Unfortunately H8ful8 didnt fare well with the box office. The Weinsteins basically, ‘bailed’ on her imo.
I’m glad that new audiences are discovering her, because she can do pretty much anything, play any character, and do it with ease.

Philip K Dick Blade RunnerFebruary 5, 2016 at 10:22 pm #215409Because of awards season group think. You have shady organizations pretty much deciding the winners now and the Academy goes a long with it like lemmings.
In this underwhelming field with 2 frauds I’d vote for JJL in a heartbeat. But sadly voters don’t take risks anymore.
I can’t even believe Vikander is winning for one of the worst “Oscar” movies I’ve seen in years. Just seeing Redmayne in that wig causes me to giggle.

I don’t think Vikander is the lock she’s made out to be. Winslet or Rooney Mara could win and I wouldn’t be remotely surprised. Winslet outshone Fassbender in SJ and Mara is the deserving winner but she doesn’t have the in your face personality like Jennifer Lawrence that the academy seems to love
ReplyCopy URLFebruary 6, 2016 at 7:49 am #215411To answer your question, because she has never played an iconic character. Stallone will always be Rocky Balboa. That helps with your name, sudden recognition and a big xtc.
Why is she not the frontrunner? Well, she could be, but the sad organization named SAG did not see the movie in time to vote, because it seems they’re only interested in watching screeners instead of going to the cinema and enjoy the cinematic experience, and she’s also facing FRAUD LEAD PERFORMANCES IN SUPPORTING such as Mara and Vikander.

For someone who has been churning out great work for a few decades now, she really has deserved getting recognition that is well overdue since her snub for Georgia in 95.
ReplyCopy URLFebruary 8, 2016 at 11:48 am #215415Agreed that nobody thinks Stallone is overdue an Oscar. But he’s an industry veteran (15 years JJL’s senior) who has been very visible and very successful in Hollywood for 4 decades. And he’s finally grown into a role tailor-made for his skills and the public’s nostaliga.
JJL has never made anything resembling a “hit” in Hollywood. She’s got tons of indie cred and has been a critical darling for a long time, but this is AMPAS we’re talking about–they’re less likely to be impressed by that than an icon of Sly’s stature.
