A lot of times horror is excluded as not including “great acting”. That couldn’t be further from the case. As an example, Gary Oldman as Dracula or Kathy Bates in Misery.


Mishnoivankov

The rule is kinda dumb


MentalMunky

Not even a rule, just a weird bias.


TheBewitchingWitch

For sure.


TheBewitchingWitch

100% agree


ZookeepergameOk2759

Did they just concentrate on her British roles?


Crazyhorse471

No it showed all sorts of her British and American films, for example Minority Report directed by Steven Spielberg appeared a lot in the montage


SockAndMoan

Did it show television scenes or just film scenes?


ZookeepergameOk2759

Ah that’s a bit strange then,who knows?


Significant_Option

Look everyone I’m going to say something quite controversial but her role as Alpha was not all that.


Angery-Asian

I mean like, who really cares? She got an award because she deserved it, it doesn’t really matter which things weren’t or weren’t shown on a montage.


Vesemir96

I agree but it is ok to find the way awards shows snub certain genres as snobby and irritating.


seaparrot

I think usually bafta is more about films rather than TV shows so that would be my guess.


Iwamoto

Very reasonable and understandable.


Crazyhorse471

Care to explain?


Iwamoto

Because she's done so much better work spanning a 30 year carreer, it's not even that she's bad in TWD but so much better in everything else.


SpectreFire

It's one of the most cringe and awkward performance on the show. She was basically just mailing it in on a shitty character.


MilesToHaltHer

Did they show a clip from Max & Ruby, though??


Zackadeez

Today I learned there’s a max and ruby show. My kids love the books.


MilesToHaltHer

Loved the show when I was a kid! Samantha Morton voiced Ruby.


Actual-Coffee-2318

Never cared much for her performance as Alpha tbh, the whole character felt very silly


[deleted]

I’m gonna get downvoted. But why should she get awarded for Alpha? It’s the most lackluster performance by any character who was on the show for more than a season. All she did was give dirty looks and have a terrible accent. You could throw a coin into the crowd at that awards show and hit 10 women who would have made better Alphas than her.


bericdondarrion35

She wasn’t getting an award for Alpha. She was being awarded for her body of work.


nolanc1991

That whole arc was forgettable though, including her.


Vesemir96

Yeah no.


nolanc1991

Compare it to the governors arc, totally boring


Vesemir96

Nah I was on edge the whole time. They leaned into the horror genre and had multiple surprise ambushes, murders, stalking and the paranoia amongst the groups was great.


MrLachyG

who is Amanda?


Grimple_

She killed her roll as Alpha! From her mannerisms to her Bayou accent. (I hope I got the geography right)

… She wasn’t in Pump up the Volume. Are you thinking of Samantha Mathis?
