I was bit surprised she got on, she was really a weak link in the acting of moonlight for me.

I think she was far better than Spencer and also better than Kidman. I'd nominate her in the supporting category over Davis too considering she's actually supporting and Davis is not.

I guess in your eyes she also didn't deserve capital letters and the correct spelling of her first name.
I thought she was terrific.

Haven't seen the other two so can't really comment on that. Guess maybe I should give her another chance, I just found all her scenes a bit weak compared to the rest.

I definitely think so. She's my #2 for Best Supporting Actress after Davis

Not over Janelle Monae.

I'm baffled by the general praise for this performance. Her fairly effective final scene is the only reason why I stop just short of calling it an awful performance. In a film with so many completely natural, lived in performances, the many false notes and overacting on her end really standout in a bad way.
I could tell that she had no idea how to tackle the character and really struggled here. The effort is apparent.

I could tell that she had no idea how to tackle the character and really struggled here. The effort is apparent. I loved her performance. If I were an Academy member, she'd get my vote. I think her only bad scene was the car scene. Her acting seemed a bit unnatural there. But in her other big scenes (stealing money from her son and the final scene), her acting was on point. And plus, she's British. I don't I think she had any slip-ups in her accent.

I thought Naomie Harris was miscast as the drug-addicted mother.

I mean she was great, but she didnĀ“t really do much so I think it would have been slightly weird to nominate her.

Not really, no. But at least she gave a memorable performance, which is more than I can say about her nominated co-star.

I can understand the accolades and praise, it's a very baity role but I don't think she deserved a nom. Way too self-aware and over the top.

It's not that she was bad - she wasn't - but she was hugely overrated and over the top in a movie that didn't require this type of acting. It felt weird, y'know? It doesn't help that her part is so one-dimensional.
