Helena seems exactly the kind of a person who would have a psychic friend.

[@misschanandlerbong-mp]

She's giving me strong phoebe buffay vibes

[@kkandsims4612]

Oh yea

[@Amaranthyne]

@Ron Cash She was with Tim Burton for thirteen years-she is the psycho friend.

[@ttvrs1059]

You're just saying that 'cause she played Bellatrix 🤣

[@hotdogwater9060]

she really does, doesn’t she?

[@MarcioDAstrain]

I can't believe it Helena Bonham Carter never won an Oscar. She deserve it more than any actress of her generation.

[@johanvajse8410]

learning something today. I always thought she won for the Wings of the Dove. it is a pity she hasn't

[@batchint]

Marcio D'Astrain she probably got the oscar for the fright club ..but I'm always in admiration for since (dare I say)

[@macattack423]

She still could win an Oscar! Despite the academy’s favoritism of younger actresses, Helena continues to exhibit compelling performances and deserves recognition

[@g-shawnarrhmn1726]

Same with Johnny Depp.. really like them two

[@millennialfalcon8958]

She did a great job as the Queen Mother in The King's Speech.

[@c17sam90]

Only Helena Bonham Carter could say she talked to Princess Margaret and the British public would be like “yeah ok”

[@mackay5449]

Helena: "You don't believe in talking to dead people?" Olivia: "No" 😂😂😂😂 that was quite straight

oops! I heard it as "don't believe in THE talking dead people" which I thought was a fun way of referring to it.

Why has Helena Bonham Carter not won an Oscar???!!! She is such a talented actress. She’s a kooky, quirky and talented actress. Her and Olivia Colman are pure gold together.

[@aartadventure]

It's also brilliant how she is excited for it, listens in rapture, and then dismisses it entirely. Olivia is a true Queen in and out of character! 💅👑

[@kiva_kaze]

The way Helena and Olivia get along is heartwarming, its just like sisters (which they played) 😂😊

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

they appreciate each other, their quirk- e-ness. Love them.

[@mehrosejaved]

"I don't think it's necessarily necessary." Yup, I'm gonna be using that phrase.

[@bernig]

Chadwick: Is this before you got the part? Helena: I had been ASKED to play her. (No audition needed for an icon like Helena)

[@telectronix1368]

Implictly (via the medium's account of "what her spirit said" ), she was not the first person considered for the role.

[@telectronix1368]

@mysterychemistry Well, obviously.

[@telectronix1368]

@mysterychemistry I think she had it about right here: 'whether she was just very intuitive or whether there really was a spirit there'

[@da96103]

Probably Kate Winslet.

[@helenasoares3636]

His reaction was amazing 😂 he looked at her like "oh.. you're on THAT level"

[@yeahno4545]

I like how civil Olivia was about the whole not believing in things others do

[@nellielandes6696]

Well she is just smart. She doesn't have the pretention to say that she knows everything, she acknowledges the fact that there are things she doesn't understand and that people interpret differently :)

I believe Helena. A friend, who also has psychic abilities, helped me get in touch with a friend who committed suicide. It was so obviously him, and the reading was so unlike others I had seen her give. It made me instantly believe.
