Tears After Announcement

[Blind Gossip] This woman wept after hearing the list of Oscar nominees.

She’s not going to admit it, but she was up most of the night waiting for the announcement. When they said her name, she immediately burst into tears and didn’t stop crying for ten minutes. She was so overwhelmed, she could not even speak.

Yes, she got a nomination. Good for her!

      Oh, clever! It never says that [name] was nominated, just that she was “hearing the list of nominees”. And that she got teary “when they said her name”.

      So Tonya, whose name is in the title, would fit here. And she’s blonde.

      Hilarious that she should be crying when the famous memory of the incident is *Nancy Kerrigan* in tears. What goes around…

    • ChattyCat says

      But the last line says she was nominated. What would Tonya Harding be nominated for? And why would she be so touched that another person got a nomination just because it’s a story about her? Doesn’t make sense to me.

    Greta Gerwig for Best Director – snubbed at the Globes, she was sure to score the nom now. Good for her is right! Only 5 women have ever been nominated for this award.

    Actress: Octavia Spencer, “The Shape of Water”

    Clue: Tears=Water, “could not speak”=lead character in film is a mute

    Odds: eh, she already won. I’d bet on Mary J. Blige getting the “diversity votes”.

    But forget that! That’s a Vince Colletta romance comic panel in the illo, isn’t it? (Colletta did romance before becoming Jack Kirby’s inker on Thor.) That almost has *me* in tears of joy! 🙂 Love it.

    Woman: Margot Robbie
    Her brother uploaded an Instagram story with her celebrating and she looked near tears.

    Optional: I don’t know her odds but I would be REALLY happy if she won

    Margot Robbie

    She was great. The movie was surprisingly entertaining. Totally deserving of a nomination. No way she beats out Frances or Saiorse though.
    So…5% chance?

  16. torrey says

    I’m going with Margot Robbie since she’s blonde and has played a comic book character. Most of the other nominees have had multiple nominations, so I doubt they’d be tearful.

    • Lisa_D says

      Frances McDormand has so far won every major best actress award of the season, and is highly favoured to win. At the Golden Globes, in the comedy category (which Frances wasn’t in) Saoirse Ronan won over Margot Robbie. I think she will have to be happy with the nomination.

  21. sherdinana says

    Margot Robbie, its the first time she has been properly critically acclaimed for her performance.

    • Bend3r says

      She is also a producer, so I reckon ‘I, Tonya’ is a passion projecto, it makes sense it’s her.

  31. totskie says

    Margot Robbie. She might get the Oscar because she uglied herself up for the role. That tends to get an actress the statue. Though Sally Hawkins from the Shape of Water deserves to get the award. Apart from one song she never opened her mouth and was able to portray so many emotions.

  33. Starwatcher says

    Margot Robie, She won’t win, the best Actress Category is too strong even after a major Michelle Williams snub

  39. Bystander says

    Margot Robbie?

    Optional: She will win. I think she deserves it. She is underated as an actress.

  43. SouthJerseyGirl says

    Greta Gerwig for best directory. I think her chances are pretty good but you never know.

  45. mquinn says

    Greta Gerwig!
    She totally deserves it.
    I hope she wins, I’m tired of the same male directors.

  46. vanillasky says

    Margot Robbie. She was really good, but I don’t think she will win Best Actress. Allison will probably win Supporting Actress which is well-deserved.

  47. gonegirl81 says

    Margot Robbie. I like her. I don’t think she’ll win though. I think it will go to Frances Mc Dormand as she is more established?

  48. KCeagle says

    Margot Robbie ?

    She has a small chance of winning because the field is strong this year. Her stunningly beautiful looks might work against her, but Hollywood likes when beauties kinda ugly it up for a role. Looking at you Charlize Theron.. she’s so not a Monster IRL.

    • KCeagle says

      This could also be Mary J. Blige.
      Heaven knows this chick loves to cry. Amazing singer but her songs are ALWAYS melancholy.

  53. Zafona says

    Maybe Sally Hawkins?
    I like her but it’s not very likely. My bet for the award is Frances McDormand.

  58. lucasj says

    I’d say Margot Robbie, since she’s the only lead actress w/o a nomination.

    I hope she gets some recognition, she did a great job. There is also the fact that the Academy awards actors that they feel “got their due” sometimes, but that would be surprising in this case as although Saorise is wonderful and has been nominated 3x, she’s only 23 (agh! I’m 25 & not even out of law school and she’s accomplished so much at her age!). Everyone was amazing this year, but I think Margot has a…

  60. smoolieloo says

    I’m going to guess best director nominee Greta Gerwig since the clues say “woman” instead of actress and the cartoon image is blonde like Gerwig.
    I have no idea if she should win or not. I chose about 15 years ago to only watch movies on TCM. lol

  62. RadiantA says

    I’m gonna say Margot Robbie based on the photo. I’d give her slim odds given her competition.

  64. Jelly Drop says

    Margot Robbie.

    Her chance is zero sadly. Her performance was dynamic. And she even produced that movie. Frances will win this one.

  68. PettyBish12 says

    I want to say it’s Greta Gerwig since they didn’t say it was an actress, but we’ll see.

  71. cyanblues says

    margot robbie because of the blonde hair in the pic.

    or
    mary j blige?

    or
    alison janney?

    help!

  74. gailpow says

    Woman: Margot Robbie for I, Tonya.
    The picture looks just like her. She won’t win, but it is an honor, nonetheless.

  75. Conchord says

    I’m guessing Margot Robbie. She’s the only one of the lead acting nominees who has not been nominated before, and the picture kind of looks like her.

  83. wildaz says

    Allison Janney
    I think she is such a versatile actress. It’s hard to believe this is her first (first?) Oscar nod.

    I hope she wins.

  86. blackmountainbones says

    Margot Robbie said she cried after hearing about her nomination but I think this is Allison Janney. She’s never been nominated before and the bit about not admitting she was up all night waiting for it sounds like her. idk what her chances are but I hope she wins, I love her!!
