oh IMDb...

Okay, so there's a post: "If Marion Cotillard's film was out last year, would she have beaten Helen Mirren?" And some people are answering "yes," even going so far as to say "definitely."

WHAT.

Did you people not learn that when the question is would any performance in history win at the Oscars vs. Helen Mirren in The Queen, the answer will, 95% of the time, be definitely not? This is especially true of upset wins. By unknown actresses. In foreign language films. With mediocre reviews. Against legendary actresses. Without Oscars. Is that enough? Should I keep going? (Why are you the way that you are?)
