What will it take to get Amy out of her flop era? Another script like Mrs. Pettigrew lives for a day. I love that movie.
I think she’s still paying the price for her professional overexposure during the 2010s’. Streep took a decades-long hiatus to raise her daughters after a very long string of criticcally & audience acclaimed projects, and ppl were actually intrigued to see what she was still capable of when she wanted back. Then she starred in Devil loves Prada. Kidman works a lot, but she draws the following of a much longer career shockfull of cult movies, the kind that’s no longer made. And there’s the factor of her former marriage to Cruise, which undeniably boosted her celebrity rank for some time.
Amy’s been consistently controversy & drama free, so sadly she’s not getting the attention garnered by other actresses. Directors might not think she’s a thrilling addition to a project as much. She also tends to get these kind of intellectual, family-friendly projects. She’s associated with the kind of stuffy FMC that leads Oscar Contender Movies. Just like JLaw.
I suspect she’s rejected at least a couple of good projects bc they seem too mainstream or mass-appealing. It’s been also reported that she doesn’t do supporting characters. That would leave her with a very narrow pool in an industry that’s fixated with sm algorythms, that’s more competitive than ever and that doesn’t pay as easily the checks of yore. Ultimately, for diverse reasons not all careers are made to stay at a lifelong high plateau.
I love that movie too! So charming. And Lee Pace is everything.
Wonderful movie.
I don’t give a fcuk. Amy Adams isn’t flopping in a damn thing.
Don’t mock the flop.
Is she having a flop era? The only recent project of hers that I kind of side-eye is Dear Evan Hanson and that has nothing to do with her.
Add Hillbilly Elegy. Sometimes scripts and projects don’t work out the way they’re imagined. It just takes the right thing. Although there’s no excuse for hillbilly elegy😂
Honestly IMO she’s not that talented. Not a lot of range. She’s not memorable for me but in only the first thing I remember seeing her in and that’s Catch Me If You Can.
And if anything will kill your career, it should be Hillbilly Elegy.
Bev: Oh wow, really? I thought she gave just phenomenal performances in Arrival and Nocturnal Animals.
@Jais, Totally agree. She was probably lured in because Ron Howard was the Director. The Hillbilly Elegy movie attempted to make J. D. Vance seem sympathetic. The book was much more realistic.
She was amazing in Sharp Objects.
Damn I had no idea that Nicholas Hoult had a partner much less a wife and kids! Absolute proof that actors can keep their personal lives from becoming public fodder if they want to.
Armani Latimer is STUNNING without a wig. Obviously it’s quite brave of her to go without and she’s bringing awareness but man, some women really can pull off that look.
She has a beautifully shaped head. Mine would be all lumps and bumps, with a flat spot at the back.
She really rocks the bald. Her face is absolutely perfect. Even at my thinnest, I always have a double chin (thanks dad) and could never pull this off.
There is a rapper in K-Pop, Peniel from BTOB, who suddenly covered his head with hats and scarves for a year. After lots of questions from his fans, he explained that he had alopecia. This was in his early 20s and when you see pictures of him ‘before’, with a full head of hair, oh the difference. It must be so hard to have that happen. Sometimes he performs with his head shaved and you can see the ’empty’ patches and it helps you understand what this type of hair loss is like.
How brave of Armani to do this and spread awareness here.
Just here to say I recently finished Sharp Objects (I know… it’s YEARS old) and she was terrific in that! IMHO she wasn’t the only one that was terrific. Hope all you Celebitches have a great weekend!
First movie with Amy Adams that I’ve watched, was Wedding Date, and she was part of the supporting cast. I had a feeling she would hit it big after that.
Jay Z accuser and her lawyer are lying scammers. Quelle surprise. Jay handled this perfectly.
Y’all forget she played a Hillbilly first in that one episode of Buffy. But seriously none of us really knew what Vance was then. My main complaint about the book was it was about him and didn’t give a voice to hillbillies.
