Probably the best actress of 2017.
I thought she was absolutely good in mother! (2017), and I am hoping she will be nominated an Oscar. People can't really hate her and call her overrated, though she really did her best performance so far.
shareI agree that it is a powerful performance—even many bad reviews of the film have said as much. But from the buzz coming off of other films, there are a lot of other very strong performances this year, making the category of Best Actress unusually competitive.
Now you might say the same was true when she managed to get nominated for Joy, but mother! is a different animal altogether. When you consider how divisive the film was, practically hated by so many ordinary movie-goers, I think the Academy would shy away from alienating them by giving the movie such high level attention. So while it is possible she will be in the running again, I think it is highly unlikely we’ll see a nomination this year.
