Achilles. Posted February 23 Posted February 23 The Actress winners of the past decade have faired better than the Actor winners. 2023: Murphy (too soon to tell but like…) 2022: Fraser is a talentless flop 2021: Smith ruined his crowning moment with poor conduct 2020: Hopkins is 87 and churning out as much as he can in his final years 2019: Phoenix tarnished his win with a box office bomb sequel and ruined his standing with indie film community 2018: Malek was panned in Bond and has done nothing else of note save for an Oppenheimer cameo 2017: Oldman scored a followup nomination and had an Oppenheimer cameo, but is otherwise fully committed to his (great) television series 2016: Affleck has had at least one film out per year since his win but has been totally irrelevant (probably due to his personal scandal?) Like where are the MOVIE STARS? 2
Kylizzle Posted February 23 Posted February 23 1 hour ago, OnlyManInTheWorld said: Olivia Colman is the biggest SMASH, she's been everywhere since her victory. Literally everywhere. Kate Winslet had Divergent, Steve Jobs and Mare from Easttown, she didn't feel less to me but I get your point. Renee is smashing with Bridget Jones now. She was absent for most of the time after her wins though. I'd say Hillary Swank, Alicia Vikander and Brie Larson are the biggest bombs. Jennifer Lawrence also didn't impress. I don't have the numbers in front of me but doesn't Brie have the highest box office of the lineup? Her filmography is just trash but she didn't bomb necessarily. 19 minutes ago, supaspaz said: People are selling J. Law short. She followed up her win by headlining movies that topped the year-end box office and earning two more nominations. Plus she gave us Mother! Sure, she slowed down the last few years as she got married and had a child. But the leggy success of No Hard Feelings shows there's still an appetite for her at her best. I think she'll be around for the long haul. She already had Hunger Games on lock pre-Oscar win. After that, she was an it girl for two years but quickly faded and her David O. Russell films are not fondly remembered. I am rooting for her momentum to continue though, don't get me wrong.

I think she'll be around for the long haul. She was the most in-demand actress for a few years after her oscar win. It's historical revisionism to claim she didn't make the most out of the situation. And you can't even call her a marvel type sellout, cause she was already liked to Hunger Games franchise before her win (and the success of franchise is strongly carried by popularity) + she sacrificed it all for Mother!
Vermillion Posted February 23 Posted February 23 How the flying **** is Reese Witherspoon being questioned here? She sold her production company, Hello Sunshine, to Candle Media in August 2021 for $900 million. If she chose not to continue pursuing acting so be it This forum never ceases to amaze me 5
Vermillion Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Also going to put it out on record now that I agree with the critics stating that if Demi loses to Mikey or Fernanda, it's because of the last 20 minutes of The Substance. There's still a lot of stodgy folks on the Academy, despite some good developments in recent years. 2
levi_valvi Posted February 23 Posted February 23 It's kinda amazing how ScarJo managed to have the most successful acting career of her generation without ever winning an Oscar 2

Which makes it all the more remarkable that Natalie Portman swept the way she did for Black Swan (which I do consider horror).

Follow up nomination for Danish Girl and decent precursor showing for Good Nurse, Tony nomination and Olivier win for Cabaret, led a tentpole franchise and escaped unscathed despite its tankage, getting nominated across the board for his new tv show McConaughey, Firth, Penn, Bridges: very active post-win, but definitely peaked before it DiCaprio and Day Lewis are highly inactive—3 films and 1 film post win, respectively—but all 4 of those films were BP nominees and both got a followup nomination Dujardin's a foreigner so he's kinda irrelevant to the discussion. Whitaker is an icon who works constantly, had a decent precursor showing for Butler and turns up from time to time in major films like Arrival or Black Panther. Nothing to scoff at considering the challenges of being a minority in Hollywood. Edited February 23 by Achilles. 1 1

Yeah, my feeling after watching it was that she needed a monologue summing up the themes of the film before the bloodbath began. It could have been written as a PSA about the substance. She can still win without it, but that would've made it a slamdunk. I also worry that she may just be too tarnished as a "bad actress" because of all those Razzie nominations through the years. 16 minutes ago, levi_valvi said: It's kinda amazing how ScarJo managed to have the most successful acting career of her generation without ever winning an Oscar Becoming an A list star through box office success and blockbusters then winning the Oscar for a more conventional bait later on is actually kinda the norm. Trust she'll get it someday. Edited February 23 by Achilles. 1

levi_valvi Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Did not expect the Hello Sunshine founder to have so many shooters in here. I'll let the Dua Lipa base know that book club success apparently is to be regarded as career success, I'm sure they'll rejoice

But at that point of the film she had already shown why she deserves to win so hopefully those last 20 minutes don't hurt her chances that much Spoiler I was so mad when Sue killed her like that. The movie was so amazing until that part and then those final minutes in that new year program. 1
