Why? She has like 10 lines in the whole movie. The best one being "No no no.".
Amount of lines have never been a criteria for Oscar Noms so I don't know why you brought that up
IMO, Her performance was crucial to the overall feel of the movie.

By black people mostly. White people didn't give a shyt about Get Out as much as you would like to think. Hence why all the cac movies are cleaning up. Lady Bird and 3 Billboards were the worst movies I saw last year, but cacs are praising them. Get Out doesn't have a chance with the line up of cac films this year.
They were the ones that were hyping it up the most. I work with some older country white guys that were telling me how good the movie was and I needed to go see it. When I went to go see it probably half of the people in the packed audience were white. :laugh:

Irrelevant. Movies with no dialogue at all have been nominated for Oscars. Actors with no dialogue at all have been nominated for Emmys, etc.

Fred.
Yea, the deaf girl from Shape of Water is nominated, but she gave an outstanding performance.

Yea, but we are talking about the cac Oscars here. She isn't a cac or well known actress. IMO her performance wasn't Oscar nom worthy. She was creepy af though.

Now Tiffany Haddish should have gotten a nom.:yeshrug: But cacs only seem to allow one black per category.

Funny. Older cacs at my workplace were calling it nonsense. Maybe cause I'm in Canada though.

Mary J and Octavia were both nominated for supporting actress.

Whether it’s the “Cac” Oscars or not has nothing to do with if she was worthy of a nomination.
