Viola Davis isn’t a bad win in terms of quality of performance BUT I still don’t forgive her for dropping down to supporting and stealing Michelle Williams’ Oscar. If that isn’t the definition of an outstanding supporting performance, I don’t know what is.
And it wasn’t even worth it because Viola’s overdue narrative isn’t even over! Now there’s this prevailing notion that she has to win a lead Oscar for some reason. If she had gone for Fences, she either would have won that or won down the line for something else.

Viola was lead in Fences. But to say she gave one of the worst performances ever is reaching.
As far as Lupita is concerned, that was a star making, heart wrenching, emotional, tour de force. Yet that’s an all-time worst performance? Hmm some things ARE adding up. 🤔

Then I wouldn’t have thought so, but just a year later, Patricia Arquette managed to top (or rather bottom) Nyongo with an even more unconvincing, amateurish, terribly executed performance. And she swept!
After those two horror tropes, it was just year after year of just underwhelming performances being rewarded. Really makes you really wonder why this category even exists.

If that was a non-Black actress portraying a woman whose been beaten, raped, & abused, some of you would’ve called it a master class. Let’s keep it real.
The “soap” & whipping scenes were amateurish? GTFOH.

Michelle Williams will definitely win a lead actress Oscar pretty soon.

2. Margaret Rutherford (absolutely forgettable, a slightly bumbling old lady role, sits in an airport)
3. Alicia Vikander (obvious, bland acting and a hideous case of category fraud; her generic take on this amazing role is what allowed it to seem more “supporting”)
4. Geena Davis (I wish it wasn’t so, but in that movie all she does is act cutesy, it’s not very funny, not very emotional, not very insightful)
5. Jennifer Hudson (clearly amateur when she’s not singing and even then she fails to convey a full scope of personality or devastation; plus it’s another category fraud case)
6. Allison Janney (caricature performance, moderately amusing but not as much as Melissa Leo’s similar turn from the same decade; Janney fails to make the role as haunting as it should have been and feels inauthentic to both the time period and the character’s physical state)
