Felicity Jones deserves an oscar for her performance as Jyn Erso..

At the Rebellion hearing, the rebels are doubtful of Jyn's story and her credibility. Jyn

Erso(Felicity Jones) then delivers her argument that Rebellion's are built on hope and trys to get

approval for a mission to infiltrate the Empires headquarters in Scarif and get the plans for the

Death Star. Jyn Erso(Felicity Jones)'s stunning performance here was so moving that I couldn't but

break out into tears.. I know there's never been a meaningful oscar for a star wars movie,

but Felicity Jones's performance in just a few seconds here was much more convincing than any

special affects ever could in convincing me and bring me into the fictional world of star wars..

I think Felicity Jones definitely deserves an oscar for her performance as Jyn Erso in this film..

I found her performance far from convincing - especially her attempt at inspirational speeches.

But maybe this is the first time Jyn Erso had made an inspirational speech and therefore it was to be expected that she was unconvincing? Certainly her audience were mostly unconvinced (and the plot required them to be unconvinced).

That's a poor excuse because we, the audience, were supposed to be moved by what she said. Those lines of dialogue were more for us, the viewer, than it was for the characters in the film. In that sense, it failed because no one found it the least bit inspiring.

I found it quite inspiring.

Nolan, I love you forever!

If she ever deserved an Oscar, it was for "The Theory of Everything".

Instead Eddie Redmayne got one for the same film, even though he gave a much less interesting performance. He's really overrated, and basically got an Oscar for scrunching himself up in a wheelchair.

I like her a lot but no, just no.
