except…
…I do actually have passion for her win worthy performance that year
