Dakota Fanning vs Abigail Breslin
 
Who will have the longer career in hollywood?

Fanning is a little older now but she has worked with heavyweights like Sean Penn, Robert De Niro, Denzel Washington, and Tom Cruise.


Abigail Breslin has worked with Jodie Foster and Alan Arkin but her resume is not as polished as Dakota and she seems to play mostly the cute girl.


is their a potential Oscar for one of these girls?

Dakota Fanning. She's already proven as far as I'm concerned. Granted, she hasnt been in much lately, she still continues to deliver fantastic performances.

Abigail Breslin was great in LMS, but I have no desire to see most of the shit she has been in lately... American Girl? Nims Island? No thanks.

And yea, I think either of them are capable of an Oscar, they just need the right role.

I'd rather go with AnnaSophia Robb over Dakota or Abigail.

Neither. Elle fanning has been in better projects than these two.

Mr. Cinema 01-02-09 06:26 PM

I agree with post #3.

AnnaSophia Robb
Dakota Fanning







That last girl

Between the two, I choose Abigail Breslin. I've never liked Dakota Fanning in anything.

LiquidSky 01-02-09 08:21 PM

Fanning seems very robotic to me.

LickTheABCs 01-02-09 08:21 PM

Dakota was in Man on Fire. So her.

Exactly. I remember some reviewer mentioning the same thing and comparing her to the doll that you press the tummy and spew a different emotion. Breslin on the other hand seems very natural when acting, while Dakota can turn annoying as hell, like in War of the Worlds.

By the way, Breslin was also pretty good in No Reservations.

Only 3 more years for AnnaSophia...

NiCK Crush 01-03-09 12:05 AM

AnnaSophia cannot act.

JeffTheAlpaca 01-03-09 03:12 AM

AnnaSophia Robb gave a lousy performance in Sleepwalking that movie with Charlize Theron.

Dakota is now a cheerleader for her high school

time goes by fast.

I think Dakota has the smarts to become another Jodie Foster when she gets older.

Julia Roberts won one and she can't act. So, yes, winning an Oscar is always possible no matter what the actual acting ability is. It really just takes appearing in one of those "important" message films that Hollywood loves to hand out awards to, no matter how good the resulting movie is (or isn't).

Actually only one more year in most states (although California isn't one of those states).

I came to this thread expecting a video of the two actresses in a death match at some random party or something.

:(

I think Dakota Fanning looks good in that new movie she's in, Push. But we'll see.

I still want to see her get raped in "Hounddog" but they keep pushing it back. :shrug:

Kal-El 01-04-09 01:07 AM

I like both in the movies I've seen them in, but gun to my head, Breslin.

Too much Goddamn information.

DRG 01-04-09 01:19 AM

I think Dakota Fanning will have a career trajectory similar to Christina Ricci.

Travis McClain 01-04-09 12:54 PM

Predicting the careers of child actresses is not something I'll even bother doing. I will say, though, that Abigail Breslin has entirely redefined "Superfreak" for all time. I can't say that I've ever seen Dakota Fanning leave a mark like that.

I like Robb too, but Kit Kittredge: American Girl is worth seeing.
