Internet hack claims 2-time academy award winner has done nothing profound in their acting career, and yet somehow expects to have the rest of their comment treated as if they know what they're talking about.

@FizzBit - clearly, you are unfamiliar with Ms. Thompson's work. If you saw The Children Act alone, you wouldn't boldly state that she's "done nothing profound". There's a reason why she's a two time Oscar winner and three time BAFTA Awards winner.

To each their own. Is it her fame or her looks? I remember her on 'Cheers' and such way back in the early 90s. now her hair is white. Funny how time flies, isn't it?
Me too. This 'Mrs. Robinson' stuff is a bit warped. Chasing a 29 y/o when you're 62? Crazy. And the same goes for older men chasing younger women who are half their age. There comes a time in your life when you have to grow up and act/think your age. These May-December 'romances' aren't real.

These are independent films, not even based in the US

Hello Bigyen,
I don’t know her politics.
yes the two movies I mentioned were melodramas, with much much better acting and writing, classy and intelligent, hardly chick movies.
FizzBit
What?
Sense and Sensibility and Howards End?
Chick movies extraordinaire! Voted in by the wives of the Hollywood elite.
Gimmie a break. Id prefer watching Cat On A Hot Tin Roof with Elizabeth and Paul, or Raintree County with Elizabeth and Clift over and over before any of this mind dumbing drama.

Right about that time she guested on 'Cheers' as 'children's performer' Nanny Gee. That was hilarious.

Emma Thompson seems like she's pushing the same agenda Madonna is pushing.
They talk about female empowerment, feminism, while at the same time seeking male attention and energy. All that female empowerment is making women never accept their age or life decisions. Always blame men for not meeting their high standards and demands.
A woman who's a 5 on the scale in western feminism country, she thinks she deserves a man that's a 8 or 9. When that doesn't happen, it's the Men's fault. No good men left apparently.

This is why money talks, when you have it you can do whatever you want, she has the right to be a hypocrite when you have cash, you can afford it.

Looks like an actress who had been a zero and wanted to get some headlines to revive her career. When all fells in the hollyweird industry the best thing to do is act in a movie showing a sex scene, that will get people to not only listen but want to watch. She is done!!

Much Ado About Nothing (1993) - Emma Thomson was stunning! - A charming, beautiful & charismatic woman, at any age, both on and off the screen.

Oh luvvies.

Love her smile & laugh. The headline and article are to titillate interest in Emma Thompson and her continuing to create roles for herself at 62.
However, any titillation diminished considerably when additional topics of Bill Cosby and, … Lena Dunham were tagged on. (Will skip dinner now.)
Looking forward to Emma’s new film. -GW
Can you imagine the response if a man was swapped for Emma & a guy wanted to experience all he missed it wouldnt be "celebrated" it would be quickly labelled misogynistic....such is the weird world of today.....

Emma Thompson's net worth currently stands at 40million USD. Just to put things in perspective.

If she finds it fantastically hard to look at her own nude body imagine the trauma of a man forced to do so.
I wouldn't mind having a squint at Emma T in the buff. Very fine-looking woman, and has been for decades.

Oh nuts I thought it said Emma Watson.

I don't see why the full nudity would be needed to make the point or the message other than it gets better press coverage.
This though is the greatest myths of modern times.
Come on folks, the female body and male body has been through period after period century after century of art etc.. depicting the "ideal" female or male body or look going all the way back to antiquity.
Egyptian Pharoah, Greek gods, Roman gods Emperors their wives, etc... All overly masculine or feminine exaggerating the parts seen at the time to be the "ideal" look for men or women.

Rare occasion I will agree completely with Zichi. Talented actress, sadly typical champagne sipping hypocrite on many issues.
HBJ
LOL Her Oscars would disagree with you.
Did you search for 'Emma Thompson'??

The storyline about aging women seeking adventures that they shunned at an earlier age is one that is very common in real life. Divorcees and widows are eager to experience romantic fantasies while they still can.
As for America's Dad, tens of millions of American males grew up with Bill Cosby as Carole model. Unfortunately, his bad habits have been widely emulated, and date rape and drugging are still out of control.

Out curiosity I took a look at Emma’s IMDB page. She’s done nothing profound in her career so I’m guessing this is just Hollywood pushing for her to get some kind of useless award.
FizzBit
So this is a “if you can’t beat’em, join’em” story?
Im more interested in the independent dystopian/Sci-Fi films. This is just more Hollywood garbage.
