Can't believe she's never got Oscar nominee or won Golden Globe.


This time, with Boyhood,
she should won Golden Globe,
and also nominated and won Oscar.

I'm very happy that she's finally get recognition, it was too long period.

I really don't want her to win

She has already won over 20 critics awards and will be winning the GG and SAG then the Oscar.

This is about to change. She's won the Golden Globe and very likely to take home the Oscar.

She nailed it in Boyhood. That last scene with her son is going to clinch it. Her character conveyed both vulnerability and strength simultaneously and believably, which is no small feat. This is her year.

All of this is about to change within the next 2 months ;)


We've been waiting for you, Caroline...Waiting for you to believe.

I am overjoyed that her beautiful performance has been doing so well through awards season so far, and I hope that she holds on all the way to the Oscars. It's very rare that such subtle, unshowy work makes it this far - as a rule Oscar-winners for supporting roles are flashy scene-stealers. Other than THAT scene, near the very end of the film, Arquette's work is quiet, honest and oh-so real, and all the more impactful for it. I'm not certain she can win the BAFTA but the SAG award should be an easy get, and that should be enough to clinch the Oscar.

Even before Boyhood, Patricia has done rather well at getting recognized for her work.

She got plenty of Emmy (winning once), SAG and Golden Globe nominations for her work on Medium which I always thought was very well-deserved recognition for an underrated and unshowy role.

Typically a role like that, of an earnest mom and wife who was legit getting psychic visions, would be written off as a joke so its quite wonderful that critics and peers appreciated the subtlety of her performance.

Medium was quite procedural in its format and often formulaic but I always loved that show, and never missed an episode. It had SO much heart. I still get sad sometimes thinking about how it ended.
