Valonqar Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 44 minutes ago, CoolioD1 said: she was like the runner up choice for rogue one and rose in last jedi. so clearly someone at lucasfilm likes her and clearly someone else at lucasfilm doesn't. she wasn't a runner-up, ever. she was just one of several rumored names. There was that completely BS rumor that she was cast in RO which was never going to happen with Felicity having a recent Oscar nom on her resume. Felicity was always the one to beat because she had the hottest career at the time of casting. That's always the main factor. Moreover, Maslany's too old for Rose and it seems that they wanted Paige to have a bigger role originally, but had to cut her down due to Disney request to beef up TFA cast. They were clearly looking for actresses in their 20s (Belle Powley, Olivia Cooke, KMT) and their 30s (Malsany, Gina Rodriguez) for 2 different roles. I remember rumors that there were 3 new big female roles. One turned out to be Rose, another Holdo and Paige got minimized. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valonqar Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) This BS! Why is this beautiful youngish woman in a frumpy make up and wig stealing roles from genuine unattractive elderly actresses? C'mon twitter, lets riot!

Between this and Boy Erased, it's not a good time for Her Hair in Movies. Who knew we could count on Aquaman to be the Hair-Hero we deserve.

Valonqar Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I wished Nic won the Oscar for Moulin Rouge. She's a stunning woman and should have won at least one where she looked like herself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 The true crime of that year's Oscars was in not nominating Naomi Watts for giving the best performance of the decade. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dxmatrixdt Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 if this is about a WW2 Destroyer then it might have promise. I do not know if they can remake Battleship though and make it about a Battleship. I'm pretty sure they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on Annapurna for having a keen eye for projects. Until raves for Gaga, Viola, another. It's always like that. A movie comes out. Actor gets raves, is deemed frontrunner. few ours later, another actor rinse repeat. That's festival season. Never forget Jackie after TIFF. many of those super raved become non-factors when critics, guilds, televised precursors start pushing for only 1. That's why awards season is boring when awards get handed out. It's mostly sweeps so you see the winner from miles away. Point is, too early to call anyone the front runner. @Joel M Good call on The Others. Another Nicole 2001 that stood the test of time. Too lazy to look who won that year but she owned it hands down.
