Should she have won the oscar in 2016??


I think without the competition of Brie Larson last year Cate would have surely won. I have made a compilation of the best actress nominees for the Oscars 2015. I would HUGELY appreciate it if you guys could watch it and give me any feedback at all in the comments :)

Cate's performance in Carol is rewatchable and gets even better by rewatching it.

Brie in Room is mesmerizing the very first time but after one watch it becomes predictable due to the fact that it's mostly a suspense thriller

Cate has been robbed at the oscars three times now. But she'll eventually win her third Oscar in the near future

I would have loved to see Cate win for Carol because I think she was thoroughly deserving, but I ultimately have no objection to Brie Larson's win because she was fantastic in Room.

I have no doubt at all that Cate will win at least one more oscar in her career. I also predict she will one day be up there with Streep and Hepburn for amount of nominations and wins.

I think Cate's performance in Carol was worthy of the nomination it got.

In my opinion, only Charlotte Rampling could have won over Brie Larson.

I agree with pedroasp3


Charlotte Rampling was absolutely AMAZING in 45 Years



Next year: Tony Award winner Cate Blanchett :)

If Brie hadn't been nominated Soairse would have won. She just had more advantages this year than Cate did. She hasn't won an Oscar yet and the plot of her movie was about a young immigrant moving to America, something a lot of people working in the movie business have experienced. Her movie was also nominated for best picture and Cate's wasn't.

It will probably be a while before Cate wins another Oscar. I think it took like 20 years for Meryl Streep to win her third.

I read many of your posts and you and I share our appreciation of this lady with the same fervor. Because of my bias, I can never see another nominee out-perform Cate-the-Great for any award they may be competing. It just doesn't happen. She gives 110% all of the time. So the hell with all of the politics involved with winning an Academy Award. If she's nominated, she should win, hands down. It's all B.S. Paltrow was a joke up against "Elizabeth", for example. Really? How in the effin g.d. sh*t did that happen? Sorry, rhetorical question.
