It’s actually a genuinely incredible performance. She pulls off genuinely insane situations naturally and with so much heart. She deserves to win the Oscar IMO. Take the Borat of it all out of the equation, she is sort of the anti-Borat.
I saw the parts with Giuliani as I was curious and she portrayed her character quite convincingly. But was she so good that she deserves the award? Not sure as I also haven’t seen the performances of the other nominated actresses.
The scene with Giuliani doesn't even really come close to the other work she did in the film. I don't want to spoil it, but she has other scenes that are far more emotional, and her storyline is great. Plus she did it all while trying to convince people that she was who she said she was. I definitely think she deserves the Oscar.
I'm rooting for yuh-jung youn but I won't be mad if bakalova wins. she stayed natural in the most insane of situations and she had a surprisingly tender character arc too lol - IMO borat 2 was better than the first one and the emotional center that she provides is the main reason.
