Oscar nom, really?


why - she didn't make the role that much more amazing, she's playing something that might not be too hard to portray for her as a black woman raised in the South - and frankly it was a caricature, and the help was more movie of the week than a true theatrical quality release.

The Oscars are too politically correct sometimes, and have to nominate someone just to include everybody regardless of quality.

Look at Halle Berry - which was a mistake in giving (she didn't earn that oscar, please...) the best actress award. What a joke! and she hasn't done jack since, and she didn't do that much before. What PC garbage.

There are better more deserving best supporting actress and I didn't think Melissa Mcarthy deserved it either - and I loved Bridesmaids and her performance in it, but it's a comedy, and she's a comedian, and it wasn't like it was a hard performance for McCarthy either.

Jonah Hill did an excellent job as a supporting actor if you want to understand what I consider a worthy nomination.

Shailene Woodley (even though I didn't think The Descendants was that great) did a great performance as well. Actually, if anybody from The Help got a nom - and it's a stretch for both of them for the specific roles - Viola (who I think is an excellent actress, but not for this role though she did a decent job) and Jessica (which I didn't think she deserved it as much as for her other roles in other movies for the year).

I even think Gadboure Sideby did a magnificent job in Precious, so didn't start the typical vitriol for honesty.

What? are you serious about getting credit for playing your self? that's even worse, and makes the oscars more of a joke than anything, - please Jessica Chastain if not Mcteer should get this - just watched Albert Nobbs - excellent performances by Glenn Close and Mcteer - that's acting not Melissa Mccarthy doing improv (which again I loved her in the movie) and Octavia playing a character based on her in real life - that's amazing that she even got a nomination, truly Kool Aid for this year's oscars, and the SAGs what a joke).
