Thanks for starting this :yay:
Viola is amazing. Please add me :sigh: |
I was shocked she didn't have a thread yet!
And after having seen Prisoners and The Help recently I thought she deserved one! :) I'm planning on catching HTGAWM S2 on Netflix soon! |
Yes, she definitely deserved a thread :yay:
She's great in Fences as well :sigh: |
oh you've seen that one already? It's on my list!
She's gotten good recognition for it with a BAFTA and Globe so I am curious about the chances of her getting an Oscar now! |
Yes, I have seen it online :nod: It was very well performed and I think she has great chances to win the Oscar this year :yay:
|
That's cool! :)
Does she have major competition actually? |
Well all nominated performances are great, but she's being like receiving almost all the major awards.
|
Well that improves her chances of getting it! :P
|
Exactly :woot:
I still think she deserved to win for The Help :thud: |
oh she definitely did! I love her role in that one!
The way she treated that little girl with her 'you're special' song! So sweet My heart broke when she was fired from that family! |
Yeah, she was amazing :love:
And that last scene when she was leaving the house :bawl: |
Oh that was heartbreaking! :( :( That shouting :(
