As your god, I will forgive your ignorant indiscretions.

Now, yes, but it did get things right from its inception to about 2015.
Again, when were
you
ever the voice of reason?

Let’s face it, the Academy rarely gets it right.
Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Bullshit.
The Academy was reasonable from its inception to about 2015.

Yes, it put her on radar and the acclaim she got did nothing but boost her career.
Actors that win Oscars can usually find it difficult to live up to the hype, especially newcomers. Bates just got better and better.
1989 & 1990 weren’t exceptional years for leading ladies. Any other year, Bates may have not been victorious. The following year was very strong 1991.

Bates recently said that being in Misery changed the trajectory of her life
Rob Reiner casting her gave her recognition and it's why we know her today

They fully lost it at the end of the 20th Century. The 90’s was the beginning starting with Misery.

What is reasonable about the Academy’s so called voice of reason? Sounds like you aren’t listening to reason.

Since when was the Academy the voice of reason?

Yeah, I’ll take the opinion of professionals and the Academy Awards over some worthless internet maggot. Thanks for playing, though.

Then you don’t understand acting.

Bates delivered a knockout performance, absolutely perfect, wouldn’t change a frame.

I have read the excellent novel twice. No film adaptation can be the novel. Sometimes they are better, sometimes they aren’t.
It is a very good film, with a technically erratic performance by Bates. It is too forced. While her character was erratic, her representation of Wilkes’s psychosis was not sublime or nuanced enough to be believable.
Check an earlier post I made about performance compares.

It’s a perfect film, and is better than the very good novel. Goldman nailed the screenplay, Reiner crushes the direction, keeping the focus on the actors (and rightly changing the foot amputation to an ankle smashing - something Goldman objected to but was totally won over by when he saw the finished piece)
Caan is perfect as Paul, and Bates is incredible as Annie. She deserved that award, and all the subsequent praise.

You don’t really, you’re just in denial.
Enlighten me please about what you disagree with?
Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Disagree completely.

Good for you.
