And as a comparison she would have to pick the biggest waif actress in Hollywood as a comparison.

I don't think even Hollywood wants Kendrick's body as the norm for female leads.



So basically the chick from that awful network family drama that people seem to love on this board

Anna Kendrick hasn't sniffed an Oscar since and probably never will.

She's on par with Kristin Bell in terms of - she could do a good tv show if she wanted, she could do plenty of voice work if she wanted, she can continue being a co-leading actress in easy movies for general audiences if she wanted.


Feels like you think you're saying this as though this isn't describing Hollywood success. "If she wanted" is a phrase that implies choice, and only successful actors have choice.

What? I'm not that big into stick figures, Kendrick is no waif! I'm not sure you know what that even means.

Of course she's successful, but the level she's at has a defined ceiling and a short shelf life.

No one is beating down doors to beg Anna Kendrick to be the lead actress of a big budget Oscar contending drama.

Anna is a smoke show who has obvious talents.

I'm guessing Gabourey was a token nomination. From a virtue signaling Hollywoke that is only trying to pander to a niche fanbase so they can appear inclusive.

If one actress tests better than another in focus groups, that's how it goes. That's not a cause you stand for , protest and expect to change.
