Elle Fanning Believes Genre Movies Deserve Award-Worthy Recognition
In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, actress Elle Fanning made a bold statement about genre films. She suggested that movies from these categories are just as deserving of recognition and accolades as any other type of film.
Fanning pointed to the success of her own sci-fi franchise, Predator: Badlands, and the critically-acclaimed comedy-drama Sentimental Value. However, she also acknowledged that many genre releases often go unrecognized, including recent films like Prey and Smile 2.
The actress hopes that this trend will change in the future. "So we are broadening it, and I think that's important," Fanning said. "Or I feel like we are pushing towards opening it up a little bit more. Just because it's genre, I don't think that people should be biased."
Fanning shared her own experience playing two characters in Predator: Badlands, which presented both an artistic challenge and a physical one. The actress had to balance comedic timing with action sequences, while also working closely with co-star Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi.
Despite the challenges, Fanning praised the film's success, particularly in terms of its recognition for female-led roles. She cited the successes of films like Everything Everywhere All at Once and The Substance, which highlighted her own colleague Demi Moore's outstanding performance.
Fanning believes that recognizing genre films is crucial for promoting creativity and innovation in the industry. "I don't agree with that: a film is a film!" she said. "It's not about whether it's sci-fi or drama – it's about storytelling and acting."
As Fanning continues to advocate for greater recognition of genre films, her own success in Predator: Badlands serves as a testament to the potential for critically-acclaimed stories in these categories.

, but I think it's still important to acknowledge that genre movies aren't always easy to market or get attention from awards committees. I mean, have you seen some of the films that win Oscars? They're usually dramas or historical epics... not exactly sci-fi or horror flicks 
.
. I do think it's cool that Fanning's advocating for more diversity in genres, though - it could lead to some fresh perspectives and ideas coming into the industry.
! I mean, think about it - sci-fi and horror movies can be just as emotionally resonant as rom-coms or dramas. Elle Fanning's comments hit home for me because I love how she's pushing for more recognition of these types of films. It's not just about the genre label; it's about great storytelling and performances, right? 
As a fan of everything from sci-fi epics to indie comedies, I think we should celebrate all kinds of movies that push boundaries and take risks. Maybe we can get more people on board with Fanning's vision if we start having more conversations like this! 
. I think it's great that she's pushing for more recognition because, let's be real, some of these films are absolute masterpieces 
. And I love how she's citing those female-led roles like Everything Everywhere All at Once - it's amazing to see women killing it on screen! 
But at the same time, I can see why some people might think that genre movies are overlooked... I've seen so many awesome films in these categories that didn't even get the Oscar buzz they deserved 
. But hey, with Fanning speaking out and her own film doing so well, maybe we'll start to see more recognition for genre films soon! 
. It's crazy that some people still think sci-fi and comedy dramas aren't "serious" enough to be taken seriously 
.
. And Demi Moore's performance in The Substance? WOW 
.
. We need to push beyond our biases and just appreciate great storytelling, regardless of what label we put on it 
. Fingers crossed Elle's advocacy will make a real difference in the industry 
!
, genre movies are often underrated but they can be super interesting & innovative too! I mean, predator badlands was lit 
and the whole sci-fi thing got people talking. And Demi Moore's performance in The Substance was insane 
. But Fanning is right, it's about the storytelling and acting, not what genre it is 
. I mean, it's not just about the action or special effects - it's about how well the story is told and the acting 
. I mean, take sci-fi like Predator: Badlands - it's not just about explosions and aliens, it's about exploring ideas and world-building. And comedies like Sentimental Value have a way of making you laugh and think at the same time 
. The thing is, awards seasons are still pretty traditional, but I think we're starting to see more recognition for genre films 
. It's all about celebrating great storytelling and performances, regardless of what kind of movie it is 
i swear it's life changing! the guac is so creamy and the bread is always fresh 
what's your go-to brunch order tho? btw, i've been thinking of starting a new project for my blog where i review all these random movies that no one ever talks about
