Fun facts about Frances McDormand: - She's been nominated 3 times for Best Supporting Actress and never won - She's been nominated 3 times for Best Leading Actress and never lost
I found her performances in supporting roles are way Oscar worthy though. Great actress but her 3rd win for Nomadland was so not the right choice in a category where Viola, Kirby and especially Mulligan gave better performances.
Honestly her work in Nomadland wasn’t good. It was mid imo. But I do know one thing, if an actress can win three times then I can do it as well. I am a working actor so fingers crossed.
Nomadland is pretty unwatchable, and I adore slow cinema, but her performance is fantastic. I thought the only competition that year was really Carrie Mulligan. I love Viola Davis but I wish they offered great roles to women of colour that they do to white women. A lot of these recent performances, other than EEAO, could be cast colourblind, especially this one and Tár.
Frances McDormand became the seventh person to win a third acting Oscar and the second to win Best Actress three times. She also was the first person in history to win Oscars for both acting and producing for the same film.
This performance is very similar to her role in Three Billboards. I think Carey Mulligan should have won that year. Also, Sally Hawkins from The Shape of Water should have won over McDormand in Three Billboards.
@@amangoyal923 i haven't watched three billboards and nomandland but Marge Gunderson in Fargo is one of the most iconic characters in American film history. Go watched the video when she won and Stop acting a fool
@@mathiaslopez5862 I actually agree. Unfair she has as many as Streep when McDormand has never really transformed or done, say, a Polish accent or any of the things that Streep has worked her butt off. McDormand in Fargo was Oscar-worthy indeed. And I'm okay with the Billobards one winning. But this just wasn't that special.
Frances McDormand has great acting in Nomadland. Frances McDormand became the seventh person to win a third acting Oscar and the second to win Best Actress three times. She also was the first person in history to win Oscars for both acting and producing for the same film.
@@rasharddavis321 and Divenire ❤️. I remember that it plays at the end of Ford vs Ferrari too. I knew of him in an elusive way before but now, I have his music on my phone. So haunting.
Agreed. That's true acting when you don't even think about that this is a performance. Getting to the point that an actor "is" rather than "acts" is so rare and Frances does it effortlessly.
Very subtle and realistic because Frances has a lot of Fern in her by the way she's been able to lead a normal life away from Hollywood's stranglehold and remain untouched, unblemished by it whilst offering her sheer talent with the world. She's a free spirit. Like DDL was before her.
1: Carey Mulligan- 5(quite simply my overall winner for 2020 best female performance) 2: Frances McDormand- 5 3: Vanessa Kirby- 5 4: Viola Davis- 5 5: Andra Day- 4.5 I am not mad with Frances winning at all. She was simply phenomenal in her subtle turn in Nomadland even if I felt that Carey did an even better job. I do wish that they decided to spread wealth here and give one of the others who have never won it especially Carey or Kirby but performance wise, I just can't be mad. Frances killed it.
@@lavenderfoil_2017 indeed, but Streep has won the Oscar for Best Actress twice. Her performance in "Kramer vs Kramer" won the award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. The Best Actress award has been won thrice by only two ladies: Hepburn and now McDormand
@@Dennisanyone- I mean, I think Eastwood is a good director. I honestly think he is a better director than he is an actor, and it does seem like a lot of people agree with that notion, not just the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. It's not one of those one off deals where an actor only directs one or two films, Eastwood has been directing movies, I think, almost as long as Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg have been making films. I know he has been directing since at least the early 1970s, and I think that over thirty films have been made with him sitting in the director's chair. I'm not saying I think he's a bad actor, but I definitely do think he's gotten a lot more praise for his work as a filmmaker. I also do have to admire that the man is still working. 91 years old, and he is still directing films, and acting too. His next film, Cry Macho, (starring Eastwood himself, who also served as producer and director) is being released later this year. At 91 years old, that has to be an incredible accomplishment to still be doing all of that.
I love Frances McDormand, she’s one of the best actresses in the whole world, and will be a matter of time till she breaks Katherine Hepburn’s record. HOWEVER I’m kinda sad because even though there was no front runner at the best actress category, Carey Mulligan deserved it so badly. I hoping for her win in 2022 or 2023 for her role as Felicia Bernstein on Bradley Cooper’s Maestro.
@@thomasmagnum3588 boy oh boy my comment did not aged well because I cannot express how much a I hated maestro lol (even though she’s the best part of it). I’m really glad Emma Stone won, she gave a performance of a lifetime
Her speech always shows genuine and authentic love toward movie. Pretty sure that ‘four-times-Oscars-Winning’ title not only shows her accomplishments but also expresses how film industry acknowledges her.
This is so chaotic. Carey sitting in the dark, Renée running away, Frances literally spitting out a sentence like the unbothered icon she is, later howling like a dog. Can't wait for her Lady Macbeth.
Watching again Nomadland. Italy has had Anna Magnani. France has had Jeanne Monreau. England has Olivia Coleman and America got Bettie and now Frances. Not real beauties but they all share that intense passionate raw acting.
But McDormand was the only professional actress in the film, so she had to carry the whole film on her own. That and that she made us believe she was a real nomad and not just an actress playing a part..
McDormand was great but what about Sidney Flanigan who gave a complex performance in Never Rarely Sometimes Always, and considering it was just her debut - wow. Snubbed.
NRSA was was probably too “small” for the academy. That and the bad release date and the fact that Sidney didn’t pick up steam with any of the televised precursors kinda left her DOA. But I definitely agree that she was an unforgivable snub if they actually bothered to watch the movie.
If more spots in Best Actress nomination sure Sidney Flanigan (Never Rarely Sometimes Always) & Elisabeth Moss (The Invisible Man) are in but sadly just 5 slots for a nominations
Very happy that the academy had the ability to award the best performance in the category. Frances was simply luminous in ‘Nomadland’ and when people see her beautifully natural performance as “doing nothing” it just speaks to how her talent went over their heads. It also shouldn’t matter that she just recently won her second Oscar since that doesn’t in any way make this performance any less Oscar worthy.
I didn't like her performance doesn't mean it went over my head. I just found it to be too involved with internal conflict (funny how in Fargo, she won with absolutely no internal conflict), do don't try to prove you're smarter than me or everyone who thinks like me 🙄
@@amangoyal923 wow that’s some grade A reaching you just did... I never suggested I was smarter than the people who don’t get the greatness of Frances’ performance and it kinda seems like you’re trying to project your insecurities about your intelligence onto me. Also, if you found her performance too “involved with internal conflict” ask yourself how she was able to portray that inner conflict. Her performance is so nuanced and filled with so many human mannerisms that we can only realise its depth upon reflection.
Dunno if it's just me, but Frances is one heck of a wordsmith. I just love the way she can string a sentence together so effortlessly, yet make it sound so powerful.
@@CuriosidadesPop Joel Coen is about to do his first solo movie (without Ethan). It was supposed to come out this year, but it will probably be in theatre in 2022. It's a B/W version of Macbeth and it will have Frances and Danzel Washington as the protagonists, plus Brendan Gleeson, Stephen Root and Herry Melling. So we can all be happy!
When Frances Mcdormand was declared the winner I teared up. There's something about this woman that makes her so unique in ways words can't express. In Nomadland with her portrayal of Fern she made us realize who we all truly are...clear light of the void !!
We can all agree it was one hell of Best Actress line up ever. Every Nominated person was worthy of win, even Vanessa Kirby who didn't won any precursor before. Frances McDormand's Acting in Nomadland is not very Oscar friendly. See Fran is already an Actress and she is acting with all real Nomads so she has to balance with her range. You can see the grief, pain , sorrow and loss in her eyes. The way see communicate with ppl and how she is present emotionally in every situation in the film. How patiently she listens to ppl. My personal pick was Vanessa Kirby but I can agree she was very solid in Nomadland. And she doesn't act like same in every movie. That's the worst statement I heard about her. Welcome to 3 Oscar winning club Frances McDormand.
We don't know when but we all know one day Amy Adams, Soarise Ronan and Glenn Close will win an oscar for best actress. And Frances Mcdormand can win 4 Oscars
Didn’t think the actual best performance would win in all the acting categories, but it actually happened! All the performances were at least good, but Frances and her subtlety acted circles around her fellow nominees (including that one that people are whining about). Congrats Frances!
3 Oscar for lead actress and 1 for producer for best picture, wherever you see it, if you have the privilege, think that you are seeing a living legend.
It feels like every time Frances wins an award she immediately takes that attitude when someone from a different religion than yours knocks at your door and asks for a chitchat. 😅
Frances should have said “See you down the road” in the end of her speech, in reference to the film. Nomadland is one of the most moving films I have ever seen.
There was no clear frontrunner in Best Actress this year because every major precursor went to a different actress. I was predicting Viola Davis (the SAG winner) to take Oscar. Since 1995 (the first year of Critics Choice), only two women have won the Oscar with only one precursor - Susan Sarandon for Dead Man Walking (1995) and Halle Berry for Monster’s Ball (2001). Both ladies were SAG winners without Best Picture nominees. Also, I thought playing a historical figure gave Davis the advantage over McDormand and Mulligan. My takeaway from McDormand’s win is when you have a unpredictable race, go with the movie that’s in the strongest position to win Best Picture.
It would be very weird to give a film in this day and age Best Picture and Best Director only, typically Best Picture winners will win at least three awards (Spotlight was a very rare exception) , so we should've seen it coming at this point.
I would've loved to see Andra Day win here, because she was fantastic and that was her film debut (definitely stoked to see more of her), but Frances McDormand definitely deserves it.
Welcome to the three and up Oscar club Frances. Day Lewis, Nicholson and Brennan on the male side. Hepburn (4), Bergman, Streep and now McDormand on the female side. One of the best speeches of all time. Short and to the point. The joke about karaoke. Acknowledging every artist in that room with the sword is our work line and a thanks. What more is there. I think the hands signal as in what’s up before Fran gave her speech was directed at Viola Davis. They may be friends. Like she was saying sorry Viola I didn’t mean to lol.
actually only hepburn, mcdormand, and day lewis belong up there because all of their wins were leading role wins and not the combination of leading and supporting role wins.
@@minavamp2811 an Oscar is an Oscar. The supporting winners used to get plaques up until 1945, so if it was the same now, what you said would hold water.
Frances Mc Dormand was good in Nomadland, but Carey Mulligan in Promising Young Woman was superlative and gave a giant performance. Mulligan should have deserved the Academy Awards 100 times more than Mc Dormand!
Nobody disputes that she is a good actress but in the years she won for fargo and now for nomadland her competitors managed to go one step ahead of her, I don't know why but she always owes me something in her winning performances.
You may have this feeling because the other actresses are celebrated by people more than Frances which is what her intention too. She doesn't want the stardom are anything of such sort. The one thing I love about her is that.
Truthfully, all four created tremendous performances. I love Viola Davis (long may she reign!), and Frances McDormand is just on another level of her own. I look forward to all four careers sky-rocketting long into the future, as they all deserve awards & more to come
@@thefilmseeker No mystery: Frances McDormand is my all-time favourite, I'd support her in anything she does. If you're trying to guess if I'm racist - well actually, I'm South Asian. And it's sad that such a thought bubbled up in your consciousness
Frances McDormand is a veteran and academy loves awarding her for same type of performances but man they robbed Carey Mulligan of her Oscar, she was a tour de force in Promising Young Woman
If you think Frances' performance in Nomadland was anything like her performances in Fargo or Three Billboards, then you know next to nothing about acting. Acting is more than accents & costumes. Frances works in subtleties and nuances that clearly go over your head. Carey Mulligan's performance was easily the weakest of the 5.
Everytime Frances Mcdormand wins the lead actress oscar, it's always a tight race! Haha.. When she won for Fargo, Brenda Blethyn and Emily Watson were tough competition. When she won for Three Billboards, Margot Robbie, Saoirse Ronan and Sally Hawkins were also top tier, even Meryl Streep. And now for Nomadland, everyone in the category could win and deserve it as well. Frances is such a legend!
@@celticdw1983 Yes and it is a shitty movie, with a shitty Screenplay, shitty direction and bad acting. I appreciated Day's work on her voice, but that was all she could give cause she can't act, since she is not an actress
so glad she is now the actress with the most best actress in a leading role alive!Instead of kissing up to Harvey Weinstein or male publicists for Oscars in the past few decades, she restores her energy and produces so many wonderful female empowering works and truly she is deserving all of the success!
Frances McDormand's third Best Actress Oscar is one less than Katharine Hepburn, who won her third such honor in 1969 for her performance in "The Lion in Winter". Interestingly, "The Lion in Winter" also marked the film debut of Anthony Hopkins.
The same was said by people when she lost to Meryl Streep. It's time that the academy recognizes her as the equally great legend that she is instead of sugar coating her defeats by giving oscars to already established white actresses
I don’t understand why Frances McDormand would win a third Oscar in an okay performance in Nomadland while Tom Hanks didn’t win his third Oscar for Cast Away which is his best performance in his career imo.
Wow the academy must really love Frances McDormand considering is her third oscar for basically playing the same role for the third time, no offense to Ms. McDormand but Carey Mulligan had the best and most memorable performance of the year, such a shame what an uninspiring choice i'd be glad even if Viola Davis took it she has a long overdue Oscar for Best Actress.
Fun facts about Frances McDormand:
- She's been nominated 3 times for Best Supporting Actress and never won
- She's been nominated 3 times for Best Leading Actress and never lost
I found her performances in supporting roles are way Oscar worthy though.
Great actress but her 3rd win for Nomadland was so not the right choice in a category where Viola, Kirby and especially Mulligan gave better performances.
One more BA Oscar and she'll tie the record held for so long by the great Katherine Hepburn.
@@el7jake It's going on 2024 and no nomination.

Truthfully, most, if not all, of these performances were great so any of them winning would’ve been well deserved
It feels like every time Frances wins an award she immediately takes that attitude when someone from a different religion than yours knocks at your door and asks for a chitchat. 😅
True to herself. No bullshit. Perfect.
Frances should have said “See you down the road” in the end of her speech, in reference to the film.
Nomadland is one of the most moving films I have ever seen.
There was no clear frontrunner in Best Actress this year because every major precursor went to a different actress. I was predicting Viola Davis (the SAG winner) to take Oscar. Since 1995 (the first year of Critics Choice), only two women have won the Oscar with only one precursor - Susan Sarandon for Dead Man Walking (1995) and Halle Berry for Monster’s Ball (2001). Both ladies were SAG winners without Best Picture nominees. Also, I thought playing a historical figure gave Davis the advantage over McDormand and Mulligan.
My takeaway from McDormand’s win is when you have a unpredictable race, go with the movie that’s in the strongest position to win Best Picture.
It would be very weird to give a film in this day and age Best Picture and Best Director only, typically Best Picture winners will win at least three awards (Spotlight was a very rare exception) , so we should've seen it coming at this point.
She is one of the best actresses
Well deserve even if I liked Carey Mulligan’s acting the most of all the beautiful ladies nominated.
I would've loved to see Andra Day win here, because she was fantastic and that was her film debut (definitely stoked to see more of her), but Frances McDormand definitely deserves it.
Welcome to the three and up Oscar club Frances. Day Lewis, Nicholson and Brennan on the male side. Hepburn (4), Bergman, Streep and now McDormand on the female side. One of the best speeches of all time. Short and to the point. The joke about karaoke. Acknowledging every artist in that room with the sword is our work line and a thanks. What more is there. I think the hands signal as in what’s up before Fran gave her speech was directed at Viola Davis. They may be friends. Like she was saying sorry Viola I didn’t mean to lol.
Wait, Bergman???
@@thienle4010 Ingrid Bergman won two lead and one supporting.
@@Dennisanyone- really? I should check it again
actually only hepburn, mcdormand, and day lewis belong up there because all of their wins were leading role wins and not the combination of leading and supporting role wins.
@@minavamp2811 an Oscar is an Oscar. The supporting winners used to get plaques up until 1945, so if it was the same now, what you said would hold water.
THE BEST OF ALL TIME!!!
she really is one of the best actresses of our day. i love watching her in anything
The Oscars love her very much because she is a legend. Congratulations 👏
Frances McDormand is truely among the greats. An engrossing performance. Will she back there again for Lady Macbeth?
ABSOLUTELY DESERVED!!! McDormand haters can choke.
Carey mulligan deserved
True, but Frances was the best out of the category.
Can’t agree more
Carey should’ve won
IKR. She was so robbed. She isn’t won of my personal favorite actresses, but she was incredible in Promising Young Woman.
Frr😿
Quite possibly the greatest working actress today.
Frances Mc Dormand was good in Nomadland, but Carey Mulligan in Promising Young Woman was superlative and gave a giant performance.
Mulligan should have deserved the Academy Awards 100 times more than Mc Dormand!
Nobody disputes that she is a good actress but in the years she won for fargo and now for nomadland her competitors managed to go one step ahead of her, I don't know why but she always owes me something in her winning performances.
You may have this feeling because the other actresses are celebrated by people more than Frances which is what her intention too. She doesn't want the stardom are anything of such sort. The one thing I love about her is that.
@@arulstephen592 what happens is that she did not deserve to win this time not even for fargo
1:40 her reaction is indescribable 😍☺
Gotta love how she doesn’t give a f.
I love it.
Andra Day deserved here!!! She was brilliant in her film debut!
Her laugh is the cutest thing ever!
Her 3 rd Oscar!
She deserves it! such an amazing performance.
Truthfully, all four created tremendous performances. I love Viola Davis (long may she reign!), and Frances McDormand is just on another level of her own. I look forward to all four careers sky-rocketting long into the future, as they all deserve awards & more to come
I’m morbidly curious as to who you’re passive-aggressively sidestepping here.
@@thefilmseeker No mystery: Frances McDormand is my all-time favourite, I'd support her in anything she does. If you're trying to guess if I'm racist - well actually, I'm South Asian. And it's sad that such a thought bubbled up in your consciousness
@@heersyal2454 oh no I just meant because you said four so I wondered who you were excluding in your mind. No malicious intent.
@@thefilmseeker Oh okay; I truly rate all four of them, they are some of the best, and I do indeed look forward to their future work
@@heersyal2454 Oh you meant the four losers... That makes sense.
This award was for Carey mulligan period
Agree. 100%.
Frances McDormand is a veteran and academy loves awarding her for same type of performances but man they robbed Carey Mulligan of her Oscar, she was a tour de force in Promising Young Woman
If you think Frances' performance in Nomadland was anything like her performances in Fargo or Three Billboards, then you know next to nothing about acting. Acting is more than accents & costumes. Frances works in subtleties and nuances that clearly go over your head. Carey Mulligan's performance was easily the weakest of the 5.
Tell me about it. Her performance in Nomadland was very similar to her role in Three Billboards.
Everytime Frances Mcdormand wins the lead actress oscar, it's always a tight race! Haha..
When she won for Fargo, Brenda Blethyn and Emily Watson were tough competition.
When she won for Three Billboards, Margot Robbie, Saoirse Ronan and Sally Hawkins were also top tier, even Meryl Streep.
And now for Nomadland, everyone in the category could win and deserve it as well.
Frances is such a legend!
Day would have been a terrible winner
@@aqualcunopiaceclassico3201 However, Carey would be a rightful winner !
@@screenactorsguilable Yes, just like McDormand.
@@aqualcunopiaceclassico3201 Day would NOT have been a terrible winner. Did you even see US vs BH?
@@celticdw1983 Yes and it is a shitty movie, with a shitty Screenplay, shitty direction and bad acting. I appreciated Day's work on her voice, but that was all she could give cause she can't act, since she is not an actress
She is a versatile actor
so glad she is now the actress with the most best actress in a leading role alive!Instead of kissing up to Harvey Weinstein or male publicists for Oscars in the past few decades, she restores her energy and produces so many wonderful female empowering works and truly she is deserving all of the success!
Well deserved
Queen quoting Shakespeare! YES!
Frances McDormand's third Best Actress Oscar is one less than Katharine Hepburn, who won her third such honor in 1969 for her performance in "The Lion in Winter".
Interestingly, "The Lion in Winter" also marked the film debut of Anthony Hopkins.
If Frances McDormand wants to beat Katharine Hepburn's record, she needs 2 more Oscars in Leading Actress.
She is a legend
If i Explain about her performance simply I can say that i have traveled with her through her performance in nomadland ❤👏🔥
I HAVE NO WORDS.
MY VOICE IS IN MY SWORD.
WE KNOW THE SWORD IS OUR WORK.
AND I LIKE WORK.
During the show I was gunning for Davis, and I still think she should’ve won tbh, but losing to Frances McDormand is just as high an honor honestly
The same was said by people when she lost to Meryl Streep. It's time that the academy recognizes her as the equally great legend that she is instead of sugar coating her defeats by giving oscars to already established white actresses
I don’t understand why Frances McDormand would win a third Oscar in an okay performance in Nomadland while Tom Hanks didn’t win his third Oscar for Cast Away which is his best performance in his career imo.
Well deserved win for Nomadland. She'll be in contention for a 4th Best Actress Oscar next year as Lady Macbeth.
Wow the academy must really love Frances McDormand considering is her third oscar for basically playing the same role for the third time, no offense to Ms. McDormand but Carey Mulligan had the best and most memorable performance of the year, such a shame what an uninspiring choice i'd be glad even if Viola Davis took it she has a long overdue Oscar for Best Actress.
I still can't get it out of my head, great performance. I'm Nomad land was boring.
So she and Daniel Day Lewis are now both Oscar legends with 3 Lead Acting wins.. Well deserved!
Finally! Someone who thinks this was well deserved! Glad I'm not the only one!
Honestly: I was fine if ANY of them had won this category. They were THAT good, especially Andra Day & Vanessa Kirby.
The 3rd time, everybody!!!! One more time and she'll tie with The legendary Miss Katherine Hepburns! YASSS, I'm so excited
Her Academy Award fashion and speeches have gotten weirdo each of the three Oscars she's won.
One of the best winners ever
If Breaking Bad was to reboot with a female lead, there's no better actor than Frances McDormand.
Yes Frances was great.... but Carey Mulligan deserved it more... she was terrific in Promising young woman
Frances McDormand, what a powerful actress!
If she won another Oscar, SHE WILL BE TYING WITH HEPBURN!!!
Will be A record!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love how she dresses so unshowy. You can see she identifies as an ordinary person and not some souped up celebrity.
Viola, Vanessa and Carey deserved it more.
I loved Renee’s intros
Her voice is soothing!
She is the 1st actress to win 3 Oscars for Best Actress in a leading role. Along side Daniel Day Lewis.
Uh,... no? She would be the second one. The first one was Katherine Hepburn, who still holds the record for four acting Oscars, all Best Actress.
