It's clear from the standing ovation and the cheers of approval that the Academy was a lot more impressed with Colman then was previously thought and gave Colman their vote as they felt that Close was the likely winner (similar to Marion and Julie Christie in 2007). I really think the British factor helped her a lot as Hollywood does love to fall all over themselves for the Brits sometimes. I doubt that The Wife was seen as widely as it could have been seen by Oscar voters as well. <br /><br />What did you think of The Favourite in general? I personally thought it was an amazing film and really should have won Best Picture(although I'm just now catching up on all the contenders lol) and really easily deserved Best Original Screenplay. Also did you think all three were leading? There were comparisons to The Hours after her Oscar win and I remember your thought about Julianne being the one who was committing category fraud that year as you felt all three females were leading which I agree with. Personally I don't mind Weisz's supporting nomination and Stone being placed alongside her in supporting makes sense to me in a way as Colman is the center of The Favourite whose character drives both of Sarah and Abigail's actions in the film. But Stone's role was obviously leading in terms of screen time though I think Fox Searchlight got it right in the category placements in the end.joe burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987519630654592530noreply@blogger.com
