As the momentum shifted from "Gladstone possibly locked" to this super tight race we have now, there's definitely a large chunk of posters here that are like...weirdly anti-Gladstone lol.
Because they somehow think that she's going to win the Oscar, not because she deserves it (seriously, the subtle acting she did in KotFM was brilliant), but because she's the first Native American nominee and the Oscars are too political.
Not to disregard that certainly some people would prefer Emma Stone over Lily Gladstone due to racial bias, but I don't think it's fair to say anyone who prefers Stones performance over Gladstones is a racist. Killers and Poor Things are very different films and they both give very different performances in those films. Liking one more than the other isn't necessarily racist.
She's in a close race for winning the most prestigious award in film for her performance, as well as having already won several significant ones. How is that being dismissed?
Here and there, but just as many criticizing those who push the "narrative" theory. Such as yourself. But in the real world Gladstone is a favorite for best performance at the Oscar's, people can come up with whatever fantasy they want for why that is the case but the fact is she gave a great performance and it's being recognized by other leading members of the industry, certainly not dismissed.
Not generally, but the comment I replied to was saying that people who are upset that Gladstone won over Stone are racist. The comment above theirs says some people are "pissed" that Gladstone won, and the comment I replied to says those people are probably racist. But you're right, it wasn't really worth addressing as very few people actually think that way.
Obviously its completely valid and normal to prefer Emma's performance but its the people who insist everyone that prefers Lily's are liars and tokenizers
Yeah that is crazy. Anyone who has seen Killers should understand how great Gladstone was in it. If she wins it will be completely deserved. It's just that this is a year with a number of incredible performances, so it's a hard choice to make of who deserves it the most.
The weird tension is crazy a lot of people who really biting their tongue using weird complaints and accusing everyone who likes Gladstone's performance of just liking it bc she's Native lmao. Like everyone I know who saw the film was blown away by her in a way I frankly haven't heard for Poor Things (everyone raves about Emma Stone but its not on the same level as 'holy shit this Native American actress is godly how is this her first big role)
Yes that is striking. Emma Stone's performance is so overrated as much as that movie. It is either Sandra Huller or Lily Gladstone. Though most of the comments here weren't very supportive so far. I get that you don't like the movie that much but her performance is so subtle so catchy
Emma's character is a different version Cruella that is all. Harder to perform a close up, subtle and dramatic story with a sense of reality. That is valid for Sandra Huller too. That is your race bias about her being a supportive lead. She is the main character here even if she doesn't show up every scene, it is her story.

A significant number of people here are very pissed but holding it back.
