Why Hollywood Won't Cast Hilary Swank Anymore

[@selenalunarogers6858]

She has already won 2 academy awards by the age of 30 years old. ,she doesn't have to prove anything to anyone.there are many actors who have died,never having the honor to win An ACADEMY Award.

[@JeromeProductions]

Yep

[@muhuhuhuhuhu]

Dude Al Pacino is 80 YEARS OLD . The greatest actor ever has only one 1 Oscar. Does he have anything to prove too? No. Oscar is just bullshit man

[@rhymfre4266]

The reason why Hollywood won't cast Hilary swank anymore is because she doesn't want to act as much as she did. She wants to live a normal life and take care of her father. Not to mention, her fiancé just left her when they were about to get married so yeah, I don't blame her for not wanting to be famous anymore.

[@jeffdaman6969]

I can see that.

[@rhymfre4266]

Yeah. People like Hilary swank, Hayden Christensen and others know that Hollywood can screw people over. Not to mention, they have other interests too.

[@Ektalon]

+EMAN67 (Movies,politics,commentary) It's because of the clickbait title of these pieces. They should be called "Why you don't see _____ in movies recently" or something. A lot of the reasons turn out to be: "They're doing something else", "They've taken a break for family", "They're doing tv/stage acting" etc.

[@rhymfre4266]

To be fair, there are actors who are irrelevant and are trying to be relevant again. Ie: Eddie Murphy, David Spade, Val Kilmer, Tara Reid, Lauren Graham, Fran drescher and Chris tucker.

Whether she deserved them or not, it's unfair to hold it against an actor or actress for winning an Oscar. It's the Academy that votes for who wins. And if some people don't like that HS happened to win 2 Oscars in a short time, blame the Academy's voters, not her.

While I absolutely believe that Hillary Swank deserved both of her oscars (her work in Boys Don't Cry is so real and so haunting I can't even watch that film again, and I personally think that Hillary as Brandon Teena is some of the best acting of _all time),_ I also absolutely think Annette Benning deserved an oscar for American Beauty. That was a real, full, well fleshed out, CRAZY and weird character who was portrayed very believably. Even in the extreme moments like the crying scene, the cheating scenes, the flirting with her own husband scenes, the overbearing bitch mother scenes... she was perfectly human and realistic, even sympathetic. That could not have been easy to do as an actress, to keep it out of the uncanny and hammy area with a character like her, and I do think she at least gave an oscar-_worthy_ performance, even if it ended up going to somebody else who also did a fantastic job. I think in any other year, Annette Benning WOULD have won for that role. It really was outstanding. I don't envy academy judges in years like that, when they have to make decisions that difficult. I wouldn't have been able to choose, personally.

[@naomioyler]

Hilary Swank's performance in Iron Jawed Angels was Oscar worthy as well. That is one of my favorite movies. As more women step into executive roles in Hollywood, I believe that movie will earn greater recognition.

I love her! I think she gave a great performance in Amelia, but the movie wasn't so great. She gives it her all in movies, and I really appreciate that. --Unfortunately, there is a movie industry that tends to place profit over story (my response to what was said in this video). The movie industry is a business, and making money becomes their first priority.

They do not want performers they want dolls who have some talent but will spread their legs and do whatever is presented to them.

Morgen Vade That's true. Actresses have to be young and sexy. You reminded me of this article I read about young actresses, who are always given an older man as her love interests--bleh!!!

[@pvtrichter88]

those missing eyebrows were clearly her downfall for that movie !!

[@Crookedlystrait]

yes I agree that she was great in Amelia, but the film was mediocre. she was also great in Conviction , which came out the following year. (bonus, Sam Rockwell plays her brother in that film). I think she's always great, just sometimes the movies don't measure up to her talent. The last thing I saw that she was in was The Homesman; I think that was last year. looked like a decent movie but I doubt anyone saw it. I have to check it out some time. I can't wait for that Starz project; sounds great and lots of talented people attached.

She did amazing as Amelia Earhart! She captured her essence so well and she has the look and body for it. She's an amazing actor because she fully becomes the character and taps into the emotion needed. It's all about finding roles that allow her to showcase that raw emotion.

She's always been one of my favorites.

Freedom Writers is not a 'mediocre film'. It is an amazing story.

[@abdulhadiabdullatif6518]

I just saw Freedom Writers today only to realised it was released in 2007. That was a very touching movie coz my eyes were moist at the end. Hilary was a joy to watch. Such a wonderful actress.

Winning an Oscar too early in a career can mean unemployment. Just ask Mira Sorvino.

[@numunopat5883]

Did she get that for Romy and Michelle right?😂

[@billanthony7896]

Funny you should mention Sorvino, because Joan Allen should have won that year for her portrayal of Pat Nixon in Oliver Stone's film, "Nixon." Any actress that could make Pat Nixon appear in any way sexy, as Allen managed to do, deserved the Academy Award hands down!

also TATUM o'NEIL !!

[@NavySharkz]

That is crazy. By that logic maybe Annette Benning should be glad that she hasn't won one yet, it keeps her working.

[@pvtrichter88]

NavySharkz there are scores of character actors who never get nominated much less win that anatomical lifeless statue and continue to find work until they retire !!
