FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: Kelly Rowan and Emily Osment
Category: Outstanding Supporting/Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie
Role: Kris and Taylor Hillridge (Cyberbully)
I don’t want to belittle this movie too much, because the subject matter is about as hefty as an ABC Family movie is going to get, and if kids respond to it, then who cares, right? But, um, maybe this scene, where she explains to a gay classmate that she has it worse than he does, because he’s ACTUALLY gay but she’s not really a slut, wasn’t such a good idea. Obviously she’s in a bad place, but maybe just don’t include a “bullying is less terrible if it’s TRUE” loophole in your movie about how bullying can drive kids to suicide?
Also maybe they could have come up with something other than “I CAN’T GET THE CAP OFF” when it came to foiling Taylor’s suicide attempt. Just a thought.
