    I was a personal assistant for Frances for 4 yrs. She was the kindest woman I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, when my Dad was dieing of colon cancer she paid for all of his doctor's expenses and for his final services and gravestone.......
    Ty Frances, you will forever be in my heart and prayers.......

      She has a BIG heart, is a very GREAT actress (The best after Meryl) and not obsessed with celebrity at all.

      Both Frances McDormand and Katharine Hepburn share a lot of commonalities than you think. Apart from being the only women to win 3 or more Best Actress Oscars, their awards trajectories are virtually identical too! Both won their first Oscars early in their careers and the remaining 3 in each case (including the producing win for McDormand) all coming AFTER turning 60 (both won their 2nd Oscars at age 60, with the third one coming almost immediately after (McDormand's third acting win was 3 years after her 2nd, while Hepburn's 2nd and 3rd wins were in consecutive years)).

      90% of the scenes in Nomadland were so short that it makes it easier to get an Oscar for acting. Plus the film industry is at an all-time low when it comes to quality films.. just look at how many completely forgettable movies have been made in the last 4-5 years. I liked Nomadland very much and thought Frances McDormand was very good in the film but considering the sheer lack of decent films made the last few years it makes it much easier to get nominated and even win an Academy Award. The film industry was 10x better in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s then it is today. Meryl Streep is in my personal opinion still the Best becuase she has been nominated 17 times back when it was much harder to get a nomination and and an actual Win.

      Totally agree. Frances McDormand had less screen time than William H. Macy, and didn't appear on screen until over 45 min into the movie. I thought Emily Watson should have won for a truly amazing performance. Brenda Blethyn would have been my second choice that year.

      after seeing three bilboards outside ebbing missouri, i initially found the movie underwhelming, maybe its the hype attached to the movie or something. but then i reflected on the families in ireland who have lost loved ones via murder and whose bodies have never been found and how the police give up on them. Frances Mcdormand did a fantastic job of displaying the anger and grief of a person whose had her daughter taken from her in the most violent way possible. the film thread a difficult line between the darkness of the subject matter and the dark humour. it was beautifully shot film. i dont think its a perfect film. in bruges is still Martin Mcdonagh best film. the rest are overhyped. and like a lot of irish people im getting a bit fed up of seeing Brendan Gleeson in everything.

      we will agree to disagree then. But rockwell and mcdormand were superb in it. i think it will two time oscar winner frances mcdormand on 4th March and Sam Rockwell for best supporting actor. In bruges is martin mcdonagh best film. The rest were overhyped. and i have seen all them i couldnt see what all the fuss with the gaurd but i will concede that i thought Don Cheadle sparring with Brendan Gleeson was terrific. Calvary was overblown in the hype department. three billboards was beautiful to look at with great performances with Mcdomand and Rockwell. i i think this best stuff of the year stuff is nonsense. my pick for best for best film was manchester by the sea. but that went home empty handed. 2015s best film was inside/out. a masterpiece on every level.
