Jennifer did not deserve an Oscar. However, Hushpuppy did, she should have won.
A motherless six year old who lives in a swamp? Now THATS acting.

Apparently playing crazy women win actresses Oscars.

She was good but nowhere near as good as in Winter's Bone. That was her role-she owned it.

Heck, I thought she did a better job in Hunger Games than SLP.

I look at her win more as an acknowledgment of other roles and of how they perceive her future. She's the real deal but her win was for a weaker role.
