Disagree. How was she over the top? She gave her character life and sympathy.

Everything about her character was completely over the top.

Can you say some elements about her that were 'completely over the top'

[RichWS]

I've only seen about 15 minutes of The Help...

[TLK]

I know we're supposed to respect each others opinions and yada yada, but I want to punch TLK

The Help was a terrible movie so I don't blame Chastain for that role but that role had no redeeming quality.

[fishstick]

Yep, she played a caricature with no depth and had very little screen time. Didn't deserve a nomination. It is just that people wanted to award The Help. The movie itself wasn't that great so they went with as many acting awards as they could.

LOL, are you AD`s Zuranthum who wrote this unfathomable and unabsolvable abomination:

LOL, this is like talking to people who thought Miranda Otto was the best supporting actress of 2003 for Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.

Miranda Otto was a better "embodiment of grace" in The Thin Red Line than Chastain was in The Tree of Life, btw.

Could you please elaborate?

Please go back and play with your Miranda Otto voodoo dolls. I am dicussing a completely different movie and a completely different character here.

I`m just commenting on Chastain backlash. And reducing voodoo religion only to pins and dolls is bad sterotyping.

Lol. So there's more to it?

[Jack Nevada]

Chastain backlash? There's only one guy claiming she was a caricature in The Help (which is not true btw)

[Michael Gary Scott]

Bridesmaids was a great comedy because of Kirsten wiig. She deserved that nomination not McCarthy who I didn't like but loved the movie.

[Dementeleus]

I've only seen about 15 minutes of The Help...

Quoted for truth (and what I saw I thought was terrible).

Oh yeah, and McCarthy was really funny in BM.

[Michael Gary Scott]

I loved chiastain in the help her interaction with Octavia spencer was the best part of the help

I didn't really care for the Help either but I thought Chastain did a great job.

[fishstick]

Lol. So there's more to it?

Much more. Voodoo is a religion. Hoodoo is a magic. Movies and fiction sterotyped voodoo as black magic but that`s wrong. I had no idea but a girl I knew threw a fit over a comment and explained things to us.

[Jack Nevada]

TLK, could you elaborate more on your opinion of Chastain in The Help?

[BK007]

I didn't like BM at all. What an overrated movie. Typical of American comedies though.I don't see why GU and others of the ilk get lambasted when all BM really did was make the same kind of jokes, except with women.Revolutionary, my ass.Despite that, I too think that if any one of the cast was deserving of a nomination, it would be Wiig. She has subtlety in her performance and that's what acting's about. McCarthy gets one-liners but if she deserves a nomination, then Galifinakis does too or Christopher Mintz Plasse or Ken Jeong.

TLK, could you elaborate more on your opinion of Chastain in The Help?

Only if we ever meet in person.

What is this supposed to mean?
