Is this it for Demi and a chance at an Oscar?[/quote]

I think Demi succeeded at getting back on the radar and will hopefully get other big roles now that she’s demonstrated she still has a fan base and can act.

There’s no reason to trot out Nicole Kidman or British actresses when Demi is here. [/quote]

Demi can't hold a candle to British actresses like Kate Winslet, Emma Thomson, Judi Dench, etc. or to Nicole Kidman. I like her, but she's not a great actress. She happened to get a really good role, but she might not get another. [/quote]

Emma and Judi are old…and look old. They can play old ladies.

Nicole has destroyed her face and is in too many projects.

I say give Demi another role. She’s still vibrant and a decent actress. Surely she will find another movie? [/quote]

Demi could do a lot of the roles that Nic is getting.  Demi is great as sort of an intense power broker type woman — cast her as a political ladder climber, a cut throat law firm partner, etc.  I think she’s much better than Nic on those sorts of roles.  She’s got that cut through you stare and can deliver rapid fire dialogue.  She also can deliver a comic line decently well.  I don’t think she has the largest range in the world but she is great with certain types of roles.  [/quote]
I get that you hate Kidman but you're wrong if you think Demi could just sub in for NK. Kidman, in an effort to work with female directors and bring women's stories to light, has produced many of her recent projects. Some projects only get green lit because NK is part of them. Reese Witherspoon is another working to bring projects where women are cast as more than just the wife of mother. These women should be applauded for at least that much.[/quote]

That’s my post  and I actually t really like NK as a person.  I just always think she seems a little weird/off on her acting.  like she brings an eyes wide shut energy to all her dramatic roles.  I actually like her better when she uses her real accent, or in comedies, but o know that’s not a popular take.  
I appreciate her and Reese producing female-centric movies but I also have to say I don’t like most of them.  They mostly have a sort of book club vibe that is sort of like high class soap opera type stuff.  Like that recent Kidman vehicle about the rich lady with the beach house (who spoiler alert was previously a sex worker, so we come back to how much Hollywood likes sex workers).  Nic is probably a better actor than Demi, but I think there’s room for both of them and they could fill a lot of the same roles.  I feel like I have to rewatch indecent proposal or something to assess Demi’s acting.  (Love Redford and woody so it’s probably worth a rewatch!)

Anyway, I think we’re all in agreement that Hollywood needs more roles for women over 60, and that there’s probably room for more than the 3 of them that they keep using.  [/quote]
It's just not true to say "Demi could do a lot of the roles that Nic is getting." Unless you ignore that NK is producing the project or other directors or production companies are signing on because NK (or RW) are signed on to the project. [/quote]

Your close friend Nic? Lmao[/quote]

Ms. Kidman to the non soccer mom world. [/quote]
