Is Gaga's The Countess a Golden Globe Worthy?

Well, she's one of the more entertaining and engaging characters this season.

Is that, like, amazing? Not really tbh, but it's fun, and she's shown us that she's got some substance in her realm of acting.

3 points in and ready for more

She is just as deserving as everyone else in the category, the panel responsible for choosing don't make decisions lightly, and are experts in their field, they have weighed up the variables and have deemed her worthy of a nomination. Personally for me she's more than worthy as she portrays her character perfectly and as the lead role in a major show has had critical acclaim for it.

For the first half of the season, I wouldn't think so. But from Flicker and onwards, she starts killing it!

I do think she deserved the nomination.  I don't think she will (or deserves to) win, necessarily, but her performance on AHS has been captivating and worthy of some recognition.

I agree with you. It feels more like she's being used to garner viewership as opposed to having a genuinely award-winning performance. It's all very average. Good for her first big role, but average in the grand scheme. Still waiting for Tatiana Maslany to snag a nomination.. If ANYONE deserves a win it's her.

i'm not a good judge of acting in any way. I always just stan for my fave actress that was in a movie I liked. But it's always just because they were the lead in a good movie. It's not like "this person acted better." I think she pulled off the role great, especially after these latest episodes exposed the character's back story. I think she deserves it. The lead on AHS usually gets nominated, no? It has a lot to do with that I'm sure.

Agreed! She was ok and I enjoyed her, but her acting is NOWHERE near that level compared to other actors. This is for viewers etc absolutely. Its quite telling that ALL other actors from AHS were nominated for critics choige and Gaga was nowhere to be seen...

Again, she did good, just not THAT good...

Well she took a lot of risks with this role. I mean, she has done a lot of nude scenes and she works very well with the lame vampire role she got. Plus the scene on episode 9 when she slaps and screams to Mr. March, that is definitely Golden Globes worthy.

I think I'd need to know more about the acting of the other nominees to truly understand how I feel about it. She certainly does a good job in AHS, but if I had to pick any AHS actor/actress to be nominated it'd be Lily Rabe or Sarah Paulson.

While I know everyone is excited for Gaga getting a golden globe nomination (as well as several others) for AHS I have to be completely honest.. I don't see The Countess as an amazing, jaw dropping, award winning role. It is Gaga just dipping her toes in the water of acting, and while I don't think she is a bad actress she simply wasn't a stellar one... this time.

I hope that I'm not dragged for this, I just genuinely think it comes off as a bit fraudulent for the Golden Globes to put her in the same category as the other amazing performers in her category for this particular role. If she wins, I don't think it'll be because it's the best but rather because of entertainment politics... I look forward to more acting from her, and I look forward to her getting more nominations (and maybe even wins) later on in her career but if she wins for this it won't feel genuine... Otrher fan bases will say she didn't earn it (like they did with WOTY) and unfortunately this time I'll have to agree with them.

 

First it's not up to the politics about who wins the Award Its Up To The Fans & I Think she deserved to WOTY Award because she did things most artist wouldn't dare do she completely deserved if who do you think deserved it

it's up to the fans.....? I don't think that's true. I think she's a good option for WOTY but for the GG's I think it should go to Kirsten

I doubt anyone here is claiming that she's Meryl Streep.

The thing is, she's steadily improved throughout the season, and in the latest episode she was definitively amazing.

Beyond your tone of condescension, the issue I have with your post is that you feel it's for "star power and ratings". Perhaps that may be the case, and I even I agree that it is sometimes the case in all media awards, but I don't see the point in even bringing it up. She has the nomination and it is not completely undeserved.

Why not just be happy about it? And no I'm not saying that people should agree with everything she does, but she didn't do anything here to begin with. Unless you believe that she bought the awards, it was a panel of judges that decided that she was worthy of the award for whatever reason.

If the panel of judges nominated her, then she is worthy be default, because whatever criteria they used to pick her they used to pick others. So if you have an issue with Gaga, then you have an issue with all the awards being given. Otherwise you're singling Gaga out. That's unfair.

So the issue should not be questioning whether Gaga or not deserves an award, because she does. What it should be questioning why Gaga was more deserving of the award than others. While you're at it, specify who deserves it more and for what reason, otherwise you're just being subjective. As such, those lines of questioning should be directed at the Awards panel itself, not towards Lady Gaga and definitely not in her fan forums, where she has done nothing to warrant such blatant negativity.

 

I never questioned her "buying the awards", I only said the Awards sometimes do this kind of stuff to get buzz about the awards.

 

Still, her acting is getting pretty good.

Its true our votes count you think just because gaga is a huge celebrity with hit albums hit song record breaking videos she will get favoritism no it is up to the fans who gets the award if they're gonna pick themselves we shouldn't have to vote & don't care who wins but I'm ruling for GaGa all day
