As good and haunting as "Boys Don't Cry" is, it's not a movie you can watch again and again. Simply because it hurts. The whole story about Brandon Teena hurts. It's so utterly heartbreaking that a young man had to die because he was living his life truthfully..
You're wholeheartedly RIGHT 🙌🙏
It was disturbing. It was depressing. I've never been more upset watching a movie in my life.
Donald Lusk Believe me, there's worst. But Swank was heartshattering and the ending was glum. Lana waking up alongside Brandon and Candice's corpses and her departure from Falls City were silver screen gold.
true
Exactly! Same goes for what's love got to do with it and monster, all heartbreaking films.
Hilary Swank in Boys Don't Cry reminds me of Charlize Theron in Monster. To call it a "performance" doesn't even sound right as Swank, like Theron, truly inhabits her character.
Charlize Theron i think that Charlize Theron was much much better the hilary,i mean i really coudn't tell that was Charlize Theron on that role , she just killed it
+TayInTheWay Holy christ, you really nailed it with that comment! I have nothint to add to your statement!
+TayInTheWay Nailed it. Two of the most deserved acting win ever.
Absolutely in every way. They were both EXTREMELY amazing in those films and played those roles with such heart.
for me these two performances alongside brie larson in room are the best oscar wins ever
Boys Don't Cry is one of the most compelling, most breathtaking and haunting movies ever. Watched it yesterday with my best friend and even though we're two guys, we bawled like babies. Swank is definitely a riveting actress and I can't wait to see her win her third Oscar someday.
you are right! she blows it out of the park!
The Oscar was nothing more but obvious at this point. It couldn't be any other. Maybe Annette Bening.
Swank gave a performance for the centuries.
Well her choices are quite questionable though.
@@michelrodrigues5686 Career wise, yes.
I'm from Nebraska. Born and raised. This tragedy occurred 8 hours from my hometown. The men responsible are still on death row. I've only seen the movie twice. It's too painful to watch over and over again. But Brandon Teena will never be forgotten!
She's a super talented actress. She did an amazing job not just in 'Boys don't cry' but also in 'Million dollar baby'. Those movies really touched my heart!
Same! Swank is a terrific actress!
In Conviction too
I watched her acceptance for Oscar for Million Dollar Baby and now this. I don't know about other actress, but she always acknowledge the crews who made the movie together with her. By doing this, she knows she couldn't win if not for the team work to make the movie successful! what a great person indeed!
Anyone else find it super unfair that she's incredibly attractive as either gender? Haha.
Seriously, though, one of the best deserved Oscars in history.
R.I.P Brandon Teena.
That's exactly what I thought! She's one attactive human
David Taylor its the jaw line
Maybe because Hilary Swank is actually transgender? She always seems to look more like a boy.
Natasza Suarez she’s not trans, and Michael Jackson is a pedophile, NEXT!
@@ted6607 Yeah, try next time 😂
She deserved a stading ovation.
If it was the best actor category, there would have been a standing ovation.
Truly a well-deserved win. Hilary was absolutely amazing in Boys Don't Cry. The look on Meryl Streep's face when Hilary Swank's name was announced says it all!
I just watched this movie last night. Hilary Swank did an outstanding job. She did such a good job I sometimes forgot that it was a girl playing a guy.
kayla b not only Meryl the whole audience see Russel crowe standing , Angela Basset applauding enthusiastically
kayla b it proves that Meryl knew that her performance was amazing and that she deserved it, even though she was also nominated herself.
Meryl is always happy for other winners
@@drrajunagar8612 ALso Ashely Judd.
the brandon teena story really broke my heart im a muslim and this is seriously condemned in my religion but i watched the movie and i couldnt help but feel anger what kind of a world is this were you cant be your self and live your life
I agree. It is utterly heartbreaking. :(
Brandon teena
We Christians are struggling with this, although as you know it is condemned by the Scriptures, but is a fact of life .. or nature.... As long as it doesn't hurt anybody else ... I know, it will be the parents but that's how it is, probably the person is born that way due to something specific still undiscovered during conception, so it would be an inadvertent fault because of the genes. It is so unfair, but it's better for future parents to know this could happen: better be prepared to deal with it instead of having someone beloved and innocent live a life of absolute misery. God bless you .
Maryam Ali see religion shouldn’t hold you back in feeling any remorse for something like this. If it was a cisgendered we would’ve still been angry and upset. Religion teaches you to sympathize be proud of that. We’re all humans first. As a Muslim dealing with gender dysphoria it also breaks me that I have to do these things myself. Still a proud Muslim tho no amount of hormones can change that. Thanks
Religion condemning people is a bit evil isn’t it
One of the bravest, most brilliant performances in history!
+Elaine Snow you're kidding right????
+Ed Hendricks It might be a small exaggeration, but who cares? It isn't being sarcastic to say that. 🤗
Jasper Athos It was a good movie but it was still just an acting gig for her. Now if you can prove that she took $0 pay for her part I will give her Kudos then
Yes you are right
Elaine Snow agree
1) I hate how the announcer addresses Brandon as Teena.
2) Thank you Hilary for addressing him as his identity
3) Still have a long way to go for trans rights.
THANK YOU. watcing this video for the first time after watching the movie.
and they still didnt understand the message wow people ar ignorant. and why didnt more than 5 people clap for the real Brandon (Teena). this pisses me off so much.
Preach
@Saul Calvillo. " You hate it when the announcer addresses Brandon as Teena ". Really, now ? ! ? ! 😒 You're an ignorant imbecile.
@Bob Jones *Her* name was Teena Brandon.
ms. will always love my life HIS NAME WAS BRANDON
Hilary Swank should keep her hair like that, it suits her. Beautiful gown too.
You're absolutely right!
Gown is by : Randolph Duke XO.
Very beautiful that night.
It looks like a wig.
... she could use all this costume today ... in 2019 ... that would be current...
Thank you Hilary. The LGBT community appreciates your speech.
I’m curious how the LGBTQ community views this film on one hand it actually brings the issues of Transgender individuals to the mainstream but on the other hand there’s a lot of mild to extreme transphobia surrounding it as well
@@scl1332 but transphobia also isn't supported by the filmakers... Transphobia comes from the characters
Exactly. We need to see the horrors of the abuse and phobias that contributed to that injustice. Show what the LGBTQ people have to live with, especially in small, rural towns.
Hahahhaahahaja ridiculous
The only thing missing is for Brandon Teena to know how much his time on Earth made a difference. All the ripples that were sent out. Can you imagine a "small-town" person knowing their life inspired an actress' finest performance, a movie and an Oscar win seen around the world?
I think that small town person might simply just want to be alive and live his life in obscurity
@@scl1332 I couldnt agree the most!! especially when Hollyweird is full of pedos!!
I agree. While a cruel fate, his life did make a huge change and I do think that he is gonna be proud.
Being that I am born and raised here in Nebraska. Everytime I watch, hear about Brandon etc. All I do is cry!! I am a black women going through the same discrimination of being yourself. It doesn't matter who or what you portray yourself to be. Leave people alone!!! R.I.P. to you Brandon. Hillary thanks for bringing this to life.
You keep on being your true beautiful self!! Shine on!
She deserved this Oscar not just for playing this incredibly challenging role but for actually being able to have a career after starring in The Next Karate Kid. If that’s not a miracle, I don’t know what is.
fans of the original movies don't even count that piece of garbage.
Mxjdkskskss you know what they say you gotta start somewhere
I think her career might have hit a speed bump before it had begun after The Next Karate Kid. Certainly, I had not heard of her again until Boys Don't Cry. Sometimes, the right role takes time to find.
And getting fired from 90210 when the ratings were fading
@@ericandy88 Dude she literally won a second Oscar after Boys Don't Cry as well, in 2005 for Million Dollar Baby.
And then the Oscar announcer fucks it up by saying Brandon Teena was a "girl living as a boy."
True, he was a boy living as a boy.
*****, or he could have even said, "Hilary Swank portrayed Brandon Teena, a transgender boy." I'd even accept that.
*****, maybe I should start referring to you as a girl, Keith. Maybe you'll understand the point then. Or maybe you'll continue wearing your ass like a hat.
Weston James Preachhh
*****, "basic 1st grade science, people."
I suggest taking scientific courses beyond a 1st grade level then. It's clear you have a rudimentary understanding of biology. This kind of topic requires higher levels of thinking and goes beyond your primitive concept of vagina = female.

That is a deserved Oscar people!!
Man, she looks beautiful here.
04:30 Boys DO Cry ;)
I'm so glad the academy gave the Oscar to a Performance which actually deserved to win!
Annette Bening
I was in shock when I watch the movie for the first time,,,,,I said Hilary make this film,she will win the oscar and she won...... and deserved oscar
Chloe Sevingy is so beautiful!
I'm not a great Hilary Swank fan and I don't know why she won for Million Dollar Baby. But when I saw Boys Don't Cry I knew why Annette Bening, who gave a terrific performance in American Beauty, didn't win an Oscar. Hilary Swank's performance in Boys Don't Cry is probably the best Oscar-winning performance by a leading actress of the 90s in my opinion.
👏👏👏👏
Sabrina Ross to call it 90s win is kinda weird coz it released in 99 and she won in 00
The only performance of the decade that could come close would be Holly Hunter's performance in the Piano
Sabrina Ross well said. 💯
@@neelabhraroy4238 or Frances McDormand in Fargo
"looks like living out of the car was worth it"
never give up on your dreams
That´s was beautiful. I´m so glad that spoke about brandon the way she did
This, as well as Charlize Theron's win for Monster, is one of the most well-deserved wins. Both actresses did so well, and both movies were both so depressingly great that you don't want to see them again. Once was enough.
Hilary Swank's performance in this movie was absolutely outstanding. I cannot imagine anyone able to portray Brandon as well as she did. Amazing actress, amazing film, amazing boy, it's just such a terrible shame that ignorance, prejudice and hate caused his life to be taken from him abruptly, and in such a brutal way.
RIP Brandon, you're an inspiration to everyone to stay true to who they are.
she deserved it:)
also Chloe is beautiful 4:07
Chloe’s a man man
Shame she didn't win! I love Judi Dench, but Chloe's performance was just as memorable and heartbreaking as Hilary's.
Annette Bening
@@mattbernabe Angelina Jolie deserved the Oscar that year. But Chloe Sevigny was great too.
Had this been made 20 years later, this would have been a Best Picture contender at the Oscars. This is such a really important film.
Yeah, people weren’t as open-minded back then as they are now about this sorta thing
Her husband is crying tears of joy and she doesn't acknowledge. Haha!
She even looked repulsed when he tried to kiss her. It's like she was trying to escape.
They separated after.
@@deguzmanjrrobertom they separated in 2006
Otto Lapham. Yep! I noticed that and scrolled down the comment section to see who else noticed it too!
- No wonder they're divorced now......... shame.
The biggest shame of all: You all seem to think that is the most notable tidbit to bring more attention to
She did such a fabulous job in that movie, made me cry. RIP to Brandon Teena, and that Oscar was well deserved as her performance was phenomenal. She is also very beautiful.
Her performance in this movie was incredible. One of my top Oscar winning performances next to Kathy Bates in Misery.. both incredible 😍
I watched this movie around eight years after it was shown. As a gay kid growing up, I was shaken by this movie. Maybe in the late 90s to the 2000s this movie wasn't seen as much of a statement, but now, it's something we have to see. It is heart-crushing that the story of Brandon Teena continues to this day, just with different names in different countries.
this movie made me feel things. she deserved all the praise and award for this incredible role.
Rest in peace Brandon Teena. ☺❤
Crazy that this movie came out over 20 years ago. One of my all-time favorites. Hilary gave a great speech. I love how she says she prays for the day we not only accept our differences, but celebrate our diversity. 20 years later, we are not there yet, but closer.
Hillary is a great actress and that victory was well-deserved but I had 1 issue that year. They didn't nominate Winona Ryder for 'Girl, Interrupted' and Sigourney Weaver for 'A Map of the World'. That was so harsh
Good point! I agree with these 2 choices
irina1296 Winona was good she should have received gg nomination
She was good, but overshadowed by Angelina Jolie in the same film.
One of the most disturbingly, magnificent performance by an actor/ actress winning an Oscar.
He did! He was nominated for Best Original Screenplay and Actor. He won Best Actor.
????
exactly.. wait what...
@@jairomartinez225 3.06
This must have been a misplaced reply to someone who asked something about Kevin Spacey.
Best part is acknowledging Brandon Teena in her speech
She used Brandons real name and his correct pronouns and I love Hillary for that
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again
Of course Swank had to win this, there's no way she couldn't have. She was incredible, incredible, INCREDIBLE... But look, Janet McTeer was nominated, too. It's too bad she couldn't have won also.
Janet could win in the future, just like virtually all actors still around today.
There's not a day that passes that I don't think of Brandon Teena and wish that I could reach into the past and reassure him that he wasn't alone. I am beyond grateful that this movie was made, that Hilary devoted herself to the role, and even more so for those who have watched it and shown understanding and acceptance.
Please remember, there are other transgender individuals going through similar, or the same, as part and parcel of their daily life, simply for being who they are, with no help or protection from those who have a duty of doing so.
Personally, I am comforted but also terrified, as my own life is almost mirrored in many ways, to Brandon's as depicted in the movie - Comforted that I'm not alone, regardless of how I feel sometimes; terrified by the similar, and very real danger of coming to harm at the hands of others. And I know I'm not alone in that.
I don't understand. I'm still the same person. Just because your favourite crisps change their packaging doesn't mean you stop buying the crisps. ;)

That Sarky Trans Guy Sending Love Light and Peace
The internet saved the LGBT community because it connected the world and everyone realized the diversity in the world. Before that, it would have been impossible to have this progress today.
💜 Your words made me cry. I never watched the movie 'cause I'm too sensible to these topics and I'm sure I would be too much devasteded by it. I know the real story tho and I feel bad in the stomach only thinking it.
I hope in this 6 years your life has been wonderful, I really hope you're ok and loved. From a trans girl, much love💜
The beginning of brilliant Oscar winning performances by women in the early 2000's. She really set the bar for actresses in the new century.
There have been quality work by actors of both genders throughout history. She was perfectly fine in the role, but she is not necessarily the greatest actress of all time.
I've always loved her as an actress. She's not only talented but very down to earth as well. Bless her heart. 💕
Hilary Swank is one classy lady!
I hope she wins her third Oscar next year for Homesman
I hope so, she was quite good !
Yeah of course. But I think even if this year was not so amazing for female role there are some actresses better this year to my mind
Julianne Moore in Still Alice, Jennifer Aniston with her performance in Cake or Marion Cotillard for The Immigrant (even if sje will not nominated too)
After all depend of the campaign for being nominated and I think that Homesman's was not so intenste
Yeah but the academy love this kind of performance. Moreover she speak Polish and this is a good point for her too ! :)
Now we will wait until the 15th of january to see the nominations even if I think that Julianne Moore will be nominated but for the other the race is still open ... :)
Personally I think Annette Bening should have won for American Beauty, but congrats to Hilary. She was amazing in Freedom Writers!
True, Annette Benning was amazing in American Beauty, I never thought much of her until that movie.
Hilary was awesome but Academy ignored some great performances that year - Diane Lane ("A Walk on the Moon"), Michelle Pfeiffer ("The Deep End of the Ocean"), Winona Ryder ("Girl, Interrupted"), Jodie Foster ("Anna and the King"), Sigourney Weaver ("A Map of the World")... I guess you can't nominate them all
Boy's Don't Cry was a movie way ahead of its time. I really appreciate the fact it was released in 1999, literally 6 years after Brandon Teena died. Bruh John and Tom shall rot in hell.
As her husband cries during her acceptance speech that "she wanted to make sure she didnt forget anyone" she forgot to thank HIM
This performance was completely raw and real!!! This performance and Charlize Theron’s performance in Monster are the just few of the best performances in cinema history.
Heck, Benigni should host the show.
He would make great host, but like he said
"They ask-ed me to stay the hell off the furniture"
I've REALLY got to use that line someday
If the Oscars added a category for voice acting, this is what female voice acting would have looked like that year:
Joan Cusack in Toy Story 2 (WINNER)
Claire Danes in Princess Mononoke
Jennifer Aniston in The Iron Giant
Minnie Driver in Tarzan
Rosie O’Donnell in Tarzan
She truly deserved that Oscar! What a role!
When she said.. "We have come a looooong way..." And at that time, there was still so much restrictions, but it was really just the time when sexual diversity is just almost at its infancy in the public eye. It breaks my heart that this was now way back 2000, and now it's 2020, but there's still a lot of work to do.. there's still so much hate.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😩😩😩 She thank Brandon Teena. I am in tears..To think that Brandon in this day in age would of had the support he needed. It isn't fair..
Poor Annette...lost to Hilary twice.
The second is in 2005!
So only now I realize that this woman has actually won not one but TWO Oscars? Where the heck did she disappear??? How don’t we get to see more of here?
Would've gone with Annette Bening, but I find it hard to argue with this win. Not only is her performance good but it was from a small film and Swank, an unknown actress at the time, practically cleaned up through the awards circuit because of how amazing her performance was. So I have great respect for this win.
??? Having seen both, Bening was great, but Swank was unbelievable. A one in a lifetime performance.
Sevigny got robbed on Supporting actress and should have got the win also.
@@cliveklg He explained enough.
The song was "Bluest Eyes In Texas" By Nina Persson. Love that song, including the original By Restless Heart.
thenotsoterrible yeah and it’s bring tear to my eyes every time I hear it
u can tell from the ceremony's audiences gesture how deserving she was of this award her performance in Boys Don't Cry is without any doubt one of the greatest screen performances
Chloë Sevigny and Harmony Korine
The Academy got it right.
A win ahead of it's time. Not only did she physically portray the characteristics of a person uncomfortable in their own body, she really shows the physicality of a young man. And her quiet scenes are heartbreaking, as she starts to unravel by the abuse and neglect surrounding her while trying to stay true to themselves.
Just watched Boys Don’t Cry 20 years after seeing it for the first time ...and it’s gut wrenching... it really is difficult to watch this movie. Hilary more than deserved to win, she was magnificent. May you RIP Brandon Teena
OH DAMN, I didn't realize she won over that amazing performance in American Beauty. NOT saying she didn't deserve it!! It was one of the most moving performances I've ever seen. And it warms my heart to hear the way the crowd cheered when her nomination was called!!
Looooved Roberto Benigni!!!
I can't think of another performance more deserving of an Oscar..maybe this and Charlize Theron in monster...
I saw Boys don't cry by myself in a small movie theater and knew I was watching some incredible acting.
So you need to check more.
She's just that good. In all her performances, she's just that good.
No chance in hell that any of the other nominees stood a chance against Swank.
I love how Chloe Sevigny melts when her name was mentioned....
She so hot there 😍
RIP Brandon....your sacrifice and strength lives on and is celebrated today...I just wish you were here to see it and to see the example you set for us all to be who we are... this is an outstanding movie and she gave a wonderful speech.
damn she is really pretty!
You're right. And the good thing is that she barely aged since then. She's drop dead gorgeous and propos to her for never ever using plastic surgery.
***** it's sad that it became the norm in this day and age
@@moisemensah8233 Drop dead gorgeous. Stop it. Cute fine but you went way too far. And most would even argue against cute
Roberto Benigni is kinda hysterical
She never thanked her husband. She didn't forget in 2005 when she won again.
"True story of a boy- a girl living as a boy in Nebraska." LOL.
I caught that too hahah
Nicole Wolslegel
I guess people didn't know how to say transgender back then.
sweeney60 Back then? It was only 14 years ago, not even 20 years. People still used the term.
It's very rude actually.
@@tempusfugit3405 I Dont think it was intended
Hilary swank in boys don't cry is like Daniel day Lewis in there will be blood 😎
When Hilary won this Oscar, she was living in the Lower East Side of New York...she won an Oscar, yet she didn't have a dime to her name. She took her Oscar to the local baker and asked the baker if she could have a loaf of bread...The baker provided her with bread "happily ever after".
While shooting "Boys Dont Cry" Hillary was living in Santa Monica, homeless and in a car which was parked in the parking lot of my work place Kelly Paper 1601 Olympic Blvd S.M
As a normal procedure and being MGR. of Kelly Paper one of our ways to show our customers appreciation was offering free coffee and donuts for the " first come first serve " early.birds that were at my door 7: 30 am. Arriving about 7am each morning I notice a vehicle with two women laying down underneath a blanket inside their car. It personally didn't affect our business or customers whatsoever, so I let things go as they did, but knowing who these ladies were. Soon after, surely cold and hungry one of the women in the car decided to enter my place of employment for a look around. One of my emoyeee brought to my attention who this new customer was. " Thats the Karate Girl, she a actress " Crispin Escamilla said quietly in my ear. I immediately walk over to welcome and introduce myself. Standing right next to the coffee machine I offered a cup of Joe and a donut for both her and whoever was in the car ( her mothe) This became a normal and everyday occurrence. Noticing her hair was shortly cut I soon asked why did she cut her once long and flowing hair so short? " I'm working on a new movie Boys Dont Cry. Call it a hunch, a premonition but I asked her for a favor. After you hit the big time and win a Oscar for Best Actress award, just remember us little people ,( me and my crew) who were there with open arms everymorng while living in your car in my parking lot. Im sure you'll do a memorable performance and win. With a big beautiful smile she responded " I wont forget. About a couple of years later I opened up the calendar section of the times, and there she was......nominated for a oscar. Later that same year there she stood again.....but this time ...holding and winning a Oscar for Best Actress in 2000. A proud moment in time. Oh how lovely it woukd have been had she mention me and the boys at Kelly Paper who personally believed in and predicted her amazing accomplishments........I never saw or heard from her again. Did she brake her promise she made to me by forgetting the little people who believed in her? Most likely. But I can't help from wondering while homeless living in a car in my parking lot, has she ever thought or remembered me and my strong beliefs and encouragement I gave her. If this comment ever finds you...I'd like to congrate you in your amazing occomlishments. Oh how lovely it would have been🤔
I know they've since divorced and people do forget but Chad's face had shock and sadness written all over it that she neglected to thank him...and I know she made it up to him in her next speech but I'm referring to this win!
+pokergalpoker I don't understand how people thought he was neglected, because the moment Swank's name was called, the first thing she did was turn to her husband and give him a long kiss.
+musicaltheatergeek79 what's so hard to understand, she neglected to thank him or mention him during her acceptance speech. Sure she remembered the next time she won but the moment had passed.
This film was trying to educate society about gender identity & it sure took a while for everyone to grasp it
Swank was the best that year.I have to agree.
the best Oscar-winning performance of all time!
Her humbleness is beyond my understanding....... I love her she's one of the best actresses out there!
so humble that she neglected to thank her husband in her acceptance speech
This was a tough one. They were all so incredible. But I think the right person won, although I feel Annette Bening was a very close second.
That was a lovely speach. RIP Brandon Teena. Xoxo
XOXO
I cried so hard when I watched this movie....she was amazing in it though...definitely a well deserved win!
I love how Roberto Benigni acts like someone imitating Roberto Benigni
Perfect way to describe him!
Hilary Swank gave the single, best performance of 1999 from any actor, male OR female.
She snubbed her then husband Chad Lowe who was sobbing in the audience mouthing the words of her speech lol
Also, look at how she seemingly dodged his kiss when she went to accept the award, but hugs the lady who walks up to her warmly.
Streatham Soprano
I thought exactly the same: a cold kiss and not a word for her husband in her speech (which would have been OK if he hadn't been filmed crying at the same time) Very sad actually !!
Streatham Soprano She didn't dodge his kiss. She kissed and hugged him for about 5 seconds and then he whispered something in her ear. Everybody was on her case for nothing. He didn't have anything to do with her winning her award so why does she have to thank him anyway.
dsprenger13 I think people were shocked because he was crying and so happy for her, and she didn't mention him or his support.
Roca Bibaby IF, I remember correctly...of course it was mentioned quite a bit that she seemed to snub him (snub - not forgot, since it was a written list)...but not too long after that - they filed for divorce. So there were already problems.
She forgot to thank her husband Chad.
it's good she did.
this is what i thought.He was crying and everything.
I though the same thing lol oops...at least she thanked him early for the Million Dollar Baby win.
"we have come a long way" - Presumably, she didn't hear the Oscars commentary
IMO this is one of the most deserved wins in this category's history
Why all the hate on this movie? It is an illustration of not only Brandon's story, but the story of all others who suffer hate crimes. Hilary mentioned that at the end of her speech. I believe we all should just accept each other for the beautiful people that we are. I don't care what someone's religion is, their political views, their race/ethnicity, or their sexuality. Everyone is unique, and no one person could possibly hope to truly identify or know another. So don't judge, because you don't know.
Where tf do you see the hate?? As far as I can see, everyone seems to love this movie.
4:05 chloe is so cute i cant.. 🖤
Björk at least deserved to be nominated. She was so hautingly beautiful and amazing in dancer in the dark.
Years later and I still cry
I think Annette Bening's performance was more powerful and original, I would have prefered her winning. But I think I am the only one. LOL
But Hilary Swank was Fantastic too.
You're not the only one. I loved Annette Bening performance even more Swank's. I wanted she have won too.
I greatly respect all of your opinions and value them. But, don't hate me, Annette Bening gets on my nerves, sorry, simply cuz I don't get her. As great as she can be in a movie (American Beauty is her best performance so far), there's still something missing in her acting and I can't quite put my finger on it. Is it complete and total depth? A kind of "holding back"? Still a bit on the surface? She doesn't "penetrate" me as the other actresses we mentioned do. Correct and illuminate me if I am wrong, am I the one whose missing something? Thanks for listening.
Happy 46th Birthday, Hilary Swank.
🥳🎈🎊🎉🎂🎁
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again
