Did Anne Hathaway ruin her career?

"I just haven't seen her much since "Les Miserables," and I wonder if her behavior during the Oscar campaign alienated so many people in Hollywood and in the public that she's now considered box office poison."

What a ridiculous statement, OP.

Unpopular Datalounge opinion: I like her.

We hate in Anne Hathaway what we hate in ourselves.

She was the worst thing in Brokeback Mountain.

The weird thing about her is that she was specifically designed by nature to do musical theater on Broadway. She has a lovely soprano and can genuinely act, and her too-big features make her look even more beautiful at a distance. She also has genuine comic talent, as she showed on SNL. She would superb in the current revival of My Fair Lady, for example, and I still have very fond memories of her as Lili in the Encores! revival of "Carnival!" 15 years ago. I don't why she wants to do gritty drama or sexy rom coms when she's not cut out for them.

She was very good in "Rachel Getting Married." I also enjoyed her in "Colossal."

I thought she was excellent in Rachel.

I like her just fine. I also have no problems with JLaw or Gwyneth, which is heresy to the loveless cunts on Datalounge.

I have a lot of problems with her, but I will say that she was the only thing I liked about “Interstellar.”

She's 36/37 so she's aging out of the roles that made her popular and the age group she's in now doesn't have that many roles and the competition is tight.

^Wishful thinking.

Anne reminds everyone of the brittle, high-strung girl in high school who got all the leads in drama club.

However, since she is genuinely pretty, she had a real career, unlike some of us of that type...

She seems neither brittle nor high-strung.

It's true, r11. She too old to play the ingénue and too young for the matronly roles. And once she hits 40 it will be even thinner.

She got old. End of story.

r10/r14, Hathaway has, according to imdb, three films in post-production, two in pre-production, and two that are announced.

Yet according to the all-knowing gays of Datalounge, she's dried up.

Wishful thinking.

Anne has a glass eye.

I'm sure if you go to Eric Roberts' imdb page there will be ten films in production and ten in pre-production, R16.

It's not the volume, it's the quality of projects.

What was speculated, r19, was whether she was still getting jobs. She is.

She was certainly not born with those teeth. Just look at ours!

R16 nobody said that she's not going to be in films. But she has been slowing down. It also looks like she's not the lead in a few of those films.

I also discount announced. There's a long way to go between announced and filming and many films start with one person announced and end up with someone else by the time it's filmed, if it even gets filmed.

r22, you sound concerned for her. Perhaps you'd like to give her some of your millions, since you're no doubt massively successful, young and in demand by everyone for everything. And you're so charitable, too.

r22=delusional

And r19 is right, the quality if the roles do matter.

R23, is this not a place to gossip? You sound more concerned that some thinks she's getting up there in age in an industry that values youth.

R23 just hates it when people don't think like she does.

I kind of think of her as one of those who got an Oscar and said, "OK, that's the pinnacle. Now I'm not going to work so hard anymore." I think she works as much as she wants to work.

She's doing just fine, thanks for asking.

If she was so bad during the os at campaign, she wouldn’t have gotten the Oscar

What r27 is undoubtedly true. OP just said that to crank up some Anne dragging among the DL gays.

Oscars are based on talent? Oh my sides!

Reese is on bad TV now. And her voice drives me to epilepsy. I have to race to the remote to change it if she appears on an awards show and catches me off guard. Hideous.

Anne is genius in comparison. But that was still a stupid wasted Oscar if you ask me.

No greater proof of what r29 says than...

R29 LOL.

The Oscars don't give a shit anymore about nominees making complete fools out of themselves. They gave it to Melissa Leo after her self made "For Your Consideration" photoshoot and Kate Winslet, who publicly begged for it. The days of aggressive campaigning being a turn off are long gone, unfortunately.

However, I always felt Anne got a bit of a raw deal. She was roundly blasted in the media while Jennifer Lawrence was the new sweetheart who could do no wrong (My, how times have changed) I do think the Oscar win hurt her career. She's a terrific actress, but Les Mis was one of her weakest roles. She would have won an Oscar eventually if she didn't get it for that.

I don't particularly like her, but The Intern did make $200 million worldwide, so there's probably still life in her career.

She has three movies in the can: Oceans 8, a comedy being released this summer, and a drama. What she needs is a movie like Enchanted; maybe the Barbie movie she's rumoured for would fit the bill.

The idea that winning an Oscar actually hurts anyone is ridiculous. If you believe in the "Oscar curse" you're a superstitious twit.

It's the career choices you make after you win an Oscar that hurt or help you.

You also generally have a lot more opportunities and choices after you win an Oscar. Of course, that leaves you more room to fail.

Melissa Leo is a certified nut, up there in age, and a bitch to work with, I've heard many times from someone I know at CAA. If SHE can still work (if she is), there's certainly a career still for Annie.

And don't give me Leo's "a character actress" shit as an excuse, either.

[quote]The idea that winning an Oscar actually hurts anyone is ridiculous

Aggressively campaigning for it can be a major turnoff to the public. When you're constantly on the public radar for several consecutive months at a time, it can be damaging to your career. Overexposure is not some cumbersome concept to understand.

[quote]You also generally have a lot more opportunities and choices after you win an Oscar's

LOL! Sure you do!.

If that were true, r38, Melissa Leo would not have won. Her campaign was nauseating. It's not the public, anyway, who votes, as you mistakenly said.

Bitch literally ran a full-page ad in Variety.

Melissa Leo, Oscar Whore.

She also married and had a kid after that win, so... she likely has less time and drive for work. Different priorities.

^Yet she won.

That was for r41.

[quote] If that were true, [R38], Melissa Leo would not have won. Her campaign was nauseating. It's not the public, anyway, who votes, as you mistakenly said.

There's a big difference between what Leo did and AnnE's, Winslet's, Kidman's, et al behavior. Leo placed a week's worth of ads and that was the beginning and the end of it. It was strategic (and likely unnecessary as she was the frontrunner, anyway). The other women had been nakedly whinging and moaning for months about their lust for an Oscar (and in Winslet's case, it had been going on for years). These are the women who get shunned after winning- the ones who are given either inexplicable Oscars and cannot follow up or the ones who are given Oscars to shut them up. Kidman was reduced to doing straight to DVD movies with Nicholas Cage before HBO swooped in and saved her career. And Winslet went for nearly a decade as PNG before finally getting another (undeserved) nomination for Jobs. In the Supporting category. AnnE is still in Oscar Begging Jail, and may well break out of it at some point.

r45 is off his meds and hallucinating again.

Sally Field deserved the Oscar for Lincoln. Extraordinary performance.

R46, looking for attention again.

There was a big attack on her on the internet

r49 means Datalounge. To r49, Datalounge IS the internet.

no, it was everywhere

She is talented and beautiful, but she was genuinely annoying leading up to the oscars. She wasn’t trying to be overbearing, but she had a different personality for every talk show she went on and they were all try-hard. On Ellen she was trying to come across as funny, and she definitely is not. On Chelsea Handler’s show she tried to be cool, she just came off as a nerdy girl showing off in front of the cooler kids. It went on and on for every talk show she was on. The Oscar speech was excruciating and apparently the public who were already unimpressed with her talk show appearances just turned on her. She’ll be the first to say, she was ripped to shreds on social media after the oscars (and not just on datalounge r50)

Her career isn’t over, but a lot of the parts she would have been offered in the past were then offered to other actresses. And her public appearances will be limited to avoid reminding people they don’t like her. It’s not her acting, beauty or awards, it’s her personality which actually turned the public against her.

............

Why Do People Hate Anne Hathaway?

I met her once. She was very sweet.

Oh, good grief.

Academy voters vote based upon whoever is winning all the major awards at the time. Just like SAG voters take their cues from the Golden Globes and so on. Sorry to burst your bubble, but most Oscar voters aren't watching all of the nominated movies.

But Oscar voters are not the general public. And yes, the general public gets tired of having the same faces at every awards show for a month or two, saying the same speeches, thanking the same people. And then if they're nominated several times over the next few years, it's rinse and repeat.

And if you think that's not true, then provide a list of actors who have been able to match their Oscar winning success AFTER winning the award in the last decade or two. The ones whom it probably benefits the most are the character actors who let the work speak for themselves.

Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lawrence winning Academy Awards in the same year turned me off the Oscars for good. Both were undeserving and highly annoying.

I will say, though, that Hathaway doesn't strike me as an asshole--saccharine, yes, and really lacking in self-awareness, but not an asshole. She was good in Rachel Getting Married.

And yes, there was a time when actors were able to establish themselves after winning an Oscar. But that was when there wasn't umpteen awards shows and a PR blitz of several months leading up to the show. You showed up at the Globes and/or the Oscars and that was that. If you were lucky you attended one of the handful of critics dinners.

"The cyberhaters even have their own catchy name, “Hathahaters,” which James Franco and Howard Stern dissected on Mr. Stern’s SiriusXM radio show two weeks ago."

It was an internet thing

It really was about the over-exposure. The academy voted, but the public vomited. We hated the hubris, the perceived expectation, and the cooter flashing attention whoring.

There was the overexposure with the Oscar campaign, but then there was a second part which was a long internet pile-on

"provide a list of actors who have been able to match their Oscar winning success AFTER winning the award in the last decade or two."

r56, are you kidding? Streep (over 4 decades), Denzel (over 3 decades), JLaw, Morgan Freeman, Blanchett, Tilda, Winslet, Bullock, Mirren, Dench, to name few...

True, R61, it got excessive. Anne was the girl everyone loved to 'hatha-hate' and I think it had something to do with the catchiness of that phrase. Everyone wanted in on the hate-fest that was out of all proportion to reality. She's a stupid little actress, not a serial killer.

It took 45 replies before we got the preferred DL spelling of AnnE. This place is slipping.

Tilda was a surprise winner who did no campaigning.

Judi Dench only comes to the US for the Oscars.

What has Cate Blanchett done of note since Blue Jasmine?

Sandra Bullock is an exception.

And If you don't think Streep and Jennifer Lawrence are completely overexposed at this point, I have a bridge to sell you. Red Sparrow is bombing, in case you haven't noticed.

AnnE’s performance in Rachel Getting Married really was fantastic. I usually find addicts and their stories a chore, but she me rooting for an addict in a constant state of teetering when I was really set up to hate her.

And I concur with the statement about Interstellar. She was just about all the film had going for it.

"Red Sparrow is bombing, in case you haven't noticed."

And JLaw movies have still sold over $5.5 billion over 6 years. Are they all supposed to be hits, r65?

[quote] Melissa Leo is a certified nut, up there in age, and a bitch to work with, I've heard many times from someone I know at CAA. If SHE can still work (if she is), there's certainly a career still for Annie.

Melissa Leo is also much better than most of the other names in this thread. Plus, she fills a very particular niche which is not very easy to cast in today's Hollywood: blue collar woman.

Melissa Leo=white trash.

Red Sparrow just came out. I am sure it will do decently.

Melissa Leo is good in everything she is in.

[quote] And JLaw movies have still sold over $5.5 billion over 6 years. Are they all supposed to be hits, [R65]?

If you take away the superhero and Hunger Games movies, she ain't doin' so hot. Her only real hit post Oscar was American Hustle and she was supporting in that.

[quote] Red Sparrow just came out. I am sure it will do decently.

Oh, bless your heart, dear. Movies don't do better as the weeks go on.

Internationally, r73, is where most of the money is made, anyway.

r71--if you like to watch white trash.

The opening weekend hasn't even finished yet, anti-JLaw nut

The people who say "white trash" tend to be on the "trashy" side themselves.

Said no one ever, r76.

Someone needs to tell Forbes that a $16.5m opening weekend in a film where the actress was paid $20m is not a "soaring" opening. For a mainstream average budgeted studio marketed film to have any chance at success, it has to open north of $20m.

[quote]She’ll be the first to say, she was ripped to shreds on social media after the oscars (and not just on datalounge [R50])

Yep, AnnE was very much aware of the public backlash against her. In what seemed to be a moment of some level of self-awareness during an interview about that period, she said something similar to, "I had lost my mind".

That isn't the opening opening weekend, R78. It is the opening day. This is Saturday afternoon. The weekend ends Sunday evening.

[quote] That isn't the opening opening weekend, [R78]. It is the opening day. This is Saturday afternoon. The weekend ends Sunday evening.

Umm, you dumb fuck. Opening day the film made $6m, including the screenings on Thursday night. Projected weekend grosses are $16.5m

Melissa Leo was on All My Children back in the 80's and she was fucking dreadful. My friends and I used to laugh at her bad acting. Who knew? I can't watch Les Miz movie without thinking of Hathaway and her 'this is going to be my Oscar winning role' mentality. She was actually quite good in The Intern which was a surprisingly entertaining movie AND she held her own opposite DeNiro.

Times have changed. What once woudl've been considered tacky (like that "Color Purple" actress's awful ad to God) now probably is considered "empowering", especially for women speaking up for themselves and their worth. That empowerment shit covers a lot of turf, right or wrong.

I liked that movie, too, R82. She's a good actress. She'll survive.

She’s a good actress, but her heyday is over. I notice she does the occasional print interview, but her people seem reluctant to put her on talk shows. I assume they’ve realised the minute she opens her mouth the public roll their eyes. She’s very grating and overbearing in real life, she’s much better with a script.

[quote]She was very good in "Rachel Getting Married."

She was, but that movie was a steaming pile of corn infused shit.

I fucking HATED that pretentious FILM.

Melissa Leo would have been nominated for an Oscar again this year if her film NOVITIATE had been better. She was amazing in it, but the film let her down.

AnnE did GROUNDED at the Public Theatre and was excellent. She's doing just fine, thank you.

"She’s very grating and overbearing in real life."

r85, doing a talk-show interview is not real life. Like I said, I met her and thought she was really charming.

It's AnnE with an E. Yea, she's a cunt with no E.

I loved Colossal. She's got a movie coming up I'm interested in: Serenity. It's written and directed by Steven Knight (Locke and Peaky Blinders).

Where's that pic of her and her husband's very nice cock?

Melissa Leo is a cunt.

Kate Winslet's career hasn't exactly soared following her Oscar win—Carnage, Labor Day, A Little Chaos, Steve Jobs, The Dressmaker, Collateral Beauty, Wonder Wheel.

Not a very impressive list and not close to the level of quality of the films she was making prior to her Oscar win.

R88 most people haven’t met her. The only thing they have to go on are her interviews, in which she comes across as overbearing. She may not be in real life, but the public don’t have real life to go on just the interviews. Personally I think she’s harmless and I’m sure she was charming to you, but not everyone has met her and the internet haters number in their hundreds of thousands, you’re just one person. Good luck convincing everyone else.

There are dime a dozen somewhat talented actresses just like her but much younger. As the Soup Nazi would say; "Next!"

"If you take away the superhero and Hunger Games movies, she ain't doin' so hot."

Why would you, r72? She starred in them.

She's doing just fine, thanks for asking.

"then provide a list of actors who have been able to match their Oscar winning success AFTER winning the award"--r56

Lupita

"Steve Jobs" was a great film and Winslet was amazing in it. Bet she came a lot closer to that second Oscar than we will ever know.

Exactly r95, actors seem to forget that. If they fuck it up someone else just steps into their place. There are only a few star making parts for every few thousand actors waiting for their big break.

Jennifer Lawrence stepped into AnnE’s spotlight the year AnnE won the best supporting Oscar. Where Anne came across as pretentious and self involved, JL came across as a girl who couldn’t believe her good luck. Of course JL is now walking a fine line herself, surrounded by celebrity friends, the casting couch rumours and complaining about her fans. She should put a sock in it and look at AnnE as a cautionary tale of stars who appear to be getting too big for their boots.

Kate Winslet's at an odd age. Established Hollywood female stars don't tend to get as many parts in their 40s as they do in their fifties. I think Michelle Pfeiffer, for example, was wise to wait out her forties before she made her comeback.

Emma Stone got Anne's career.

I just looked at Winslet's IMDB, three films coming up are junk. The best thing is a voice on an animated film.

I think Kate Winslet will go the way of Streep r101 Attractive enough, but not considered any great beauty, she’ll move into character acting as she gets older. She just has to wait it out until she’s old enough.

Anne Hathaway, Keira Knightly, Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Julia Styles-they were all coming up when I was in high school or so but by the time I graduated college, I rarely hear or see them in anything unless it's a type cast role, or some random ass thing.

Some actresses are able to rise up and continue acting in projects besides "mom" roles while others kind of just fall off the way side doing minor roles/gigs. I mean, they're all still working for sure; they're just not in the lime light as they once were, but that's entertainment. One day you're in and the next day...you're out. When you get older, you just gotta find a new niche. Is all.

She was way over-exposed following the Les Mis-Batman-Oscar trifecta and smartly stepped back for a bit. She got married and had a kid while starring in some very successful movies (Interstellar, Rio 2, The Intern). Plus she got great reviews for Colossal and has some big projects lined up for this year.

Holy shit, 1/3 of this thread are posts by one person. I guess we should all welcome AnnE or her PR people to DL.

I don't even think she's that pretty tbh with her huge misshapen eyes and her huge nose and her huge mouth

When did she stopped being AnnE?

All AnnE needs is another rom-com and all will be forgiven.

She took 2017 off.

"Colossal" was an interesting film. She was great in it.

My prediction is that she will go for a second kid soon. She's 35. She won't wait till she's 40.

Mild Kunitz is doing fine r104. She’s the star of Bad Moms which was a huge hit.

"It came true."

R113, it certainly didn’t. Ick.

And no one here has mentioned that she has 5”x7” features on a 4”x6” face.

[quote]nakedly whinging

I hate it when anyone nakedly whings anywhere near me!

Emily?

Someone upthread said she is grating and that's the best way to describe her. She's such an annoying band geek, and an average actress. I'm sure she'll work but she'll need to settle for character roles if she wants a long career.

She's like Novak Djokovic

really good at what he does but I hate him.

He tries to hard to be loved. Comes of inauthentic.

[quote] "If you take away the superhero and Hunger Games movies, she ain't doin' so hot."

[quote] Why would you, [R72]? She starred in them

Well first- she did't STAR in the superhero movies. She was part of an ensemble. And more importantly, both series were franchise movies based on properties with huge followings before they were ever made into films. You could have plugged Angelyne into The Hunger Games and it would have done the same business. And I seem to recall she didn't fare too well as Mystique.

I'm talking about Jennifer Lawrence vehicles. Joy, Mother, Red Sparrow, Serena... all were flops or disappointments. Her only post-Oscar hit, Passengers, could be credited as much to Chris Pratt as to her.

Liked Colossal too.

But does every AnnE movie have an existential transformation in it?

Usually for the better which is why the transformation in BBM, from happy wife to hateful cunt is so remarkable.

Now all I can see is Angelyne as Katniss Everdeen.

Thanks, r119.

I actually like Anne a lot. I think she has shitty taste in men and should try women. The Italian guy went to jail and the husbands job seems to be "being Anne's husband". Apparently he chased after young, rich women at Brown. I think she just lacks a few social skills, but we all do. She is just like the rest of us and is trying to fit in.

i like her too, she irritates others but shes no goop!

She is a lot better than Goop.

Can't believe Renee Zellweger got the Judy Garland biopic over her. I think AnnE looks more like her and is a better singer.

i got the impression Anne Hathaway is taking a timeout to pursue her family life, natalie portman did the same.

Anne Hathaway is a talker, and smart, and that puts people (americans) on edge. shes attractive but not a knockout in face or form without overt sexual heat.

Weird because Jennifer Lawrence wa just as publicity hungry as her campaigning for SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK. But she was the relatable kid on th block. I actually though Anne came off very well after upskirt incident.

Anne Hathaway uses big words while speaking, Lawrence is a high school dropout who burps out loud. both are girl next door types but Lawrence common touch is more relatable?

She's in a film noir with McConaughey which is coming out in January.

I really like Anne but cant stand Jlaw or Emma Stone. I think she might be keeping more low key in life but I think that comes from learning experiences and maturity.

She also has that re-make of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, with Rebel Wilson, next summer and the Netflix thing with Dee Rees and Ben Affleck in the Fall. Was just papped last week in NY shooting her part in an anthology for Amazon. She's doing fine.

husband seems gay

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

shes cute, smart , can act (rachel getting married) and dresses appropriately (well) for her age and body type but she pisses people off for some reason.

Emily Rossum took it over.

hubbys nothing special

Wasn't hubby known to chase after rich women at brown? Known about campus for that.

Considering she was in Ocean's 8 , I would say her career is not ruined. However, it is in noticeable decline.

Oh, god, R133, she has had some sort of eye surgery. They were always a bit buggy/droopy at the corners, but that was part of their cartoonish charm; they were her most beautiful and captivating feature. Someone must have told her they were aging her. She looks like Blake Lively in your clip.

This damage can't be undone, but she needs to stop fucking with her face NOW. (How is it that so many celebrities who try to preserve their looks end up worse off than if they had simply aged naturally and healthily? Madonna is a perfect example: All the money in the world, yet she has somehow slid into the realm of the grotesque.)

It's funny how someone becomes likeable as soon as their career hits a low. When AnnE's career and popularity go up again you'll like her a lot less.

The whole Hathahatred thing even was written about in the New York Times. That must have hurt. It was hard to pinpoint how it started. There was just something about all her award acceptance speeches that made her seem unlikable.

.....and I thought she deserved all those awards for Les Miz. Her version of I Dreamed a Dream is wonderfully acted.

Hathaway stole Ocean's 8.

No op. Hathaway is good looking , intelligent, and talented. She would be fantastic on Broadway. The hateful bullying campaign against her said more about how trashy Americans are than anything Anne did. The complaint I heard most about her was that she was "fake " because she behaved politely and enthusiastically in her interactions . The low class cunts who made these criticisms couldn't understand that not everyone is raised to act like a surly white trash brat in public.

Anne was fantastic in Ocean's 8 and made the film. People don't like her, big fucking deal. She wants to marry a gold digging, probably gay dude, so be it. I still think she looks happier with women, but each to their own.

yay we don't gotta look at her baby cow face no more...

moooo

anne u made so many comments here

WELCOME

On the bright side, Anne will always be more loved than r146 ND R147 who are probably home alone taking their aids meds.

I bet it was the anal.

She is good at what she does. He prob is she has bad taste in men,

How did the DL ‘AnnE’ meme start?

r5, Broadway musicals are hard work... 8 shows a week, live singing and dancing. You think a pampered Hollywood film star has to stamina to work for a living at musical theatre actors do?

Some film actors can handle stage and some can't. Look at Julia Roberts. She bombed HARD on stage. Some can go back and forth. Glenn Close is excellent on stage and on film. Honestly, the preparation for the role is no different. It's about being a little bit bigger and using your voice more (projection). Truth be told, it's not that bad of a gig. On stage, you can still have some time for a personal life. Even on two-show days, you can go out with friends and see your kids for a bit. Film sets can go on for over 12 hours. It's hellish. Give me the stage any day of the week.

Anne is incredibly talented and I'd love to see her come back to stage. She was rumored to be doing Sally Bowles in that last revival of Cabaret before they got Michelle Williams and (later) Emma Stone. Give her a few more years and she might make an interesting Mame or Mama Rose.

She's very talented--I would also love to see her do more work on Broadway or in film musicals.

Her problem is that while she's quite good as an actress, her looks really restrict what she can do. She always has to play the pretty princess. It would be hard to imagine her playing a villain or a lower class character 9other than a 19th century prostitute).

I have forgiven her for her obnoxious behavior during that Oscar season when she was campaigning to win BSA for "Les Miserables." A lot of people just go nuts when they have the inside track at an Oscar (Kate Winslet is another), and I figure that actors have craved Oscars so bad while growing up that the system sort of makes them go crazy.

Rachel at the Wedding was a gritty role. Love and another Drugs, Havoc, and Brokeback were not glamorous.

It's not whether she was CAST in gritty roles but whether she can play gritty roles convincingly.

She was great in Rachel.

All these people saying shes "pretty" need their eyes examined. Shes unusual looking,not unattractive but not particularly pretty. I find her to be one of those actors that when I see them in something I go "Oh,its her" then promptly forget about her. I neither liked nor hated her,but Les Miz was awful and she was awful in it.

The sad fact is that the roles she used to get are now going to Jennifer Lawrence Emma Stone; her best hope is to play someone's mom

I’d love to see her in ALW’s TELL ME ON A SUNDAY, especially the 2006 revised version with all the new songs. She would be sensational and could definitely hold the audience’s attention alone onstage for 90 minutes. It would be a cool live tv musical, too (which is what it started out as back in the 1970s anyway).

R158 - Dhe is definitively pretty. She has more unusual features, but they work for her.

R153. You obviously have never met anyone who has acted on Broadway. The ones I have known have told me that, during a run, they have no other life--the energy it takes is extraordinarily draining, if you are doing it right.

Why did Anne's Judy Garland biopic fall through?

R163 I remember years ago when that was bouncing around and the rumor was Gaga was desperate for the Liza role. This was years before anyone would even think of giving her an acting job.

I wonder if “Get Happy” will ever get made.

Actually, Gaga would make a GREAT Liza if she could nail Liza's personality. Gaga seems too...subtle? Uncharismatic maybe? Liza was and is a bundle of joy. You just want to smile when you watch her. Gaga doesn't really have that. At least, we haven't seen it yet. She could sing and (possibly) dance Liza, but I don't know if she could channel her personality.

I can not really see Gaga doing Liza justice. I think people are correct that Anne is losing roles to Jlaw (who can not act and does the same role, and I assume got a lot because Anne wouldn't fuck Harvey. what a career milestone that you got work and an Oscar because you fucked the fat guy) and Emma Stone, who also is pretty shit. I think Anne needs to go for the grittier roles. I think she can do it, and play a range, maybe some tv work as well like a mini series etc.

What does the husband do?

Why does she make me so angry?

Maybe you make yourself angry from jealousy?

r151 She won some minor critic's award for Les Miz and when she got on stage to make her speech she tried to joke how this was an honor but also an insult since they spelled her name wrong on the graphic when they showed her name. (They did they spelled it Ann.) So when people misspelled it as they did often on DL AnnE was born.

The husband is an actor too.

Harvey Weinstein intended for her to play Judy Garland on screen and on Broadway simultaneously. I wonder what she had to do to get that gig (never mind, both productions never panned out anyway)

I wonder how much of the hate is because she wouldn't screw Harvey and he hired shills to assassinate her and haters here just swallowed the bait.

Unlikable rapists like that creepy Kevin Spacy get a fraction of the hate.

r169: Hi, Anne!

R172 honestly, I would actually watch that if it ever were made. I think Anne as Judy would be interesting.

Talented but not "pretty".

I think Anne would be great as Judy. Maybe the problem with her career is that she would not fuck Harvey? I think the husband is a freeloading unemployed actor.

High praise.

I always forget she was in it, but then admire it.

Anne seems much more of a natural for Judy than Zellwgger (who I do like a lot). Neither of them really has the right voice for her, but you win some, you lose some.

I think Anne would do better than Zellwegger. I don't think Renee has the range. I looked up the husbands imbd, he is not an actor, he is a guy that found a rich, successful actress to get his lime light.

Anne has done some great work but I think she was great in Oceans 8.

That theory has been floated elsewhere r173. It may hold some merit.

I like her. She's OK. She won't get me to a movie, but she won't keep me away either.As I understand it,Anne has won her Oscar, got married, had a baby, so she's not pushing so much these days. Natalie Portman did the same thing. I guess they feel like they can be more picky?

I think Anne said in an interview with Ellen that she learnt a lot the past few years and that she googled herself and didn't realise the hate out there. And there is a lot of hate in general on the internet. A lot comes from jealousy. If you don't know this person, how can you truly have an opinion on this person? I think the merit of her not fucking Harvey might be true. But I also think her husband seems like a free loader.

not so smart, she is adrift....cant coast on big eyeballs and mouth no mo...

She had a kid so she slowed down working. I loved Ocean's 8. I'm with R183. She doesn't get my ass in a seat, but she doesn't keep me away (Rooney Mara, Dakota Johnson)

I think she is happy but id like to see her in some grittier roles. I like the balance she does though. At least she can say she didn't fuck Harvey for a job.

She embodies, in cupie-doll format, everything that is annoying about the most annoying of American women: a retention of girlishness, and the upward whine on the little-girl voice.

I think she seems a lot like her Oceans character. People think she is dumb but she isn't.

Are we discussing the fat girl from Prada?

I bet she really wanted that Mary Poppins role that Emily Blunt got nominated for. Emily and Meryl have worked together three times including Prada. Neither has worked with AnnE with an E. I did enjoy her in the Batman movie with Christian Bale's Batman. The movie version of Get Smart was pretty good too. She seems to do well with comedy or lighter stuff. She's talented, but there is something off putting there.

I don't mind Anne and her lighter parts. Yeah I can see her wanting Emilys roles which have been pretty good.

im so pissed Blunt got it. how, why, why why......is her hubby producing???

AnnE at R193, She "got it" because I like her best. That's all.

Emily Blunt is awesome, 'tho. Is she good enough to carry the Poppins film? She is certainly aloof enough to survive the experience if it fails.

AnnE was excellent in that weird Colossus movie. She's in a movie called Serenity with McConaughey which comes out in January. It has 'graphic sex scenes' presumably with her in them so she's getting more daring in her choices.

Wait, did someone just say neither Emily Blunt nor Meryl Streep have ever worked with Anne? Yeah, besides that little no-budget indie that no one saw called The Devil Wears Prada?

I think Emily did great in Mary Poppins.

Meh. With the right part she can make a comeback. Hollywood loves a comeback. But yes, OP, Hathaway damaged her career with her unfortunate Oscar campaign.

She doesn't need a comeback r199, she never damaged her career. She finished three major studio projects that are coming out next year, and was the critical hit of the Oceans8 group last year. She was offered millions to do the ever-percolating Barbie project at Sony, but ended up passing to do the Dee Rees Netflix project. She just finished filming an Amazon Prime anthology series.

She took time off to have her 1st kid so there's the appearance of a work slowdown but everyone gets a maternity leave. There's plenty of work in the pipeline, she worked almost non-stop last year.

Renee is going to camp it up, which is actually what I want to see in a Judy Garland biopic. AnnE would be dull.

I heard she's up for the Grand High Witch in the new adaptation of The Witches. Hm....

That's a good role and she'd be a prime fit, she resembles Anjelica Huston quite a bit imo.

Melissa Leo works a lot, and deservedly so, because she actually resembles a fucking human being.

I get her and nat portman mixed up. theyr equalllly vanilla and icky

I would like to see her do more the indie ones but I enjoyed the comedy.

What did she do wrong?

I think the average american had no idea about the intrnet hate anne got. I have no idea why she was so hated, so she tried too hard and appeared high strung, so what. She is a decent actor, gets the job done. I am frankly more annoyed with the likes of portman who thinks she is morally superior to everybody but incredibly inarticulate and says just as many dumb things as goop. Or jlaw who fucked for roles.

She has a movie coming out with McBongo. It was dumped into the dead zone of January releases.

There was a bit on Entertainment Tonight interviewing AnnE and McBongo and it claimed he's doing full frontal in Serenity.

it was just announced today she was cast as the lead in Robert Zemeckis's re-do of The Witches. Viola Davis in talks to co-star.

So she seems to be doing alright, OP.

Viola is grandma?

If her career tanks she can always go back to her old job at the bank working for Mr. Drysdale

Does anyone remember that infamous wardrobe malfunction she had at the premiere of that movie School of Rock? She claims she didn't know, but I just don't believe a female celeb and her handlers would be that incompetent about sheer tops/camera flashes in 2003.

No one likes her in Hollywood. She’s up her own ass.

She behaved no different to Jennifer Lawrence that Oscar season.

But Jennifer was got the fun and relatable narrative and Anne was desperate and intense.

R215 uhh no i don't. *Goes off to Google*
