First of all, I love her as an actress and think she was good but not Oscar worthy. Janet McTeer was 1000000x better in

That's your opinion. Just that - an opinion. How sad that you felt the need to post this on her page. Speaks volumes. Celebrate your hard work Octavia and enjoy!

agreed wholeheartedly. I don't get the point of coming to her page just to announce to the world you didn't think she deserved it. so what, she won. get over it or go find something else to whine about
Heck is where you go to if you don't believe in Gosh

Are you done whining? Good. Octavia has the Oscar. Obviously, the Academy thinks she deserved it. End of story. Now go whine somewhere else.

The movie did not do her part justice - listen to her as Minnie on the audiobook. She was beyond excellent!

She sure didn't deserve it. I agree Janet McTeer deserved the statuette instead. I'm also a fan of Jessica Chastain's work. However a supporting actress win early in an ingenue's career is a trap. I'd like to see Chastain win for best actress.

Well Chastain could very well win best actress
Octavia deserved the Oscar. She was great in The Help.

Agreed.. there were at least 5 better performances that year..
Charlotte Gainsbourg for Melancholia.. who I think should've won
Carey Mulligan for Shame
Shailene Woodley - The Descendants
Berenie Bejo - Artist
and Jessica Chastain was also better in The Help
but hey, the Academy seems to love overweight black women.. Jennifer Hudson and Monique are good recent examples

She got the Oscar because she's black - Fact.
You think Halle Berry got the Oscar for Monsters Ball because she acted good?.
Oscars are meh now, all about politics and connections now.
