Not being salty, but what are the requirements to get a star on the walk of fame nowadays?

Don’t think the awards mean much these days, because the choices in the past 5 years were questionable at times… She has some decent movies in her portfolio. Guess that’s the primary reason. That or being influential and etc

She’s been nominated for the Academy Award 5 times. Will probably be 6 this year. There is a very short list of people in HISTORY of cinema who have achieved that. She will most likely get a 6th nomination for “Arrival”-a brilliant sci-fi movie which she carried that has already made over 150 million dollars on a very little budget. Movies that aren’t franchises NEVER pull that kind of money anymore, let alone movies with a woman over 40 as the savior of the world.

Her first big “hit” Enchanted also was huge at the global box office and is now considered a classic Disney film when no one even knew who the hell she was. She isn’t the child of another industry person nor did she grow up with economic privilege. She’s a genuine triple treat who can sing and dance for real and not “fake” sing and dance like some of her peers. Also see: The Muppets. She’s the only salvageable thing about American Hustle. She should have already won the Oscar twice for both Junebug (she was legit robbed for that one) and The Fighter. That doesn’t even touch The Master, Doubt, Her, Julie and Julia, Miss Pettigrew Lives For the Day, Big Eyes and Nocturnal Animals. Though the films have been critically very mixed, she’s still going to go down as one of the only woman alongside Margot Kidder and Noel Neill to star in more than one Superman film. If they make a sequel to Man of Steel, she will officially be in as many Superman movies as Lois Lane as Margot Kidder and Chris Reeve were.

I get thinking that sometimes people get these things without it being earned. (I’m not sure how Ryan Reynolds got one.). But THIS woman most definitely has earned the recognition without people being snarky about it. The only real question is why it took them so damn long to give it to her while they were rewarding other people who weren’t half as talented.

I didn't know Amy Adams was born in Italy ❤

Looked up her wiki and she didn’t move to the US until she was 8. Also after he left the army her dad became a semi professional body builder and her mom sung in restaurants.

Actually pretty sure it was her mother who became the bodybuilder and her father who sang in restaurants.

Adams’ mother is gay and she divorced her father when Amy was a kid. They were in a strict Mormon environment so they all left the church (or were kicked out most likely) after the divorce.

Adams’ mother tried to get custody of her kids but the court denied her custody because she was gay. Amy’s father couldn’t afford to support all 7 children so the kids were split up and lived with different people. Amy lived with various family and friends in high school. After she turned 18, She eventually moved across the country to live with her mother.

This is why, btw, people find it super uncomfortable when talk shows/interviews repeatedly bring up that she worked at Hooters as a teen. She was legitimately poor and needed the $ to buy a car.

It’s also why its bullshit that people give her shit for saying that she doesn’t always want to ask for more $ or talk about $ publicly and would rather her salary remain private. Unlike a lot of these other privileged ass white celebs who grew up wealthy, privileged and/or came up through nepotism or went to an Ivy League School or Juilliard….Adams couldn’t afford an education and she grew up legitimately poor. She was one of 7 kids and they didn’t have much. She is aware of what it means to be poor and, I imagine, feels tacky talking about millions of dollars and then complaining about her salary when her own family are still leading pretty humble lives. When you know what it really means to be poor….you have a greater understanding of economic privilege.

Also, unlike a lot of her peers, she married a “regular” guy and he takes care of their daughter while she works. Her husband isn’t a billionaire hotel mogul or another actor or a producer. She’s the bread winner for her family. She’s also a supporter of charities/schools that impact LGBT youth and it’s not hard to know why. Amy Adams is 100 times better than most of fandoms white faves FYI.

Holy shit! I didn’t know any of that. Well I knew she was poor growing up and was married to a regular guy. But that’s about it. I’ve never heard the hooters story. It’s like when the media attack Amber Rose for stripping at 15 when she did it to feed her siblings.

Yeah. For years, interviewers (almost always male) bring up that she worked at Hooters. It’s the piece of trivia she seems to never be able to escape bc God forbid we ever let women just do what they have to do without making them answer for it later. Also credit to @cbrownjc because she’s the one YEARS and years ago who called (way way before the DCEU was even a thing) that Amy Adams was special, not like the rest of them and should, if the opportunity ever arose, have a chance to play Lois Lane. Like…she called it like 9 years ago.

GOSH the DCEU leading ladies are so authentic and vibrant and amazing. And it’s REAL inclusion- regardless of skin color, ethnicity, regardless of being victims of abuse, orientation of every kind, age, body types. Now this is REAL girl power!

rad shit lois lane has canonically done in the justice league cinematic universe, and reasons I will hear no criticisms of her:

“When I first met Henry, we read together for these roles, and the second time he was wearing the Superman suit,” recalls Amy Adams, who plays Lois Lane in the series. “So, my initial impression was that he actually was Superman. I had to learn eventually that he wasn’t.” [x]

I know everyone is excited to see the strong DC female characters like Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn get to the big screen. But rewatching Man of Steel, I don’t think Amy Adams’ Lois Lane gets enough credit.She stands up to government officials, climbs a mountain by herself to get into a Kryptonian ship, uses a blaster to take out several Kryptonians RPG style, and still has time to make out with Supes before his final battle.
