She has already won 2 academy awards by the age of 30 years old. ,she doesn't have to prove anything to anyone.there are many actors who have died,never having the honor to win An ACADEMY Award.
She probably has enough money that she doesn't need to work and only looks for roles that interest her. I saw her in You're Not You and I thought it was a great movie based on her performance. I think sometimes people are looking for reasons to say Hollywood doesn't want her but in reality maybe she doesn't want Hollywood right now ;)
Wendy Testaburger i feel like she doesn’t even do the movies for money like she genuinely loves doing movies and takes things from it no matter what it pays
Whether she deserved them or not, it's unfair to hold it against an actor or actress for winning an Oscar. It's the Academy that votes for who wins. And if some people don't like that HS happened to win 2 Oscars in a short time, blame the Academy's voters, not her.
P.S. I Love You I thought was one of Hilary Swank's best. She was amazing in that movie. Hollywood shouldn't have given up on her. She's still got potential.
Crystal Guel This movie is the best. I loved it before my husband past, and I love it even more now that he has past. She showed exactly what I felt and feel even if it's been 2 + yrs. She puts her whole emotions in her caricature.
The reason why Hollywood won't cast Hilary swank anymore is because she doesn't want to act as much as she did. She wants to live a normal life and take care of her father. Not to mention, her fiancé just left her when they were about to get married so yeah, I don't blame her for not wanting to be famous anymore.
Yeah. People like Hilary swank, Hayden Christensen and others know that Hollywood can screw people over. Not to mention, they have other interests too.
+EMAN67 (Movies,politics,commentary) It's because of the clickbait title of these pieces. They should be called "Why you don't see _____ in movies recently" or something. A lot of the reasons turn out to be: "They're doing something else", "They've taken a break for family", "They're doing tv/stage acting" etc.
To be fair, there are actors who are irrelevant and are trying to be relevant again. Ie: Eddie Murphy, David Spade, Val Kilmer, Tara Reid, Lauren Graham, Fran drescher and Chris tucker.
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.
She's still a likable lady. Regardless of her pursuit of acting roles lately. She has 2 Oscars and no ones gonna take them away. Even if her star is fading - she's achieved a lot.
And her two Oscars was very well deserved, brilliant performance in Million Dollar Baby. She deserved her double Oscar win unlike Gwyneth Paltrow for Shakespeare In Love
She's an incredible actress and if filmmakers aren't casting her it's their loss. I admire this woman's talent immensely. She did the work and she earned her Oscars!
It must cost more to cast an Oscar winner that is all I can think of the studios will cast megastars for that kind of money but winning an Oscar does not mean you are a megastar to them.
Natalie B I never said you doubted. I just wanted to point out the fact that working in indies may not pay as much but is often Oscar baiting and winning of critical acclaim. ;)
oh my god her father was sick she took a "leave" from working for a while. If I know that you should too. I know she is on the new soderberg movie. Why the hate?
Uhm... sorry to break the news to you but they DID mention Freedom Writers. Is your inattentiveness worse than my ADHD? Usually I'm the inattentive one. Just saying... Ciao! 😁
Caring for her dad is more admirable than 10 Oscars.. She's a true million dollar baby! By the way if you haven't seen this movie, watch it even if you hate boxing 🥊
@ILoveMycroft Chessy? Yes!! But I can say inner city kids really enjoyed the movie, in school when we had movie days everyone enjoyed it of course this was before Cell Phones were popular for teens lol
Totally ! Did you notice how he says 'movies that were too mediocre' ???? That movie is a piece of art, I can't remember how many times I've whatched it.
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.

While I absolutely believe that Hillary Swank deserved both of her oscars (her work in Boys Don't Cry is so real and so haunting I can't even watch that film again, and I personally think that Hillary as Brandon Teena is some of the best acting of _all time),_ I also absolutely think Annette Benning deserved an oscar for American Beauty. That was a real, full, well fleshed out, CRAZY and weird character who was portrayed very believably. Even in the extreme moments like the crying scene, the cheating scenes, the flirting with her own husband scenes, the overbearing bitch mother scenes... she was perfectly human and realistic, even sympathetic. That could not have been easy to do as an actress, to keep it out of the uncanny and hammy area with a character like her, and I do think she at least gave an oscar-_worthy_ performance, even if it ended up going to somebody else who also did a fantastic job. I think in any other year, Annette Benning WOULD have won for that role. It really was outstanding. I don't envy academy judges in years like that, when they have to make decisions that difficult. I wouldn't have been able to choose, personally.
Hillary Swank deserves every bit of success she's got, and I hope she goes on to do more movies. She a great actress, humanitarian and a bloody brilliant daughter. Such a shame we don't have more, down to earth, caring, loving people in Hollywood, she's a shining example to everyone.
In all seriousness, there is probably something about her off-beat looks (by Hollywood standards) that make it hard for her to be cast in conventional lead roles. But she's also too big a name to take supporting parts.
Hilary Swank did NOT "Star in" Beverly Hills 90210, she was part of a storyline for 16 episode's! This channels shitastic job of stretching information is a pile about as high as the narrator is tall!
That might be true. But she wasn't a star of the show BECAUSE she was fired. That isn't false. Swank has even talked about it saying it was a blessing in disguise because thats what freed her to do Boy Don't Cry. So the statement is not inaccurate. She WAS brought on to be a major love interest/new cast member. And when the audience didn't like her and her storyline so she was fired.
Usually when accomplished actors and actresses disappear for no apparent reason, some bullshit has gone down behind the scenes that haven't been publicized.
Erika Hernandez I don't know about the most convincing actress, whatever that means. But there are more actresses as talented or more talented than Hillary swank.
this guy narrating this video or whoever wrote the script for it is reaching. “Was she great or was she just in great movies?”- she was in those movies as the lead, she was great and that’s why the movies were great
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind, that she deserved the oscar for Boys Don't Cry. That was a tour de force of acting. Both in terms of preparation and execution, she was brilliant. If it was a sprinting contest, she would have been first across the finish line.
I think she's just living her life bc she feels kind of accomplished already. She's given excellent performances in more than those two movies. I just think she enjoys acting and using her money to do what she can as a human being to help others. She seems like an incredibly down to earth woman and I think she's okay not being in Hollywood at this age.
I love that she cares more about her dad than her career. I think she has her priorities straight. I never understood how some actors are at award shows or movie sets far away when their loved ones are dying and then say their loved one would want it that way. If my son were at a movie premiere or some function while I was dying I would haunt them forever. Ungrateful punk. But anyway, she seems great.
She is fantastic. Two incredible films and performances. Very powerful face. Not the bland cookie cutter. This is a time of change and powerful women roles are growing. I have no doubt she'll be back.
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.
I would love to see her in more movies. I could see her doing all kinds of movies, def would like to see more of the athletics, gold medalist story, rise to success types.
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.
Hillary Swank is special, hard to put a finger on it. When she’s acting the look in her eyes when she’s happy is beyond real and so natural and amazing
I love her! I think she gave a great performance in Amelia, but the movie wasn't so great. She gives it her all in movies, and I really appreciate that. --Unfortunately, there is a movie industry that tends to place profit over story (my response to what was said in this video). The movie industry is a business, and making money becomes their first priority.
Morgen Vade That's true. Actresses have to be young and sexy. You reminded me of this article I read about young actresses, who are always given an older man as her love interests--bleh!!!
yes I agree that she was great in Amelia, but the film was mediocre. she was also great in Conviction , which came out the following year. (bonus, Sam Rockwell plays her brother in that film). I think she's always great, just sometimes the movies don't measure up to her talent. The last thing I saw that she was in was The Homesman; I think that was last year. looked like a decent movie but I doubt anyone saw it. I have to check it out some time. I can't wait for that Starz project; sounds great and lots of talented people attached.
She did amazing as Amelia Earhart! She captured her essence so well and she has the look and body for it. She's an amazing actor because she fully becomes the character and taps into the emotion needed. It's all about finding roles that allow her to showcase that raw emotion.
Well, "Million Dollar Baby," was grim stuff. It might have been easier to digest had we learned the evil boxer who caused her ultimate death had been permanently banned from boxing, as she would have been in real life! "Mystic River" was another grim film without any redeeming resolution to it. It's like Eastwood was picking projects to purge his soul of some sort of demons, and trying to make the audience suffer along with him! At least "Grand Torino" had a conclusion that was stomachable by the audience, but Hey, some people raved about the two earlier films, which only proves the entire matter is extremely subjective.
Hollywood and society are both harder on women than men, especially women not in their 20's anymore. I'm sort of upset with the tone of this clip. Particularly insensitive to be narrated by a man. And also, Freedom Writer's wasn't a mediocre movie, folks just weren't ready to give an award to a movie about Black people trudging out of the trenches a becoming successful.
Fell in love with her after seeing The Next Karate Kid, it empowered me as a child being female, she was beast in that movie! Thanks for being inspiration Mrs. Swank.
I always liked Hilary Swank. If she plays a combat officer in Afghanistan, in a part written for a man, she might win a third Oscar. She always does better in tough, demanding roles. How about that mom who just won Olympic gold in swimming at age 46?
I adore her and hope her new show will kick ass. I think its great she took some time off for her Pops, I've got an ailing Dad myself and there are days that just take a toll and the job is the last thing you care about.
Funny you should mention Sorvino, because Joan Allen should have won that year for her portrayal of Pat Nixon in Oliver Stone's film, "Nixon." Any actress that could make Pat Nixon appear in any way sexy, as Allen managed to do, deserved the Academy Award hands down!
NavySharkz there are scores of character actors who never get nominated much less win that anatomical lifeless statue and continue to find work until they retire !!
She has already won 2 academy awards by the age of 30 years old. ,she doesn't have to prove anything to anyone.there are many actors who have died,never having the honor to win An ACADEMY Award.
Yep
Dude Al Pacino is 80 YEARS OLD
. The greatest actor ever has only one 1 Oscar. Does he have anything to prove too? No. Oscar is just bullshit man
Except Academy Awards are political bullshit, and there's no honor in winning them.
@@Izaan2810 Exactly. It's just a bunch of Hollywood self congratulations. It means nothing.
That's the point. A lot of actors with way more memorable and honorable careers.
She probably said no to Weinstein.
Bruh..
Exactly!!
You know, that was the first thing I thought on seeing the title of this video. It wouldn't surprise me.
Many did say no.
The implication is that most said yes, and that is NOT true.
Or maybe he said no to her
Tom Hanks won two Oscars in two years and he seemed to do ok.
i fucking love tom hanks
yea but he's TOM fucking HANKS
okay well Christoph Waltz won two oscars with one year apart.
Okay then explain Cristoph Waltz. he won an oscar 2 times right after eachother, explain that
His butt didn't get fat.
Watched her in "I am Mother" recently, brilliant film and she did a brilliant performance, she deserves more roles.
P]milkman

+0
Pp?
yea i watched her in Iron Jawed Angels
Just came here after watching that movie. She's been in quite a few good movies actually, not just mediocre stuff.
I think her performance in I am mother was pretty bad
Her time has come and gone.
"She won two Oscars two quickly"
What a joke of a reason to not cast haha
The joke is on the Oscar community
What a joke this channel is to not even use proper spelling of too*
She is hot I don't care what Kevin says
Are we prepared to let the Kevins of the world decide anything for us? Anything at all? We don't even give him full internet access.
Lol
See what u did there
thumbs up
Oh my GODDDDD
What a complete load of nonsense. This "journalist" thinks he's clever but he couldn't analyse his way out of a loose pair of undies.
Truuuu broooo
Or a wet paper bag.. 🙄🤮🤮
Exactly she’s just picky about what she does I am mother was amazing
She's not lucky. She's a mixture of two qualities of a great actress: passion and skill.
Above all, she is an actress, not a star.. So she does not beat Hollywood system
@@deliapasqualini970 she is a star
@@deliapasqualini970 or she was
So there people out there that are just jealous of her being a two-time oscar winner?
WHAT ELSE is fricken NEW?!?
Sounds like you easily discredit all her hard work and talent to concluding that she’s just lucky. Crap to the core!
She has always been an excellent actress, and after seeing this, I respect her even more.
Best actress I've seen my entire life. I love her movies. She deserve more Oscar's 👍
I'm a one man band on youtube. Hope you can enjoy one of my songs.
She probably has enough money that she doesn't need to work and only looks for roles that interest her. I saw her in You're Not You and I thought it was a great movie based on her performance. I think sometimes people are looking for reasons to say Hollywood doesn't want her but in reality maybe she doesn't want Hollywood right now ;)
Yea, definitely !
Ikr. Why bother working anymore when you have made a ton of money already?
One film making prob set for 5year 😂😂😂
Wendy Testaburger i feel like she doesn’t even do the movies for money like she genuinely loves doing movies and takes things from it no matter what it pays
Yaaas!
Hilary Swank IS an amazing actress and absolutely deserved those oscars. She can do any roll and make it phenomenal!
So true. Check out "Insomnia". She steals that movie from Al Pacino and Robin Williams.
One of d worst movies ever, nothing to steal. it cured my insomnia.
Whether she deserved them or not, it's unfair to hold it against an actor or actress for winning an Oscar. It's the Academy that votes for who wins. And if some people don't like that HS happened to win 2 Oscars in a short time, blame the Academy's voters, not her.
Can she do a combat roll like Arnold though??
Stay gold.
She can do any ROLL?? Even egg?
P.S. I Love You I thought was one of Hilary Swank's best. She was amazing in that movie. Hollywood shouldn't have given up on her. She's still got potential.

How dare they insult such a phenomenal actress! Ive seen her in so many good films/roles. Im always moved & impressed by her performances.
The reason why Hollywood won't cast Hilary swank anymore is because she doesn't want to act as much as she did. She wants to live a normal life and take care of her father. Not to mention, her fiancé just left her when they were about to get married so yeah, I don't blame her for not wanting to be famous anymore.
I can see that.

There are more important things in life than Hollywood.

She's great, I don't care what the "Oscars" say. If she makes commercials I'd watch it.
Hillary Swank is an AWESOME, GOOD HEARTED person!.
But is she hot?
yessssssss
Sebastian Moran You sure Are Amazing😂
@@sebastianmoran4813 No, Hollywood wants actresses in the Nicole Kidman mold.
maybe she is satisfied after winning 2 oscars and does not have the same interest for acting.
It must cost more to cast an Oscar winner that is all I can think of the studios will cast megastars for that kind of money but winning an Oscar does not mean you are a megastar to them.
age and beauty still count a lot in hollywood.
No I think she just selects projects she wants to work on more carefully. Like a good movie every two years is better than crappy 10 every year
+Natalie B But it builds more credibility. Take a look at Michelle Williams for example.
Natalie B I never said you doubted. I just wanted to point out the fact that working in indies may not pay as much but is often Oscar baiting and winning of critical acclaim. ;)
oh my god her father was sick she took a "leave" from working for a while. If I know that you should too. I know she is on the new soderberg movie. Why the hate?
Isabelle Mani because he’s a pathetic tabloid journalist. Everything they do is petty...
Oh so that is what happened. Sad.
She out classes 98% of all women look at her beautiful powerful talented two-time Oscar winner she's a goddess everywhere she goes she floats on air
I beg to differ with this, I love how Looper completely failed to mention Freedom Writers or Conviction, two excellent films.
Uhm... sorry to break the news to you but they DID mention Freedom Writers. Is your inattentiveness worse than my ADHD? Usually I'm the inattentive one.
Just saying...
Ciao! 😁
she always remind me of Jennifer Gardner for some reason
A much more talented Jennifer Gardner.
Chronoic yeah wayy more talented
Timothy_Terror Matt Damon what?
Garner people Garner
garner must have 10 gallons of botox in the face now
She's very talented, not everybody's career follows a predictable or conventional arc. She'll be back.
Just finished watching Million Dollar Baby on Netflix. Very emotional film.
It so isn't. It's much deeper and better movie than Rocky, even though the first two Rockys are also great.
I cried twice
You're blind if you only see it as that. Not all boxing movies are like Rocky you know, jeez.
LMET T you know nothing about movies...
@@petarvujchich1211 Nah, the first two Rocky's are classics, they are the very best
I’m waiting for her to do a comeback story just like Renée Zellweger did this year and win her third Oscar
Caring for her dad is more admirable than 10 Oscars.. She's a true million dollar baby!
By the way if you haven't seen this movie, watch it even if you hate boxing 🥊
How can anyone doubt his performance in Boys don't cry !? She was amazing !

Loved her in Freedom Writers! A true story that represents society still 🙌🏽🙏🏽
"Iron Jawed Angels" & "Freedom Writers" were awesome Hillary Swank films - making a much bigger positive difference to humanity than most films do.
💯. Hero of mine.

There was a time when I could not differentiate between Hillary Swank, Jennifer Garner and Julia Roberts.😂
Yeah, big ugly biches who idiots think are hot.

I can't differentiate between Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire. Or Mark "Scumbag" Wahlberg and Matt Damon. Or Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley.
Yeah, Hilary and Jennifer look like they could be sisters. I had the same problem telling apart Jessica Biel and Rebecca Hall O.o
She undoubtedly is a great actress. Why is "The Homesman" not mentioned here? It was heartbraking. She has a real face, not just a pretty facade.
No, Bette Davis is a great actress.
Bucky Brown you're obsessed with an era not an actress. when Bette Davis can be a convincing man then I'll agree. it's easy to act pretty n rich.
SHE WAS MY NEIGHBOR AND I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH HER COUSIN STEVE .
I think that she could at least make some episodes of Cobra Kai.
Why didn't get an Oscar for freedom writers?
Because it was a stupid movie that only appealed to high school kids.
Lots of movies that are clear Oscar bait end up falling flat. Freedom Writers was one of those films
It was fucking retarded
because it was stupid and dumb
Aidan King
''Freedom writers'' is Hollywood anti white liberal race baiting at its finest
What a lady! with a good head on her shoulders. She is beautiful in and out. :-)

In picture of cast from 90210 (at 36 seconds)….is she in that pic? (and again at 1:36?????)
No shes not. It looks like just the orignal cast.
Not only she is an amazingly talented and beautiful actress , she is an amazing person! A very rare thing in today's America!
Hillary Swank deserves every bit of success she's got, and I hope she goes on to do more movies.
She a great actress, humanitarian and a bloody brilliant daughter.
Such a shame we don't have more, down to earth, caring, loving people in Hollywood, she's a shining example to everyone.
Hilary Swank is absolutely gorgeous.
It's cool that you have a brail keyboard.
Ha ha ha...good sense of humor, still like her though. By the way, it's Braille.
I like her too, she just tore up. Braille, thanks.
But srsly, blind people and Amish --@
In all seriousness, there is probably something about her off-beat looks (by Hollywood standards) that make it hard for her to be cast in conventional lead roles. But she's also too big a name to take supporting parts.
no.. she's not gorgeous. she looks like matt damon had a sex change
still an okay actress though. and she had a good enough run.
Hilary Swank did NOT "Star in" Beverly Hills 90210, she was part of a storyline for 16 episode's! This channels shitastic job of stretching information is a pile about as high as the narrator is tall!

BINGO! She wasn't even on for one season!
+Burt Schoeppe Ill bet they confused 90210 with Buffy the Vampire Slayer which had Hillary Swank and Luke Perry in it.
I think you might be right!
That might be true. But she wasn't a star of the show BECAUSE she was fired. That isn't false. Swank has even talked about it saying it was a blessing in disguise because thats what freed her to do Boy Don't Cry. So the statement is not inaccurate. She WAS brought on to be a major love interest/new cast member. And when the audience didn't like her and her storyline so she was fired.
I guess they were defining "starring" differently.
Freedom Writers was an amazing project and way too underrated.
what music is this thanks
she was great. The mot convincing acting I've ever seen.
You haven't seen much...

Lol, they WON'T cast her but yet she is cast in 3 different movies right now..
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind, that she deserved the oscar for Boys Don't Cry. That was a tour de force of acting. Both in terms of preparation and execution, she was brilliant. If it was a sprinting contest, she would have been first across the finish line.
Uh "we're looking at you Gwyneth Paltrow" lol
Why should it matter that she won 2 Oscars within 5 years?, please enlighten me?
I think she's just living her life bc she feels kind of accomplished already. She's given excellent performances in more than those two movies. I just think she enjoys acting and using her money to do what she can as a human being to help others. She seems like an incredibly down to earth woman and I think she's okay not being in Hollywood at this age.
I love that she cares more about her dad than her career. I think she has her priorities straight.

She seems to be a great human being. Who knows what is going to happen tomorrow. She deserves good things. The title for this video has nothing to do.
She kills me with these videos, um, maybe these actors want to take some damn time off.
I think she will see a resurgence in her career as she ages.
I would love to see her in more movies. I could see her doing all kinds of movies, def would like to see more of the athletics, gold medalist story, rise to success types.
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.
Hillary Swank is special, hard to put a finger on it. When she’s acting the look in her eyes when she’s happy is beyond real and so natural and amazing
SHE IS AMAZING!
I love her! I think she gave a great performance in Amelia, but the movie wasn't so great. She gives it her all in movies, and I really appreciate that.
--Unfortunately, there is a movie industry that tends to place profit over story (my response to what was said in this video). The movie industry is a business, and making money becomes their first priority.
They do not want performers they want dolls who have some talent but will spread their legs and do whatever is presented to them.
Morgen Vade That's true. Actresses have to be young and sexy. You reminded me of this article I read about young actresses, who are always given an older man as her love interests--bleh!!!
those missing eyebrows were clearly her downfall for that movie !!
yes I agree that she was great in Amelia, but the film was mediocre. she was also great in Conviction , which came out the following year. (bonus, Sam Rockwell plays her brother in that film). I think she's always great, just sometimes the movies don't measure up to her talent. The last thing I saw that she was in was The Homesman; I think that was last year. looked like a decent movie but I doubt anyone saw it. I have to check it out some time. I can't wait for that Starz project; sounds great and lots of talented people attached.
She did amazing as Amelia Earhart! She captured her essence so well and she has the look and body for it. She's an amazing actor because she fully becomes the character and taps into the emotion needed. It's all about finding roles that allow her to showcase that raw emotion.
She's always been one of my favorites.
he just called iron jawed angels a mediocre film. she pretended to get force fed by a tube down her throat. that whole movie is just so good.
She deserved her 2nd Oscar. Amazing movie. Character. Everything
She is an amazing actress and must beeing nominated for the movie "You are not you " an won for that !! She was just brillant !
Freedom Writers was my moooviiie
I get Hilary swank missed with Jenifer garner for some reason. but million dollar baby was good.
I mix her up with Helen Hunt, which I think is more weird :D
+jazztom86 I confuse her with Jimmy Fallon
+Oscar Wildstyle I can easily see why, although she is indeed funnier than him. Even in Boys don't cry and Million Dollar Baby.
I once called the cops because Hillary Swank had broken into my house but it turned out that it was just my hamster.
Well, "Million Dollar Baby," was grim stuff. It might have been easier to digest had we learned the evil boxer who caused her ultimate death had been permanently banned from boxing, as she would have been in real life! "Mystic River" was another grim film without any redeeming resolution to it. It's like Eastwood was picking projects to purge his soul of some sort of demons, and trying to make the audience suffer along with him! At least "Grand Torino" had a conclusion that was stomachable by the audience, but Hey, some people raved about the two earlier films, which only proves the entire matter is extremely subjective.
no mention of Freedom Writers?????????!!!!!!!!!?!?!
Hollywood and society are both harder on women than men, especially women not in their 20's anymore. I'm sort of upset with the tone of this clip. Particularly insensitive to be narrated by a man. And also, Freedom Writer's wasn't a mediocre movie, folks just weren't ready to give an award to a movie about Black people trudging out of the trenches a becoming successful.
Fell in love with her after seeing The Next Karate Kid, it empowered me as a child being female, she was beast in that movie! Thanks for being inspiration Mrs. Swank.
never watched it but if you say its good than it is
Breaking-- /c thinking for ourselves is overrated. :P
ben A also knowing when to shut up is a virtue
I always liked Hilary Swank. If she plays a combat officer in Afghanistan, in a part written for a man, she might win a third Oscar. She always does better in tough, demanding roles. How about that mom who just won Olympic gold in swimming at age 46?
I loved her in you're not you. omg I have never cried so much
WHO is she in the photos from 90210?? I never watched it and can't believe she was in it!
Hilary Swank. I'm a fan. Great work.
Best actress ever!
What?
Wasn't she in The Martian, though?
And the new Jason Bourne movie too
+Timothy_Terror I was thinking they could cast her as Jason Bourne's little sister. Very strong resemblance to Matt Damon.
jesus use fucking google really
Timothy_Terror No to both.
Methinks a few people didn't get the joke
Timothy_Terror I knowwww. I consider myself a little slow sometimes... but the pedantics among us.
They never even mentioned the only movie she ever did that mattered... The Core.
Vern Hestand III is this sarcasm?
Here after 'Away'. She is amazing
She's a fabulous actress!! I love her in all her movies. Probably all the other mediocre actresses are just scared👍
I adore her and hope her new show will kick ass. I think its great she took some time off for her Pops, I've got an ailing Dad myself and there are days that just take a toll and the job is the last thing you care about.
Winning an Oscar too early in a career can mean unemployment. Just ask Mira Sorvino.
Did she get that for Romy and Michelle right?😂
Funny you should mention Sorvino, because Joan Allen should have won that year for her portrayal of Pat Nixon in Oliver Stone's film, "Nixon." Any actress that could make Pat Nixon appear in any way sexy, as Allen managed to do, deserved the Academy Award hands down!
also TATUM o'NEIL !!
That is crazy. By that logic maybe Annette Benning should be glad that she hasn't won one yet, it keeps her working.
NavySharkz there are scores of character actors who never get nominated much less win that anatomical lifeless statue and continue to find work until they retire !!
seems like a nice lady
Why are you putting her down in that video.
Did you just forget about freedom writers??
They literally mentioned that movie as a "mediocre" film which it is NOT
