But she won both NSFC and LAFC, plus Volvi Cup at venice, that’s pretty big. And she’s damn good in the movie, she deserved it. If anything I’d snub Kidman, I can’t believe she was nominated everywhere with that role (and she’s probably winning??) :triggered:

With the awards she’s already won, no she didn’t come from nowhere. Just because she hadn’t slotted into any of the big name shows doesn’t mean she was not finding success elsewhere. 

Cruz didn’t steal a spot from anyone. If Gaga should replace anyone, it should be Nicole.

yeah what's the deal with her movie? she is literally taking Gaga's spot :triggered:

Nobody is guaranteed a spot. This wasn’t Gaga’s spot, it was just a spot. 

Cruz was definitely a late surger, her two trifecta wins definitely helped, but overall Parallel Mothers had a good day (score nomination as well)

Penelope was always in contention, before nominations started coming out she was one of the most expected, but after nobody nominated her she faded in the background, although people still REALLY wanted her to be nominated and at the end the clear support for her performance showed up in the Oscars.

She also is in a Spanish talking role in a film from Spain that wasn't even submitted for International Film, most award bodies don't really nominate international roles (aside from BAFTA).

Cruz is phenomenal in Parallel Mothers, and absolutely deserves this nomination. Anyone suggesting that she got in because of her ethnicity (Slovakialop, for example) probably has not seen the film to make that kind of weird leap.

She is probably the most deserving nominee out of the 5. :vegas: She's brilliant. Nicole on the other hand is in contention with one of her least good performances. Penelope should've taken up Nicole's spot in all the awards nomination lists. I love Nicole, just not this underwhelming performance.

I remember reading a month or so ago that Amazon had a lot of money invested in the marketing of the film. Guess that paid off.

I will not tolerate any Penélope slander here on this day, every actress nominated is totally deserving. But was Gaga’s role more captivating and exciting? Absolutely. It was the performance of the year and anyone saying otherwise is in deep denial.

Madres Paralelas is a really good movie and Penelope Cruz deserves the nomination. 

Gaga is an enormous talent and her peers and the public recognize that. She'll bless us with amazing performances and that will pay off sooner than later. 

❤️
