Who is the alpha female in Hollywood right now?

[Aegon Spengler]

I don't mean the prettiest. I mean someone pretty who can also carry a whole franchise. Has won an Oscar. Nails the talk-show spots, manages their celebrity without being too much of a disgrace, the whole shebang.

If this was MMA, the rankings would be

Current champ - Jennifer Lawrence​

She has an Oscar and list of good performances that speak for themselves.

Can carry a whole franchise (Hunger Games) by herself.

Has a major hand in another franchise (X-Men).

If she decided to pick up that bow and arrow tomorrow and do another hunger games, it would make a billion dollars. She's wearing the title belt right now.

#1 Contender - Charlize Theron
​

Has an Oscar.

Killed it in Max Max and you can likely bank on her to make a movie a hit.

She gets pretty much any role she wants and makes even crappy movies a lot better.

#2 ScarJoe​

She would be champ but she's still chasing that Oscar.

Is a bankable movie star with tons of great performances.

Big part of the Avengers franchise.

Carried "Lucy" to a box office hit alone. Will likely carry the Black Widow movie to being a hit in spite of Covid, is like the Dan Marino of the top ladies right now, setting records but no ring


These is the top 3 right now IMO you tell me if i'm wrong you go ahead

 

[Oceanmachine]

Charlize Theron

 

[KnightTemplar]

You mean who makes the best sandwiches?

Spoiler

 

[fingercuffs]

Yeah, toss up between J-Law and Charlize. I like both of them but I'd much rather have a beer with J-Law. She's pretty damned funny, and a total clutz.

Charlize, I would not like to get in a fight with, she's pretty damned alpha.

 

[Pittie Petey]

Kris Jenner

 

[SKYNET]

Emma Stone comes to mind. Not really sure about killing the talk show circuit because I dont watch them nor do I give a single fk about them

 

[Fluffernutter]

I assume it's a studio head or producer.

Kathleen Kennedy has more clout in Hollywood than any of the actresses listed above, no matter if you dislike her movies.

Honestly its hard to judge this kind of thing now as the old idea of "movie stars" who carry blockbusters seems to be pretty much dead outside of maybe Tom Cruise and even he had a flop with The Mummy and is making more franchise films.

Johansson has Marvel, Lawrence had the Hunger games, Theron had Mad Max, maybe you could argue Johansson has the edge as Lucy was also a pretty big sucess and that was a film sold mostly on her although Ghost in the Shell didnt do that well.

I think Oscar wise Johanssons problem is when she does "one for her" is often in stuff thats too leftfield? playing a disembodied voice or an alien sex killer isnt exactly the standard path to an oscar. Even Marriage Story I think you could argue was rather too arty and caustic for its own good there.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

How about Angelina Jolie? She's one of the alpha I would think.

 

[Eiffel-sixtyFight]

Emma Stone....

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

I assume it's a studio head or producer.

If were not going by just actresses, she's definitely a very powerful woman in Hollywood.

 

[RowdyLesnar]

Brie Larson

 

[Fluffernutter]

How about Angelina Jolie? She's one of the alpha I would think.

She did a good job on Unbroken.

While we are at it, both of Laura Hillenbrand's books: Seabiscuit and Unbroken became decent movies.

I wonder what she is working on now....

 

[Deleted member 110072]

How about Angelina Jolie? She's one of the alpha I would think.

During the 00's perhaps.

 

[MilesAbove]

All I know is that Tilda Swinton is the intercontinental champ. Workhorse that everyone in the game respects and always kills it... but doesn't get the big-show points because beauty bs.

 

[thetruth2709]

some of you have no idea how the movie "business" works.... if you are a studio head, you look for a "young" girl who has the appeal to carry a franchise for MANY years forward while still looking young (teens are the highest ticket buyers if you dont know) so you have to look for stars who appeal to your larger demographic for now and for the next 10 hopefully 15 years

While I admire and think Charlize and Scarlett are beautiful women as I said you have no idea how the "business" of studios work.

If you are a studio head and have in consideration everything I just mentioned (not your dumb moviegoer extremely limited opinion) the MOST VALUABLE STAR in Hollywood right now is this girl:
