A nomination for Hereditary perhaps (that year the category was stucked), but not a win. Emma Stone (and some of the other nominees) were better in my opinion.
@@rafaelc.c. Emma Stone was nominated for Supporting Actress that year, so she would not have been a factor against Toni, who clearly was the lead of Hereditary, so that doesn't even matter. That being said I believe that Olivia Coleman is at the same level as Toni always so that would have been a hard decision for me to say one deserved it more than the other.
As I hit play I was like, "And this will be the first time I hear her natural speaking voice," which is lovely. And she talked about what a 'dag' is, so that was gravy.
@@birdiewolf3497Arrival was 2 years before hereditary. The nominees were Lady Gaga - a star is born, Melissa McCarthy - Can You Forgive Me?, Olivia Coleman - The Favourite, Yalitza Aparicio - Roma, and Glenn Close - The Wife. I’ve never seen the last 2, but out of the first 3, Olivia is the only one that gives Toni a run for her money.
Yes, but what's even more sad is that we didn't really react that way is because so many of us could relate, recognized ourselves or people we knew, and were not shocked by it.
@@luisemalloy2210 Agreed. It's about being bullied but not being bullied...the pain of knowing you're not what others need to be and being nice enough to care about that. I wish I didn't relate as much as I do.
I've never felt the kind of tension hearing a mother yell in a movie (or any fictional material) as I did in that Hereditary scene. Like it literally felt like I regressed, like I was 8 and being yelled at by my mom. Except, well, I never killed anyone even accidentally of course. She ate that entire movie, and that movie is full of performers who ATE EVERYTHING. But anyway, she gobbled it. Absolutely.
Her performance in Hereditary is so chilling and raw that I can’t look at her without getting a small dose of the horror I felt in my first watch. Unbelievable actress
Can’t ever get over her Australian accent! Hahah she does “American” better than most Americans! United States of Tara is still my favorite thing she’s done!!
Not only she deserved a nomination for hereditary, she deserved to WIN that award. She was phenomenal. It’s about time the academy gives horror movies more recognition
Toni Collette is without question my favorite actor working right now. No name makes me perk up when I see a casting list quite like hers. Loved her insights. Edit: Shame they didn't go into Little Miss Sunshine. I feel that one is one of her best.
FINALLY a decent amount of time spent on her talking about her films and creative approach towards them. Toni is an absolutely incredible actor and there are not enough interviews with her on the internet imo 🔥
We need a part 2! She has so many amazing roles: In Her Shoes, Nightmare Alley, Fright Night, Little MIss Sunshine, Krampus, I'm Thinking of Ending Things, Miss You Already, The Long Way Down... And don't even get me started on United States of Tara with multiple personalities ❤🔥
She’s absolutely phenomenal in everything she does. She completely embraces these characters in such an honest and vulnerable way. Like how she starts crying for Murial all these years later. It’s incredible to see her perform.
Spoiler (even though Hereditary has been out for years, there still might be some people that haven’t seen it.) People talk about the dinner scene a lot in Hereditary, but I think her strongest emotional scene was her sobbing hysterically in her bedroom saying she wants to die after she finds her daughters body in the car, while her son is outside in the hallway listening to it. That scene gave me chills, and I don’t get chills much when watching movies.
Definitely, I always want to cover my ears, that's how real and gripping her wails were. The fact that she's on all fours like she's giving birth - her husband literally having to hold her up. Just devastating.
Murial's Wedding changed my life when I was younger. No one but me knew that movie and it's always been such a big part of my life. Watching and listening to her talk about her role in that movie, finally, was EVERYTHING to me.
Toni Collette is one of the best actresses ever, I can't believe her career has been 30 years. Yeah she deserves an Oscar hopefully she gets it in a film that is also deserving, she should have won it for Hereditary.
Welp, I've adored Toni since Muriel's Wedding and now I adore her even more! She's so thoughtful, charming, classy. One of the best actresses of her generation, period.
It was so beautiful to hear her talk about Muriel’s Wedding like this. I would rent that movie over and over again as a kid. It just rips your heart out of your chest then leaves you cheering. Ugh, Toni is such a superstar. I’ll watch anything she makes, she always delivers.
I love how she made the comment about accidentally pronouncing "simultaneously" wrong, because a lot of actors wouldn't know the difference or even bother to get it correct.
My first experience watching Toni Colette was in United States of Tara and I was floored by how seamlessly she transitioned into her alters. The cast of that show was phenomenal (young Brie Larson, John Corbett, Rosemarie Dewitt, Payton oswalt) and Toni lead them so well.
As a person and as an actor, Toni is by far the best of the best. I remember seeing her in the the Six Sense when I was 7 (I know questionable age for my parents to be showing me scary movies) and because of her performance I followed her works of art. United States of Tara being one of my favorites. She already knows how accomplished she is, however she deserves way more praise than what's given.
Never thought shoulder pads would come back. Anyway, she’s amazing. Can’t believe she hasn’t won an Oscar yet. Also, she does the best American accents!
I never realized that was Toni in The Sixth Sense. The first thing that came to my mind was "Ok, so shes been getting robbed for decades now, then? I thiught it was something new.".She was PHENOMENAL in The Sixth Sense. That car scene is so incredibly heart wrenching and yet it still has absolutely nothing on her performance in Hereditary. Literally gave me chills. This woman...talented doesn't even begin to describe it. That she hasn't been given an Oscar should be am actual crime
Toni Collette is underrated as an actress. Seems like she's receiving more roles and honestly we couldn't be any more prouder of her achievements. Hereditary is like a stepping stone for her to get into more mainstream popularity, and it's really getting her places in terms of making it big in the industry.
i'm not at all shocked that she didn't rehearse, just let herself feel it, and then poured out that absolutely jawdropping scene in hereditary. god, i remember watching that for the first time and being just horrified. the scariest part of hereditary really was the absolutely horrible trauma the family inflicted on itself. peter getting charlie killed and then just letting his mom find the body... annie unleashing that godawful rant at him... ellen turning her whole family into a sacrifice because she thought it was somehow worth it... jfc.
I’m glad she talked about Muriel’s Wedding, a very early film that put her on my radar and even since I’ve been following her career and she’s never disappointed
"Muriel's Wedding" was such a pivotal part of my adolescence. Learning that sometimes you hurt the ones you love most on your path to discovering how to love yourself.
I’ve loved and followed Toni’s career since watching Muriel’s Wedding as a child. Me and my sisters recorded it on VHS when it played on tv, watching it on repeat, remembering all the lines, and recreating all the scenes together. It was so relatable and impactful on my life!
"Japanese Story" is probaly her best performance (and that's saying alot), but barely anyone even knows about the movie. "Clockwatchers" is also a hidden gem.
I'm convinced this woman has magic powers. She morphs into her characters almost too well, and always manages to wrangle emotions out of me that I didn't even know I needed to express. Truly a force in the acting world.
I think it is quintessentially Australian. So many of our movies are a study in laconic dry humoured pathos, or seering bleakness. Cosi, Tim, The Dressmaker's Daughter (based on a book of course), Picnic at Hanging Rock, Road to Nhill, Strictly Ballroom, Sorrento, Lantana, High Ground, Rabbit Proof Fence, Samson and Delililah, Gallipoli, Crackerjack, to name just a few. ❤
One of the few actors who continues to amaze me every time I watch one of her performances. I'll always remember first seeing her in Shaft (hadn't seen Sixth Sense first) and for such a nondescript film overall it introduced me to Toni Colette, Christian Bale (even though I did see him in Newsies first), and Jeffrey Wright...
First saw her as Muriel and instantly sensed that something seriously special was going on with this chick. Then I saw her in Sixth Sense, which confirmed it. When I saw Hereditary, she officially became the best actress I had ever had the pleasure of being influenced by in a movie -- EVER. United States of Tara was great as well.
She is one of the best actors out there. She always brings so much truth and heart to every role. Also I love her Australian accent. I wish there were more roles that allowed her speak with her natural accent. I had no idea she was Australian until maybe a few years ago because I've only ever heard her with an American accent. Accents are so difficult but she nails it.
What a pleasure this was. Toni Collette is one of my favorite actors. I was lucky enough to see her on Broadway in The Wild Party and she was amazing in it. I want Ryan Murphy to film a remake of Gypsy (as a miniseries!) and have her play Rose.
The fact that this woman has not won an Oscar isn't just criminal, it's freaking sinful. And her accent of course is divine. And heard describing Muriel's Wedding as the saddest comedy ever is perfect
She is just such a gem and one of the most talented actors in recent memory. Just fabulous in EVERYTHING she does and she just seems like a wonderful human.
She is my favorite! I’ve been watching her since Muriel’s wedding, one of the best actresses of our time. She deserves so many more accolades and brings 110% to ever role she plays.
I grew up watching Muriels wedding so many times, when I left my hometown, my brother and I yelled "GOODBYE PORPOISE SPIT!" I've loved her ever since. But still can't bring myself to watch the last 20 minutes of hereditary, geesh.
