    People make fun of Olivia because of her tendency to tear up at inopportune moments. I think its refreshing to see a celebrity wear their heart on their sleeve and still remain humble and kind. I can't wait for Broadchurch Series 3

    She's adorable. I first saw her in a number of Mitchell and Webb skits, and came to really appreciate her comedic timing. Then I saw her on one of those murder mystery shows as the killer, and I thought "Oh Olivia, you don't have to murder people! You're adorable!"... :)

    This woman is an exceptional actor. Even if you don't like The Favourite-I personally do, mind you-go watch her in Tyrannosaur or such. She has incredible old school acting chops, where she can express so much without words at all. Her characters, their gait, their inflections, their mannerisms, all differ. That is true acting, in my opinion.

    • @jonnysongs

      Not sure if English is your first language, but if not, we say "actress" for a female actor.

    • @lung325
      @lung325 5 років тому +4

      ​@@jonnysongs Hi. Yes. I am aware that traditionally that is the case. However, the term is archaic and antiquated. Acting is the art form and actors are what we call those practicing within the profession. I've simply chosen to unequivocally refer to people whom act as actors, irrespective of gender or orientation. It would seem, to me, to be the most respectful and doesn't divide them into subcategories that imply that they're somehow a subgroup. Feel free to call them whatever you wish.
      English is my first language.

    • @jonnysongs
      @jonnysongs 5 років тому +1

      @@lung325 "Actress" is most certainly not archaic everywhere, it is still in normal use in my country (UK) and has no connotation of disrespect that I know of. When we have gendered profession names, I think it is better to use them where appropriate. Obviously you can do what you want, but it's jarring for me as a fellow native speaker to see "actor" when I know you're talking about a woman.

      @@jonnysongs No offense but this isn't really a conversation I'm interested in furthering. We're now in the realm of opinions, which for me, seem moot and inconsequential. It's also a bit off topic to my original comment: praise for an actor on their acting.

    When she did that scene where she was crying her eyes out right at the end of Accused-Mo's story, I thought that was the best piece of acting I have ever seen. She totally nailed it. Crying on set like that is the sign of a very talented actor/actress.

    • @junbh2
      @junbh2 6 років тому +5

      I've heard her and people who know her say that in a way she's never really acting. She gets so immersed in the role that her emotional reactions become genuine. I.e, she's not pretending to be sad, she actually gets so into the story that she cries for real because it's so sad. This is what I've heard her say, anyway. She's quite an amazing lady
