#NeverForget
Haha! What made you think of this?
Her Oscar acceptance made it all worth it.
CONSIDER.
I just love that whole "i'm so glad my third husband is dead" vibe of that ad.
haha Leo is so kooky. Currently being wonderfully creepy on Wayward Pines. May she never hurt for work.
That was epic. She needs another "Fighter"like juicy role.
The LEOgend continues.
ICONIC
I really like her as an actress, and I have no doubt she's a wonderful person, but those posters were just off-puttingly tacky. Let the work speak for itself.
This whole photo shoot was such a mess. I remember making the joke "Consider... someone else" when the photos debuted.
But it didn't hurt her campaign, apparently, so what do I know?
Melissa Leo: Take this, Amy Adams!
I wouldn't be surprised if Leo becomes one of those a-nomination-per-decade actors.
Philip H. & Derreck -- LOL
This remains one of my favorite incidents ever in awards race campaigning and it still brings the best out of people (see Derreck's comment for example). I dream of a world where she would constantly be nominated and would just keep churning out crazy FYI ads for our amusement. Oh, look! She's in spaceship this year!
I'm waiting for Diane Ladd to overtake the season.
I'm sure she won't even use "consider", but use "just vote".
This made my day. TFE 4eva!
Subheading -- Melissa Leo: The Anti-Mo'Nique.
A slightly scary moment for me, because I love her and really wanted her to win, and this seemed like SUCH a stumble at the time.
Now of course it just adds to the LEOgacy of one of my fave supporting actress wins.
I'm really hoping that Diane Ladd out-campaigns Leo only to be snubbed in favor of her Italian co-star :-P
This pic made me think she was guest-starring on Game of Thrones.
In light with Love.
I still can't believe this was a real thing and not a result funny or die skit or some SNL parody. This is so tacky.
I took this post last night as a sign to stop putting off watching The Three Burials Of Melquiades Estrada, and I was not steered wrong! Great film, really impressed by Tommy Lee Jones as a director, and most importantly I got a movie that to deliver me the Melissa Leo/January Jones mall slut best friendship I didn't even know I needed.
Her Sandy Dennis biopic never surfaced online, Francine.
You know what makes me sad about this that Amy Adams really really deserved the Oscar that year and i am a big Leo fan.
What an embarrassment this was. Even more so in retrospect.
This is what RuPaul would call, "OPULENCE!!!"
Every time I see this photo I just imagine the room reeking of chlorine.
"What becomes a LEOgend most?"
#Whiteglama
Good lord that is one badly photoshopped into face! The lighting matches nothing in the photo!
MARK, I, as well, would have given it to Adams that year. In my perfect world she'd have two Oscars now -- the other for Junebug -- and I don't even consider myself that big a fan of hers.
I. Love. This. So. Much.
THIS IS THE BEST COMMENT THREAD. AND I'VE "CONSIDER"ED MANY
I thought that was Caitlyn.
God Bless
One of the most bizarre occurrences that still makes me wonder if it wasn't an Onion article all along. Thank you life, thank you love, thank you Leogend.
If you ask me, this was the best thing about the Oscars 2010, one of its worst recent iterations.
where the fuck did she put the cane?
She deserved that Oscar just for slapping the door instead of knocking like a sensible person. Hilarious.
Also, I love that "Consider..." has lived on as perhaps the best one-word joke that everyone understands in the Oscarverse. Thumbs up.
