Do you think it is completely only acting or there has to be at least some real chemistry and real feelings for such a performance? My friends were saying such acting is not possible and there has to be a real spark. I think they are great actors, extraordinarily talented and put up a lovely well-choreographed performance. .
They clearly have great chemistry but both have said that it was a performance. It was certainly worthy of their nominations.
Good actors can fake it. Elaine Benes (fictional character in TV sitcom "Seinfeld") said that in one memorable episode.
Dearie... You know you know it; Now everybody knows you know it. However, the link to Benes was tossed in, because I couldn't jolly well give the link to the actual scene where she is telling Jerry the history of fakery.... one old drama writer....(from As You Like it) puts it: All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; ....(& as Elaine Benes would put it) yada .. yada..
This was just like they going through the motions and they look like they're hiding their true feelings... Best video and true affections can be felt is the Vegas one. It's a beautiful duet by Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga on the Oscar Nite. Wonderful and Brilliant
