OMG, she's so nutty, I loved it.

Although she didn't deserve the Oscar.

For the first time in years, I saw all the movies in the Actress in a Leading Role category, and I actually think that she deserved it. However, I think Saoirse didn't deserve her nomination. She's a good actress, but Lady Bird and her performance were overrated.

Personally,I think Sally Hawkins deserve it more, as she was able to express so much without actually talking throughout the movie.

Yeah, I don't get anyone saying she didn't earn it. The movie was trash but her performance was amazing.

i was surprised by how much i liked ladybird. but i was also surprised by how overrated saoirse's performance was... i don't think it was that great, maybe even kinda bad actually? BUT i really like saoirse onscreen, she just has a likable/charismatic quality. but i don't think she gave the best performance in that movie.

for some reason i still wanted her to win though idk.

I think that once someone breaks the seal and is nominated the first time, people tend to develop this bias where they see an Oscar worthy performance in most things that they do afterwards. i think saoirse falls into this category.

it's kinda bizarre to me that people p much unanimously praise chalamet's performance in cmbyn (and i don't disagree) but i've seen quite a few who share your opinion that saoirse's is overrated, when i felt like both characters are actually really similar in many ways & so are their performances.

She was great but my problem is that she has already played this exact character many, many times and was as great. A part of me wonders if that's the only performance she can put out and if so, maybe my great is not even trying for her... Idk.

This isn't Emma Stone, Jen Law or Gwyneth Paltrow. Sally might've delivered a more nuanced, touching performance and I think she was more deserving but there isn't a world where Frances isn't deserving of awards.

Question: if someone steals your Oscar the day you won it and they never find it, can the Academy give you another one?

I think they do.

Yes, they replace them if they are stolen.

OT But I love your icon! I've been following her for a while and I hope she does well on the show.

I think she's really talented, so I also hope she does well. Loving your Bianca icon, too!

lmao

Like, I didn't want her to win either but that's just rude. What kind of randos are they letting in the Governors Ball??

Not like she doesn’t have a spare...

Can someone steal back Gary Oldman’s oscar and give it to someone more deserving like for example, ANY of the other nominees....

Perfect.

His win was such a stinker tbh. Me and my friend booed in unison when they called his name.

Lol aren't they engraved?

I think they are engraved the same night. Either way, who steals an Oscar?

I'm thinking copious amounts of alcohol was involved in this "theft"

Lots of people have had their Oscars stolen over the years! They almost always track them down because the fools put them up for auction.

The source says they engrave it at the governor's ball itself.

Ms. Sally and Ms. Saoirse seeking revenge tbh!!!

That's stupid though. Why would someone be that much an asshole?

Also a few sites are reporting she started crying when she realized it was gone which I really can't picture. She just seems like the Queen of IDGAF.

I would feel so guilty if someone gave me something valuable and it was stolen

People who do things FOR THE LULZZZZZ and CRAZINESS of it all

Maybe he thought he could sell it?

OMG, I thought this was going to be some quirky story that was being over-dramatic click bait but nope. She was seen crying after having lost it - that's fucked up, man.

LoL

LOL

omg... the mere thought of frances mcdormand crying legit makes me SO SAD

Smh, leave ha alone.
She endeared to me last year, I'm about to watch every movie she's ever been in. She has a new fan. ❤️️

Wait, that's the mom from Almost Famous! Love her.

Rock stars have kidnapped my son!

I love her in that movie, DONT TAKE DRUGS!

She is epic in that movie.

she's incredible in it <3

she's so good in that movie

“Fran and Oscar are happily reunited and are enjoying an In-N-Out burger together,” McDormand’s rep, Simon Halls, told USA Today.

I'm glad I decided to go to the source because I'm loving this statement lmao Good one, rep.

lol that’s cute

It was Joey Tribbiani.

Lmao

Oscars supposedly have zero resale value since these days only the Academy can buy them back (and for a pittance), so how is this grand theft?
