'King Kong' beauty has many advantages to win the Oscar for best actress

Brie Larson is the number one candidate for the title of “Best Actress” this year for her role as a young mother locked in a room with her son for 7 years in the independent film “Room”.

Brie Larson(movie Room)

Brie Larson is currently the most promising candidate for the title of “Best Actress” at this year’s Oscars. She won the Golden Globe, Critic’s Choice and SAG for her role as Ma (Room). In the independent film that attracted attention last year, the beauty played the role of a young girl who was kidnapped, raped, and gave birth in a closed room for 7 years. In the conditions of captivity, being physically and mentally abused, Ma always found ways to protect and educate the child, so that Mark – the boy’s name – could still maintain his pure innocence.

This is a complex role, with many emotional levels. In the first half of the film, Brie Larson's character is torn between fear, anger, despair and love for the child. In the second half, she has to face psychological trauma, regret for her youth, anger at the world around her and the helplessness and disorientation of someone who has absolutely no idea what to do next. She came to Vietnam last week to film the blockbuster Kong: Skull Island, but on February 24, the actress returned to the US to attend the Oscars.

Saoirse Ronan(Brooklyn movie)

Brie Larson's strongest rival is Saoirse Ronan from the movie Brooklyn. The beauty born in 1994 was known for her role as Briony Tallis in the movie Atonement. She then continued her success with the role of Susie Salmon in The Lovely Bones. For many years, Saoirse Ronan has always been considered by critics as a promising young face of Hollywood. What she needs is a real breakthrough role to show her talent. Saoirse's last chance came through the role of Eilis Lacey in the movie Brooklyn.

Eilis Lacey is a young Irish woman who came to the promised land with the desire to change her life in the 1950s. Facing many difficulties and challenges, Eilis always maintained her optimism and gradually built a new life in a foreign land. Saoirse Ronan's deep blue eyes, youthful face and lovely appearance easily won the audience's sympathy. She really shined in the image of a girl with an innocent, honest nature but also very brave and resilient. In the context of the immigration issue being a hot topic in the world, Saoirse Ronan's role is very likely to be favored by the Academy.

Charlotte Rampling(movie 45 Years)

Born in 1946, Charlotte Rampling is known for European art films such as The Damned, Farewell, My Lovely or Stardust Memories... At the age of 60, she received her first Oscar nomination for her role as the wife in the film 45 Years. The film tells the story of a couple preparing to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary when they receive shocking news - the body of the husband's ex-lover was discovered in a state of almost complete preservation after nearly 50 years. That news shook the seemingly solid home of the elderly couple, disrupting their peaceful life.

“Subtle” is the word that can describe Charlotte Rampling’s performance. She successfully transformed into a woman who loves her husband very much and expressed a storm of emotions under a calm exterior. As the oldest person in the nominations, Charlotte Rampling would have had a chance to touch the golden statuette in the past when the Academy often favored older actors. However, times have changed, that trend of Oscar has been reduced in recent years.

Cate Blanchett(Carol movie)

The Australian beauty is no stranger to fame. Cate Blanchett has been nominated for an Oscar seven times and has won twice. In addition, Cate has also received three Golden Globes, three SAG Awards, three BAFTA Awards... She is loved by audiences through films such as Elizabeth, The Aviator, the Lord of the Rings blockbuster series, Blue Jasmine... This Oscar season, Cate continues to be nominated for her role as a lesbian woman named Carol in the film of the same name.

Carol is a beautiful, wealthy, but love-starved upper-class lady. She has a cold, distant, powerful appearance but has a complex and emotional inner life. Behind her cold, disdainful appearance is a hot heart, always ready to explode. This is a role that is even more highly regarded than Jasmine in Blue Jasmine, which brought Cate an Oscar two years ago. However, with her achievements, it is likely that this year Cate will have to give up the chance to win to newer faces.

Jennifer Lawrence(movie Joy)

26 years old and nominated for an Oscar four times for acting, Jennifer Lawrence is a shining star in Hollywood. She often plays strong, stubborn, and somewhat erratic female characters. Audiences love her through roles like Mystique in the X-Men series or Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games series. She is highly appreciated by experts through films like Silver Linings Playbook or American Hustle.

This year, Jennifer received another Oscar nomination for her role as single mother Joy in the film of the same name. Overcoming many difficulties in her personal life and work, Joy became a self-made millionaire thanks to her courage and talent. The film was not highly appreciated by critics, but Jennifer Lawrence's performance was still praised. However, compared to the remaining candidates, the chance of winning for the actress born in 1990 is not high.
