I love that she doesn't wear makeup. Just naturally stunning. The speeches she made during awards season were just amazing💛

[@robertmcelwaine7024]

*"As Martin Said, I have trouble with compliance"* Lol Frances McDormand cutting through the bullshit like a boss. Good for her.

[@harlemzahir8682]

I know it is kinda off topic but does anybody know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?

[@SupaahAQW]

Best Female Leading Performance in a long time. Hope she wins the oscar.

[@Petlover10000]

There is no doubt she will win. When this film came out a few months ago, I already predicted she would get the Golden Globe which she did, and the next big one will be her 2nd Oscar.

[@musicalia3858]

She will, that's for sure.

[@zuziabuecka5954]

She has won!!! 👏👏

[@strandgirl1000]

She won. For the best actress.

[@musicalia3858]

I knew she would.

[@anjaplushenka5995]

Frances always delivers. A brilliant actress; a very interesting human being.

[@SonattaMorales]

Fantastic actress, her work in Three Billboards is simply perfect.

[@fabboydan]

Every single award she got she delivers a message and great speech!

[@StefyCutess]

I love the "Three Billboards" main theme. Everytime I hear it I remember Frances walking like this, like she's a total badass just like her Mildred Hayes.

[@YTfancol]

Brilliant actress

[@iigogi6244]

and funny

[@victoriaharker5436]

Frances is my favorite leading lady

[@Liltonxi]

Why didn't she hug her husband or even look at him..

[@Liltonxi]

The Coen Brother was totally ignored

[@jay_rjabonillo9908]

+Liltonxi they're not typical Hollywood couple who will kiss and hug every time they gonna get an award. Being there as company and being together for the longest time is enough.

[@MLSoll]

Sally is such a cutie

[@vladajanic]

Sally is sooooooo cute.. love her so much!!

[@k.m.7141]

I'm going to need a GIF of her saying "Power to the people."

She walks away like she just hit the walk off grand slam at the winning game of the World Series.

[@nwguy9816]

She's excellent in this film. Glad to see her win this award.

Happy for Frances. But I love Sally. She is so cute, shy, and lovely. And yeah an amazing actress as well.

Bravo is an accolade one extends to a man. Brava is the correct form for a woman.

[@ragnardanneskjold6509]

Citation neede.. oh forget it. I don't want to have to explain what one is..

[@Zollverein-kf8gj]

No disrespect to Frances. She is a force of tsunami in Three Billboards. But personally I really want Sally win the award and hopefully the Oscar in two weeks’ time. I’ve loved Sally since Happy Go Lucky and watched every single movie she’s in, Jane Eyre, Made in Dagenham, Blue Jasmine, Paddington and Maudie etc. She may not be pretty, sexy or a model material, but she is a down-to-earth, humble actress who does her job professionally. I am glad that she finally gets international fame and spotlight for her sublime performance in the Shape of Water. Hopefully this is not a flash in the pan. Rather a new beginning of her fruitful career!

[@hhuiah]

my thoughts exactly! i find sally's role more challenging hence she deserves it more

[@aryaman98]

I hope this is the top comment and everyone should know what tour de force performance Sally Hawkins gave in The Shape of Water! and this year's awards could have boosted her career! but no all the awards be like ''We'll give it to the elder one, who has worked more'' I mean there's no logic to that. You give the award to the BEST performance not the best career!!!! I hope I FREAKING HOPE the oscars redeem Sally Hawkins!!!!!

[@iigogi6244]

agree,Sally give beautiful performance

[@digantkaushik2389]

People said the same things when Frances won an Oscar for Fargo. She was not the prettiest but her talent speaks. Both Frances and Sally are amazing.

[@LouiseAndersen1991]

If Sally had won anywhere besides GG for Best Comedy Actress, then maybe. But I really don't think there is gonna be a surprise for the acting awards at the Oscars anymore

[@hasannamir5889]

I love Frances but Sally truly deserved the award. I doubt that she'll win the Oscar but I really really hope she does

[@nicknicknick5305]

Zenevi Mawii No. Frances wins 100% Critic's Choice + Golden Globe + SAG + BAFTA = Oscar

[@zen_m24]

nick nicknick yeah I know Frances is most likely to win the Oscar but I HOPE Sally wins

[@nicknicknick5305]

Zenevi Mawii You have never seen "Three Billboards". Frances 's performance are powerhouse, outstanding and stronger than Sally Hawkins.

[@zen_m24]

nick nicknick I have and it's a great film with a great performance by Frances but I'd still choose Sally. She gave a fantastic performance and showed a range of emotions without even saying a word. Also she's a very underrated actress who keeps delivering amazing performances but doesn't get much recognition

[@kamakazilee6066]

Zenevi Mawii While Sally's performance is amazing and very heartwarming, its still hard to relate to her character. Im not putting her down, her performance is outstanding.

[@michaeltoffaloni1904]

Power to the people.

[@assadarlingtoni]

Gosh i think Sally should've won this one but good for Frances Love Sally so much

[@Ernie1978]

Sally should have won, she is so humble and lovely even when she lost and that makes me more sad. She lost in her own country. Grrrr!!

[@hhuiah]

ditto. my heart sank when sally lost on home turf i have now officially given up all hope on seeing sally win at a major/mainstream award show

[@Ernie1978]

Lemon mate, I feel the same way but Sally taught me a lesson when she was so gracious to Frances. I am telling you Sally is magic.

[@markxist]

It annoys me that BAFTA will always treat every nominee fairly and think nothing of giving awards to American actors and films whilst the Oscars will always give to their own first

[@hhuiah]

the love and respect they give each other is indeed heart-warming :)

[@mimidallas9503]

You dont win awards for being humble and lovely. Frances is much more charming and interesting actress. She was fierce in her role.

[@jc0730]

Utter brilliance.

the fact that she may(will) win the oscar and saoirse won't still bums me out tho. Can't it be a tie like in 1962?

[@SymphonyBrahms]

The seldom happens. And it was 1964 when Hepburn and Streisand tied and both won.

[@aryaman98]

Wow!!! this is the time for me to get F***ing pissed!! Really!! Frances McDormand!!!!!!! and what about Sally Hawkins huh??!!!!!!!!! Here's what's gonna happen The Shape of Water HAS TO win (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Production Design, Best Original Score &...Best Actress) oscars to redeem itself!!

[@jacobskinner3522]

Maybe they preferred Frances to Sally? Also, if you love Shape of Water so much--as, by the way, do I; best film of 2017--why should it have to "redeem" itself?

[@aryaman98]

for oscar recognition! So 3 Billboards has been getting all the major awards and if Shape of Water wins the major categories at the Oscars then it will be a huge win for the movie even though it lost all the other awards (Golden Globes, BAFTAS, (not Critics' Choice), SAG) to 3 Billboards - Get it?

[@jacobskinner3522]

Yeah, I get what you mean, I just don't understand your logic. It's going to win Best Director, so it isn't like they're ignoring it.

[@aryaman98]

What's the harm in winning more awards???

[@nicknicknick5305]

The Shape of Water loses to nominated for SAG Awards (cast in motion picture) and Sally & Richard lose to Frances & Sam too.

[@ruchpat1]

I haven't seen any of these movies

[@shockoloco]

Weird. I wonder why Frances doesn't kiss Sally's hands back. I would have spontaneously done in a femanly gesture of love. :)

[@markxist]

I hope her performance in 3 Billboards is better than the ham she's displaying as she strides up to the podium! Don't get me wrong, I like Frances as an actress but you don't need to 'perform' at BAFTA, this isn't the Oscars and we can see through that crap at a thousand yards. She really irritated me all the way through this actually, sat there like everyone's most fearful maiden aunt at a wedding, taking all the praise and then coming out to say 'yeah I couldn't be arsed wearing black like the rest of you because, though I want you all to know I stand in solidarity, I do still want to stand out' Ugh. Yeah, Sally should have won.

[@nicknicknick5305]

Markxist No. Frances will and should win an Oscar. Critic's Choice + Golden Globe + SAG + BAFTA = Oscar

[@xz9376]

She is a great actress, but this year, it should be Saoirse Ronan. Seniority seniority seniority.

[@mynameis4080]

oh please, of the two roles, Frances' was obviously harder to pull off, much more dynamic and possessed an incredible delicacy that Lady Bird just simply couldn't deliver. I personally found Saoirse's role as Lady Bird not that impressive, it was a decent performance, but certainly not OSCAR worthy. Fun fact, Anna Pecquin won Best Actress in a Supporting role for the pianist at age 11, Tatum O'Neal won the same award at age 10, so don't say that critics are only in favor of well accomplished actors/actresses

[@mynameis4080]

true, i dont like the film either. Still, i think Frances or Sally deserves the award more than Saoirse.
