Melissa Leo won Oscar for this?!
Seriously?
shareYeah. And Marisa Tomei won the Oscar for My Cousin Vinny. Don't take the oscars so seriously, it's just an awards show to promote movies.

She's awesome in everything she's bee in. Just because she doesn't play a drug addict doesn't make her performance less worthy. And honestly she had no real competition in that category that year. Bonham Carter is an amazing actress but she had nothing to do in King's Speech except you know... not play a crazy character.

LOL!! Good point, I really liked Leo in TF & Tomei in MCV. Their characters would probably be best friends, that sure as hell would be very entertaining to see them in a scene or a skit together.

I agree -- the same year, Adams or Hailee Steinfield did much better jobs
