James has taste!! I'd second his picks.

I also love Neve Campbell in Scream, SMG in both Scream 2 and IKWYDLS, and Rebecca Hall in The Night House.

Yess Rebecca Hall! Such a great movie.

Toni Collette

Is there a Vulture Fantasy league team going on for ONTD?

It’s funny Mia picking Shelley Duvall cause a lot of people mention her looking similar.

Florence should’ve gotten a BA nom and win hor Midsommar!

It's so annoying how ignored horror films are in terms of awards recognition. Florence was absolutely incredible. Same with Toni Collette in Hereditary. Not winning is one thing, but not even being nominated is a joke.

[genbu_no_miko24]

Yeah there's a few good genre films/performances that at least deserved a nomination!

Piper Laurie in Carrie

Mark Duplass in Creep/Creep 2 (Can’t wait for the 3rd one! This dude plays psycho so well.)

Vera Farmiga in those Conjuring movies. Like yes, the series is mid but miss thing’s screams in these movies are fantastic. Literal scream queen lol.

*Their all gonna laugh at you😭* also whenever someone around me screws up something “Go to your closet and pray for forgiveness”

Vera Farmiga in Orphan too
