An Oscar for Michael Clayton?
I’m a huge fan of hers, but she did nothing in that movie. She deserved to win for We Need To Talk About Kevin or several others. But she was average in MC.
Trolls Need Not Apply
Agree that she was good or better in ether movies but what she did with an ordinary role in Michael Clayton is definitely award worthy. She fleshed out that character in a way that only a handful of actors can. That character would simply be a two-dimensional villain in the hands of a lesser talent - she made the role human, despite having very limited amount of screentime and dialogues.
