Gena should've been given the Oscar for 'A Woman Under The Influence.'

[@fadhilramadhani1847]

wow! now THAT is a great speech, read by Linney to Rowlands, two of my most favorite actresses.

[@theaterdreamer]

What an extraordinary woman, and prodigious talent.
And a wonderful speech by Laura.

[@CradleEpiscopalian56]

The best speech at any awards event from an actor concerning the appreciation of another. This was beautiful without syrup or rainbows. Excellent!

[@kylerobin6718]

Laura Linney, you are something special. If you don't get an Oscar before you stop working, the Governors will honor you as well. Congratulations Gena - your work in Gloria was my first exposure to your work - but it left an indelible impression.

I am so weeping knowing Gena Rowland’s work. She makes a movie worth watching. No fear. What heart this woman has! To you Gena Rowlands!

[@paulvoorhies8821]

[@luisfortoul2409]

I love Gena Rowlands💗🌻

[@poetcomic1]

Gena's great role with Bette Davis in the TV movie STRANGERS was her best. Bette was, as Linney states Gena's idol. It is free on RUclips and slowly builds to sublimity.

[@artemisiajoy]

obsessed obsessed obsessed with them both

[@4kjm]

[@LadyAmerican]

[@lisamurphy5770]

And I don’t get why everyone thinks this is about Laura Linney! It’s Gena Rowland’s body of work!

[@paullemon5154]

Love Laura Linney! Great speech with the exception of one thing....including Jennifer Lawrence among the list of great actresses. Jennifer Lawrence is a mediocre actress at best.
