Not to mention she whines that the reason she doesn't get more "serious" roles
is because she's too attractive.
She got lucky once. Dassit.

I will NOT sit and watch as you slander the name of the best actress of whatever generation 30 year old women belong to.
Do NOT tell me that she "got lucky" with Monster. No, getting lucky is doing a Lifetime football drama and working the awards circuit till Hollywood throws you a statue. Charlize won for Monster because she gave the best performance of the year, in a film that had next to no Oscar hopes when it was in production. She single handedly put it in contention.
She got a second nom for North Country only 2 years later, deserved a nom and WIN for Young Adult in 2011, and her work in Mad Max: Fury Road is not "generic action star" in any way, shape, or form. Is The Godfather generic crime drama? Is Titanic generic romance? Fury Road is not the epitome of an action film - the perfect specimen. And it works because her performance is smoldering, angry, and layered.
MISS ME with that drag. Does she take some cheap roles for coin? Of course she does. Million Ways to Die in the West (tho lowkey it was cute) and those trash Huntsman movies. But the fact remains that she is almost always the best part of every movie she does. Why is it that actors/actresses are obligated to only make ~art~ films once they've won an Oscar? I swear, y'all would turn on Cate Blanchett the second she did a Marvel movie.
Charlize Theron gave the best performance that won an Oscar this century, and she remains better than almost every other working actress today. Skill wise, she's on par with Marion, Cate, Viola, etc.
It might sweep the Oscars like what Birdman did when everyone else thought Boyhood would do so
