I've been thinking about her a lot recently - I just got my Southern mom  her coffee table book (she tore through it in one day, loved it) and in 2001, she and Nicole Kidman were my first-ever actress crushes (with Legally Blonde and Moulin Rouge!) - no, seriously, fourth grade me was obsessed. It's so wild that they ended up working together. I think Big Little Lies is probably her best ever performance, but as for her film work: 1999: Actress, Election2005: Actress, Walk the Line2014: Actress, WildThree nominations and no wins for me. She's just outside my 2001 Best Actress lineup for Legally Blonde.  How about you? |

She’s reliable and like you, she was an early crush but a couple of years before ( Cruel Intentions ). Maybe is because of the projects but she barely registers in a stronger way with me, so just the usual roles:
‘’99. Election ( lead )
‘05. Walk the Line ( supporting )
I like her a lot in How Do You Know, but she’s stuck with a terrible script.

One of the most watchable actresses for me. Her performances in Legally Blonde, Election and Freeway are among the most enjoyable ones I've seen. If I make a list of my Top 50 favorite performances ever, these 3 are definitely gonna be in it. Be it cute romcoms like Pleasantville, musicals like Walk the Line and hard hitting dramas like Wild, when she's on, she's just magical..And I think she was the MVP of the first season of Big Little Lies. Love her!

LOVE me some Reese. Incredible 90s-2000s run, always consistent and reliable, can pull off comedy or drama with flying colors. Freeway, Election, and Legally Blonde are all IMO iconic larger-than-life comic figures that are lived-in and fully formed and all totally distinct from each other. Not a lot of actresses can say they pulled that off.
1991 - Man in the Moon
1996 - Freeway (runner-up)
1999 - Election (runner-up)
2001 - Legally Blonde
2005 - Walk the Line
2014 - Wild (runner-up)

Much better actress than what I used to think of her when she was younger and playing in these silly comedies and rom coms but not something really special imo.

Just a nom for Election. She's generally not my cup of tea.
