She was eliminated from a talent show 18 years ago and today she became an Oscar-winning actress

It was indeed her!

ended yesterdayAt the 98th Academy Awards, 36-year-old Jesse Buckley defeated many strong opponents such as Sister Shitong and successfully won the Oscar for Best Actress.

Media comments: The least suspenseful battle for best actresses in this generation.

All because before the awards were given, Jesse had already swept the four major trends and was sure of victory.

But for ordinary viewers, it is still surprising.

Jesse Buckley, who is it?

In terms of starlight, it is different from Sister Shitou Tianyuan, and in terms of traffic, it is rarely seen on the hot search list.

therefore,She is also known as the “Amateur Movie Queen”.

But as long as everyone has watched Jesse’s award-winning work “Hamnet”, everyone will take a breath: It’s too cruel…

The Guardian put it even more categorically:

The heart-rending cry she made after her son’s death was enough to win her a gold medal.

In the film, Agnes, played by Jesse, watched helplessly as her son Hamnet died in her arms.

There was a deafening silence for several seconds, and then she burst into a heart-wrenching cry.

After the wailing, there was a long silence.

The bulging veins, the silent despair, the splashing tears…

I used to see writers describe grief as like a tide, but now I suddenly understood.

A huge change comes just like a tidal wave. You cry for help, choke on water, have a clogged throat, swollen lungs, and make no sound.

Later, director Zhao Ting told reporters:

This scene was not prearranged, but came from Jesse’s mother’s instinct.

“This moment transcends past, present and future.”

After listening,I can’t help but admire Director Zhao’s vicious vision.

In 2021, after she won two statuettes, she devoted herself to the adaptation of the “Hamnet” novel.

The moment the script was finalized, Zhao Ting knew that the heroine must be Jesse Buckley.

“She has the spirit of a witch about her.”

But the strange thing is that the character Jesse played at the time had nothing to do with “Elf”.

Instead, the media summarized her role as a “misbehaving” mother.

In “Wild Rose”, she is a single mother who has just been released from prison, but struggles with her musical dream and family responsibilities.

In “Chernobyl,” she played a firefighter’s wife who unknowingly exposed her unborn baby to radiation while comforting her dying husband.

In “The Daughter of the Darkness”, she is another mother who falls in love with an older scholar and gradually destroys her family and life.

To be honest, none of these characters are likeable. They are contradictory, struggling, and awkward.

But asZhao Ting’s accurate evaluation of Jesse:

Few have touched upon such a broad spectrum of emotions, or shown such a willingness to be obnoxious in order to explore the more difficult aspects of human nature.

Someone once complained that Jesse had a popular face.

It is not very recognizable, and can even be said to have “no star flavor”.

But Jesse thinks it’s great. The cast of characters allows her to avoid this person in her works, and she can be unpredictable in different roles.

“Acting is not about filling yourself with roles, but about using abundant empathy to resonate.”

Delicate, gentle, moisturizing and silent.

Whenever reporters ask Jesse about the secret of her acting skills, she always likes to answer with a simple sentence:

“My job is to be a human being.”

Trials, experiences, ups and downs, and poetry in the dark are all indispensable.

Jesse’s childhood was tucked away among the glacial lakes and sandstone peaks of County Kerry.

His mother is a vocal coach, and his father is a poet who runs an old bar in the resort.

Sometimes when I drink too much, I like to recite a few scattered poems:

“The dim light of the blue star hanging low in the morning light awakens a ray of immortal sadness in our hearts.”

Influenced by this, Jesse loved singing and performing since childhood.

In 2008, after graduating from high school, she participated in a reality show that would cast a character in “Oliver Twist.”

She passed five levels and defeated six generals, and finally came in second place.

But in the entertainment industry, no one will remember second place.

The host put it bluntly: “A lot of talented people are unknown, so Jesse will completely disappear.”

At that time, the program team asked her to be the substitute for the champion, but Jesse waved her hand and left.

She went to star in small musicals, earning 300 pounds a week, and could not afford the rent.

So after every performance, I had to walk home, which took at least two hours one way.

The wind in London ruffled her hair, she hummed a soft song, and the birds talked to her.

To make ends meet, she also sang jazz in underground bars.

Jesse’s voice is lazy and mellow, like Tom Ford’s coffee and rose perfume, like the raindrops sliding down the glass window on a rainy day.

One day, a tyrannical “big brother” decided to sponsor Jesse to attend the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.

But this book was not a smooth read.

In order to pay the rent, Jesse took on private jobs and sang while attending classes. He was warned by the school and faced dropping out of school.

Her anxiety level at that time was no different than being told three months before her defense: How about changing the question.

Fortunately, a teacher gave her a book called “Fuck It: The Ultimate Spiritual Path”, which contained this sentence:

“Most of the things we worry about don’t really matter. Realizing that is where freedom begins.”

Jessie survived until graduation and officially began her acting career.

She starred in The Tempest at Shakespeare’s Globe Theater and in the West End’s Henry V opposite Jude Law.

In 2017, she ushered in her film debut “Beast”.

On the first day of filming, the first sentence out of the director’s team’s mouth was:

“Where did you find such a good actor?”

Jesse’s appearance is not stunning, but he can captivate people with his emotions.

Some film critics likened this kind of acting to “deep sea diving”:

“She explores the characters with you and discovers the essence of the story together.”

Jesse would record and describe his dreams in detail.

The same soft music will be played on a loop on the set.

I would carry a pregnant belly prop and walk in the forest until the moss stained my skirt…

Director Zhao Ting summarized: “She used irrational techniques to create a collective unconsciousness on the set.”

It’s immediate in terms of acting, but meaningless in terms of heat.

Without explosive hot search traffic, it is difficult to see a strong fan base.

Even on the night when she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, the most discussed thing was the Dior sky blue silk dress she wore like a quilt.

But Jesse, just like that, swept through the entire awards season.

Recently, her new work “Dark Bride” was released, paired with “Batman”Christian Bale.

The bride played by Jesse has her hair flying out of her head, roaring angrily, and the corners of her mouth are splattered with ink stains, like gunshot wounds.

However, Jesse smiled bitterly: “No one wants me to be in this movie.”

“I mean, on the studio side. I don’t do Instagram, and I’m probably the least attractive candidate at the box office. The safety issue or the risk… it’s very difficult for them.”

Director Maggie Gyllenhaal asserted:

“I couldn’t do it without her.”

Traffic, popularity, appeal, and hot searches have all become the primary factors for people to evaluate movies.

But there is something very “amateur” about Jesse that brings us back to the essence of movies and emotions.

As Guardian film critic Peter Bradshaw rightly said:

“Unpretentious yet charming.”

When the noise and impetuosity subside, content and strength will naturally reign supreme.

Oscar-winning actress Jesse Buckley is 36 years old.

She is tight-lipped about her private life, except that her husband is a mental health worker and their daughter is only 8 months old.

While being interviewed by the media, Jesse’s eyes would fly to the garden outside from time to time, where the spring breeze warmed the endless flowers.

“My job is to make people feel something, rather than become detached, disconnected and indifferent.”

Her voice was slow, like she was humming some kind of jazz music.
