Anne Hathaway.
You have earned success and an Oscar with your Broadway-caliber voice and a performance for the ages in Les Mis. You have also pissed a lot of people off in the process and are, for some reason, befuddled by this notion.
Allow me to help clear this up for you…
The heartfelt emotion you try to showcase in each of your exponentially more awkward, self-indulgent press interviews and acceptance speeches is transparently feigned. The demeanor you try to pass off as humble and appreciative is painfully disingenuous and seemingly contrived.
The common word and theme here is: TRY. You keep trying to say and do things that will evoke a positive and adoring reaction from people when in fact you are achieving the opposite.
People don’t like people who try so hard; it’s fake and ‘surface’ and reveals your true, poorly masked insecurities. These repeated, desperate attempts at authenticity and “down-to-earth-ness” must stop, Anne. Just stop. STOP IT NOW. It shouldn’t be that hard to just “be.”
In case you still have lingering questions or confusion, I have included the below photos to try and further emphasize my point. Note the differences…
