Viola is going to get the Oscar for the wrong movie

Don't get me wrong I love her and think she's an astounding actress.

HOWEVER

her big scene in this film (the tears) is nothing we haven't seen before from her, in fact she performed a similar scene with much more electricity in just 5 minutes in doubt. When I saw her in that movie, she SURPRISED me. Seeing her here in Fences, I can regocnize the talent but wouldn't say that's the female performance of the year.

If I was voting I would much rather vote for Michelle Williams, who is a continually versatile actress and did something new for her in just a few short scenes in Manchester.

Manchester BTS is a bloated duuulll lifetime movie.

I totally agree. MANCHESTER is so over-rated.

Michelle Williams is only onscreen for like 10 minutes, Naomie Harris was amazing in Moonlight and should in my opinion should win an Oscar.

Naomie Harris was on screen for 10 minutes!! Did her scenes in 3 days . She was good though .
