She is neither snubbed nor poor. She has about 3 too many nominations already, it's ridiculous

Everybody's talking about Streep but I was thinking Ruth Negga (snubbed by BAFTA and SAG) was actually the one who got in instead of Amy. Can we really call Negga a snub for SAG though? SAG is notorious for nominating films that get the screeners out early, for some strange reason Focus didn't send screeners until the last few days before voting closed. I don't know why people think Negga was going to get a SAG nom regardless. An extremely subtle performance performed by a largely unknown actress in a film that tanked, even by indie standards. Yes, that sounds like SAG voter catnip. SAG has always skewed populist so I don't see it, regardless of the somewhat late screeners. |

Because the Academy also saw Nocturnal Animals and didn't want to nominate the woman responsible for that.
But in all seriousness, I think she got Hanks'd, where she was probably consistently third or fourth on a lot of ballots but lost out to passion-picking and a Streep surge.

While SAG does tend to skew populist, they also often nominate indie performances that the star fucking Globes ignored such as Catalina Sandino Moreno, Melissa Leo (2008), Demian Bichir, Keisha Castle Hughes, Cotillard (2012), etc. and using the word subtle should not be a deterrent considering Adams herself gave a subtle performance in "Arrival". |

Oh honey, as an actress, I can tell you that we are used to getting the shaft... As much as I love Amy, somebody needs to hurl an Oscar at her soon, so we can get it over and done with... and move on... This reminds me of someone! First off, Leo get 4 nominations, 4 NOMINATIONS before he finally won on his 5th. It's mostly the hyperbole that surrounded him that got people frustrated that he hadn't won yet. Adams on the other hand is an amazing actress and guess what? She's been nominated 5 times. And hasn't won shit. And it's not like EVERY year the fellow nominees or the winner were better. That's the case with Leo. |

I was comparing to what was written before (the description of the situation) .. so I started with 'This' & not with 'She'.. Secondly.. I'm a fan of 'Amy'.. she is a great actress & one of my favorites actually.. but she IMO still doesn't deserve the nomination for 'The Arrival' comparing to the other nominees.. Finally Leo IMO didn't deserve the nomination in the previous year comparing to the other great performances too.. so it's not fair for Amy.. comparing only to Leo & the others who didn't deserve the nominations in anytime before! |

I knew you weren't comparing. I was just putting my informed opinion in there to explain why I was replying in the first place. There's a lot of Amy haters on this site. (Which in retrospect, some asshat starting an arguement with me has a bigger chance of happening now because of my post.  ) |

In the end we all want to have great movies to enjoy.. despite the different opinions which is healthy! |
