    I love America Ferrera and I’m happy she got the nomination. Would i have nominated her? No. Then again, Jamie Lee Curtis not only got nominated last year but won! That was absurd. I can live with Ferrera’s nom.

    that JLC nom was bullshit though. not that I have any issues with JLC, but because her role in that film was pretty weak and small and Stephanie Hsu put in the WORK. also if anyone was gonna get a legacy win I thought it was Angela Bassett and her trap muscles for sure.

    The minute I saw America Ferrera's monologue in Barbie, I thought of Beatrice Straight's supporting actress win in Network. It is key to look at the function of both performances. In Network, Beatrice's performance is integral to the plot. So much, that Alan Heim (editor of Network) stated that the performance was originally later in the movie, but it did not have the emotional impact so he moved her performance to earlier in the movie. Beatrice's performance makes the audience feel the depth of what William Holden (her husband in Network) is throwing away by abandoning her for Diana (Faye Dunaway character in the movie. Likewise in Barbie, America's monologue sums up the major points of the movie and does it without being preachy which shows the skill that America has as an actress.

    Reason Five is extremely important here. Yes it's a coattail nomination, but it's also like Jamie Lee Curtis who has an incredible body of work behind her. The campaign is one of the smartest this season come to think of it. > Ferrera was a huge part of both the press run and the campaign > Viral monologue, they know she has a chance at a nom > Beloved actress, always championing diversity since before it became a popular thing > Ugly Betty is added to Netflix around Barbie's release, more nostalgia factor for Ferrera > During campaign, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants reunited to support her, more nostalgia > Her character Gloria is very much within her usual archetype, the everyday grounded but caring working-class person that she has mastered over the years. I doubt the character would work if others had done it > Many Oscar votes who are millennials and Gen Z grew up with Ferrera's female-focused but also broadly mainstream body of work and want to reward her for it and her performance in Barbie

    Margo did a capable performance in Barbie, but she wasn't the standout from Barbie. I think of Poor Things where Emma Stone completely dominated that movie all the way through and the rest of the cast looked like mere extras. So it makes sense it was easier for other people in the ensemble to shine in other categories, specially when they also got big moments in the movie, such as "I'm Just Ken" and the feminist monologue.

    I haven’t seen Poor Things, but I have seen Killers of the Flower Moon and I think of what a crucial role Lily Gladstone’s character, Mollie, plays in that story. She doesn’t get as much tangible influence, but she gives a real human face to the wide-scale damage that was being done to her people. It was probably my favourite performance in the movie, and that’s in a film with Robert De goddamned Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio, two of my all time favourite actors. And then I think of Barbie, and while Margot is very good in that, I wonder does it really deserve to be considered in the same league as what Gladstone did for her picture?

It's a passionate speech that is delivered with just the right amount of emotion.

    Neither America or Margot are exceptional actresses. But I’m more supportive of a nomination for America due to her decades-long body of work and her memorable monologue in last year’s biggest film (whether you LIKED it or not is irrelevant, everyone talked about THAT monologue). She’s championed diversity since before it was “cool” and is respected by the industry and her peers. I can think of several actresses who deserved a nomination less than her.

    Well there’s the thing. I’ve noticed a lot of “great acting” compilations generally tend to be people yelling or being a little over the top. Quieter and subtler performances often get looked over. I guarantee that Lily Gladstone’s nomination came a lot from that great cry she lets out after the explosion in Killers of the Flower Moon rather than her whole performance (I loved her work in that movie by the way) and if you can deliver a whole monologue convincingly and seemingly impromptu then that’ll get you some major clout.

    It's nice to see America getting her flowers for playing a character who had to carry most of the more mature real-world context for Barbie. I put her in a similar place to Danielle Brooks this year, as someone who we're so used to seeing be delightful and charismatic that we take that lovableness for granted. It's easy to overlook how demanding the role actually is and how many choices they're making on a mico level in their big scenes. There are other actresses I would have been delighted to see in those less secure slots (Penelope Cruz, Rachel McAdams and Taraji P. Henson in particular) but the way I see it, if Randolph is indeed walking away with the gold as she fully deserves to do, then why not let an overdue iconic TV star get the nominee status?

    She got the nomination because she had a speechy monologue in the movie. Margot Robbie did not get it because she did not have that speechy monologue. The other speechy monologue belonged to Barbie's maker. The movie's lack of focus worked for Ferrara, and not for Robbie. I actually hate speechy monologues in movies. It usually means they did not tell a good enough story to get their message across.

    When there is chaos in supporting Actress race and many contenders are coming as a possible sole acting noms in a non best picture films, usually there is a lazy voting, name checking that happens and someone from most seen film gets in. For an example in 2012 Maggie Smith for Marigold Hotel(SAG), Nicole Kidman for The Paperboy(SAG, Globes), Ann Dowd(BFCA) and Judi Dench for Skyfall (BAFTA) were fighting for the last spot and then Jackie Weaver comes in for the most seen film. Same happened to Ferrera who was in most seen Barbie, Marina de Tavira in best picture frontrunner, etc.

    She honestly had arguably the most iconic scene in the movie. When I think of this movie that’s always the scene I think back to. Although Robbie had memorable scenes, they don’t feel as iconic and her acting probably hasn’t had that ‘wow’ moment that stuck to voters minds as ferrera’s did

    America Ferrera should not have been nominated in my opinion. Then again Jamie Lee Curtis should have never been nominated for EEAAO. But that is politics and campaigning and spending money on campaigns matter more than the actual performance such as Laura Dern in Marriage Story, Laura Dern in Wild, etc.

    She to me is at my top 3 of the category, only behind Da'Vine and Danielle While to many she has one scene, i do believe she has more to do with more suttle acting being the human conection of the film and that one scene she has to me is better than other nominees, like Emily Blunt who also has pretty much one scene is fine, but America kills it In the hands of a lesser actress that monologue takes out the audience for being to "woke"...

    ⁠​⁠@@Glory-Compassno it doesn’t. Greta Lee never stood a chance. There’s no way a subtle and quiet performance was going to make it into the final five for Lead Actress. Once she missed BAFTA, it was all over for her. Robbie got all four pre coursers and is in a top five best picture contender. So she was leagues above Lee, Portman, Barrino etc. But since Emma Stone was the comedic performance that was already in the category, it left no room for another.

    @@poett8875 you don’t get my point fully so let me explain A lot of Margot Robbie fans need to understand that she wasn’t nominated because if we’re being honest her performance wasn’t good enough for an Oscar compared to the Nominees, Her Character was too one-dimensional ,a lot of the comedic jokes did not land well and the character wasn’t inspiring or interesting at all for a lot of ppl like me,there’s really nothing special about her performance she’s just the stereotypical pretty girl who played Barbie and this is not just my opinion. And no Greta Lee didn’t make it probably because she’s an actress with low status,popularity and fame in the industry(both Lily Gladstone and Sandra Huller’s performances were quiet and subtle this yr) Think about this Scenario:If u swapped the roles between Robbie and Lee I think everyone would be screaming for Robbie to win the whole thing Even you would agree don’t you?

    @@Glory-Compass a lot of what you said said is still opinion based. Saying Robbie’s performance isn’t anything special is completely subjective. I don’t get the argument that she just plays the “stereotypical pretty Barbie girl.” She has to do a lot of different things in one role, by being comedic and dramatic at the same time which is not easy to do. She had the hardest role to pull off in the entire movie. If she was bad then the entire movie just doesn’t work. She missed because it’s not the type of performance the Oscar’s like to nominate in Lead, which is why Bening got in. It’s the same type of performance that always does. As for Greta Lee, her being low status shouldn’t be an excuse. Paul Mescal wasn’t all that known but he scored a nomination for best actor last year. Maybe the argument you’re using for Robbie could apply to Lee too. Maybe her performance just wasn’t good enough🤷🏽‍♂️

    I still find it weird that America Ferrera gets an Oscar nomination for Barbie instead of Margot Robbie even if they are in different categories. Margot Robbie is much more deserving of an Oscar nomination than Ferrera imo. If the Academy would like to nominate an actress from a Best Picture nominee, they should have nominated Sandra Huller from The Zone of Interest instead. It would be cool if she gotten a double nomination this year like at the BAFTAs.
