ONTD Original: When the Academy Awards the Wrong Performance from an Actor

[madamezuzu]

Don't you just hate when politics gets involved in your award shows and RUINS it all? Have you ever seen an actor give a performance so amazing, so life altering, only for them to go home empty handed come award season? Have you seen the same actor get awarded either the next year or twenty years later and the role is the epitome of "her?" Well,

Nicole absolutely murdered the Hours and deserved that Oscar I haven't even gotten through the rest of this list bc I'm about to faint at reading that

All the ladies in the Hours were incredible lbr. I thought Julianne Moore was the standout tho.

[blanchedavidian]

They should have all gotten awards, they were all so good. Every time I see that movie is streaming someplace, I get super excited then I remember how depressing it is and I'm like... Let's put on some comedy

[raffriff]

I get sucked in terrible rabbit holes and I find out depressing facts about Vanessa Bell’s daughter etc

[bellwetherr]

this is why i think the oscars should do an ensemble award tbh like the sags

[blanchedavidian]

I don't understand why they don't! Also a lot of behind the scenes stuff, like casting and shit? Why aren't they awarding that!!

[bellwetherr]

yeah i really feel like they need a category overhaul

ia, it was the first movie I had seen of hers and I still remember the train station scene very well.

[blanchedavidian]

Me too!!! I haven't seen it in years and I can recall that scene vividly. I had seen maybe two of her movies before but thought she was kind of a frivolous actress, The Hours made me NOTICE her.

The Hours is one of the worst movies i've ever seen. Deserves nothing tbh
