She has not booked a teaching job in 15 years but watches the Oscars every year in hopes that a nominee, that she hasn’t ever met, will thank her in their acceptance speech.

As someone who majored in theatre, I can 100% confirm the accuracy of this woman’s oversized glasses, animal print scarf, and air of fragility

Her acting is so good that I am both annoyed and bored by this video. She portrays the character perfectly!

I love how, through adjusting mannerisms and tone, Caitlin can range from 22 to 57 years old.

Just give this woman an oscar already lol she is so good at this

there's an air of kindness despite her unfortunate situation she seems like a genuine person behind her melancholic exterior, probably the most sane Caitlin character

“I have not yet won an oscar in my career. I have not. I get asked quite a bit.😏” Yeah. Sure. 😂

I actually think this character's a lot nicer than most of Caitlin's others- sure, she's bitter and unfulfilled, but she seems to genuinely care about her students and encourages them, and that's something

And that's called living life on the edge of a meltdown.

The ever so subtle bitterness throughout this is spot on 😂😂😂

1:11 "It has been outstanding, it has been groundbreaking, beautiful, EARTH SHATTERING, LIFE ALTERING" 😭😭😭 Channelling Gaga I see

You do such a wonderful job capturing such precise moods of bitterness that we can all recognize.

You know who is 100% worthy of an Oscar? Caitlin! Goddammit, what a brilliant woman.

OMG, she was in one of the film school projects my brother did two years ago! She was in the supporting cast! Such a pro! So, my brother told me she was also offering this acting workshop in NY, so I went because I've always wanted to be an actress. Her workshop "No Acting, Please!" had a great blend of Stanislawskian meth-OD acting, non-sense memory and pre-birth trauma channeling. She also told me she worked with De Niro in Heat... kinda hard to spot, but she's one of the extras in the bank they rob... somewhere in the background she ducks under a table pretty quickly, you have to freeze frame, but it must've been an amazing experience working with De Niro. I hear she does online coaching now and again, whenever she's not working as a pre-school English substitute teacher. I remember, during the workshop, when working a script or a scene, she always used to say "First, get to the N.O.W.: need, objective, want"... or was it W.O.N? Anyway, seeing her here brings back memories.

"Student, still... afteralltheseyears" she just transformed into so many of my acting teachers

"Foolish to think of such" 😂😂😂 But honestly the bit about success being inside was kinda heartwarming 🥺

The low-key emotional breakdown facing reality before the Starbuck's delusion and the covert desperation in the final. This is perfection

I've never met this kind of person, but I feel I know them. That is why this woman is just so good. She makes you feel like you know these people personally. Where is her OSCAR!?

As a theatre kid, as soon as I saw those glasses and that scarf I knew I met this person before. Soooooo on point.

I‘ve never met an acting coach in my entire life and yet I somehow feel like this is 100% accurate

I love how she grips the Oscar like shes the one who won it, and is giving her own acceptance speech. Really fits the character hilariously!!

That Starbucks story coming out of NOWHERE is PEAK acting teacher!!! Lmaoo

She even painted her nails for this. That’s dedication.

“The…caliber,” amazing perfect the tone the facial expression gold

HOW DOES SHE DO IT- every single time

the expensive scarf, the expensive spectacles, and that karen look. perfect.

It's always the "dear friend" giving them some random trinket they will treasure forever

Jesus, the hair, the glasses, the scarf 😂 I hope you win an Oscar girl!

caitlin has mastered the art of 'trying to speak while holding in salty tears'

It's the not so thinly veiled bitterness that really sells it for me

You need to win an Oscar for this performance 😭

I love that part where she snuck in "after all these years..." hahaha oh my god I had a good laugh with that one. Man, she's good!

I have a feeling she might want an Oscar. Just a hunch.🤔

Feels like an acceptance speech 😂💯

Nothing like hate-watching the oscars with your dollar store statuette. 🤣🤣

_"And the award for 'Best performance of actors whose dreams have been crushed' goes to...."_

Cool you did a longer one! Oh God, where to start with her! I love her holding the fake Oscar, petting it with her fingers while she talks. The matching glasses and scarf were a nice touch too! But her whole personality is a classic!😂👏👏

a 3 minute video, we are blessed

I met her at Starbucks, she was nobody then. She is somebody now, but I will always remember her as the girl from Starbucks. Good lord lmfao 🤣

Can we take a moment to appreciate what an extraordinary psychologist she is?

Lol no way this teacher was prepared for what actually happened at the Oscars

the self praising is getting me LMAOO

“This was given to me by a dear friend who passed away” WAS THE MOST ACCURATE PART OF THIS

That was difficult to watch and heartbreaking to listen to! Bravo!

i love the mix between "positivity" (which is totally fake and fabricated) and a sort of resentment towards everyone and everything.

How is it that every single one of her characters is so convincing like I literally believe that she is each person she plays every.single.video. That is what you call TALENT

:) Somebody must've already acknowledged the beautifully implicit reveal of the character's hypocrisy ("Success isn't only on IMDB," followed by "[Jessica Chastain] was nothing then..."). Hilarious, exquisitely delineated, so rewarding of our attention, as always.

Omg 3 minutes worth of absolute comedy 😂😭this is amazing

I’m laughing my head here while also feeling just a little bit sorry for everyone who didn’t make it in showbiz. It is just such a hard industry.

“And that is why I am proud to call myself an actor… of sorts.”

The hair, the glasses, and the scarf are spot on.

Lmao I kind of feel her pain a bit even though I don't act because it just seems like such a hard industry to get ahead in. I feel like anyone who's able to support themselves through acting has more or less made it, because even just getting to that point can be crazy difficult.

Your characterizations and satire is criminally underrated. This was dead on.

Genuinely one of the best actresses I know. Every character is believable because every tiny detail is being paid attention to.

“ as a creative “ As an art school student , that sentence just triggered me to my soul

I'm so glad she is not upset from the Jessica thing, so mature

this is so specific, sounds like it came straight from personal experience

I actually love her so much

Thank you Caitlin for your Groundbreaking, earth-shattering, life-altering performances!

Not in this field, but oddly enough, there are prototypes of these people in different fields. I worked in TV news and also as a teacher, and that was pretty accurate with what I had to hear.

The thumping with the the oscar is what got me lmao

The acting is good but the wig, glasses and scarf also make this lol. Brings me back to my middle school art teachers!!

Haha the rambling at the end to really nail in the narcissism. 😂

Omg the coattail riding anecdote of a random celebrity you’ve never met before is so spot on

I love that as a stage actor she would not even get an Oscar, but got awarded a fake one by her dead friend. (Did she kill him? We will never know.) "Success is not always on the IMDb" is a true fact and something we all need to remember. Daily.

You had me fooled lady!! I thought this was real and I hated it. Now I love you 😂😂

The fact that she isn't on SNL is earth-shattering

This character looks like she’s constantly on the verge of bursting into tears lmao

Her commitment in the costumes Immaculate as always

Love how she holds the statue likes she’s giving an acceptance speech.

You are way too talented 😭😭😭👏👏👏👏👏

Why is this so accurate? 😭

The death grip on the fake Oscar

We love that you`re posting more. I wish I was a director and could give you a movie role. YOU`RE AMAZING.

We need a sequel about this character watching the slap 😂

this one is so good caitlin it's so different from your other characters and soooo specific!!!

Success is on the inside. Indeed.

Quite an acceptance speech…Streep is shedding a tear.

Her name is 1000% Carol. 😂😂😂

Okay but her moving that tiny award across the desk is low key ASMR for me 👂🏾

This is the best pre-Oscar video I never knew I needed! ♡

Nice to see my Performing Arts teacher is doing well after all these years

"Success isn't only on IMDB" Your last credit there is from 1998, got it.

The three different words that all mean the same thing, the oversized glasses, the “I have been saying this for years”, it’s all there and I love it so much

✨The success is inside✨

the surpessed anger and denial is what makes this character

I'm glad we can all agree Jessica Chastain deserves the Oscar for Tammy Faye.

I looove how she can perfectly convey such small undertones of feelings when she does these characters like the bitterness in this one 😆

When she started subtly wiping the Oscar 😂😂

Genius characterisation ✅👏🏽

the outfit is so accurate the glasses, scarf, lipstick and everything 😭😭😭

Her calling them "the oughts" make it so much better.

The overlined red lips is what truly brings this into legend territory

Low key felt motivated by this

That Jessica Chastain joke was really good!!

You can really tell she’s looking into her inner Karen to fully express herself here

Perfect performance except you forgot the "all actors are a family" speech

I spent my childhood as a performer around these types. This is so on point-- her character is 100% someone you would meet IRL.

I worked for this woman for years. This is eerie.

The only thing missing is the weird flex about how she got famous for her knockout role as “Woman Feeding her Cat” in the blockbuster Purina Cat Chow Campaign
