Jennifer Lawrence or Jessica Chastain?

LOL. I'm not as young as Jennifer or as old as Jessica, but I fail to see a huge difference in generational education. Especially between two people who are 13 years apart. Or did you mean, Jessica went to college and Jennifer didn't? Again I fail to see what any of this has to do with their acting.

People just assume that Jessica Chastain deserves to win the Oscar more because she's "classier" than Jennifer Lawrence. I know what she reads and what she likes to watch has nothing to do with her acting, but I just wanted to point out Jennifer Lawrence isn't dumb.

Oh, Jessica Chastain. She understands her character so well. She nails it. However, my favorite of the year (and coincidentally, competition) is Marion Cotillard.

...just like my wife. (But she likes Lawrence more.)

Besides, she's young, and the youth of this generation weren't educated like Jessica Chastain and Kate Hepburn were when they were teens.

Firstly I'm 21 years old so i believe Im part of this generation...

Your statement is ridiculous, you really think its changed that much since Chastain was at School?

Can i also say in regards to University:
I have not gone to Uni, but I studied film,classical history and english literature in College....I would consider myself well educated.

Just because you have a degree does not for one second make you more intelligent. Nowadays anyone can go to Uni, even more so over here in the UK and with the influx of new courses every year. It just doesnt hold the same importance it did 50 years ago.

In regardes to Lawrence V Chastain
I dont think either of them gave the best performances of the year....but I would not mind one of them winning purely because of their overall talent and body of work.
