No, it''s because they clearly respect each other.

I definitely think you're right. But then, it is funny to think that they are essentially some of the best pretenders in the world, so we may never know.

From day one when she played the fat chick on Smallville I knew she deserved an Oscar.

She doesn't need an Oscar. She's one of the best actresses of her generation. Oscars don't mean anything.

Julianne Moore is one of the greatest actresses of our generation. She is also a personal favorite of mine. If any one actress deserves an oscar after years of being robbed and looked over it is Ms Moore.

[@PaladinesAngel]

She is such a terrific actress and always comes across in interviews as incredibly sweet and kind and genuine. Love her

[@TheMelMan]

Man I've been watching these round tables all afternoon as I work. Excellent stuff.

[@a.ramawand9954]

what do you work with haha, im really curios

[@TheMelMan]

Hahaha, well this is my side hustle not my main job but I can actually watch these in the office too. I'm an artist, I do comic books, posters, news letters, lots of visual media. I think I was working on a storyboard on this particular day.

[@a.ramawand9954]

[@marchbros-bk9hp]

Amy Adams was amazing in American Hustle. Julianne Moore gave a brilliant performance that made me cry in Still Alice, she was long overdue for an Oscar, but I'm glad she finally won. it took her one less Nominations then it took Decaprio

[@DeadstarSeries]

I'm a black filmmaker who hopes to work in the industry one day, and I don't think there's anything wrong with having an all white roundtable. I say that because people act like this is done on purpose, but the truth is all of these actresses are on the oscar radar for their performances this year. I haven't seen all the movie but I've seen Boyhood and I think she should be nominated for her work. So why would you replace her with a black actress just for the sake of having a black actress on the roundtable. That would be racist. Also look at last years roundtable, they had Oprah, Lupita Nyongo, and Octavia Spencer. But because they all had great performances.

[@FrumpyDucks]

People love to cause friction where there is none

[@GreenGretel]

IA. Hollywood does have a diversity problem (and a gender problem) - more so when it comes to LEAD actors and people at the top (producers/directors) rather than just actors in general - but pointing to this one table and collection of actors to prove racism in Hollywood is misguided. Black Americans are only 13/14% of the population, so there's not going to be a black actress nominated every year. I do think the lack of quality material centered around or given to black female actresses this year, though, can be partially attributed to an intersection of racism/sexism.

[@superNowornever]

Thank you for your comment. As an older black woman, I find these red herring grievances to just dilute the real social issues that need to be addressed. This was a panel of 7 actresses for one particular year of filmmaking. Last year the panel was 50% black. This constant whine and refrain really detracts from valuable issues these actresses were discussing.

[@anmepa93]

THANK YOU for this comment.

[@michealsheets4126]

yes you are right boyhood she is excellent felocity excellent julianne excellent dern always good i loved them all want thinking shit they all white girls i was not thinking that or came to my mind just as i can go off and say viola davis best freking actress ever made i could be mad cause she dont get the everything she deserves but she knows she is good and we know she is so its all good viola davis to me is amazing but maybe someone dont think so and i dont love her and her acting cause she happens to be not white

[@raexrockstar]

They all had such intelligent and engaging feedback/comments. And the love and support of one another wad lovely to see. This was a great round table. People can hate all they want but this was a very interesting video.

I kind of wish she'd talked a bit more since she's my favourite

[@daffodilZephyr]

I can't believe everyone is talking about racism in the comment section. These women told phenomenal stories, and portrayed profound characters. This panel was just so lovely and insightful. Every year THR picks actresses whose films generated oscar buzz. We do not know who they invited prior, and I would rather see actresses who are there based on their performances, not to fill a quota.

[@jk11zo20]

Well said

[@nickclark6466]

micheal sheets

[@Michael-xi9nb]

Agreed. It makes me laugh that people are complaining about lack of diversity at a roundtable. You're pointing in the wrong direction; Hollywood is the one who is making the casting decisions. How can POC actors participate in a roundtable if they don't have an Oscar-worthy role?

[@daffodilZephyr]

***** we don't know who got invited we only know who showed up. For all you know they invited the actress from selma but she couldn't make it. Calm down!

[@DonnaBrooks]

I love the woman who starts talking shortly after 39:06 about the photographer who was following her & her daughter and she said, "This is a teachable moment for my daughter. If a man is following you, and you ask him to stop and he doesn't," [you should tell him to fuck off in a loud voice (my paraphrase)]. ITA.

[@symphoniejo]

I love this round table so much, because it's all strong, yet gentle and vulnerable women, who build each other up and genuinely support one another. It's beautiful to see.

[@tanja0599]

I love amy. she really should have won the oscar for her performance in Junebug, Doubt and the master. She's always convincing.

[@mariadelsocorromorales6380]

Preach for that! 🙌

[@CesarPorro]

Felicity Jones kept looking as though she wanted to say something but either held back or was spoken over before she could get her bit in, which is upsetting because I'm sure she has so much insight to share being a young actress, but her quietness is totally understandable -- she's around very veteran, experienced actresses, so along with intimidation, I'm sure her focus was on taking in what they had to say. I can only hope she's on a future round-table having succeeded with another smashing role, and with a bit more conversation to provide. Also, Patricia Arquette was bringing it, she was being downright real -- loved her commentary. This was a very lovely round-table, but yes, I like everyone else hope to see more diversity, and more PoC from films when it comes to leading roles -- there are so many voices to be heard, and so many different perspectives from so many different people and cultures and I would love to see that at a round-table very soon. Here's to next year!

[@mateuscarvalho3870]

Couldn't you guys get Jessica Chastain for one of her 20 movies coming out this year?

[@salamanderjones7064]

they had her on the interstellar roundtable already

[@DTRILLION2k100]

Lea Gebbie yeh and chris nolan did two round tables. So jessica should be there for her second time as well

[@sirjohnlegion2691]

I was surprised they didn't get her for one of these roundtables back in 2012. She had 9 movie releases that year and was nominated for best actress (oscar & golden globe).

[@matttennis]

+Mateus Murozaki I agree. I would have rather had Jessica Chastain on than Felicity Jones. Jessica Chastain is young, so a younger actress would be represented in this talk, and she has had much more experience than Felicity Jones has had.

[@namaankhan8306]

+Tyler Robinson She even won the golden globe that year.

[@ellag3009]

They were all so sweet and gentle with each other. Love the end where they all in unison say, "thank you," in reply. That was great. You get a supportive/ed feeling afterwards.

[@quillber]

Amy Adams is such a sweetheart

[@regismungarulire]

This interviewer is a ton better than the interrupting one. The conversation flows and no one gets abruptly interrupted like with the roundtable of directors or of the male actors. People actually get to share their love and admiration for one another here.

[@krismilko]

"Keep your eyes on your own paper." Wow, that was the best way to end the round table discussion. My interpretation from that was you don't compare your life or successes to others, you run your own race. It's your journey and it's your life...do your thing. I'm seriously going to take that to heart for the rest of my life. I loved this! No interruptions and these women really respected each other.

[@Victoria_2005]

I LOVE these actress round-tables, not only because they're so interesting, but that you've revealed and validated how supportive they are of each other, which the gutter media don't seem to want to divulge i.e. there's no jealousy or infighting amongst actresses; the gutter press are so sexist and disgusting, it makes me cringe.

[@MasinaTai86]

They're all wonderful rolemodels. I like how Hilary Swank said the thing about people not showing their colours all in one go. Everybody's different with a different story so it's good to see that not everybody makes a snap judgement of a person off of face value.

These women touched upon so many important questions of our lives, I wish we had more of these kinds of conversations in everyday life. Reflective, constructive, and based upon a set of very good values. You can really tell how grown each one of them is and how brilliant their world view is. This makes me realize I should really get rid of some friends with poor value systems and low emotional intelligence who judge a lot and unfairly and treasure friends with emotional maturity like this

[@VMonee81]

Reese and Patricia worked together 30 years ago. So awesome to see how far they’ve both come.

[@wolfstar675]

It's fucking ridiculous how some people are commenting that this roundtable is racist. Shut the fuck up seriously just because there is no black actress it's not because they are racists. If a black actress didn't delivered a great performance to be there should they just put there just because it's what sounds correct to do? These actresses were invited here because of the movies that are featured here not because it's some conspiracy of racism. People are so hateful these days and literally criticize everything without knowing anything they just try to make a statement.

[@katyga]

I know, is not the reporters fault, there just aren’t that many great roles out there for people of color. Whenever there are, they always invite them to the roundtables, for example last year there were many people of color in all of the roundtables, because they were great Oscar contenders.

[@wolfstar675]

katyga Exactly.

[@becathist]

Critiquing the severe lack of diversity and available work for women of color in Hollywood is not hate in any way, shape, or form. It'd be one thing if people were putting these women down, but I don't see that. If anything, it's an accurate commentary on the fact that the collective movie making industry as a whole needs to do better. Asking for better opportunities and more representation is not hateful, not even in the slightest.

[@wolfstar675]

Rebecca K. This women are here because of the films they did which are up for oscar nominations and they didn't had any woman of color because there was no specific performance they could have have added for this specific roundtable. Besides there are great roles for people of color on films there are many. Last oscar ceremony many Steve McQueen won an oscar as well as Lupita Nyongo. There are roundtables with actors and directors of different races but not for this specific one. If someone didn't gave an interesting performance it wasn't because of the race it was because of the actor, character, script, direction whatever many things could go wrong but not because of race.

[@becathist]

Enrique Godinez Did you not read my entire comment or... Also, last year was a standout rarity. Women of color in film are constantly talking about the lack of roles. Really, google it, it's not some made up issue. Asking for better is in no way "hate."

[@PaladinesAngel]

I love getting the chance to listen to amazing actors and actresses share their insights. Patricia has always been an awesome person with great insights into life, and am always excited to hear what she has to say. The only thing about these shows is the Male interviewers rarely seem to really listen to their guests. They have a set of questions and they stick to the formula even if the conversation is heading in a completely different direction. It’s greatest when one of the other guests asks are question, which is usually really interesting and insightful. I have been in a KZbin spiral watching these all day. :)

This is amazing, it's great to see all these amazing actresses, some more experienced than others but talented nonetheless, sit together and have such an amazing conversation about their experiences as actresses as well as their personal lives. I love watching them be so "human" and makes you feel more relatable to them. I feel very often they get put on a pedestal, which they don't necessarily choose to be put on, and we forget that before they were famous they had normal lives. And even those who have done it for years they've lived life just as we do, so it's nice to be reminded that these beautiful humans are so personable.
