Melissa has been nominated for both a Best Actress Oscar for her performance in Can You Ever Forgive Me? as well as the Worst Actress Razzie for her performance in The Happytime Murders.

 

[KraytarJ]

An inspiring story of versatility really.

 

[Deleted member 11637]

Melissa McCarthy deserves that Oscar, straight up.

 

[PSqueak]

Didn't this happen to Hale Berry too the year Catwoman came out?

Sandra Bullock too I think. It happens fairly often I guess.

 

[Owarifin]

She probably won't win either of them.

Yeah, those nominations weren't at the same time though which makes this kind of extra special with McCarthy.

Halle Berry parodying her own oscar speech at the Razzies is still amazing though

 

[Dice]

Sandra Bullock is on that list. Eddie Redmayne too IIRC

Melissa McCarthy gives a great performance when she isn't too comedy. Every comedy has her acting out the same caricature

the monster's balls came out in 2001 and Catwoman was 2004 but she took her Oscar with her to the razzies ceremony

 

[Deleted member 3208]

Sandra Bullock won a Razzie and an Oscar the next day.

 

[Khanimus]

She's got range I guess...

Didn't she accept the award as well. Edit: Video above.

I'd be happy with either, but Coleman shared that movie with Stone and Weisz, whereas McCarthy was front-and-center for all of Can You Ever Forgive Me?

Anyone but Gaga, tbh.

 

[Polyh3dron]

She was awesome in Happytime Murders.. kind of a dumb razzie nom tbh

 

[Squarehard]

Worked out fine for Sandra Bullock.

 

[Einbroch]

I mean, she was hardly the worst part of HM.

 

[aisback]

It'll be super weird if she wins both.

I'm not a fan of hers to be honest

She also deserves the Razzie, straight up. She was bad in Happytime Murders.

 

[Brandon]

The Happytime Murders was great. There's plenty of room for crude humor to exist.

 

[Rayman not Ray]

The Razzies are kinda the worst.

 

[NekoNeko]

Razzies are terrible.
the concept is sort of funny but the actual awards are shit.

Really don't see how, everyone and everything was awful in that movie, its not like she stuck out compared to everything else. Everyone gave no shits about that film

I'm actually watching it right now, and yeah Aparicio is wonderful in it, especially for a fresh actor. And I've heard Gaga is incredible too, but I just want anyone besides the gorgeous beloved superstar to win. She'll have plenty of future chances.

It says a lot that there were so many incredible female roles/performances this year that it's very hard to pick a winner, whereas the Best Actor category is all but confirmed for Malek. (Ethan Hawke was robbed.)

She also deserves the Razzie, straight up. She was bad in Happytime Murders.

I believe you :)

Women can do anything.

She deserves to win.

I was actually surprised that Coleman was being nominated for Best Actress instead of Stone. It really felt like a movie where all three women equally dominated the screen, but I never felt like the queen was necessarily the "main character".

For sure. It's such an even-handed three-lead movie. It's like how Brando won for Best Actor in The Godfather despite having a much smaller role than Pacino, Caan or Duvall, who all received Supporting Actor nods.

edit:
But then, Brando was the biggest actor in that movie, which couldn't be said for Coleman. She's gonna be amazing in The Queen S3.

Not really. She is good, but there are many other better performances of last year. A lot of which didnt even get nominated

 

[Carolina Reaper]

She should get one for worst writing as well. The movies she writes with her husband have been so ridiculously awful. I definitely need to check out the movie she's nominated for though. That was written by someone incredibly talented (Nicole Holofcener)

 

[maximumzero]

Love that woman.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Razzies are beyond stupid

Call me when she holds the crown of killed by a Xenomorph, Terminator and Predator.

This and Ethan Hawke were biggest snubs.

 

[Stinkles]

Nic Cage is also the greatest and worst actor of his generation. He was in two of the best movies of 2018 and two of the worst movies of 2018. He's Schrodinger's Cast.

The XPaT? Nobody has ever won the XPaT!

EGOT, sure.

 

[Twstr709]

The Best Actress field this year is fucking STACKED.

 

[marrec]

The Razzies are stupid

 

[PopQuiz]

Maybe because the Razzies are trash and should be ignored.

 

[ryseing]

Nah. Bale has a real shot. Oscars love physical transformations.

 

[Deleted member 2085]

And it'll go to Yalitza Aparacio

 

[joecanada]

I'm totally over her comedies where she's the same white trash in every one but nice to see she got nominated for something I assume different may go check it out

 

[Christian]

So, today I learned there's an actual ceremony for the Razzies and people actually show up.

I was so excited for that performance, but it was some SNL-tier impression, and the bounce-all-over-the-timeline structure did him no favors. His Cheney doesn't feel lived-in at all. And there's a good reason they didn't show any "young Cheney" in the trailers; the makeup makes him look weirdly thick. Not fat, *thick*, like a block of Cheddar cheese.

Get you a girl who can do both

 

[Jie Li]

Well deserved.
