Rosamund Pike was AMAZING in the movie, she has to be nominated for Best Actress

[cheleine]

I'm sure if it wasn't for Rosamund Pike this film wouldn't turn out so good. She is a such brilliant actress. And she was so perfect for the role. I can't imagine anyone else playing Amy better than her.

[cleoz]

Such a brilliant film. And her ghostly narration is just perfect; it really guides you throughout the film.

[Starclassgaming]

I think this movie needs to be nominated for Best Actress, Best Director (Possibly Best Picture), Best Score and Best Adapted Screenplay. 

[EmmaMaryRobertson]

Not "buying" the diary Amy is something I could definitely relate to and Rosamund's performance was one of the finest of the decade.
She was a shapeshifter of the highest order and not the sort of person I would want to be married to in a gazillion years.

[zoricav]

I love her, she deserves an  Oscar, unforgettable character !

[KaliTheFour]

Fincher is such an incredible director, the level of detail and the way of mixing genres in his movies... oh god. He's getting better and better with each new movie. And if he doesn't win the Oscar this time... damn, I don't wanna think about this possibility.

[OrianaMata]

I love how much she sounds like an outsider of it all. The way she speaks about her journey into the character, and her relationship with the director. She sounds just overwhelmed about everything, but with enough guts to take the challenge. She’s an amazing performer.

[Deaznam]

Her voice matches extremely good on the role !

[jameslphoward]

I do think that this woman should be nominated for an Oscar- a very brilliant performance on a grand scale.

[jokesterr]

Absolutely! If she isn't nominated because of that "the academy forgot since the movie came out too early" bullshit there's gonna be an uproar

[yasaswy]

Iconic characters that is as close to Heath's Joker..

[bichnguyen]

Rosamund is very intelligent, articulate and calm

[anothersignupyayyay]

OH GOSH I'M IN LOVE WITH HER VOICE

[AA-qbni]

I honestly think that Gone Girl is one of the most amazing movies of all time such great character aswell

[Q.Q.]

Very intelligent, thoughtful, emotionally astute, introspective woman, she seems to be...

[kavinab]

Should of won it . Her performance is absolutely amazing

[adamtaucher]

It still confuses me to this day how she did not win the Oscar. I get it, Julianne Moore's performance was really good, but Pike had to convey a variety of different personas and emotions all within a limited amount of screen time. The Academy probs thought her performance was too "out there".

[blavia]

even though she won't win the oscar, she will probably get great roles now since she's on everybody's radar.

[savannahlighthouse]

Rosamund is so utterly charming and very intelligent, I could honestly listen to her talk for hours. :) Anybody else notice how she seemed a bit nervous in this interview? She seems short of breath in some parts :/
