Saoirse Ronan and the Elusive Oscar | Why She's Never Won

[@arontamas5639]

Honestly acknowledging her work from such a young age is one of the fairest thing the Academy has ever done.

[@reniasva]

I totally agree. "Overdue" is one thing, but age means nothing. She's a great actress and has given some oscar-worthy performances.

[@syria0110]

Yeah, I saw a few people bringing up her age and how she's not overdue, but Jodie Foster had two Academy Awards by the age of 29 and three years apart.

[@reniasva]

@@syria0110 We don't even mention Anna Paquin or Tatum O'Neill......

[@syria0110]

​​​@@reniasvaOh, definitely. I think it's because there's not that many Academy Award winners that were under 18 besides them and Patty Duke for The Miracle Worker. There's been nominations here and there, but I think the reason more kids/teens haven't won depends on how competitive the year they were nominated in.

[@reniasva]

@@syria0110 True. And the academy tends to award actors with a more colourful background. I, on the other hand, think, that every single performance should count. And sometimes it does. In the case of Saoirse Ronan I think she gave some performances that WERE already worth an oscar, particularly when you look at the competition. Would I give it to Glenn Close if she and Saoirse were both nominated? Absolutely. But that doesn't take away anything from her her really strong performances. Age shouldn't be a factor. The performance should be.

[@rafaelcruz9973]

She always gives Oscar-worthy performances, but I feel like I've yet to see that ONE career-defining performance that would make her a frontrunner to win like a Natalie Portman in Black Swan. I hope she gets that some day

[@jesusangelespinosasalgado9430]

I agree in every aspect. She's having the Amy Adams thing... outstanding in everything she does but there's something missing in their roles; kind of the "Risk" factor... My favorite Amy Adams Oscar performance till this day is still Junebug and with Saoirse is Little Women but yeah, actors like them can actually risk way more with their choices. But of course IS up to their taste.

[@CansuCancan9]

I was thinking the exact same thing! That movie and role WILL come to her one day!

[@gidgitvonlarue9972]

You are not insane at all - an amazing performance is an amazing performance - whether 19 or 90. Saoirse has done some TRULY amazing award winning performances through her life so far.

[@Erasureeraser]

She faced nurmeous tough competition every time she was nominated. I hope one day she win at least once in her career

[@arontamas5639]

her closest to possibly win was for Ladybird. At least she won GG for that but yes Tilda Swinton was already an acting icon at the time she was nominated, Brie Larson's The Room performance was so magnificent like the movie itself although I would have been more than fine if Saoirse would have won for Brooklyn, that movie is still wonderful..... I loved her take on role of Jo in Little women, the '94 version was always close to my heart with Winona so I was pretty happy as I knew Saoirse would play that role :)

[@seankoontz4235]

@arontamas5639 She was running in third, behind McDormand and Sally Hawkins. Probably the runner-up for Brooklyn though

[@arontamas5639]

@@seankoontz4235 I don't know I just realized that Margot was also nominated that year for I, Tonya which was sorry not sorry way more Oscar worthy than her performance in Ladybird. And I guess it's not even a subjective opinion but the cold truth.

[@tonyg76]

@@arontamas5639 Not the cold truth. I, Tonya was not that great. Ladybird was much better.

[@jackbennersmoviereviews]

Saoirse Ronan is a very talented and terrific actress with great range in each of her performances. Even if she’s almost 30 and with 4 Oscar nominations, I believe her chances at winning an Oscar will happen at the right time.

[@doncasto8520]

I wouldn't say she's "overdue" because she had some tough competition. But certainly she's not too young to get an Oscar. She is an amazing actress and it's really only amount of time before she stuns the competition and wins.

[@madinp1177]

She is an astoundingly talented actress and fully deserving of all the praise that she has received thus far in her career. I look forward to seeing her career unfold further. I just hate that the Oscars have apparently become all about rewarding who is "due" in their career, rather than being based on the strength of the individual performance. I also hate that the biopics have such a stranglehold on the acting categories. I had definitely had my fingers crossed for Saoirse in 2019/2020 with Little Women and was disappointed but not surprised when Zellweger won (as much as I enjoy her in other things) but I would say that she was outperformed by Frances MCDormand and Brie Larson on her previous leading nominations. I haven't seen Michael Clayton or I'm not there so I can't judge her loss for BSA in 2007/2008. Having said that, her performance in Atonement truly was phenomenal!

[@JJ_Stark]

It’s such a joy when you upload new Elusive Oscar videos. I really love this series. They’re insightful and entertaining. Any chance you can make an episode which features Kiera Knightley and Carey Mulligan? ❤

[@gidgitvonlarue9972]

I LOVE LOVE The Lovely Bones. It really stays with you - so haunting, terrifying, charming. The score is amazing and Jackson hit it out of the park with this as well as Heavenly Creatures - and lately although a documentary - They Shall Not Grow Old.

[@BFA100]

Little Women because she upped her game yet again anchoring an ensemble cast that also had Meryl Streep and Laura Dern and according to Wikipedia and IMDB Ronan was born on April 12, 1994. June Allyson also starred in another film version of Little Women.

[@richkee2024]

It's striking that none of her nominations since Atonement have been for biopics or for tragic issues-driven dramas, which are often the keys to victory. These films are all excellent, but they're not as emotionally taxing as the films we usually see win Best Actress. None of this is meant to slate anybody, I'm just saying it's impressive that she's been able to stand among lofty company for roles which don't feel like Oscar Bait. A less esteemed actress of her age probably would have gone unnominated for Brooklyn, Lady Bird or Little Women. They're not the easiest roles to earn presitge for. She's just that good, and that hard to ignore.

[@roycerowland2699]

I think that it is very impressive that she has 4 Oscar nominations before turning 30. I think that she will win an Oscar one day . I think that she should be in consideration for The Lovely Bones for best actress.

[@SoulKnightKing]

She been had 4 since she was 25 lol

[@JCGC1129]

One of your best videos yet! She is a phenomenal actress, and she should have, at least, one Oscar by now. My favorite performance is “Brooklyn”.

[@basicosdemoda7933]

I adore that movie, and her performance is truly incredible!

[@bev9708]

Gosh I think those comments actually also reflect the thinking of many Academy voters too, that Oscars can sometimes be more about recognizing an esteemed body of work rather than specific performances, but that’s what honorary Oscars should be for!! Certainly all 4 of her nominations were Oscar worthy and 🤞🏻🤞🏻plenty more worthy roles will quickly come her way!!

[@TheLeastExpected23]

If she can deliver another top notch performance in Blitz, that elusive Oscar will definitely be within her reach!

[@josephjasem7926]

13 years old and performed on the same level of the legendary Vanessa Redgrave😮. I was hooked since.

[@bentorres4620]

She will get one, if not several. She's a phenomenal actress...and my goodness what a beautiful face!

[@jackjohnson5427]

Sally Hawkins next!

[@jackjohnson5427]

A very very insanely good actress whose performance in Maudie, the shape of water(2nd nom), happy go lucky( won golden globe and snubbed), blue jasmine( 1st nom), are all brilliant, plus paddington franchise, but she’s not always in public eyes and rarely does campaign runs due to health issues and personality, so I don’t see her wining in the near future , (she does have wonka coming out this year but a small role )

[@gidgitvonlarue9972]

YES YES YES

[@bentorres4620]

Agreed, I love Sally Hawkins

[@barbiquearea]

Her performance in Hannah should have gotten her nominated. I can't imagine the hell she must have put herself through, undergoing combat training to get prepared for the action scenes, while also bringing a lot of depth to her character as a child soldier and the emotional turmoil she went through. Such an underrated film, made all the better Saoirse Ronan's excellent performance.

[@hadbetterdays]

She and Joe Wright work very we together.

[@kmh4076]

Hannah was the first movie I saw Saoirse and she hooked me all the way

[@stevenstevenson5303]

She's not overdue but I love her and her performances so I like the elusive video. I can't wait until she eventually wins. I remember being disappointed she wasn't nominated for The Lovely Bones.

[@hadbetterdays]

Look, I'm not saying that Brie didn't deserve the Awards for Room, but no one focuses on the fact that Brie shared the film with the actor playing her son, while Saoirse had Brooklyn on her shoulders alone.

[@dgdanne]

I will say it for you. You are welcome. Larson is a supporting character in Room. Tremblay is the real star there.

[@poett8875]

⁠@@dgdanneshe’s not supporting. She was a co-lead. But it baffles me how Tremblay was campaigned for supporting actor when he had more screen time than she did

[@cloudsinmycoffeeeee]

I think what she needs that kind of role that you wouldnt imagine anyone playing that role but her.

[@pophector]

Excellent retrospective on one of the finest actors to emerge in the last 15 years. She has delivered astounding performances in Atonement, Brooklyn, Lady Bird, Mary Queen Of Scots, Little Women, and Ammonite (plus I did really did enjoy her in See How They Run as well). Like you said, with the reception of Foe, she's not making it into the best actress race next year but I do see her eventually winning for a biopic performance (like it took Meryl 29 years to win another Oscar with a biopic performance) and she still has plenty of time to win an Oscar. She could even do so in a Geraldine Page sort of way by Oscar nomination number 8. Next request: Carey Mulligan since Maestro is coming out next month in theaters (and I just saw it at the New York Film Festival 2 days ago and let me tell you, she is INCREDIBLE. She shows the full range of her talents going toe to toe with Cooper and has heartbreaking scenes in the end. She is definitely getting nominated). Overall: another fantastic video, Brian! Thank you!

[@nitsugazemag]

Let’s not forget that Jodie Foster won 2 academy awards in lead by the age of 30 and the same for Hilary Swank who only won when nominated those two times. I think it’s wrong to judge an actor based on their age rather than merit. I really do hope she wins soon.

[@JordanjamesX]

Yes but Foster and Swank both Americans and Saorise Ronan is Irish. Academy awards an American show so Americans always favor their own.

[@nitsugazemag]

@ true, but many UK actors and films fair far better than Americans.

[@JaceMD]

Just like my other sentimental favorites, Glenn Close and Amy Adams, Saoirse Ronan is talented and phenomenal. As long as she keeps working on the right projects, I know she'll definitely have her own sweet Oscar victory.

[@patrarus6097]

Thanks, Brian. I really liked her performance in "Brooklyn."

[@HathiFan]

One of my favourite actresses. You are right, 4 nominations under the age of 30 deserve a video like this. There are not many people who got 4 nominations under 30 (there are, but not many). And she just keeps being such a relatable celebrity, I just love her soo much... Her accents are perfect, her roles are so well chosen, I just want her to be successful... In any way, awards, critically or box office 😄

[@barry4649]

Mad to think she’s still only 29, her winning one really seems like a matter of when not if

[@karenpaolalopes9524]

Saoirse is definitely one of my favorite actresses. I'm sad she hasn't won an Oscar yet, but I believe her career will continue to give us great performances and she will eventually be celebrated by the Academy.

[@Stefarooh]

Such a gifted and talented actress. Absolutely adore her. I will watch anything she stars in. She is definitely the best actress of her generation. There is no disputing that! Lets just hope and prey she doesn't follow a Glen Close or Amy Adams trajectory.

[@shawncarter5434]

Unpopular opinion but I think Saorise should have won an Oscar for Atonement

[@RichYouTube]

Good choice. The haters don’t know, youth is not a disqualification from worth.

[@triggerfish9967]

I had no idea how long she's been in the industry & how CONSISTENTLY GOOD she has been in almost every performance she has done since her debut. I think a lot of people dismisses her for an Oscar sighting her being "too young" because she's only been more commercial in recent years & she does come off as a very young person what with her more well-known roles playing teenagers. You know who really warrants winning an Oscar even though she's young? DAKOTA FANNING! NOT A SINGLE OSCAR NOMINATION.

[@mhawang8204]

Dakota Fanning was the most talented child actor I'd ever seen, but I think her roles are too "commercial" and not diverse enough to be award contenders. Such a shame.

[@barbiquearea]

@@mhawang8204 Also for nearly a decade now, she seems to have stepped away from acting and focused on other things like going to university. She still acts every now and then but ever since she grew out of her child actor phase, she hasn't been nearly as prominent. Her sister on the other hand has been a lot more dedicated to acting and has had an upwards trajectory, especially in the last few years.

[@dexterarisgado6133]

I hope and I know that someday she will get her Oscar, I mean she's Saoirse Ronan?? Totally excited for Foe.

[@mhawang8204]

Foe is getting really bad reviews. Sigh... I hope she gets better roles/projects soon.

[@barbiquearea]

​@@mhawang8204 Don't worry, she's staring in the upcoming WWII film, “Blitz”, that's being directed by Academy Award winner Steve McQueen next year.

[@kellydg471]

She is getting rave reviews for "The Outrun". This could be the year!

[@deborahdemanno471]

“Brooklyn”, and “Lady Bird”

[@niccage6375]

I hope she can win with a role using her natural irish accent

[@TheRishijoesanu]

She is the most talented actor of our generation

[@lizd.8655]

I had the feeling you were going to compare her to Winona Ryder! Let's hope that Oscar win does come sooner rather than later. Thank you for mentioning Jennifer Lawrence and Bree Larson, SR is definitely overdue when compared to them!

[@OmarTafur75]

No one can be as talented, hot, pretty, and lovely as Saoirse 🥰! Her not being in the Barbie movie was such a missed opportunity

[@SallyNigel]

That was what Im thinking last year until I met Jodie Comer hhahah!!!!

[@wesleywalker3789]

I love her! She's an amazing actress with an impressive career for someone so young. Her performance in The Lovely Bones is still one of my personal favorites. Very under recognized performance.

[@Jose-sx4ql]

Saoirse should've taken that 2018 Oscar to this day I'm baffled as to how she didn't win.

[@samgreen1241]

tom holland, cameron diaz, kiera knightley, anna kendrick, blake lively, judy greer, zac efron, zoey deutch, troian bellisario, judy davis... so many ideas for your next one!

[@Crookedlystrait]

Judy Davis and maybe Kiera Knightley. Everyone else, no.

[@daveinprogress3]

Nice advocacy and overview, Brian. I initially was also a bit skeptical about Saoirse being the subject of this. I guess when I consider her nominations, someone else had a better narrative, although I would have preferred Ronan over Larson. Perhaps it is the age bias, which as you point out didn't hurt Jennifer Lawrence or Brie Larson. I guess when it's you time, it's your time - except when its not - and AMPAS gives you an Honorary! When I think of overdue actresses I think of Annette Bening, Judy Davis, Laura Linney, Glenn Close, Michelle Pfeiffer and Amy Adams. But Saoirse is a tremendous talent and I hope she gets the 'right' vehicle in the 'right' year and it's hers!

[@SamBryans128]

I love her so much. Out of all her nominations I would've given it to her for Brooklyn. Brie was great but Saoirse's role was so much more personal for me. The Little Women year I would've actually given it to Cynthia Erivo, and the Lady Bird year I would've gone with Margot Robbie (however I would've picked Metcalfe over Janney). The Atonement year, I have not seen all the performances so I don't feel fair saying who I would've given it to. Holding out for Blitz!

[@tuckerplum8085]

I loved "Brooklyn" so much. (We all know she never stood a chance for it, but) I loved "Atonement" so much. (Big fan of James McAvoy, too.) I didn't love "Ladybird," but Laurie Metcalf was brilliant. I wish she would appear in more movies. I'm a huge fan of Wes Anderson's movies, but Saoirse Ronan's screen time in those is so limited. I have no doubt that she will get her Oscar. She's excellent.

[@tonyg76]

The Host so underrated. One of my all time favorites.

[@barbiquearea]

Ammonite looked like it had awards potential but didn't get any buzz, and just came and went without any fanfare. To be fair, it was released during a global lockdown, which certainly didn't help matters. But I imagine had it come out any other year, it might have given both Saoirse and her costar Kate Winslet a chance at that year's Oscars.

[@pepperminttree]

I hate the whole age thing, if someone is deserving, they are deserving!

[@percyweasley9301]

Brooklyn is one of the greatest movies and performances...

[@Davyd_UA]

Would you able to make the kind of video about Laura Linney? She's three time Academy nominee.

[@calvinkhumalo9780]

Saoirse Ronan, Zendaya, and Florence Pugh are probably the young actresses whose careers I'm most excited to follow. It's crazy that she's just a few years older than me and already on her 4th nomination. It's also wild that she, Jennifer Lawrence, and Brie Larson were once upon a time nominated at the same time.

[@barbiquearea]

I would also put Anya Taylor Joy, Kathryn Dever and Elle Fanning among them as young up and coming actresses to watch out for because all of them have great potential.

[@deusexmachina9776]

Zendaya is not a strong actress, her face in that black and white film - when she had emote sadness - were cartoonish

[@willis1996]

Truly my favorite actress of all time. I want that Oscar for her!

[@SaifJ123]

I have been waiting for this 😍 maybe Willem Dafoe in the future ❤

[@pophector]

It's interesting, with Oppenheimer & Poor Things, I think Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo, and Willem Dafoe would all be great candidates for the Elusive Oscar video this year.

[@kellybice360]

I loved her in “The Lovely Bones,” she was so sweet in that role… It was probably Peter Jackson and his “magic,” but it is deep performance. It is a horrific story, but it is beautifully told.

[@perryjones7771]

Meryl Streep Junior. I soooooo need her and Anya Taylor-Joy to do a movie or TV Series together. And you are NOT INSANE FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO. She’s so young but so talented. Her Oscar is coming but I do think that she’s going to get a supporting actress one first and then later down the line receive an best actress award. As long as Saoirse, Jodie, Jessie, Anya, and Florence win Oscars in the next few years then I’m good. They are just too good not to win anything and not to work together Gen Z’s acting Greats I tell you! They don’t play when they get in front of that camera they act the HOUSE DOWN. And throw in Mr Tom Holland they need a sitcom it just seems right. Orrrr Saoirse and Winona??? They could have given her an Oscar for “Little Women”. But I really want her to win her Oscar for another movie with the Great Laurie Metcalf I would love to see them both sweep the awards season together. I just don’t want Laurie to go without an Oscar she deserves one and so does Ronan.

[@FantasticBeasts2024]

She is overdue. Along with Amy Adams, Glenn Close, and Michelle Williams

[@nathblanca6280]

Hope she'll win!

[@Mastaace]

I love her and really need to watch more of her stuff.... But I remember really enjoying Hanna & The Way Back when those movies came out. My real question is will she be full Streep-level in 20 years.

[@raymondtitano3819]

"Captivating in 'Room'"? Nice wordplay there.

[@jansmith286]

It's touching that you still consider the actors who win Oscars to have put in the best acting performance that year. I have ceased to follow these awards as the performances I enjoy the most rarely win. Saoirse Ronan is a delight to watch as an actress. I haven't seen all her films but certainly all the major ones. I'll watch a film because she's in it. And whilst I admire Margo Robbie, Jennifer Lawrence and others I'd much rather watch Saoirse act than them. Still, I'm used to being out of step with the mainstream. I hope she continues her work for many more years.

[@The_onset_tutor]

Just give her the frickin Oscar already.

[@user-if4ux9io8q]

She is fantastic

[@CapricornBG]

Ronan should've won the Oscar for Lady Bird. Unfortunately, the Academy awarded rather one-note Frances that year.

[@zezooo1997]

Hands down my favorite performance of hers is Brooklyn! I was rooting for un upset that year, but it didn’t happen! We kinda knew Brie was the sweeper

[@johnyzero2000]

Loved The Lovely Bones wonderful film.

[@michaelcain9324]

Good video. Loved Hanna.

[@tonyg76]

I agree, you are not insane. She is on my list with Michelle Williams, Carey Mulligan and Amy Adams as overdue for an Oscar.

[@singstreetcar5881]

Atonement is such a great film. The ending is so shocking. The lonely bones is a great film also. I don't understand why the film bombed at the box office. I didn't like lady bird

[@jacobskinner3522]

Sometimes it seems like people lose simply because they haven’t won before. I know that sounds odd, but it’s as if voters ask themselves “is THIS the one we want to give it to them for?” and become more and more reluctant to break the streak. With Saoirse, it isn’t as if she snuck in as the #5 for any of her nominations. She’s easily top 3 with all of them and in a couple cases better than the winner.

[@andrewspalding1188]

You're not insane for doing this one, an Oscar can be elusive regardless of age!

Dude I am 100% on the same page as you with her.

[@susanstorm7910]

That’s my favorite actress 😊😊😊

[@victorhuizar4713]

She should have swept for Brooklyn. I loved Brie Larson in Room, but that always came off as a supporting performance to Jacob Tramblay’s leading performance in that movie. I would have been a solid year if Saoirse won Leading And Larson Supporting.

[@poett8875]

Brie Larson had way too much screen time for supporting. She was definitely a co lead to Tremblay.

[@NormaLilia24]

She deserved an Oscar since Atonement

[@raulgama2579]

She shouldve won for Brooklyn, her best só far, couldve won over René too, but behind Scarjo

[@historyofnetworktv]

Whether you like it or not, Saoirse has been in some of the more memorable movies of the of the 00's and early 2010s. Her Oscar is warranted.

[@donna25871]

I have a soft spot for On Chesil Beach and thought she was brilliant.

[@aaronjanlistanco]

Mary Queen Of Scots should nominate Saoirse Ronan (Best Actress) & Margot Robbie (Supporting Actress).. i know the film was kinda messy but come on their acting for Ronan & Robbie and Ammonite was forgotten immediately that time

[@timothypolanco8622]

You are a better man than me Brian, because I can not understand the doubters. I mean at what age is acceptable for actors/actresses to start winning Oscars !?!?!? It's ridiculous, I can make cases that certain actors/actresses should've got nominations for performances they gave early in their careers. Point example Wil Wheaton in stand by me, was that not the best performance of his career ?? Or Kirsten Dunst in the movie interview with a vampire. And as for Saoirse Ronan I can make the case that she will be the Meryl Streep of my generation. She just need to make another film that can tap into that mainstream audience the same way lady bird did.

[@poett8875]

Nobody is doubting her. Her winning an Oscar is a matter of “when” not “if.” But to say that she’s overdue when she’s literally only 29 is ridiculous. She has decades to win. You can’t say the same for other talented actresses that haven’t won yet.

[@arde29]

Sassy Brian is my favorite Brian😂😂

[@Christoph52]

Every movie this woman is in is better for her. Even movies that may have been meh, were elevated by her performance

[@vudujl83]

100% agree that she's overdue, but truly believe she'll get one at some point...recall that it took six nominations before Kate Winslet finally won, and Kate had four nominations before she reached the age of 30 as well; don't know what will happen with Saoirse this year, but maybe the historical drama with Steve McQueen will be the one

[@darrensmith4932]

Jodie Foster and Hilary Swank had two Oscar’s each by 30 so , no she’s not too young and definitely should have an Oscar by now for Brooklyn. She wasn’t going to beat Frances or Renee and her Atonement nomination was the best she could hope for.

[@mitsukai7192]

Saoirse Ronan and I are both 29. She has four Adademy Award nominations and I think to myself, what am I doing with my life... 😂 In all seriousness, love her.

[@aaronjanlistanco]

I think/believe Saoirse Ronan might get another nomination maybe next year for The Outrun or Blitz

[@Rankutubuki88]

Her competitors in the category are way better, but no one can deny that her performance is always topnotch. Besides she is young, there is so much length years for her ahead. So people needs to chill out.

[@emsantos0283]

Saoirse is one of my favorite actors. She reminds me of a younger Kate Winslet. I live every movie she has been. She shouldve won for Brooklyn but Brie Larson killed her role. She was my favorite part of the newest Little Women movie even though the 1994 version is my favorite adaptation of the novel. Hope she'll win one day soon❤

[@gerardocasango3860]

She deserves better

[@leightonbate7516]

She has shown young or older she delivers,I'd have given her the award for Brooklyn although 3 of the other ladies nominated are worthy of a win esp Rampling,I have Emma Stone wining in 2017 for Battle of the Sexes her best ever performance,I am a Tilda voter in 2007 with Ronan as a close runner up,Little Women is any version is not a film that clicks with me and so I left her off my own Top 5,The Lovely Bones film lets her down in 2009,you're not mad that you think she's overdue.
