In every field, there are certain metrics by which success is measured. In football, there is the Super Bowl. In the 100-meter dash, there is the Olympic gold medal. For actors, however, there are the Oscars. “Best Actor” and “Best Actress” winners are Hollywood royalty. Very few actors ever reach such heights.
Whenever a new star emerges, there is talk about if and when they will win the coveted award. Some acting powerhouses have never earned such honors, despite delivering many powerful performances. Actors like Will Smith and Johnny Depp are elite actors who have not won an Oscar. Many people have speculated that Margot Robbie, one of Hollywood’s brightest shining stars, may win an Oscar. Many others feel that she will not.
After examining the most important factors, it seems very likely that Robbie will take home an Oscar at some point in her career. Here are just a few of the reasons why this popular actress will almost certainly receive the Oscar in the near future.
Reason #1: She has the talent
Given Robbie’s astounding beauty, it is easy to assume that she has established herself as a successful actress simply by virtue of her looks. However, this is simply not the case. Robbie’s acting abilities are even more impressive than her beauty.
Some of her most prominent and powerful performances have been in The Wolf of Wall Street, Focus, and The Legend of Tarzan. In each film, Robbie’s performances were singled out as a highlight in the picture. Further, her portrayal of Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad was almost universally praised by critics despite the poor reception of the film overall. In fact, in a cast that included Jared Leto, Will Smith, and Viola Davis, Robbie was the one singled out for the greatest acclaim.
Reason #2: Hollywood is all about young stars at the moment
Some detractors of Robbie’s Oscar aspirations may hold that her age will prevent the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences from taking her as seriously as older actresses. This is clearly false, however, as the Academy has recognized several incredible performances from young stars in recent years.
The past two actresses to win the “Academy Award for Best Actress” are Emma Stone and Brie Larson. These two are remarkably similar to Robbie in that they are beautiful, young, and saw a meteoric rise in Hollywood after a breakout performance. Stone became a star with her performance in Easy A, Larson broke out with her Oscar-winning performance in Room, and Robbie has enjoyed incredible fame since The Wolf of Wall Street.
Reason #3: She is getting prominent roles
Many talented actors and actresses may never earn an Oscar for the simple fact that they are not cast in big enough roles. Robbie does not have this issue, however, as she has starred in blockbuster after blockbuster in recent years.
Further, Robbie has an incredibly busy schedule ahead of her, as she has been booked for several massive productions. These include portraying Maid Marian in Marian, Tonya Harding in I, Tonya and Harley Quinn in Gotham City Sirens, a spin-off from Suicide Squad that is being fast-tracked largely because of Robbie’s performance.
Final Thoughts
Given all of the above factors, it seems to be only a matter of time. Not only is Robbie a talented actress who is garnering non-stop starring roles in high profile pictures, she is also the type of actress Hollywood seems to love at the moment. Her skills and work ethic have brought her tremendous success thus far, and she will likely reach the pinnacle of her profession in short order.
