Madam Margolyes 7,783 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 After Kristen Stewart whom garnered glowing reviews for her performance as Princess Diana in Spencer, another actress seems to be joining the conversations: Jessica Chastain in The Eyes of Tammy Faye. Although critics was rather mixed on the film itself (61 on Metacritic and 73% on Rotten Tomatoes), most if not all critics have singled out Jessica Chastain's performance as Chastain's best work in her acting career so far. The film explores the rise, fall, and redemption of the eccentric televangelist Tammy Faye, including the controversy around her and her husband's fraud scandal, her acceptance of LGBTQ views, and reaching out to HIV/AIDS patients at the height of the AIDS epidemic in the mid-80s. Some critics described her performance as "tour-de-force", "unstoppable", " a crazed, committed, effusive, and empathetic performance", " a career-best performance", "the most heartfelt performances of her career", and even one review (it's from GGD's #2 public enemy New York Post but ) said: "Tammy Faye died in 2007. Chastain’s revelation of a performance will give her new life — and the voice she never had." Here are some tweets from those who've seen it What do you think? I personally think she'll get a Best Actress nomination for this. While the film's quality and competitors from stronger movies (like Spencer) may stumble her way onto a win, a win is not entirely impossible, given the raves she's been getting. Also I think the makeup was quite distractingbut from the people who've seen it I guess it won't really matter once you watch the film. Anyway I'm just glad that she's finally getting recognized again after so long (her last nomination was almost 9 years ago). Oscar or not, but with this and Scenes from a Marriage on HBO right now, to me she's winning regardless Fingers crossed for Chastain, Stewart, and Gaga in Best Actress next year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat 18,960 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 This further proves that all Gaga needs to do is give her best. The quality of the movie won’t even affect her chances of getting great reviews. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilmonzter 2,864 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 So Kristen Stewart and Jessica Chastain are a shoe in for Best actress categories. What about our girl?! Can't wait for it.

Monster Voices 1,024 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I mean she is an amazing actress. The best performance/ movie doesn't necessarily win tho it's who the academy decides they will give it to based on god knows what. Forever and Always!

It’s all about Hollywood politics. The academy members vote for whoever they feel should win. I doubt half of them even watch the movies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PunkTheFunk 121,511 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Gaga's Oscar is cancelled...again My gut tells me that Gaga's portrayal will be too campy up against these performances. Hopefully she at least snags a nom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
