Claire Foy's marvellous Emmy Winning Act in The Crown 2x08 

Funny, this is the exact thing that I noticed about Emilia Clarke as well, and thought that their manner of acting is quite alike with Claire Foy's. Damn, these women are so good at being queens.

@@olyaagapova989 In season 8 yeah Emilia clarke definitely stepped up her performance acting wise. In the earlier seasons not as much.

@@rozz1864 yeeesss, I agree. In fact I think I was speaking about last 2-3 seasons in my comment. Her acting has improved really, but anyways, this "tension breathing" thing was there from the beginning I think

@@olyaagapova989 yeah face acting. I agree they both are pretty similar and execute it super well. Can convey a lot of emotion without words.

And the vein on her forehead about to explode

With Claire you just feel like you ARE her, for the scene, while Olivia is more of an external kind of actress.

I agree! I like Olivia, but Clare was the best fit for that role. I genuinely did not understand why they didn't utilize makeup/prosthetics to age her instead of replacing her...c'est la vie. As for BAFTA snubbing her (their loss by the way), it could be due to the involvement and support BAFTA receives from the royal family. The queen is extremely old fashioned and private, she will not come to terms with a TV show based on their lives.

@@S_Ming407 It would probably be too expensive to utilize makeup/prosthetics for all the main actors involved, on a TV budget.

Claire was much better than Olivia

​@@AmitZinmanVideo, I believe the budget was around $150m; I am sure the producers could have worked with Netflix to get more since it was so popular. Furthermore, they would only have to do it on Clare and Matt (queen and Phillip). The kids would have to change since the ones used on seasons one and two were quite young. As for Margaret, I actually believe Helena Bonham worked really well. Due to her lifestyle choices, the real Princess Margaret aged very fast.

An actual icon

Which episode?

@@vitoriasena8014 season 2 episode 8: dear mrs kennedy

You guys know this really didn’t happen ?

@@nazaninmaily2030 I'm sure they're talking about the character not the real queen

I felt so bad for her..we all thought that they could be friends..since it seemed like they are getting along..but people can be so fake and cruel

jackie was the most third-class person ever

@@truthboi400 Agreed. Ultimately her father was of French descent in the male line, and that says it all.

Phil dug Jackie

Debo Devonshire’s take on Jackie Kennedy was that she was “...a very queer fish...very oddly put-together”, and that’s all I can think when I hear or see anything to do with JK.

jeez me too. sorry for your loss, honestly. loss of illusions about that person, I suppose. I came to think of it as a blessing, as it’s better to be disillusioned sooner rather than later, but still I always mourn that serene happy feeling I once had about them

@@freckleKaren yes definitely. It hurts to go through but it's an important process because it shows you who your real friends are.

@Evil Jester who said anything about men. women have other relationships which are important to them, besides love interests.

@Evil Jester even though your comment is completely irrelevant to the conversation above, i'd just like you to know that men who refer to other men as "beta males" are not any more attractive to women and do not inspire much trust

@@freckleKaren I'm proud of both of us for having a positive conversation about relationships, lets not allow some silly little troll make himself the centre of attention :) us women have a right to talk about our problems in a mature and healthy way. I hope you have good friends around you now who support and care for you :)

Fuck the queen, she ordered princess Diannas death

@Fuck people with Anime profiles Just saw this, you cant seriously think this was an accident. 1. Four motorcycles were following Diana the whole night (Likely working with british special forces or M16) 2. There were 14 cameras in that tunel and not one of them was working and managed to capture the "accident"? 3. Multiple witnesses report seeing a bright white light right before the crash (brighter than a camera flash) which was likely a strobe light used to blind the driver. 4. The hospital was 10 minutes away from the crash sight, 20 at most with traffic. It took them over an hour to get there. 5. Just 10 months before Diana's death she wrote a note to a friend stating, and I quote, "Charles is planning a break failure, serious head injury to make way for camilla to marry" 6. Lets talk about the confusion in witness reports post crash: Initial reports claim that Diana was fine, and only appeared to have a broken leg. A sky news reporter recieved the official call stating that Dodi (Diana's spouse) had die, but Diana was fine and only suffered a concussion and a broken leg. Reasons: -Its no secret that Princess Diana was hated by the royal family. Prince Charles especially, as he wanted to marry Camilla before and after he married Diana. -Princess Diana was pregnant with Dodi's child, the royal family couldnt accept that a Egyptian muslim would eventually be the step dad of the future king of England. -Shortly before her death prince Phillip issued a threat against Diana after she stated that she wanted to seperate from Prince Charles. -If she was to divorce/or seperate from the marraige, which she did, she immediately became a threat to the throne. Coincidence? I think the fuck not. Long live Princess Diana, the queen of hearts, and rot in hell to every other member of the Royal family.

@Fuck people with Anime profiles K now Imma debunk and add even more facts. 1. No, those four motorcycles were unidentified, the driver assumed that they were paparazzi and took that route specifically to get away from them, which is also why he was speeding. 2. Well of course there’s gonna be pictures of the accident afterwards, what’s your point? 3. The only other car in the tunnel was the one directly infront of Diana’s car (I’ll take abt that in point 4) so it wasn’t a headlight, and as I said the witness reports (7 specifically) stated that the light was uncommonly bright, and it was a single flash. These witness reports were bystanders outside of the tunnel, meaning that light had to have been extremely bright. 4. The car that hit Diana’s car was never seen again after initial witness reports, despite the million dollar investigation and the biggest large scale search in history. 5. As I said, the hostpital was at most 29 minutes away, and may I remind you that they would’ve obviously made way for an ambulance, especially one with a Royal? 6. The man who received the letter made it public, and clearly shows the insignia of an official, private royal letter. 7. No, I’m not talking about thoughts, I’m talking about multiple people reporting to see Diana leave the car limping, which is contrary to the police report that she was in critical condition and unable to move. 8. Anything to say about the 14 CCTV cameras? Even more facts: Firstly, let’s not forget that MI6 and the British special forces are more than capable of staging an accident. -A former MI6 agent, Richard Tomlinson, stated that the agency was involved in Diana’s death. This project was similar to a project that MI6 conducted to assassinate the former president of Serbia, which was to blind the driver using strobe lights. It’s worth noted that this man was later kidnapped and tortured by MI6. He also said, and I’ll remind you that he’s a former MI6 agent, that MI6 has the capacity to stage an accident, wether by helicopter, airplane or car. - The only other witness in the tunnel, who was believed to be working for MI6, was driving ahead of Diana at the time. The owner of this car was found dead, with his head separated from his body. Decapitation. Come on man, you can’t seriously think that this was just an accident. Princess Diana was the most kind hearted, down to earth person in the Royal family, and she also had intentions to expose other powerful alliances of sex trafficking, drug trafficking etc. I already listed some reasons in my last reply.

@Fuck people with Anime profiles Agreed. Honestly my hatred for the royal family isnt only due to the point that they were involved in Diana's death, it's also the way they treated her before she died. The way prince Charles treated his wife, the mother of his children was just cruel. I recommend a show called 'The Crown' it sums it up pretty well, peace

@@davo9905 how about we say screw Diana and respect the ANOINTED and CROWNED MONARCH of our country. Diana also slept around and how does her philandering go unnoticed but Charles’s doesn’t ?.

Perfect comment

Yep it’s just not the same at all, if we could keep the actors who play grown up Charles and Anne and just have everyone else from season 1 and 2 it’d be great

The new cast is fantastic.

Thought so too, but now I started season 3 and I think it’s very good (still like claire Foy a bit more)

Yeah ! It's just not the same ... it feels so empty without her tbh...

Amen lol. Knew i wasnt alone. Couldnt stick with season 3, but 4 hooked me again

Fabulous!

Jackie was better educated but not smarter. Jackie was prettier and very elegant and accomplished but she was never head of a country for 70 years and still admired and respected by most world leaders today.

@@lesleyschultz6846 exactly!! 😁 the Queen stays Queen!!!

@@lesleyschultz6846 I personally think Jackie has the strangest face--I never found her beautiful. She had great style but lacked in personality too. Only an insecure woman would get that vicious with another woman who she senses has vulnerabilities...and Jackie had plenty to be insecure about with her husband.

I find elegant, intelligent brunette white women like Audrey Hepburn, Emma Watson, Natalie Portman, Jackie K, Kate Middleton, etc. are worshiped to an unnecessary degree. They're no doubt great role models and certainly worthy of compliments but some people seem to view them as absolutely legendary and divine, which seems like a bit much. Being thin, beautiful, intelligent, put-together, kind, classy and accomplished actually isn't that hard if you're born into the right environment and with the right disposition.

@@hollywoodshopaholic audrry hepburn starved in WAR, earned her own money through ballet and rose to fame. I don't know about others but she certainely wasn't in the right environment or disposition. She made herself.

I don't think she's just Colman playing Elizabeth. I think it's almost a different role now. Cause in the first 2 seasons, it was all drama with Phillipe, and how to cope with this job, with her being the head of state at the age of 28 or something etc. So it was a very awarding time for an actress. Now, Colman plays the settled Queen. No drama anymore, at least not with herself. She knows who she is now and what's her duty etc. So it's just not as showy of a role as it was in the first seasons. And Colman is great at this subtle, settled queen role. :)

@@oscarfun100 Yeah that’s a bizarre take. Especially since we know Coleman is NOTHING like this. She’s absolutely jovial and not at all like QEII

I agree wowzer... I love Olivia Coleman, but in this role she fails with the accent, the walk, how she holds herself - she just doesn’t embody the Queen the way Claire Foy did.

@@pok3rfacReturns She's pretty regularly chipper in season 4

Personally on leading roles the people who replace that role will never be better because it is a high expectation especially with Claire foy she is just amazing and deserved all the awards she has got and more

How sweet!❤️

I helped my 75 year old mother get Netflix because I thought she might like this. She watched all 40 episodes in two weeks

Thank you for sharing you just made my month

i laugh, simply because i see the windsor, specially after dianas death as jealous celebrities

Why'd you cry

That scene got me very emotional as well. I felt bad for Elizabeth.

Ikr..

@@sanhcman666 my god you people are hypocritical

I totally agree! It bothers me that this detail is not portrayed on Olivia Coleman and I dug a bit into it. It seems that producers felt that Olivia looked odd with blue contacts or something and decided to be without. I can't take her seriously as Queen Elizabeth missing her blue eyes

@@maria.luiza.13 Yes, I too dug into it and found out the same. However, I still find it to be a cardinal mistake.

So true! Especially since they so often focus on the eyes and it's such a prominent feature in their reactions. Small details like that are what makes the characters truly authentic. It's a pity they never maintained it.

this is so true! i'm currently watching s3 and the change of eye colour bothered me so much!

@@joshifereverlark8605 and helena bonham carter is so iconic, that whenever she comes in, all I see is her. She is the same person in every film. An eye colour change might have offered some reprieve from the fact she always seems the same.

well they have great schools for acting, Hollywood has great studios for churning stars. I'm sure France and Italy may have great schools for acting, but India and Nigeria have big studios, depends what they specialize in. Japan chose anime, Korea chose drama. I'm just sad film festivals have died, it was a way to get more great content.

Very much so!

I agree, I love actress Olivia but ... Claire has earned the role of queen

1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000% I actually didnt think much of season 3&4

@@rhyst124 Yeah, seasons 1-2 were better written. But to be clear - Olivia Colman is great too. I wish they divided the storyline differently for example 3+3+3 or 3+2+2 seasons

I agree, Olivia is an excellent actress but I think they changed the cast too quickly ... I would have liked one more season with the cast of the first two seasons

@madeleine webster episode 8 i think? it was towards the end of the season

i got goosebumps by just seeing her again lol

Was this the picture?

For diana?

Me too! Must be so difficult to have that much responsibility and being such a public figure! Takes a really strong character to do that for so many decades especially since she didn't choose to be Queen!

Underrated? She won an Emmy for this.

@@pok3rfacReturns Stupid

@@pok3rfacReturns that doesn’t change the fact that she’s underrated.

@@cc22ful She literally received the highest acting honor for television. Yes it does.

@@pok3rfacReturns either you don’t understand what “underrated” means or you’re just trolling. She should be a proper movie star. Not just an actress known for one good role. Claire Foy is one of the most talented actresses out there, she should have a movie career like Kate Winslet. Yet somehow even Keira Knightley has a bigger career than her.

oh sheeeeeet

Oooh that's harsh

wow JUST WOW!!! 🤯🤯

i hate to break it to you................

Well not anymore lmao

The Emmys are given out for a specific episode which the actors submit. In Claire Foy's case it was Dear Mrs. Kennedy, eighth episode of season 2. In my opinion this scene got her the award but she's excellent throughout the episode and it's one of my favorites' from all the series.

Continuing on, I think the actor who played older Phillip is my favourite in the series.

Me too. I watch fee episode the sea3 and go back again to rewatch season 1 😂

ZC. Thank you ma'am khan. I simply adored and respected all the actors in the crown. They are brilliant and a huge British talent in the filming industry. Look forward to see them in their new project. Enthusiastic, anxious and thrilled so much and willing to wait on what those actors can offer in their new projects. God bless all of us. Love and respect.
