I find it inspiring that you can campaign for an Oscar. It gives me hope that if I become rich and famous enough, I too can one day win one. Just rub the right shoulders and bam
You'll never get one if this is the only thing you rub.
As for Mo’Nique herself, she’s a genuine primitive... Or so I think. Did she pretend not to understand the financial benefits of an Oscar race during that talk-show chat or is she really that thick? I thought her [Golden Globe] acceptance speech felt acted and lacked class. I thought her ‘talk to my husband’ reply to Tom O’Neil was major chickenshit. And the hairy legs thing was just astounding. Has an Oscar contending actress ever been on the red carpet with visible Yeti hair on her calves?... Mo’Nique’s spotty campaign and the certainty of her winning the Oscar is proof that you don’t have to campaign as much as most publicists think you have to... IF you’re the only real standout in your category and IF you’ve got every critics group going ‘baaaah!’ and giving you a win almost every time at bat. Plus there was never a strong Mo’Nique alternative choice. I found her performance and personality genuinely unappealing. Which of course makes me a racist. Naturally. END.
The fact that you have to campaign for the Oscar is ridiculous in the first place, not sure why people are so mad when Aniston does it
Yep. From the trailer and teasers, she's doing a great job in the movie. If the critics are not gonna hype her up, then she should hype herself up. The rest is on the committee.
Like countless other people haven't done the same exact thing Jen is doing in order to get recognition for their crappy movies. What difference does it make when she does it?
