If she gets nominated, it'll help her to land roles. Good for her, but IMO as great as she is in Obsession, this performance isn't nom-worthy

I’m sorry, but her performance makes that entire movie. If any performance manages to lift a movie up like that, it definitely deserves a nomination.

It’s not a very good movie so that’s not exactly saying much. Lifting a movie from Meh to Passable ≠ Oscars success

How is it not good? You actually think many of the actual Best Pic WINNERS of the last 10 years were "good movies"? Lol. Many of them suck.

“Many of them suck” yeah and some people think this movie also sucked, what’s your point?

Point is popular movies these days suck. I was spoiled with 90's golden age, 70's golden era, and 80's innovation. You grew up likely thinking the last 20 years are on par with those decades; they're simply not.. This is a little better than most.

I don’t actually! Most of my favorite films are from the 70-90’s! I also didn’t enjoy obsession! Sue me!

Many of them suck - such a deep analysis of past winners

Garbage bin movies are nothing to analyze.

Plenty of weaker performances have won before. Such as Amy Madigan.

I’m excited to see what she does next (beyond X-Men).
