No one else but the Queen can do this: getting an Oscar nom for a movie that hasn't gotten any recognition from the critics.

The movie is fresh on RT. It isn't exactly getting destroyed  

 

But I am super happy for my Queen  She was fantastic in the movie.

So I watched this movie yesterday (not in theater though ) I thought it was overlong and get boring in parts. Nothing special but overall, it was decent.

 

I would echo some members here, I thought JLaw was great, her best performance in a while, probably since the first Hunger Games for me.

Women actually can get Best Actress nominations even from weak films (probbaly because there are so few female starring films).

But after people were so negative about American Hustle and I slipper it in theathers I am definately going to see this one even if it is not perfect.

Meryl Streep got nominated and won an Oscar for The Iron Lady, a film that was even less celebrated by critics than Joy.

Ditto for The Blind Side and Sandra. Heck, Still Alice was pretty divisive too.

The caliber of roles for women and the competition hasn't been great in years especially among the types of films that get pushed for and considered for Oscars.  Add to to that the Academy's penchant for pretty younger actresses and well...

The category is unusually young this year, with Larson and Ronan also being twenty somethings. Before this year, JLaw was the only under 30 year old in the Best Actress category this decade aside from Wallis. They're usually over 40 these days.

Brody was the only actor under 30 (Age 29) to ever win Best Actor.  Whereas 29 actresses have won in their 20s and many more in their early 30s. 

 

As of 2013

 

Best Actress is the category by far most skewed to those under 35 and under (62.35% compared to Best Actor at 14.12%) and considering that's where the majority of leading roles go to it's not surprising.

Best actress nominees and winners tend to skew much younger than their male counterparts

Yes, well of course the actresses are younger than the actors on average, that has always been the way Hollywood works unfortunately. However, having this many twenty somethings up for Best Actress is definitely not the norm.

Joy is definitely underrated. It's easy to watch it and think it's a mess, because the film's themes, those things that tie it together, are kinda subtle. The movie's not as concerned with biopic fluff or telling us about the rise of QVC so much as it's concerned with telling a story about the brutality of business and specifically the difficulty women have in business. Watch the movie and note every time two men shake hands in front of Joy and mostly ignore her in that respect. 

[John Marston]

just realized this movie flat out flopped. Less than 100m on a 60m budget. 

[teardropmina]

to me, Joy is a much better film than Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle.

 

and Rosamund Pike should've won that Oscar last year...
