Her performance in Winter’s Bone was definitely worthy of the nomination and win. She just got the award for a totally different performance the next year. 🤷♂️

Cate Blanchett should have won. Paltrow wasn't even convincing as a boy and it was hardly a challenging part, she just had to play a lovely princess who talks with a fake accent.

Gwyneth Paltrow's acceptance speech is more famous than any of her roles. It was embaressing.

Ruffalo was good imo

Really?
Oh, I gotta watch that.

Eh, I think that underrates her career a bit. Let's be honest, at this point she's probably most famous for her role as Pepper Potts in the Marvel films, I'd say followed by Se7en and then Shakespeare in Love. Probably her best work was in the arthouse film Two Lovers, where I think she more than held her own against a wonderful Joaquin Phoenix performance.

This. She sucked a lot of Weinstein dick. Hope it was worth it.

I've seen her acceptance speech mentioned and quoted in books. Even in recent ones. People who never saw any of her movies still remember her oscar speech and joke about it.

Huh! I actually hadn't ever seen it, or if I have, I have no recollection of it. There are only a few Oscar acceptance speeches from actors that come to mind to me: Sally Field's "you like me" speech, Marlon Brandon's subbing in Sacheen Littlefeather, and Cuba Gooding Jr.'s jump-for-joy speech. But I'd stand by saying that far more people have seen Paltrow in Iron Man/ the Avengers: Endgame than have seen her Oscar speech—I mean that's not even a close call.

There were 3 minutes of ugly crying, bad acting, "I don't feel very deserving", a long list of names (everyone under the sun she'd ever met), prasing Harvey, totally unimpressed audience, her own parents looked uncomfortable and embarrassed. Even Jolie's creepy incest speech a year later wasn't that painful.

Yeah I thought Spotlight was a good film but didn’t think any of the individual performances were that great
