On the one hand, it portrayed Tammy as shrewd enough to demand a seat at the table with the guys and to manage Jim into prominence, yet on the other made her out to be a complete innocent when it came to any fraudulent activities.

Yeah, I had an issue with that angle too.

I, Tonya also portrayed Tonya Harding as naïve about the pipe hit on Nancy Kerrigan, which is hard to believe. Still, it got an Oscar nomination for Margot Robbie.

I’m sure the The Iron Lady biopic about Margaret Thatcher didn’t cover all of her dirt, it would definitely have to be a years-long miniseries to cover all the horrendous shit that she did to her country! Still, it got Meryl Streep her third Oscar!

Hell, the book Raging Bull make Jake LaMotta look even worse than the movie did! Still, it got Robert DeNiro his Best Actor Oscar, and the inspiration for generations of actors who confuse weight gain or weight loss with “good acting” or “gimme my Oscar, damnit!”.

I’m just glad Jessica has her Best Actress Oscar, and Kirsten Stewart doesn’t.

I just could not get myself immersed into the plot of the film because Chastain's horrible makeup work was incredibly distracting to me. I love Chastain as an actress, and I can totally understand why she was nominated for an Oscar AND WON. However, I am still trying to understand how The Eyes of Tammy Faye was nominated for (AND WON) Best Achievement in Makeup. WTF? DId the Academy members who voted watched the same film I did?? Same thing happened to me with Being The Ricardos. Nicole Kidman's makeup was awful and awfully distracting. It totally destroyed the illusion and took the film into the infamous "uncanny valley."

Speaking of faces, now there’s a still of Jessica’s reaction to The Slap^TM at 2:51 -

Andrew Garfield is definitely texting about this in the background.

My thought would be “Great, no one’s going to care who else won tonight!”

She looks stunned to me, like, "Is this part of an act, or did that really happen?"

I want to see this but the link coming up broken for me. Is it working for others?

[Metizia]

Yeah it's working for me it shows SNL Weekend Update.

I quadrupled checked the link, and it was working for me. Are you outside of the USA, Ridha?

I just went to the first page of this thread, and the very first post mentioned Jessica Chastain possibly playing Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales.

The irony that she wins the Best Actress Oscar against another actress who did play Princess Diana (Kristen Stewart)!

[Ridha]

Yes I am, that must be it. Will try and YouTube it, it sounds good.

Jessica Chastain takes aim at airline over her "$15 Credit" for broken in-flight entertainment.

That does feel a little low for Jet Blue to refund 1% of her flight price, but very few have sympathy when celebrities whine about a minor inconvenience.
