I don't think the Alicia hate is just about Fassy - I mean, she's easy to hate. She's gorgeous looking, her career is taking off like crazy, she's successful, and unlike JLaw or Emma Stone she doesn't come across as accessible or like everyone else.
The Danish Girl looks very oscar baity, but still beautiful. Alicia looks too young for the role IMO. Ben is such a wonderful actor, wish I'd seen his Hamlet back in the day - heard his was one of the best ever.
I'm sure you're right, it's not JUST about Fassy, and yes, she's easy to hate. Things are really going her way right now and she is a bit more of a mystery then a lot of actresses. She has from the start said that she doesn't want to pimp out her private life and be something she's not. And although I really like Emma and Jennifer there's just something a bit annoying about actresses trying to hard to be accessable. Emma is one of a kind, and it comes very easy to Jen, she's a lot of fun, but gets a bit much sometimes. Girls like Taylor Swift that are always trying so hard in interviews to appear a bit dim so people will think she's adorable. That's what I like about Alicia, given she's got that quirky side to her aswell, like the Fallon interview for example, and she is constantly described as fun and easy going, but there's a time and place for it. I like that she's fiercly intelligent and not affraid to show it, she takes her job seriously and doesn't mess about, and I don't get what's wrong with that? I like that there's a dept to her. I wish more women were like that rather then trying to be 'cute' all the time, it get's annoying. Not just in Hollywood, I see it everyday.. I don't want to critizise every other actress out there, I'm just saying I'm glad there are diversity. I think it's great that you can be a fan of certain kind of actresses, if she doesnt float your boat, fine. But there's on point in hating for it, it doesn't make someone a bad person
And yes, it's not just about the Fass, but it's pretty clear that the majority of people that dislikes her are fans of his, there's no denying that. Fans of Kit, Domhnall, Eddie, Henry and so on are really sweet and like Alicia because they can clearly see that she's well liked by their idols, therefore she needs to be a sweet person. Not all Fass fans dislike her though, that's pretty clear. Some got a better bull**** radar then others and don't believe everything they read.
Tonight's the premiere in Venice, excited! In a way it's a shame Eddie won an Oscar last year, it will probably make it harder for him this year, but man does his performance look great!
