    She’s so lovely. My cousin used to work for Harper’s Bazaar and did a photo shoot with her. Apparently she was so nice and he got to hang out with her and her family for the day. She’s so talented and so lovely aswell

    Longest reigning British monarch was Victoria 1837 to 1901 only recently superseded by current monarch Elizabeth the second 1952 to ... Elizabeth the first did reign for a long time i think the dates are 1558 to 1602

    1) it cuts in and out through the Elizabeth research stuff really quickly so maybe that was mentioned just after but it was cut out in editing 2) either way it's incorrect as at the time when she died she was the longest reigning queen in her own right, not monarch, there were kings of England that ruled before her that ruled for longer than she did (Henry iii and Edward iii)

In my oppinion harley quin cld not have been bttr portrayed on screen. You completely embodied tanya harding(which was diffinately oscar worthy but of all ur performances that i truly think u deserve recognition for. Mary queen of scotts is a oscar WINNING performance.

    I wish that Hollywood should make a better version of the Betty Broderick story since made-for-TV versions are somewhat okay and Kate Winslet would play Betty Broderick, Leonardo DiCaprio would play Dan Broderick, Margot Robbie would play Linda Kolkena Broderick, and Alyson Hannigan would play Kerry Wells who was the prosecutor in the Betty Broderick trial.

    Erm, Elizabeth was not the longest reigning monarch at the time she died. Edward III ruled for 50 years, he died in 1377. His record wasn't beaten until Victoria.

    But what you don't seem to understand is that she's doing just that loool. She wants to create more opportunities for women and there are so many brilliant women out there who deserve to be seen on screne in amazing and complex roles! But they are choosing the best men fit for the roles as well, it's not like there aren't any men in the movies lol. Like Sebastian Stan in I, Tonya was amazing.

    She just played it smart. She got her foot in the door because she recognized how hollywood works, delivered good work in the movie and got more parts, out of which she chose the ones where the part she was playing was not just a "girlfriend of" or "the hot love interest" or "the rehabilitation centre for a damaged male to get him to his destiny".

    Overrated, over exposed, mediocre actress, and looks at least 10 years older than she really is. She must’ve gotten arounddddd big time to get as many roles as she did. Saoirse Ronan is a real talent and is 100x the actress Margot is yet she doesn’t get cast as much!!! Shame.

    Saoirse Ronan’s accent in Mary, Queen of Scots is a joke and she was wildly miscast. And it’s not her performances that get nominations etc....it’s the characters she plays. She’s rather mundane
