Anyone else think Weisz shouldn't have won the oscar?

I just didn't think she deserved it that much. Don't get me wrong, she played her role well, she was a good actress, but I just didn't think to play that particular role an actress would need a lot of skill anyway. I just couldn't understand why Weisz won it. In my opinion, Michelle Williams gave a much better performance in BBM than Weisz did in the Constant Gardner.

The Oscars being the joke they are, I should say she was richly deserving of it...

Michelle Williams was spectacular, but I preferred Rachel Weisz.

Seallymorgan I'm not here to cause a fight, and I don't have a personal problem with Weisz, so stop being bitchy. And Michelle Williams didn't need a lot of screentime to get nominated for the Oscar because she was getting nominated for a supporting role. Also, does anyone actually think that the role Weisz played was a difficult role to play?

I think to win a best actress award, lead or supporting, you need to make the role your own, but I honestly think any half-decent actress could have played Wesiz's role, there just didn't seem to be a lot to that particular part at all. I'll say it again, I still think Weisz gave a good performance and I like her as an actress, I just didn't think she deserved the Oscar.

I think Weisz deserved her Oscar fair and square, but I hate it when posters get cursed out for disagreeing with other people. It's so rude, chicken-sh!t message-board behaviour.

I agree....neither her role nor her acting was outstanding so I understand where you are coming from.....:)

And although Michelle Williams was 'barley' in the movie, she certainly 'made the grain' for me...

LMAO!

No offence but you start a thread attacking an actress, you should expect to be attack by her fans
---

How in any way, shape or form did I attack Rachel Weisz. I thought she acted well in the film but I didn't think it was Oscar worthy. How is that an attack? How could I express my opinion in any other way? You cant accuse people of attacking someone when they BLATANTLY didn't, and its a little stupid to lie on a message board when all the evidence has been written down.

---
Its no ones fault that you have a personal problem with that.
---

Can you point me out the part where I tried to blame someone else? Why are you putting words in my mouth? What is your problem?

And for the rest of your comments, I respect your opinions but I don't agree with them. For the last time, I think Weisz gave a good performance! I thought she was good! In fact I thought she was great. But I just didn't think she did enough to get the Oscar. There just wasn't any scenes that made me think; "Jeez, she is amazing!"

Anyways, that's my 2-cents worth, I shant bring it up again, sorry if I offended anyone even though it was definitely not my intention but I just cant believe how bitchy and aggressive posters on this board are.

Don't worry, Milla - only one individual, and a troll with multiple logins...

Well known around here as a rabid Weisz fan and general eejit...!

All the best,

You just don't give up, do you ZanTess?

Try varying your language a bit, and you'll sound more convincing.

Just a friendly tip...

You know what? I recently put forth some constructive criticism on the Twilight Saga movies. It was not a good decision for me to do. Apparently, they have a ton of obsessive-compulsive fanatics that swiftly accuse me of being an insensitive jerk who is on the attack. Just like you, I never attacked anyone or anything, but yet I was made to feel like the world's biggest ass and I lost two friendships over it (which makes me realize that those weren't real friendships for starters). All I can do is shake my head and move on. This world is full of people who do not know how to think for themselves or refuse to think for themselves because they are too lazy to do so. I am glad that you are not one of those people. Keep thinking critically and speaking your mind regardless of how many ignorant people hastily jump down your throat without first comprehending the facts.
