The people on AwardsWatch and IMDB were dragging Eddie Redmayne for his promotional tactics but I saw so few of them criticize Jennifer Aniston and her Born This Way-sized promotion for Cake. Hypocrisy.
Ani has people brainwashed.
Luckily, people with sense can see through it (see: the Oscars saying NO)
6 E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial $2,310,000,000 1982
7 The Ten Commandments $2,187,000,000 1956
8 Doctor Zhivago $2,073,000,000 1965
9 Jaws $2,027,000,000 1975
10 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs $1,819,000,000S 1937
.. is the rest of the top ten worldwide. Snow White's impact.
Can't really think of anyone who has two roles as instantly recognizable as Mary Poppins and Maria. The fact that they're so ingrained in our culture that they're still known and loved 50+ years later is truly impressive.
And these pop stans like to talk about "iconic" performances that happened, like, a month ago.
Worst part is I would probably like it.
