5 reasons to be obsessed with Scarlett Johansson
Johansson just got two Oscar nominations and became the highest paid actress of the year.
2019 was the year of Scarlett Johansson and everything seems to indicate that 2020 will be too. Not many child actors manage to become big Hollywood stars when they are adults (perhaps because they stop being adorable, or they let power, fame and money go to their heads and ruin their lives), some disappear later adolescence and have tragic lives that break the hearts of all of us who grew up with them.
Scarlett Johansson is different, she started out with small child roles and movies, but she made good decisions throughout her career, which led her to get more and better projects and, eventually, to become a Marvel hero with two nominations to the Oscar the same year.
It is clear that Johansson was always talented, but with so much competition, an actor who really wants to become a movie star has to offer something more, which is why some have all the studios fighting for them. Timothée Chalamet, for example, has a carefree air, a very cool style and a perfect hairstyle that has won both men and women. Scarlett has an incredible ability to go from one role to another as if it were the easiest thing in the world, a lot of sex appeal and the ability to convince us that we are not seeing her on screen, and that is the mark of a great actor .
This is an actress with a great career, but 2019 took her to a different level, where there are the great legends and the actors who do not need a last name for us to identify them (just like Brad Pitt, she would not need to wear a badge with his name on the Oscar food), and everything seems to indicate that things are only going to grow from now on.
These are 5 reasons why this is her decade and you should be more obsessed with it.
She is one of the few actors to have gotten two nominations in the same year.
Scarlett Johansson has just joined the very select club of actors who did such a good job that she at the Academy had no choice but to nominate them twice in the acting categories in the same year. In her case, it is Jojo Rabbit, by Taika Waititi, and Marriage Story, by Noah Baumbach, who earned her the recognition. Even if she doesn't win, she already has a place in the Oscar history books.
She managed to break the pay gap
In 2019, Johansson became the highest paid actress of the year, thanks to her contract with Marvel and her solo film of her as Black Widow. She still hasn't managed to outperform some of the highest paid men, but her work is so valuable that studios are willing to pay her more than many other talented women, and that's just the beginning for her.
She got her first solo movie of hers given to Black Widow
For some strange reason, until Avengers: Endgame, Marvel had not given him his own movie Black Widow, all the main Avengers already had one in which they told us their story outside the group, but, apparently, the studio did not think it was It was necessary to tell the story of one of its best characters, until they sacrificed it in Endgame and realized that it was much more popular than they thought.
Black Widow will not be the first Marvel heroine to have her own movie, but if she is the most anticipated and, unlike Captain Marvel, she does not have haters.
Two words: Jojo Rabbit
Yes, Jojo Rabbit is the best thing she has done in her entire career. How Jojo's mom shows us what our own mothers did for us when we were children without our knowing it. On the one hand, she shows us a strong woman willing to do anything to make her son happy, on the other, a worried mother who is on the verge of tears when she thinks about the future.
Strength, courage, vulnerability, fear, pain and courage, Scarlett shows us the full range of emotions with a single character who is moving and who steals all eyes every time she appears on the scene, and it is not exactly because of the colorful costumes of her.
He says what he thinks, it hurts whoever hurts
It is clear that she is not a product of Hollywood, she has a mind of her own and does not care what others think of her. Johansson showed great loyalty by speaking out in favor of Woody Allen, who was accused of sexual abuse, and although it is a complicated case, she prefers to tell the truth and defend her friends even though that may generate criticism against her.
