I’m a huge fan of Michelle Williams and have longed for her to win an Oscar for many years. Do you think she’ll ever find herself a winner? What kind or project should she tackle to get herself into the winners circle?

Won’t happen.

She’s a great actress; one of the best of her generation. Oscar voters usually like loud, transformative roles so she’ll likely win when she takes on one of those. And Williams is fine in MBTS, but the role is super slight. She has about seven minutes of screen time over a 139 minute movie. There’s a reason the Spirit Awards snubbed her. I doubt she wins the Oscar if nominated.

With Bening and possibly Huppert in the category there’s no point to give Viola the boost when they can award these overdue vets in BA.

Quoting myself from a previous thread:
[This is] not a good comparison because Winslet’s supporting campaign looked ridiculous even to the most casual observer; she was first-billed, there was no other actor in the film with a lead campaign, and everyone thought of The Reader as a “Kate Winslet movie”. The whole thing just seemed wrong, even more so than other recent category frauds like Mara and Vikander last year, because they had co-stars campaigning in lead to distract voters from their dubious category placement. Fences has a huge Lead Actor contender in Denzel Washington, and by many accounts Viola’s role is truly supporting. Oscar voters are extremely unlikely to contradict the FYC ads in this case.

She’s a phenomenal screen actress – she has that translucent quality about her that makes a movie star, and she always manages to capture the essence of her role while being incredibly touching and relatable. Saw her on Broadway and the magic wasn’t there, but my dog does she shine on the silver screen.
