Her oscar win was a joke!


she was the weakest contender that year,with proves that the oscar is just politics.
She is big name thanks to the hollywood studios who need a big name for the blockbusters and oscar baits,she is overrated and always over the top in her roles.Glenn Close,Amy Adams and Naomi Watts are far better actresses and they never won a oscar,that is a shame.

Anybody agree with me?

Oh my god, aint you all tired of this "she/he didn't deserve the Oscar" stuff every time something good happens to an actor/actress? Like even if they didn't deserve it can we do something now? No! So regardless of your opinion, accept it! You can't do anything about it! The academy will not consider your opinion and obviously their Oscar wins are not going to be taken back! And no offense to Amy but a better actress? I've seen most of her roles, including her Oscar nominated and she plays the same person over and over and over again! I have to admit though that I loved her in Junebug and Enchanted! Also nocturnal animals seems promising!

Don't matter, she still got it! lol

Just your opinion, totally subjective... and I strongly disagree. Completely deserved the Oscar, she was incredible, magical in Silver Linings Playbook. She really stood out and stole that movie. And nothing against Portman but imo she even deserved the Oscar for her amazing performance in Winter's Bone in 2010. Lawrence is one of the best actresses working today and the best of her generation. Amazing, natural talent.

Completely deserved the Oscar

if you think Jlaw was better than Emmanuelle Riva,Watts and Chastain,you definitely is a lost case.

Here is a video which patiently examines all of the performances and articulates why your position was always in the minority, and why everyone always knew she was going to win.

this video is nonsense

This video is utter ridiculous you don't say or give appropriate explanations, it's so easy to say Emmanuelle Riva was just there lying, Naomi Watts just screaming I can say Lawrence was just screaming like a lunatic and acting over-the-top, How can you say her role is the more complex, you have to be kidding. Harvey paid you to say this or what ?
1. Riva
2. Chastain
3. Wallis
4. Watts
5. Lawrence

the commentary above is in the page of your link and i agreed with that.
next time,give me a better reason for her win.

reply

The video was far more articulate than either you or the idiotic commentators. It gave reasons and it supported the reasons with actual acting footage. I think it is highly unlikely that you even watched it.

Face it: you are in the minority on this subject. There was simply no contest, and everyone knew it.

So you think she deserved to be nominated?
