It’s baffling to me that Kirsten Dunst is one of the most influential actresses of our time and yet she gets little recognition. Fargo was nominated plenty of times but never won (I think). She has been in so many great movies and you don’t really see people hyping for her, except for her role in Spider-Man which a lot of people loved. One of her movies that is an absolute masterpiece is Melancholia. I just cannot understand why she isn’t receiving more praise, she is very talented and had so many iconic roles. But she seems well and happy, I’m glad that she’s doing alright. Can’t wait to see this new movie she’s in

[@t.g.6565]

Something I’ve always thought put into words. This comment is exactly how I’ve felt for many years. I also cannot wrap my head around how she does not get the recognition she deserves. Her talent and mesmerizing looks. The whole package. It’s like Hollywood put her on a lone island and forgets she’s there, it’s baffling to me.

[@leleprtk]

She was phenomenal in Fargo

[@slayerduval1]

She's never turned in a bad performance. @@leleprtk

[@albertricci2200]

She should've won an Oscar and a Globe and everything else for Melancholia. Her performance in that movie is nothing short of extraordinary.

[@gagan7488]

Right? Melancholia is one of my favorite movie.

[@hezebelbeing]

Agreed. Actually and Emmy's for both Fargo and On Becoming A God and yes everything else :D. She's just brilliant in everything she does. Melancholia is in my top 10 films of all time. Plemons is one of my fave actors, he MAKES everything he's in, which is what Kirsten does too. Game Night even, SO GOOD. I'm Thinking of Ending Things OWAH MYAH GAWD, Jesse working with Charlie Kaufman is a dream come true. I found out they were together after Fargo...it was just a warm and CORRECT feeling, both so talented and down to earth.

[@bendovermen9425]

Agreed, she should have won two, one for each funbag...

She should've been nominated for Melancholia. It's probably her best work so far not to mention she won a Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival but not nominated for an Oscar is a total crime. Can't express how truly phenomenal she was in that movie

[@AngelofMusic04]

She should have been on her fourth nomination this year: one for "Interview with the Vampire", another for "Marie Antoinette", a third for "Melancholia" and this fourth one for "The Power of the Dog".

[@theRyanCho]

I was in the studio audience during this taping with Kirsten Dunst and Wilmer Valderrama. The original Spider-Man film trilogy was a huge part of my childhood, so seeing Kirsten in person (was in the front row seating area) was such a surreal/emotional experience (I also worked with an actor on a film 4 years ago that used to be friends with her/attend parties). She was very nice when not filming as well. The Spider-Man fan/that kid that saw the Spider-Man trilogy in theaters is very happy \m/. A full circle experience :D.

[@Horus070]

It's really interesting because the impression I get of Dunst from reading her interviews is completely different to seeing interviews and appearances on talk shows... It's surprising just how much the perception of someone can change going from one medium to another. She seems so genuine and kind and honest in this and man, I want to see her in more films!

I bought that season of Fargo on DVD. Probably seen it five times or more. Kirsten is such a funny quirky character esp paired with Jesse Plemons! That season set a new high bar.

[@MidnightDriveToNowhere]

@@markrobinson891 yes! By FAR, one of the BEST series on TV, and S2 was the epitome of true Coen Bros magic. S4 was still great but it just didn't seem to have that true Fargo sparkle, if that makes sense... the whole series still on Hulu btw

[@circusm139]

It’s funny because I remember her saying on this show that Hollywood has forgot her and I thought that wasn’t the case. Now she’s the front-runner for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar!!

[@4deleDaz33m]

She's also a Cannes Film Festival Best Actress winner for her fantastic performance in Melancholia. The fact that she won Cannes but failed to get an Oscar nomination was a total crime. Easily her best work in her career, she was just phenomenal in that movie

Also, her husband's seems very sweet and is an enormous talent, ( I remember him in PT Anderson's, "The Master" wonderful performance), I'm sure that's something a talent like hers needed first and foremost.
