Drop Dead Gorgeous

The internet has remarked that had Amy Adams won an Oscar for Arrival, she would never have starred in such a cinematic mistake, and I disagree. She should’ve won for Arrival obviously, but her star really began to shine in a 1999 masterpiece we fail to talk about as often as we should (see: every day): Drop Dead Gorgeous. In it, Amy Adams plays Leslie Miller, a contestant in the annual Sarah Rose Cosmetics American Teen Princess Pageant. Leslie is dating a football star, Leslie may or may not be pregnant, and Amy Adams’s comedic timing is on-par with the entirety of the stacked cast.
