I think it was sad she didn't win the Best Actress Oscar for the Help,,the over-rated Meryl Streep even said she should win...I am sick-to-death of her they nominate her every year..the Help should of won best Picture instead of that stupid over-hyped the Artist...the Oscars are no longer the prestigious award it once was.........
shareViola is a fine actress and a worthy contender and probably would've won had it been any other year but Meryl's performance as Maggie Thatch was outstanding. She completely became the Iron Lady. From her mannerisms, to the way she spoke, to the 2 different dialects she adopted, it was a complete embodiment. Viola's performance was great and her acting was great however I think awards should go to those who go above just great acting. Awards should be decided on the amount of effort people go to, to completely become their characters. Such as Charlize Theron in Monster who completely became a different person. Or Natalie Portman in the Black Swan who trained in ballet for almost a year to really authenticate the role. I think when you're up against those sort of actors who have put that much effort and training and research into their characters, those who just acted really well don't have much hope. Viola will win one day and we should remember that being nominated at all is just as good as winning.
