Five Defining Roles Of Frances McDormand That Make Her Oscar Worthy

Team AllAboutEve by Team AllAboutEve

Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

At 60, when most women her age are babysitting grandkids, the two time Oscar winner, Frances McDormand still manages to stop many hearts with her breathtaking performances on screen. Her latest Oscar win for the movie “Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri” prove why she belongs on the same mantle as Meryl Streep and Diane Keaton.

She may not represent an eye-rubbing beauty. But these five defining characters of her career reaffirm why McDormand is such a powerhouse performer.

1. AS MARGE GUNDERSON IN FARGO

Arguably one of her best roles ever is her part in Fargo, for which she won her first Oscar. The actor was the backbone of the widely acclaimed 1996 movie, where she played a no-nonsense pregnant Minnesota police chief investigating roadside homicides.

Her character wasn’t too garrulous. Nor was it disenchanted by the ensuing drama. But McDormand’s conformity to positivity amidst difficult times provided a soothing balance to the typical criminal ugliness that surrounds this classic black comedy.

2. AS ELAINE MILLER IN ALMOST FAMOUS

This Cameron Crowe epic might have offered a great platform to actors like Kate Hudson. But Francis McDormand created a distinct presence for herself by essaying the role of rock journalist William Miller’s mother, Elaine Miller.

McDormand portrayed a believable character of an anxious mother bordering on obsession about her ‘would-be journalist’ kid. Her intellectual prowess shone brightly albeit stemming from an unexpressed superiority complex, an important element of an enjoyable film.

3. AS JANE IN LAUREN CANYON

Lauren Canyon is a must watch where she plays a fast-paced, edgy, exceedingly bright and a very suave, urban mom. Even though her character had shades of narcissism, it came across as something highly believable. McDormand was bold and gritty as a middle-age record producer who loves to live young.

4. AS LINDA LITZKE IN BURN AFTER READING

How profoundly stupid and silly was this character? A fitness trainer who needlessly gets involved in a crime plot, McDormand was fiery and funny. Yet, at the same time, her persona produced fireworks for that chemistry with Brad Pitt. Even though this was a goofy character, McDormand managed to bring out some depth in it. Again, a trait you’d identify with great actors.

5. AS JANE IN FRIENDS WITH MONEY

Perhaps it’s McDormand’s characteristic ease of dealing with complex characters that make her a legend. As the successful Jane who was rich but living a hollow personal life, McDormand birthed a very believable character. You’re more likely to run into a similar personality in today’s fast-paced times. McDormand’s Jane had the drive to attain professional goals but lacked the spirit to lead a wholesome, happy life. Haven’t we all known a Jane like that?

#EveOfTheMoment: @bawrijogan shares her story with us

I have loved dancing since I was a kid and started learning Kathak at 8. But as time passed, I lost touch with dancing. 

In 2017, the spark rekindled when I watched dance reality shows. But this time, I found a new love - belly dancing. I learnt belly dancing through TV, YouTube and Instagram. 

Belly dance is a non-conventional art form that society doesn’t accept without judgements. But my father, sister and brother-in-law supported and encouraged me to follow my passion. 

At first, I was apprehensive about belly dancing because I was conscious of my body and skin. I didn’t fit the standards society has for a belly dancer. But the more I practised, the more I fell in love with the art form. 

In 2021, I decided to learn belly dancing professionally. Back then, I had a hard time where getting out of bed was also a chore. However, belly dancing helped me deal with it all. It helped me grow confident and embrace my body and skin condition - vitiligo. 

Soon, I started teaching belly dance, conducting workshops and even had a chance to do a dance project with my teacher recently. 

For me, belly dancing is like meditation. It takes me to a different zone where I can express my feelings, be it sorrow or happiness, and I feel at peace. It is all about expressively channelising my emotions.

A one-night stand's primary notion is to have a pleasurable, casual night of sex and then never see each other again. When you make the decision to let your hormones rule over, an automatic fire develops. It's nothing to be ashamed of, despite the fact that many people might judge others for having a one-night stand. You will benefit greatly from owning your sexuality and taking the bull by the horns. Others find it difficult to have a little fun with a stranger, while others do. Let's find out whether one-night stands are your thing. - Madam Eve

The world is just healing from the impact of one of the deadliest viruses in recent times and the memories are still pretty fresh. So, Anubhav Sinha’s attempt with Bheed is commendable. The movie showcases thousands of migrants going back to their villages on foot post the Covid curfew announcement. From cycling to being stuffed in trucks, trollies, or any other available vehicles, people were desperate to get back home. But the harsh reality loses its impact in the storytelling with too many great ideas tied together loosely. Here is our review of Bheed starring Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar, Dia Mirza, Ashutosh Rana, Kritika Kamra, and Pankaj Kapur.

Unless you poke them in the wrong place, Pisces is one of the easiest-going water signs. The downside is that they may also be very secretive and start behaving cold and aloof when enraged. When something hurts them, they could not even tell you about it and keep acting unconcerned until they have a breakdown. So, if your Pisces partner is acting strange, here's why you need to be concerned. - @ravnoor_09, Features Writer
