Totally. She has had so many peaks, it’s unreal. Love watching pre-Ray of Light Madonna having no idea what amazingness is to come.

@@yoni5570 An Oscar nomination would have probably changed some trajectory and may not have even led to Ray Of Light

Ray of Light for me is my all time favorite album. The concert was phenomenal, I have never heard the audience scream as we were walking out of the arena. The energy that night was amazing. It was her birthday and Guy Ritchie brought out a birthday cake and we sang happy birthday.

Amen!

advocate,activist, philanthropist,humanitarian too

A poet?

@@johndelossantos7678 yes a poet!!!

A trendsetter

And yet was robbed an Oscar nomination

madonna is ok in evita. she still couldn't convince voters to vote for her for an oscar nomimation. golden globe voted for her and evita over frances mcdormand and fargo is the biggest joke that the golden globe ever made. all the 5 women that were nominated for an oscar that year deserve their spot over Madonna, and rightfully so.

its political, evita was not even nominated in best picture

Madonna can't act

​@@minavamp2811Frances McDormand was totally weak in Fargo. Her other two Oscars are well-deserved but not this one

@@davidmuller9938 obviously you don't know what acting is. it's so much harder to pull off doing comedy than doing drama. that's why most actors and actresses won Oscars for playing drama than playing comedy. mcdormand in fargo was one of the best performances in the 90's hands down. that year she gave the best performance, better than blethyn, scott thomas, watson, and keaton. all the 5 oscar nominees for best actress gave a much better performance than madonna by a mile, and the Oscars made the right choice by nominating them and left out madonna,

that's very true, its always been her trouble in film

She had JUST had Lourdes "Lola"

Hollywoodsteve totally agree Plus a lot of people dont like madonna and with most people if they dont like someone they simply dont want them to win even if they deserved it. I'm not a big fan of madonna but even i took my hat off to her in this role. She did an amazing job and that's what this is about. It doesnt matter who she is, it doesnt matter that she's madonna, it doesnt matter what personal feelings towarsds her are, when people are watching a movie they need to learn to forget who the person is and look at the role and how good the actress was at interpreting it.

They did everything they could to destroy her acting career.

Nobody is obliged to looking at us else than the way we a(ppea)re, unless we have a natural gift to pretend being somebody else, which is obligatory for acting especially. Evita was basically an epic music video with Madonna playing much of herself, while benefiting from her musical background and showcase skills. In such strategical case it is usually very unlikely to be _seen differently,_ whether you are famous or not. I remember seeing the movie upon its European theatrical release, and pretty much recall commercial screening of the music video "You Must Love Me" ahead the film. So right from the start I was so-to-speak preset to watch Madonna musician, instead Evita Perón(ification). Guess, another strategy game to suit Madonna's singing, much less though then her main mission on the screen. In other words, just because one tries harder or even hardest (which was obvious in her casting for this part in particular), it doesn't make them the best of all but only themselves. If Madonna was "robbed from the Oscars" as speculated by her wishful thinking fanbase, we would definitely know by now, after 25 years later of her acting skills in (no) progress. And with all due respect, I wouldn't expect the opposite in any favor, either her own as a just aspiring actress or only those with potential for audiences. Anyway, *winning an award in the arts is a gift in exchange for being gifted, not a race to compete, otherwise each and every nominee would have to do one and the same homework to make it work like that.* Her die-hard fans should thus stop focusing on counting Madonna's list of accolades and better plead guilty for credits of their own, because it's actually them who made her fame happen, not the other way around. The only thing they can't help her with as it seems is her notorious lack of acting skills. Simply because she's not gifted in that field.

You're completely correct. Her performance was flawless. They didnt even nominate her.

Haven't ever seen Evita but she must have killed it beating eventual Oscar winner Frances McCormack in Fargo who was awesome. Need to see this movie

+B Moto Fargo is a masterpiece

+littleb42 Absolutely!!!!! but what a coincidence that in that year, the Academy only chose independent films mmmmmm BS!!!!

mrfrogbutt1 No, it's a nasty racist flick.

I think it's The Advocate For Change Award from GLAAD

considering who she was running against it's truly remarkable!

oh yeah obviously the gloden globe made the biggest mistake ever to vote for madonna and Evita over frances mcdormand and fargo, when hailed by most film critics as one of the most acclaimed performances and movies of the 90's. no wonder when comes to the Oscars, voters recognize who really deserve the oscar nomination, and madonna name is no where on the list and rightfully so.

@@minavamp2811 Yeah cause critics opinions are the only ones that counts, Madonna put in so much work to playing Eva Peron and she did a fantastic job and Evita is an Amazing Film, She deserved this.. No one will change my mind… plus her version of Don’t cry for me Argentina was also awesome…

She is a movie icon!

she beat barbara and glen close. wow

giovuolo123 Im shocked she didn't get nominated for her acting in this movie considering it was one of her best.

+giovuolo123 Crazy for You was not written by Madonna,so even if it had been nominated she would not have received anything. The Academy does not like her. She has been too controversial for them.

Robin Quincy Nobody good ever wins it. I do think some of her songs should have gotten nominated.

+giovuolo123 Madonna was too controversial for this time.

And now Gaga is nominated..

its political. why will Oscar give a major award to the character of Evita Peron.

They were actually broken up here. She just had him there as her escort.

+TRAPPER JOHNSON didn't know that thank you :)

MarioCicconex beautigul yes

She wasn't eligible. Academy rules state that the song nominated has to play during the movie, that doesn't include the end credits. Masterpiece only played in WE in the end credits, making it ineligible

+KrueMann1992 no, if that were true, most songs wouldn't be eligible. The rule is the song has to play during the body of the movie or the first music cue (the instant the film fades to black).

Oh that song is wonderful.

@@MediaLover194 exactly. Masterpiece is nr 2 in the end credits. Sadly. Stupid rule by the way. So man or Muppet won the Oscar. Pffff

The Oscars are for Actors. Each representative from each industry (music or film) should know his/her place.

@@Martin-hv8io she acted her ass off in that movie. Did you even see it???

@@Martin-hv8io what a pathetic world you live in !

the big difference is cher can act while madonna can not.

@@minavamp2811 Madonna did a very good job with the material, and I am not that big of a Madonna fan, but what she did in the movie took a lot of work.

Marilyn Monroe had been nominated once before for acting in "Bus Stop," which was the first time many critics took her seriously as an actress. Monroe was clearly a much better actress and comedienne than Madonna, but Madonna did a good job in "Evita." Neither ever got a nomination from the Academy, however.

As of now... Madonna can still get another one.

Madonna work really hard for this film. She lost the role to Evita multiple times and kept on trying to get it since 1986. If they waited any longer, she would be unbelievable as Evita. She was 38 years old here.

To be fair, Glenn Close also once lost an Oscar to Cher!

Madonna deserves it! Fuck off! What have you done with your life?

Madonna deserved it. She acted, sang, learnt to dance tango, changed her persona dramatically and changed outfits multiple times. She deserved it.

@@agrey2986 we Madonna were teen here, my mother's group filmed this and I am UN only one in the twenty first Century HISTORY sound.

Cheyenne Cook Andrew Lloyd Weber was on site. When she sang Dont Cry For Me Argentina, he said My god she is better than Patti Lupone. Madonna made you feel each word.

Tory Aiden Mann I have no doubt of ALW’s reaction. As I said she gave everything she had to this role once it finally got out of development hell and into production

movie and theater are very different. Madonna is the better Evite.

@@thomasmulroney7391 Andrew Webber would never say such a thing. And Madonna was not his choice for the movie role. He said after the movie was released when he was interviewed by Barbara Walters that 'She plays Madonna really".

oh yeah obviously the gloden globe made the biggest mistake ever to vote for madonna and Evita over frances mcdormand and fargo, when hailed by most film critics as one of the most acclaimed performances and movies of the 90's. no wonder when comes to the Oscars, voters recognize who really deserve the oscar nomination, and madonna name is no where on the list, and all 5 women that got nominated that year deserve their spot over madonna, and rightfully so.

@@minavamp2811 MADONNA WAS THE BEST. NEXT!

Jim Carrey made the same mistake. Treating it like it's destined to happen turns off voters. Kind of like Hillary Clinton (and no I'm not a Trump supporter).

“Fargo” is not a comedy and it certainly isn’t a musical. It was in the wrong category.

+doormatt2000 She was so rude to Nicole?

+doormatt2000 so true!!!!

Way better!

Nicole is better

We madonna achieved world class.

Accepting her Golden Globe as the Queen she is! Her participation making that picture is and will always be iconic and recognised for her effort and her hard work. Long live the Queen.

AyPapi Mercado Omg me too!

well, MAdonna is a great actress.., look she acted so humble.
