[@ignaciomedina9816]

I saw "as good as it gets" many many times, because it´s a good movie, but you people are so blind discrediting Titanic that you can't see what's in front of you. I mean it's all right if you don't like it, but in terms of acting, Kate Winslet was the best performance of the year, and Helen Hunt didn't do a bad job, but please! it's not THAT good as people say here in the comments. She doesn't even come close to his partner in the movie, Jack Nicholson, her performance it's clearly overrated, i don't know why, maybe because of the very good writting in the movie, but still. As for Titanic, Kate winslet is wonderful as usual, you can just see all her feelings in the expression of her face, as well as the change of her character through the film, from the melancholy classy young lady, trapped in the rules of the aristocratic society, to the passionate and rebellious girl in love, and the heroine and survivor.

I'm, English, & it's refreshing to see, a brilliant, American, actress, like, Helen, win an, Oscar. It always seems to go to, posh, middle-class, English , actors.Well,deserved.An, amazing, performance.

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

That's because the Academy is made up of a bunch of liberals who tend to be Anglophiles (and Europhiles, in general). The rest of us Americans are as equally puzzled by all of the British (and European) love. Within the past decade, Hollywood has gotten ultra-liberal, which has resulted in more British (and European) castings/nominations/wins. However, the country now seems to be shifting right politically -- many Americans are sick and tired of woke culture/politics, which is championed by liberals -- so it will be interesting to see how that will affect the Oscars/Hollywood in this decade and beyond, after the Republicans take both houses of Congress and the White House (and then some). Conservatives are generally patriotic, so if they begin calling the shots, it will be all about America First. Liberals have a reputation/history of being un-American.

All these comments about Kate Winslet are hilarious. Prior to the Oscars, Helen Hunt had won the SAG award for Female Actress in a Leading Role (in any genre) as well as the Golden Globe for Lead Actress in a Musical or Comedy. Judi Dench had won the Golden Globe for Lead Actress in a Drama. Basically, Kate Winslet didn't have a chance in hell.

[@MillennialAngst]

I think even Kate would agree that she didn’t deserve an Oscar for Titanic. She herself has said that she cringed when watching her performance, saying, “Really? You did it like that?” Helen did a great job at portraying a sensitive but tough Irish working class single mom from Brooklyn who doesn’t think much of herself, yet doesn’t take crap either. She captured the essence of her character perfectly.

Helen’s right that Greg Kinnear’s performance was fantastic. Robin Williams, who won the Oscar for supporting actor in Good Will Hunting, was also terrific. Both weren’t typecasted into their respective roles. I think Robin playing a “serious” character that was quite a departure from his other portrayals certainly didn’t hurt. Greg was a relatively obscure actor at the time, and I think both the character he played and the overall tone of the screenplay being a dark romantic comedy-drama with themes of homophobia, racism, misogyny, mental illness, and class divisions presented a more complex role. The movie was about three very different characters. Jack, Helen, and Greg were sensational; only two won any kind of award for their performance.

Helen hunt , fabulous in this movie

[@robsario]

Even this little clip brought tears to my eyes! She was amazing. Great movie, great cast.

I liked the fact that Helen Hunt said nice things about the Nominees especially Judi Dench I didn't see the Movie Judi Dench was in, but I saw Titanic several times and I thought Kate Winslet did a great job in that Movie. I think it might have been interesting and maybe would have put Kate winslet over the Edge is that if through Make up she played the Old Version of herself as well as her younger version instead of having another Actress play the Older Version of herself. Although that actress also did a great job.

I LOVED HELEN HUNT FINALLY BEING NOMINATED, & THEN WINNING ! Not only is she a wonderful, totally committed actor, she is completely the character she portrays ; she is fully, an actor's actor. And, in " Castaway ", Helen deserved -the Oscar, for her performance. Love, this woman ! ------MJL, 77 y/o
