Top 10 Incredible Frances McDormand Performances

[@jaspersmommy1347]

McDormand is one of the few actors who will draw me to any movie they are in, whether I know anything about the plot or not.

[@brendaschouten-beckett6448]

Mandu mika me too that's why I am watching this. Can't believe there are some I haven't seen yet.

[@leobergmiller873]

Her performance in Fargo is more iconic but I think her performance in Three Billboards is more demanding, complex, and emotional.

[@anthonyyusef5897]

I probably agree with this, both were deserving of an Oscar. Glad the Academy got it right.

[@angelacarleton9575]

The Three Boards was an outstanding performance by Frances McDormand.

[@ruly8153]

@@angelacarleton9575 Wow somebody repeating what everyone else said in a simplified way.. 🤔

[@handebarlas6248]

@@anthonyyusef5897 Hmm I don't agree about Fargo. Please read what I said in the comments section. Stay safe.

[@alisaidali8146]

Nomadland is also best than fargo

[@blackguyofthesouth2161]

And now she's a 3 time Oscar winning Actress + 1 for Best Picture

[@karllieck9064]

She has surpassed Meryl Streep with 3 Best Actress Oscars.

[@syedmazharhasan6803]

The movie Fargo was so bloody, yet she manages to be such a sweetheart. She even interrogates like she is chatting with her pals. I absolutely recommend that movie.

[@brendaschouten-beckett6448]

Syed Mazhar Hasan Fargo is my all time fave.

[@batgurrl]

Syed Mazhar Hasan he was funny looking in what way??

[@scottdavidson526]

Fargo is a classic. The whole cast is great, but Frances McDormand really shines.

[@scottdavidson526]

@@batgurrl 😀😃

[@wadegamache485]

She was clearly amazing in Fargo and Three Billboards just showed a new generation how incredible she is. My favourite actor by far

[@josephinemateo2553]

I will watch any movie with Frances McDormand in it. She’s that amazing as an actor.

[@laustcawz2089]

See her in "Short Cuts". Massive, all-star cast also includes: Jennifer Jason Leigh Jack Lemmon Julianne Moore Robert Downey, Jr. Lily Tomlin Tim Robbins Andie MacDowell Fred Ward Lori Singer Peter Gallagher ...& a cameo by Alex Trebek.

[@mckavitt13]

I don’t find the word actress offensive (I am a woman & a feminist). In fact, I find it classic, whereas I find actor for a woman stubbornly functional.

[@whysoserious6389]

Frances is so freakin' talented, I think she deserves more recognition (yes, I know that she has 2 oscars, but still...)

[@wiinterflowers95]

Hells yeah she is and I haven't seen Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri! Meryl Streep has had ENOUGH time in the sun!

[@TheSuperMegamix]

Lol, Frances deserves an Oscar for every damn movie she's in

[@gabgabatz]

Make that 3 oscars. She's the GOAT.

[@rickardkaufman3988]

@@gabgabatz She also won for Best Picture so make that 4.

[@jayweh]

I feel like "more recognition" pushes people into worse movies, e. g. the dc marvel stuff. please, don't ever put on a cape and spanx. I love you just the way you are, ms. mcdormand!

[@Ignatius1972]

I love her in Fargo, but nothings surpasses her Olive Kitteridge performance. It's so freaking complex and full of emotional ups and downs, almost hysterical and catatonic, bitter ironic and pure melancholic. All at the same time. A genius masterpiece acting

[@anthonyyusef5897]

Fargo is the performance that will not be forgotten. We the audience have a tendency to latch on to the latest thing and wax poetically about it. She clearly was outstanding in Three Billboards but don't forget she was flawless in Fargo. She devoured every scene she was in effortlessly.

[@fatmazohraben6799]

Her acting in Olive kitteridge was great ❤❤I'll watch more of her movies

[@angelacarleton9575]

I am constantly shocked how many great performances Frances McDermott has done throughout the years and should have gotten the Oscars so many times after being nominated over 5 times. So happy she won for "Fargo" and "Three Billboards" where she was hysterically funny being that character which was sad, funny, and deeply moving. Her incredible range is amazing I hope to see more performances by this versatile actress that does it all!

[@RainWHW]

Just watched Nomadland. Blown away..again

[@jskuddy]

Her performance in Burn After Reading is incredible, moving, and utterly human.

[@kellyalves756]

Josh Skudlarek That was a crazy movie. And yeah, she blew me away.

[@batgurrl]

Josh Skudlarek funny as hell too! The best part was how the CIA gave her the money for her plastic surgeries in the last scene

[@yvie914]

Fargo and Three billboards were amazing performances but I agree with the other comments, the level of emotions she goes through in three billboards was by far the most outstanding of them all! Shes incredible

[@sallyclay1974]

She is fantastic! Wow! Every time I see her act, Im mesmerized.

[@patrick4324]

She is an absolute genius in acting!!! My 1st movie I ever seen her in was Fargo and I was completely hooked she was the movie...

[@Weareight]

Watched 3 Billboards and cried... I never cry at movies. Her performance was moving.

[@porcelynne2283]

One of my actresses of all time. I could watch her forever

[@KayleeCee]

She is such a talented actress and just a beautiful person, inside and out.

[@magickbaz8518]

AAAAAND today she got her third best actress oscar 👏👏👏

[@mckavitt13]

Thanks so much for this! I only knew two of her films. Wow!

[@TS-rd7oy]

She was great in Laurel Canyon. She is great in everything she does.

[@tamara8908]

Correct

[@MannyG32968]

Updated: 1. "Nomadland". Period.

[@chelseacanales8763]

All I can say is that she is an amazing actress, and although she not only won an Oscar in Fargo adding that the movie was great, but she was phenomenal in her latest movie Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri; frankly I am happy she won another Oscar

[@dgrl1]

I am watching and rewatching all of her films!

[@ELENIKARASAVVIDOU]

she is LEGEND!

[@claudiacoy3294]

Even her tiny roll in Wonder Boys was fantastic. Anything she does is just great!

[@dearyvettetn4489]

Loved Fargo but Mrs. Pettigrew was the Mc Dormand movie that I keep coming back to when I’m doing movie reruns. I’m not a romcom kinda girl but I couldn’t look away from her performance with Amy Adams. Great little movie!

[@sherrihaight2724]

Mrs pettigrew is a lovely film not fully expressed here. She brings the character to life with all the subtleties and you can read the novel prose in her thoughts behind her. And her accent is amazing!

[@broadwaymike92]

Grew up with Francess' performance as "Miss Clavel" in the live action Madeline. True motherly figure rendition of the character.

[@roselw2239]

I love all movies she is in, her performances are the best👍

[@jimmyneutron4329]

One of those very few cases of actors that made it in Hollywood purely based on real talent and acting chops

[@shubhamgoel1057]

Her performance in Three Billboards outside ebbing Missouri is better than her performance in Fargo 😐😐😐

[@jaspersmommy1347]

It is kind of a toss-up since both are incredible. I think "Fargo" was first because Marge is a bit more approachable for movie goers.

[@galacticreggie]

She's like Tom Hanks. She raises the status of whatever movie she is in.

[@jdtv50]

Never heard of her

[@apoorvasolanki8124]

We also need another 10 performance

[@elizabethtrainer9732]

Francis McDormand is a stand alone actress who does not need to be propped up by her fellow male actor's, she didn't learn from Clooney or anyone else, THEY learned from her!

[@willytompkins8115]

She is one of my top 5 favorite actors/actresses. Maybe tied with 1st place with Heath Ledger as the joker...Javier Bardem in any role...

[@ReaTexas]

Gotta love her!

[@markjackson6431]

Three Billboard is amazing

[@lesleyhubble2976]

One of those actresses who has taken years to come to the front, she’s got better with age

[@laustcawz2089]

Good to see "Short Cuts" at least getting a mention, but for those who've never seen it (or even heard of it), it's way more epic than you might think. Besides McDormand & Peter Gallagher (shown in the clip), the massive all-star cast includes Robert Downey, Jr., Lily Tomlin, Tim Robbins, Julianne Moore, Jack Lemmon, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Buck Henry, Andie MacDowell & Tom Waits, among others. It's directed & co-adapted by Robert Altman ("M*A*S*H", "Nashville", "The Player") from the writings of Raymond Carver.

[@ejm6460]

"North County" performance more than deserves to be in the top 10 as opposed to some others

[@alanFconrad]

Frances is a rare talent

[@jonlogan8153]

I've loved her since Blood Simple, but Marge is one for actors playbooks
