OSCAR 2015: BEST ACTRESS <\/strong><\/p>\n A psychopathic murderous; an intellectual dealing with early symptoms of Alzheimer; a young woman carrying the consequences of her bad decisions; a desperate woman facing financial crisis and struggling to maintain her family safe; and a devoted wife capable of enduring the unimaginable. These are the five Oscar contenders for Best Actress this year. Who deserves the award? This year\u2019s race is certainly a very odd one. 2014 wasn\u2019t that amusing for leading female roles, making the supporting field more attractive, but they ended up ignored, example Tilda Swinton in everything she was in. Lacking a reasonably Oscar-worthy performance, studios put out a marketing strategy, promoting Julianne Moore\u2019s tour-de-force performance in \u201cStill Alice\u201d as the front-runner. The film made a week-run in two theaters in December in order to be eligible, while \u201cTwo Days, One Night\u201d for which French star Marion Cotillard is up for, opened on Christmas Eve. The other three nominees, Rosamund Pike \u201cGone Girl\u201d, Reese Witherspoon \u201cWild\u201d and Felicity Jones \u201cTheory of Everything\u201d, had their chances kicked off early in Fall when their respective films opened to great buzz and enthusiastic box-office results. Back then, specialists were already talking about Moore, even though no-one had seen the film yet. So, why wasn\u2019t the film pushed to the next season, giving Moore a better and honest opportunity to earn a deserved achievement, specially being probably the most complete contemporary American actor? She certainly deserves the honor, but the whole thing feels like a hysterical marketing scheme, rushing audiences to see the film just weeks before Cinema\u2019s most prestigious Night. In other words, none of the other performances really mattered when they picked their nominees, considering Moore\u2019s film wasn\u2019t even available in theaters. Most importantly, the last two Oscar-winning Actresses had won for neurotic, on a verge and desperate female roles, who spent the entire film dealing with personal crisis and popping up pills as a form of relief for the facts they couldn\u2019t face: Jennifer Lawrence in \u201cSilver Linings Playbook\u201d and last year\u2019s Cate Blanchett in \u201cBlue Jasmine\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With this pharmaceutical aspect in mind, suggesting the use of chemical drugs in order to process life\u2019s issues, this should be the time for a change. While Moore\u2019s character engages on a necessary treatment, Witherspoon\u2019s character had decided to journey the desert to analyze her own twisted life-style, including promiscuity and drug abuse. In the other hand, Rosamund gives an unforgettable and tremendously scary performance as a maniac, whose actions of faking her own murder, will be remembered as one of Cinema\u2019s most cruel guilty pleasures. And why isn\u2019t she running on the supporting category? Despite these fallen characters, the two other nominees demonstrate courage, determination and strength in a better level: Marion, as a waged worker, struggling and humiliating herself to keep her job, and Felicity Jones as the supportive, resistant and enduring wife of a disabled scientist. Another aspect worth noticing is the suicide attempts so constant in the industry now-a-days. Somehow, some cinematic experiences tend to drag one spouse into a drastic situation where they suggest the other should bring their suffering to an end. It happens with Moore, and while Pike fakes her own murder, Witherspoon and Cotillard make their attempts on their own. Of course, they\u2019re all great, strong, powerful and important performances, portraits of real-life personalities and social issues, but with all the despair, why not promote some hope and family values depicted by Jones\u2019 character as the devoted wife? Her superb performance is a fierce example of hope, faith and restitution, highlighting the meaning of existence and avoiding completely any ideas of surrendering or giving up on love. I won\u2019t be very pleased if Moore wins, but I\u2019ll respect that. My favorite is Cotillard but I\u2019m hoping the Academy decides to change the trend, honoring the experiences of a good wife this time. Otherwise, ladies will be aware of the trick: all they need is to go wild and hopeless. Good Luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" OSCAR 2015: BEST ACTRESS A psychopathic murderous; an intellectual dealing with early symptoms of Alzheimer; a young woman carrying the consequences of her bad decisions; a desperate woman facing financial crisis and struggling to maintain her family safe; and a devoted wife capable of enduring the unimaginable.
