I was thrilled about Jennifer's win until I had the chance to watch Amour. Madame Riva was simply in a league of her own and unfortunately the Academy tends to ignore foreign actresses of her caliber. Thank you Brian, as always, for the great content!
Thrilled at her win? Why? She was pushed and pulled by Weinstein, back end deals, to get that oscar for a role she was too YOUNG for, and was mediocre in. Please! right up there with Paltrows win, also pushed by Weinstein.
Yeah after watching Amour I truly think Emmanuelle Riva gave a far more compelling and outstanding performance than Jennifer. She'll always be the true winner in my heart.
I can see why Lawrence's win is controversial, Riva and Chastain was amazing in their films. But personally, i love Lawrence's win. She's mesmerizing in SLP, the best acting in a romcom movie for years and her win is a breath of fresh air for the Oscar which had been overloaded with dramatic and serious roles. To this day, Lawrence has proven her range as an actress in a variety of projects.
I don’t hate Lawrence’ win, because I don’t think the competition was extraordinary. But it really isn’t the type of performance that should have won an Oscar, particularly a lead Oscar. While she has yet to top her work in Winters Bone.
@@singstreetcar5881it’s not about the film, it’s about the performance. People win Oscar’s for bad movies all the time. Meryl Streep (The Iron Lady), Angelina Jolie (Girl, interrupted), Brendan Fraser (The Whale), Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody) for example.
Jennifer Lawrence winning an Oscar for that movie will always be a mystery to me, specially with such great actresses in that category. Her only award winning performance was Winter Bone imo.
Emmanuelle Riva was robbed 😭😭 Her heartbreaking performance in Amour is one I still constantly think about 10 years later. Can’t say the same about Jennifer Lawrence and the extremely forgettable Silver Linings Playbook!
PLEASE-- nobody remembers that geriatric film… SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK is an instant classic. Is on Netflix, HBO MAx, Hulu… and guess what? The old bitch died the next year. 😅
I would’ve either picked Emmanuelle Riva or Jessica Chastain to win over Jenner Lawrence to be honest. I really liked Jennifer’s performance in Silver Lining’s Playbook, and I thought she was the best performance in the movie, but both Emmanuelle and Jessica’s performances were incredible and had a more lasting impact on me than Jennifer’s.
Like, i don't undestand, that movie is so forgettable, i watched amour once and i remember it vividly and Zero dark thirty is one of my favorite movies ever...
Silver Lining Playbook is produced by The Weinstein Company, the King's Speech too, and they has the Artist's distribution right... I think most people would agree they are not the best choice for the Best Picture right?
I am a year younger than Jennifer so I remembered being shocked at her win. I know it wasn't her 1st nomination nor her breakthrough role but I was so accustomed to everyone under the age of 25 getting pushed to the side to make way for bigger names or established veterans like Emmanuelle Riva in the Best Actress category. Looking at her win today, compared to her other nominations outside of Winter's Bone, its definitely her best role, though I love her to death in Mother!
Love your videos! Can I suggest a Marlene Dietrich elusive Oscar video? The story behind her award run for Witness for the Prosecution is jaw dropping.
Jennifer Lawrence won the Oscar for best actress in "Silver Linings Playbook" because of Harvey Weinstein utterly aggressive campaign and "other" factors that we didn't know about. Emmanuelle Riva in "Amour" should have won the best actress that year.
So in regard to Seth Macfarlane as a host, I remember reading that he actually WAS asked to come back and host again the following year, but Macfarlane turned them down, telling them that while he was happy to have his dream of hosting the Oscars come true, it just took too much out of him considering all the other projects he was working on! So, if his schedule ever clears up significantly (which seems unlikely because Family Guy will probably NEVER be canceled at this point) we may see him back.
J-Law fever was real that year, I just had a feeling she would get it since it didn't feel like Zero Dark Thirty was as heavy an awards favorite as The Hurt Locker even tho Chastain was great in that
Zero Dark Thirty was a huge awards contender at the beginning when the reviews for the film was overwhelmingly positive but the controversy behind the film’s depiction of torture really derailed the film’s Oscar campaign.
What's wrong with saying, "It came true"? People can't adnit they dream of winning an Oscar? Russell Crowe basically said the same thing and people thought it was charming. 🤷♀️
Thank you for making this comprehensive and in depth video, it was fascinating to watch. I personally loved Chastain, Watts, Wallis, and Riva much more but one can't deny Lawrence's win was part of a perfect storm within her ultimate imperial phase (plus with the help of the evil Weinstein). I am glad Jessica eventually won in 2022 but I'm still holding out hope that Naomi Watts will finally win an Oscar someday. I am ecstatic that you're covering the Supporting Actress for next year since you already covered 2013's Best Actress race in an earlier video. Great Black Friday gift, Brian ❤
I remember this race could go to either Lawrence or Chastain. Both gave fantastic performances in Zero Dark Thirty and Silver Linings Playbook and still to this day my favorite performances they’ve ever given. While I do think Zero Dark Thirty is a great followup to The Hurt Locker and would’ve been satisfied with Chastain winning. Silver Linings Playbook was one of my Top 5 Favorite Films of 2012 and Lawrence gave my favorite female lead performance of 2012. Her Oscar win makes me very happy and also glad Chastain finally won an Oscar last year.
I wish Bigelow was the first woman to be nominated twice for directing before Jane Campion. I think she should have won Best Director for ZDT. That film would be my pick for Best Picture.
I feel kinda bad that her win was overshadowed by the slap. It's the reason I'm glad Kristen Stewart didn't win, she wouldn't have to deal with the humiliation of a win being overshadowed by those shenanigans, besides she'll eventually win one of these days anyways. Sadly someone had to win that year and poor Jessica was the one. I'm glad she has an Oscar to her name, I am she deserves it, but it's marred due to Will Smith's BS. Had she won in 2013 she wouldn't have had to deal with that madness. I already hated Jennifer Lawrence and while my first pick was Emanuel Riva, Jessica was my 2nd choice and both got robbed in favor of the IT girl of the moment.
As I remember Emmanuelle Riva was second especially after that Bafta win, her narrative and Armour overperforming on nominations morning. Chastain won only Critics Choice and Globe where she had no competition. Zero Dark Thirty underperformed on the nominations morning.
I would rather Jennifer Lawrence for Silver Linings Playbook out and get in Marion Cotillard in Rust And Bone.. so my lineup for Oscars 2013 Best Actress Jessica Chastain - Zero Dark Thirty Emmanuelle Riva - Amour Naomi Watts - The Impossible Marion Cotillard - Rust And Bone Quvenzhané Wallis - Beasts Of The Southern Wild
Jessica Chastain should have won that year. I think Jennifer Lawrence’s performance in American Hustle was better personally, so if she won an Academy Award, I’d rather it be for that film. Chastain gave an incredible performance in Zero Dark Thirty. Words aren’t enough to describe her performance. Lawrence is good in Silver Linings Playbook, but not better than Chastain. Thank you for the video Brian, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and I hope you’re doing well. Please take care and have a great weekend!
Jessica was incredible in “Zero Dark Thirty”, especially in the ending scene! Her performance was subtle, and powerful at the same time and it left me speechless!
For me, I would have nominated Jennifer for Best Supporting Actress in Silver Linings Playbook. I would have then also nominated her for Best Actress for The Hunger Games. I wish critics and awards shows would have recognized how great she was in those movies.
Jennifer to me was by far the best (didn’t watch Amour), I would have been so shocked if she lost. The way she made a bi-poller character that was often self centered and made her lovable and funny was outstanding. She really is one of the best actors to come out this century and if she could just learn how to do accents, she could be the next Streep
Riva, Huppert, and so many other international legendary actors! It seems it's not easy for the Academy to recognize them. Having said that, I'm actually not mad with the win either and I'm sure it helped pave the way for Lupita's victory later.
Lawrence at the 2013 Oscar’s was like Grace Kelly and her win over Judy Garland (A Star is Born.) Kelly was in 3 or 4 popular films the year she won. Though I’ll still never forgive the academy for not awarding Judy Garland for a Star is Born. Similar situation with Julie Christie winning for Darling, who had Doctor Zhivago that same year. Put those two performances together, and yes, Christie was better than Julie Andrew’s. Plus, she won the year before for Mary Poppins. And that was also the academy’s way to snub not giving Andrew’s the lead role in My Fair Lady (released the same year as Mary Poppins.)
Judy Garland should’ve won for A Star is Born. That’s one of the best performances in a musical. As for Grace Kelly, I wish she was nominated for any of the two Alfred Hitchcock films she starred in the same year like Rear Window and Dial M for Murder.
Oh man I watched this Oscar's with my mother and it was a tense category, I didn't know who was gonna win because all 5 actresses deserve to win in my opinion
Love this video and can’t wait for the next one! Even though you touched on it a little here, I hope you’ll do one on the Supporting Actor rave for this year as well.
Great video and comparisons, especially this win and Olivia Colman's. I could see Hüller winning for Anatomy of a Fall under similar circumstances. Or Gladstone for Killers of the Flower Moon. I hope they tie!
@@radnsub7761 Because Jennifer was THIS CLOSE to beating Lupita the next year for another David O Russell film, American Hustle. Her popularity was so high it was said that a lot of voters didn’t care that she just won. To Jennifer’s credit though, she didn’t campaign. Although had she lost for SLP, I’m sure she would’ve.
Brian, thanks as always for your excellent commentaries. I wanted Jessica Chastain to win this one. It took her a few years later to win for playing Tammy Faye, as you know. The movie flopped at the box office, but Jessica invested her own money (I believe) to make this passion project.
Watts in Mulholland is one of the ten greatest female film performances. Up there with Charlize in Monster, Viola in Fences and Gena in A Woman Under the Influence. Time will be kinder to her once-in-a-generation role than the Academy ever was. Also she’s on another level in 21 Grams. There are a couple scenes in that film that almost hurt to think about, let alone believably act out! ❤️
I don't get what is so wrong about Anne Hathaway's win ???? Her speech? not the best ever obviously But it doesn't undermine the fact that she gave an astonishing performance in that film She deserved every award she got.
3 Things: 1. Quvenzhané Wallis would've been My Vote 2. I honestly think Naomi Watts is Supporting in The Impossible 3. Ugh, of course it was Weinstein
At least Jessica Chastain has an oscar so that’s the important part. And I think the academy made the right choice giving Jennifer Lawrence the Oscar for SLP
Cap! You mean WEINSTEIN made the right choice in securing her that Oscar for a role she was too young for and mediocre in. Ooh wow she can YELL, amazing depth!
thank you so much for putting some respect on miss Quvenzhane's name because so many GROWN people have dogged her. Andy Cohen and Chrissy Tiegen come to mind as making some of those deplorable comments
Silverlings Playbook is one of my of not the favorite film and imo JLaw deserved that. I can easily see her pulling off any other nominees’ character but no one could’ve done what she did. She made it seem easy.
Weinstein did!.. You mean her yelling in the cafe. wow groundbreaking! Please mediocre role, for a mediocre limited actress who was the great white hot girl at the time. Please. Weinsteins girl.
I don’t think Jennifer could’ve played both Riva and Wallis’s roles since their roles are specifically written to be characters of a certain age or race.
I feel like this an unpopular opinion but J Law is one of my favorite actresses of the modern age and her win is one of my faves ever. I absolutely love her.
I really liked Silver Linings Playbook - they made some good changes from the book except that Jennifer's character was supposed to be older than Bradley's 🙄 It was a great role. I didn't know they dissed Ben for Argo at the Oscars. So weird he would sweep all the other awards and then not even be nominated at the Oscars. I love details like this that you share.
Jessica Chastain just won her first academy award last year but was over shadowed by someone named will. She should have won two by now. Her win for In the Eyes of Tamy Faye should have been her third. This drives me nuts!
Exactly. I was rooting for Kristen Stewart for Spencer that year and I'm almost glad she didn't win because Will's antics definitely would have overshadowed her. And Jessica was my 2nd choice so yeah, poor woman the fact that her special day was ruined by that is awful.
no don't compare Michelle Yeoh in Everything Everywhere All At Once time to Jennifer Lawrence in Silver Linings Playbook time it's all different.. Michelle Yeoh in Everything Everywhere All At Once is the clearly lead & Jennifer Lawrence in Silver Linings Playbook is a supporting character!!
Worst personal Oscars memories : 1) David Fincher, litterally robbed in 2011; 2) Michael Mann's The Insider, which got NOTHING in 1999; and 3) Jessica in 2013, just because the Academy was thinking that Zero Dark Thirty was too "ambiguous". You'd better laugh at them.
Until this day I don’t think Jennifer’s Lawrence performance in “Silver Linings Playbook” was worthy of an Oscar for best actress. I have watched her movies and I think she’s not a bad actress, but I think she won that year for other reasons. To me this is one of the worst wins in the history of the Oscars.
I’m not a huge fan of Jean Dujardin’s Oscar win. The performance is a bit off at times especially when he either raises his eyebrow or delivers a big smile.
I do really like Silver Linings Playbook. But I really enjoyed the book, so. I’d have swapped out DeNiro for Waltz, but loving the Lawrence win here. And as much as I wanted Bradley Cooper to win, he was never going to beat Lewis for Lincoln. Sorry, having taken care of elder parents in their 80s and 90s, movies about strokes were not, and definitely are not in my watching category. I nearly had a blackout seeing The Dressmaker. And Harvey sullied the film industry for way too long, before he was taken out. And I love an Oscar season where everybody wins here and there. A clean sweep year, is boring. Cheers!
as much as frustration goes in the 2013 award ceremonies, nothing pissed me off like leonardo dicaprio not winning anything for django unchained even though he was the best actor in that movie by a mile as well as good if not better than everyone else competing in best supporting actor
It never makes sense that Jennifer Lawrence won the Oscars 2013 Best Actress.. the Silver Linings Playbook story is just Bradley Cooper's character.. Jennifer Lawrence is a supporting role, a supporting character for Bradley Cooper's character
That was the year of Disappointments for me. And yeah her win and sudden rise to top of the world in acting very quickly was all Weinstein work. Zero dark thirty isn't a perfect movie but jessica chastain gave the best performance in that category in my opinion.
I think Jennifer Lawrence was better in The Hunger Games than Silver Linings Playbook which is released the same year. I think she should have been nominated for The Hunger Games instead.
I've been waiting, but for crying out loud, when are you going to do a long overdue video about all of the Black actors and films OVER THE DECADES, who were ignored or otherwise weren't even considered for Oscar nominations?
I think Anne Hathaway totally deserved that Oscar. I do not think Jennifer Lawrence deserved hers, nor do I think she deserved most of her nominations.
@@l.tc.5032 I think she's good but not great. She was wildly miscast in everything she did with David O.Russell and the roles and movies were all extremely annoying. I think she did strong work in some of the Hunger Games films and was very good in Winter's Bone. Her 'every day normal girl' schtick has always been grating and transparent but it was at an all time extreme during her golden years with the Academy.
I was thrilled about Jennifer's win until I had the chance to watch Amour. Madame Riva was simply in a league of her own and unfortunately the Academy tends to ignore foreign actresses of her caliber. Thank you Brian, as always, for the great content!
Thrilled at her win? Why? She was pushed and pulled by Weinstein, back end deals, to get that oscar for a role she was too YOUNG for, and was mediocre in. Please! right up there with Paltrows win, also pushed by Weinstein.

Loved the video. As a huge Chastain fan, I was so sad and disappointed she lost the category but finally she got it 9 years later😵💫

Emmanuelle Riva was extraordinary.
And 9 Years Later, Jessica Chastain Won Best Actress for In the Eyes of Tammy Faye which she was magnificent in
That film was not good.

@@poett8875 Girl Interrupted is a phenomenal movie. What are you on about? And so was The Whale.
@@user-ux3vw6mb4k they both reviewed very poorly is what I meant. The general consensus was that they’re bad movies

You should do one about Gwyneth Paltrow defeating Cate Blanchett in 1999
Gwyneth Paltrow’s Oscar win is the worst acting Oscar win ever.
It should be Jessica Chastain.
Silver Lining is produced by the Weinstein company, which really knows how to play the game in oscar.
Emmanuelle Riva was the ultimate queen that year. Nothing's going to change my mind.
Emmanuelle Riva was robbed 😭😭 Her heartbreaking performance in Amour is one I still constantly think about 10 years later. Can’t say the same about Jennifer Lawrence and the extremely forgettable Silver Linings Playbook!
PLEASE-- nobody remembers that geriatric film… SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK is an instant classic. Is on Netflix, HBO MAx, Hulu… and guess what? The old bitch died the next year. 😅
This movie is so dreary and I love it. Never watching it again, though. 😅
I completely agree.

Hollywood was so eager to give her an oscar, why? A very average actress.
Harvey weisten was so powerful back then
Looking forward to Jennifer vs. Lupita, but Hopkins vs. Boseman would be a good one too
Silver Lining Playbook is produced by The Weinstein Company, the King's Speech too, and they has the Artist's distribution right... I think most people would agree they are not the best choice for the Best Picture right?
Rather she beat Emmanuelle Riva, who for me deserved it more
That movie was so sad
For lying on a bed for 2 hrs? Nahh that Oscar was always going to be Jennifer's
I agree...she really didn't have much to do after her character declined and was confined to her bed.@@gabbyb7347
@@gabbyb7347if that's how you vier her acting it's actually sad
Unanimously agree
Jessica Chastain should have won for zero dark thirty
The SNL monologue is making my toes curl

Yep. It aged like milk.

I don't know about it but now I'm interested.
Two great actresses in a stiff race. I really do love Jennifer she’s my acting idol.
You mentioned David O. Russell's reaction to Lawrence losing the BAFTA but forgot to mention Kathryn Bigelow's reaction to Chastain losing the Oscar.
Did I miss something? No mention of Jennifer's first Oscar nomination for "Winter's Bone?"

It’s hard to win without winning SAG or BAFTA, as Chastain, Angela Bassett, and others have shown. Regina King pulled off a minor miracle
Sylvester Stallone as well.
I wish Bigelow was the first woman to be nominated twice for directing before Jane Campion. I think she should have won Best Director for ZDT. That film would be my pick for Best Picture.

SO EXCITED FOR YOUR ANALYSIS OF Lupita vs Jennifer ❤❤❤
If J Law somehow lost this one, Lupita would be Oscarless.
I also think that way
I have always thought about this.
why? can someone explain😂

Emmanuelle Riva should have won that year. She gave the years best performance but the Academy is nothing more than a popularity contest now.
Ugh i truly despise this win. One of the worst ever.
Riva, Watts, Chastain and even Wallis were far better alternatives.

Please do Frances McDormand vs all the other actresses in 2020.
Yes! I love her work but that movie looked so depressing and boring. Doesn't mean it's Oscar worthy.
She was great in 3 Billboards.
is there a way to see who got how many votes?
Silverlings Playbook is one of my of not the favorite film and imo JLaw deserved that. I can easily see her pulling off any other nominees’ character but no one could’ve done what she did. She made it seem easy.
Weinstein did!.. You mean her yelling in the cafe. wow groundbreaking! Please mediocre role, for a mediocre limited actress who was the great white hot girl at the time. Please. Weinsteins girl.
I don’t think Jennifer could’ve played both Riva and Wallis’s roles since their roles are specifically written to be characters of a certain age or race.
I feel like this an unpopular opinion but J Law is one of my favorite actresses of the modern age and her win is one of my faves ever. I absolutely love her.
Thank Weinstein. Mediocre, role, too young for it, but pushed by the perve Weinstein. Mediocre! I scene of her yelling in a care, AMAZING! bye!
We all know why JLaw won Best Actress. It's all in her speech. Love her in Hunger Games, but her performance in Silver Linings is not Oscar worthy.
I really liked Silver Linings Playbook - they made some good changes from the book except that Jennifer's character was supposed to be older than Bradley's 🙄 It was a great role.
I didn't know they dissed Ben for Argo at the Oscars. So weird he would sweep all the other awards and then not even be nominated at the Oscars. I love details like this that you share.
21:30, dang bro, I was not ready for spicy JLaw. 😂
Jessica Chastain just won her first academy award last year but was over shadowed by someone named will. She should have won two by now. Her win for In the Eyes of Tamy Faye should have been her third. This drives me nuts!
Exactly. I was rooting for Kristen Stewart for Spencer that year and I'm almost glad she didn't win because Will's antics definitely would have overshadowed her. And Jessica was my 2nd choice so yeah, poor woman the fact that her special day was ruined by that is awful.
no don't compare Michelle Yeoh in Everything Everywhere All At Once time to Jennifer Lawrence in Silver Linings Playbook time it's all different..
Michelle Yeoh in Everything Everywhere All At Once is the clearly lead
& Jennifer Lawrence in Silver Linings Playbook is a supporting character!!
All I can think of is the Zero Dark 30 best director snub…how!?
Seriously… such a slap in the face after she won for The Hurt Locker. I can’t believe Jane Campion was the first woman to be nominated twice- in 2022!
I wish Bigelow was the first woman to be nominated twice for directing.
I agree she was snubbed. Tarantino was snubbed that year too. Glad he won for screenplay though.
Man, you really made me feel bad for Riva.
Worst personal Oscars memories : 1) David Fincher, litterally robbed in 2011; 2) Michael Mann's The Insider, which got NOTHING in 1999; and 3) Jessica in 2013, just because the Academy was thinking that Zero Dark Thirty was too "ambiguous". You'd better laugh at them.
Hathaway is easily one of the best winners in supporting actress ever!
Until this day I don’t think Jennifer’s Lawrence performance in “Silver Linings Playbook” was worthy of an Oscar for best actress. I have watched her movies and I think she’s not a bad actress, but I think she won that year for other reasons. To me this is one of the worst wins in the history of the Oscars.
I am not hating Jennifer Lawrence is just disappointed that she won but is clearly a supporting role
I think you should do one on the previous years best actor race, with Jean Dujardin and George Clooney . I think Clooney must've been a close second.
I’m not a huge fan of Jean Dujardin’s Oscar win. The performance is a bit off at times especially when he either raises his eyebrow or delivers a big smile.
@@laurajones1773 Dujardin's Oscar win should have come for An Officer and a Spy
12:26 woah those jokes are verrrry close to being too far lol
Bottom line, J. Law was Harvey’s protege- and likely much more. Jessica was mentored by Pacino, not nearly as powerful at that time.
Will you ever make a video on the Best Supporting Actor race at the 85th Academy Awards?
This was one those where I was wish we could've seen the voting data because this was maybe the closest race of the decade.
2010-2015 was Jennifer Lawrence’s golden era. I think she could make a comeback.
I will put Jennifer Lawrence in Oscars 20213 Best Supporting Actress and out Jackie Weaver for Silver Linings Playbook
The Awesomeness Continues That is J Law Jennifer Lawrence ! 😊👊✊😆👍👌🍁
Her performance in SLP was awful. Also, she deserved to be nominated for The Hunger Games instead, she was so much better.
Oh please you don’t have to like her or her win but her performance was not awful 🙄
@@stardusth2o why do you think I do not like Jennifer Lawrence? I love her. And because I love her I can say that her performance in SLP is awful.
Didn’t take you for one of those who hated Anne Hathaway’s award speeches that season.
😬
I do really like Silver Linings Playbook. But I really enjoyed the book, so. I’d have swapped out DeNiro for Waltz, but loving the Lawrence win here. And as much as I wanted Bradley Cooper to win, he was never going to beat Lewis for Lincoln. Sorry, having taken care of elder parents in their 80s and 90s, movies about strokes were not, and definitely are not in my watching category. I nearly had a blackout seeing The Dressmaker. And Harvey sullied the film industry for way too long, before he was taken out. And I love an Oscar season where everybody wins here and there. A clean sweep year, is boring. Cheers!
Emmanuelle Riva deserved.
I only cried more during Away From Her, but Amour is up there. 😭
"we all threw up in our mouths a little bit" phahaahaz I love this 🤣
as much as frustration goes in the 2013 award ceremonies, nothing pissed me off like leonardo dicaprio not winning anything for django unchained even though he was the best actor in that movie by a mile as well as good if not better than everyone else competing in best supporting actor
It never makes sense that Jennifer Lawrence won the Oscars 2013 Best Actress.. the Silver Linings Playbook story is just Bradley Cooper's character.. Jennifer Lawrence is a supporting role, a supporting character for Bradley Cooper's character
The SNL clips of Jennifer Lawrence are pretty cringey now than it was 10 years ago.
I wanted Naomi Watts to win it that year for THE IMPOSSIBLE. Great film!
More of these!
I'm sorry but Naomi Watts was amazing in that movie. She should have won. Anyway I don't think Lawrence win was that bad
That was the year of Disappointments for me.
And yeah her win and sudden rise to top of the world in acting very quickly was all Weinstein work.
Zero dark thirty isn't a perfect movie but jessica chastain gave the best performance in that category in my opinion.
I think Jennifer Lawrence was better in The Hunger Games than Silver Linings Playbook which is released the same year. I think she should have been nominated for The Hunger Games instead.
I've been waiting, but for crying out loud, when are you going to do a long overdue video about all of the Black actors and films OVER THE DECADES, who were ignored or otherwise weren't even considered for Oscar nominations?
I think Anne Hathaway totally deserved that Oscar. I do not think Jennifer Lawrence deserved hers, nor do I think she deserved most of her nominations.
100%, controversial opinion but Jennifer Lawrence is not a good actress, or a good person to be honest.
@@l.tc.5032 I think she's good but not great. She was wildly miscast in everything she did with David O.Russell and the roles and movies were all extremely annoying. I think she did strong work in some of the Hunger Games films and was very good in Winter's Bone. Her 'every day normal girl' schtick has always been grating and transparent but it was at an all time extreme during her golden years with the Academy.
If Emanuelle Riva or Jessica Chastain had won this, Jennifer most certainly would have won the next year, and Lupita N'yongo would be Oscar-less.
Has Jennifer Lawrence ever spoken out against Harvey Weinstein?
