Best actress observations...

Posted by musetap on February 22, 2019 at 21:50:27:
Don't care much about the Oscars, but my wife digs them and we both love movies.

So, we'll be watching as I try to stay awake.

Watched "The Wife", "Can You Ever Forgive Me", and "The Favourite" this week.

Close is acting, aware she's acting and pretty sure she's doing a good job of it -but she gets nominated
for her 10 minute (or so) "LOOK AT ME ACT!" scene.

She only plays her character for maybe 60% of the time in a film which is just plain shitty, very predictable,
cliche riddled, and has an extraordinarily stereotypical script.

If you've seen the movie, HE wrote it when SHE should have.

The Favourite is marvelous. Top notch acting, love the camera work and set designs
and the soundtrack is superb.

All three leads deserve nominations (though only OC got the BA nomination).

Melissa McCarthy is FANTASTIC in CYEFM, nuanced and comfortable and she IS the character.

Fun, touching and nicely done film all around. She's my choice for the award - (like I have a say in the matter).
But it's far from a romantic, sexy, glamorous or even appealing role, so atypical of Hollywood standards for women.

Yalitza Aparicio was solid in Roma, but she doesn't stand a chance to win.
She DOES have her career AHEAD of her, unlike Close, whose career is mostly
behind her.

If Close gets the golden guy it would seem a shame.
