She didn't deserve that Oscar


First of all, I love her as an actress and think she was good but not Oscar worthy. Janet McTeer was 1000000x better in Albert Nobbs. The Academy look so prejudice. They ignore real acting achievements

Its all apples and oranges though. If Janet won, someone would eventually make the same post on the Janet McTeer board.

You're right.

I must say I didn't see Albert Nobbs, but I know that Janet is awesome, seeing her in Marple. Only question, why is Albert Nobbs in nomination for 2011 anyway, since it was released in early 2012. But anyway, I'm sure she did great.

But, if you saw The Help, you must admit that Octavia was splendid, she just stole the show, even before my dearest goddess Bryce Dallas Howard. I think that she did an Oscar worthy performance, and that's what I thought when I first saw the movie.

I understand the frustration over Academy's decisions, since I'm mad Gary Oldman and Rooney Mara didn't win, but on the other hand, all nominees were at least good, otherwise they wouldn't be here at all.

The Oscars are joke. Denzel has done way better work but won that year with Halle for political reasons and it would have made a nice story, and it sure did. Or they win in fear of seeming like a racist institution. The Oscars are like the WWE now.

That's your opinion. Just that - an opinion. How sad that you felt the need to post this on her page. Speaks volumes. Celebrate your hard work Octavia and enjoy!
