Only she should have won for "Gifted." And unlike 2nd place, Saoirse, Mckenna will not only have a few Oscars in her future, she's going to have a few Emmys as well as she's already been robbed for "The Haunting of Hill House" and stealing every scene she's in in her "Young Sheldon" guest spots.John from Daejeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431973044799010218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-60484746994767280122020-09-13T15:26:45.483-05:002020-09-13T15:26:45.483-05:00Chastain is probably a miss.

That said, first place is always going to be Ronan--it's one of those moments where the casting is so good that I can't imagine it any other way.<br /><br />I like the Sally Hawkins nomination a lot, although the movie she was really robbed on was <i>Happy-Go-Lucky</i>.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-51633467569254772862020-09-11T23:41:24.118-05:002020-09-11T23:41:24.118-05:00Jessica Chastain not being nominated is bullshit. ...Jessica Chastain not being nominated is bullshit. She was great in <i>Molly's Game</i> though I probably would've voted for Saoirse Ronan as well as she just killed it. Nothing against Frances McDormand but I would've gone with Ronan or Sally Hawkins. What about Vicky Krieps for <i>Phantom Thread</i>, Anya Taylor-Joy and Olivia Cooke for <i>Thoroughbreds</i>, Salma Hayek for <i>Beatriz at Dinner</i>, Margaret Qualley for <i>Novitiate</i>, Danielle MacDonald for <i>Patti Cake$</i>, and Jessica Rothe for <i>Happy Death Day</i>? I would've put them in consideration along with Charlize Theron, Emma Stone, and Rooney Mara. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-23359826037057067352020-09-11T21:18:10.122-05:002020-09-11T21:18:10.122-05:00Honestly, I would reserve judgment until you see L...Honestly, I would reserve judgment until you see <i>Lady Bird</i>. Ronan is perfect in every moment of that movie.<br /><br />Watch it and come back to this post. I have very little doubt she'd be your clear choice of the nominees at the very least.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-12450568615201042202020-09-11T20:42:33.488-05:002020-09-11T20:42:33.488-05:00I haven't seen Lady Bird but my answer to who ...I haven't seen Lady Bird but my answer to who should win this out of this lineup is none of the above even though I think all of the other four women, and Ronan too for that matter, are fine actresses. <br /><br />I enjoyed The Post the most of all of these films but Meryl's performance while up to her usual standard is neither impactful nor fleshed out enough to rate her being here. <br /><br />Emma Stone was good in Battle of the Sexes but the movie was so messy it hurt her ability to build her take on Billie Jean King into someone with enough clarity to remain in voter's memories. <br /><br />Speaking of messy movies I can't even begin to state how deeply I detested mother! It was such a vile piece of swill any performance in it was instantly wiped from my memory. I wish I could say the same for the whole thing. <br /><br />I agree that Jessica Chastain is a big miss, and one that I think shows that her time in the Academy's good graces may have passed unless she does something really extraordinary. <br /><br />My vote would have gone to another Oscar bridesmaid Annette Bening for her portrait of Gloria Grahame nearing the end of her life in Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.com
