I meant that it was a win based on her career and an overdue narrative. There was nothing special about her performance. There were other supporting actresses that year who gave better performances.
It very clearly wasn’t even if you disagree with that win.
And people shitting on Regina King still show that you can literally be THE most acclaimed performance in a category by several miles and still have your win shat on as a ‘lifetime achievement’ win. People saying that, what are you smoking?
Laura Dern. She didn’t deserve to get nominated in the first place. I think she only got nominated and won because her career has been on a hot streak in recent years with Big Little Lies and other projects. It was a lifetime achievement win. Her performance in Marriage Story was so forgettable.
This misconception is baffling and frankly dumb unless you basically didn’t pay attention to that race at all.
When I saw this thread, I knew exactly Frances Mcdormand would be mentioned by you, who posted hate comments in every possible place, and even created a whole thread in the forum trying to dismiss her victory. If she hadn’t won this 3rd win, I doubt she would have been hated so much by some of you now. Ironically, her weakest winning performance was Fargo; instead, you chose her other 2 career-best ones as worst-ever Oscars performances.
I can’t at this Holliday slander. She’s great and her win is deserved, even if she shouldn’t have won against Davis (but she is much better than Swanson).
There’s was a feeling in the air that Hopkins could win this (as well as him being the original frontrunner from the start, before Chadwick moved to Lead).
Colman winning wasn’t really widely regarded as a possibility, so her win is a bigger upset in my book.
