The Finest Actress of Her Generation?

Carey and Rooney Mara are the best of their generation. And both of them are potential Oscar winners this season - for Lead (Suffragette) and Supporting (Carol) Actress 



Rooney Fassbender and Joaquin Blanchett

YES.

I think the following actresses of around her age are right up there with Carey:

Alison Pill
Evan Rachel Wood
Gemma Arterton
Jena Malone
Tatiana Maslany



The Players of The Game are the scum of the earth.

Given this is the worst entertainment era of my existence, perhaps you're right: Mulligan is possibly the best of a bad lot. No, even that seems like too big a stretch. Mulligan runs the gamut from A to A-.

Put puppy mills out of business: never buy dogs from pet shops! 

...runs the gamut from A to A-

Didn't someone say that about Katherine Hepburn once?

No. Dorothy Parker wrote a review of Hepburn in the play The Lake in which she said Hepburn, "runs the gamut of emotions from A to B."

I think I'll have a large order of prognosis negative.

She is very overrated.

I agree, she's a great actress and always puts in terrific performances.
