tom hanks won 2 Oscars 2 years in a row! wtf?
Hollywood and society are both harder on women than men, especially women not in their 20's anymore. I'm sort of upset with the tone of this clip. Particularly insensitive to be narrated by a man. And also, Freedom Writer's wasn't a mediocre movie, folks just weren't ready to give an award to a movie about Black people trudging out of the trenches a becoming successful.
she is beautiful woman
you know what I say God bless her because she is truly making a mark in her life helping abandoned children and abandoned animals to find strength in one another again and that's the most beautiful thing you could do is help children and animals you know who have been abandoned in your life and make you feel like no hope you know it's a beautiful thing to care for children animals God bless her I hope she keeps succeeding in that area and a lot of people help her because she's helping God's angels
Did you seriously not mention Insomnia?
I still put it in her ass
Most of these 'reasons' make no sense whatsoever.
Love her! Miss movies with Hillary.
Hilary Swank won those awards! She will probably win more, she's a good actress and pretty, and too nice I think. Hollywood can be a hunger pack of lions,,,, really. I would love get some comedy out of her.
Hollywood's dead.
She accepted roles that weren't in her natural wheelhouse. She excels in roles where women are in a masculine world.
Okay what about Jennifer Lawrence.. She got more Oscars than Leo that's an issue lol
But is she backs hillary for anything she deserves to work to live
She is a perfect ten aswell
She seems amazing person to me ❤️ Once you have two oscars you can archive something else ❤️❤️❤️ Why you would want more anyway? 😉
I like her very much….
She is best out of it with all the shit thats coming out now, what a shit hole!
P.S. I Love You I thought was one of Hilary Swank's best. She was amazing in that movie. Hollywood shouldn't have given up on her. She's still got potential.
Here’s the reason plain and simple: She’s not pretty enough. Don’t get me wrong, she looks fine. And she is one of my favorite actresses. She won for two films where she gave beyond amazing performances. Like, better than Meryl performances. But the reason she’s not a main stay in Hollywood is bc she’s just not pretty enough. I personally like her look but she’s not conventionally pretty.
Many people brought up the fact that she looks like Jennifer Garner and Julia Roberts. Garner is gorgeous but has severe limitations on acting ability. I used to love her in Alias and when she played Elektra. I’ve seen a bunch of her other movies. But rewatching Alias, I see a lot of her limitations. She’s good but not that good. Not Lena Olin good (who played her mom). She played Elektra well, but the new actress for Elektra in the Netflix Daredevil series puts Garner’s performance to shame.
Now let’s look at Julia. Julia is what Hollywood would consider the best of both worlds. She is conventionally pretty (not as pretty as Garner IMO) but she’s also a stellar actress. Her best performance to me was in Charlie Wilson’s War (not many people saw this). She can act circles around Garner. Erin Brockovich was her Oscar win but her performance in that cannot touch either of Hillary’s performances. Julia owes a lot of her success to her looks. Although I must say, Julia was amazing in Closer, something Garner could never pull off.
she might make a good female vulcan in a star trek movie or tv show. She has the facial structure for it.
The question is, "Is she hot?" not "Would I do her?".
Really like her. Loved her in " The Gift " wonderful movie. Great cast.
i liked the amelia earhart movie…
She looks like William Defoe in drag
Deserved the win for Boys Don't Cry. There's no way in hell she was as good as Imelda Staunton in Vera Drake in 2004, and that's who should have won that year, and who would have won, had Eastwood not moved up the release date for Million Dollar Baby at the last moment, as it was to be released in February of 2005. Staunton had won all of the important critics awards, although to be fair, Swank tied with her for the NSOFC award. Also, it didn't hurt that Oscar felt it owed Eastwood, who had just been run over by Peter Jackson the year before when Mystic River was up for Oscars.
She's a really good actress and a relatively good person, that's probably why.
She Was Amazing In Freedom Writers Diary
because as these trannies age horrible. their male feature become more pronounced. the reconstructive surgeries are useless.
TRANSGENDER AGENDA. Trannifying the world one bite at a time.
Tje same will happen to Jennifer Lawrence
truly a devastating loss to the big screen but fcuk it, hollybored sucks without real talented actors/actresses like Hilary Swank.. wake the hell up hollywood!
Who here from the office?
I loved her characted in freedom writers that movie made me want kick my own ass for being a selfish bitch who thought my life was horrible when i actually have a good life cause I realiseed how tough life is for some people out there
Fuck Hollywood !
Her other roles weren't that good? Er… you forgot about Freedom Writers, which was a great film, and she was great in it.
Who cares about critics ?! FUCK ROTTEN TOMATOES
Her charity sounds amazing.
Damn well at least she’s dojng what she lives and I’m sure she had monayyyyy okayyy
Looper seems like haters
Hilary Skank
Hilary is a great actress and great person so dickhead shouldn't put negative shit on her
Boys Don't Cry is still a powerful and relevant film.
I feel badly for women actresses who have lost their careers
I would love ❤ to see more of her so considering that it's on Hollywood that we don't see more of her and Hollywood should let us the viewing audience have a say in who we see more of.
Love her
Because Hollywood is the ballsack of the Patriarchy.
Dude…you're full of shit.
Sooo transgender.
