Which actress should have won an Oscar...

I see what you’re doing. Very amusing.

I love Pam Grier in Jackie Brown. A shame she wasn't nominated. It might be my favorite Tarantino film.

Kathleen Byron in Black Narcissus

Joan Greenwood in Kind Hearts and Coronets

Peggy Ashcroft in The 39 Steps and Quiet Wedding

Isabel Jeans in Gigi

Ursula Jeans in The Woman in the Hall

Kristen Davis? Was the shitting-herself scene her Oscar moment?

Naomi Watts for Mulholland Dr. isn't on your poll, so a fail thread.

See? SEE??? Bitch OP didn't even include me in his list. The racist Academy already denied me two Oscars and now the racist OP wants to ERASE my remarkable creations that were overlooked by the voters. Overlooked but never forgotten. My snot tears will NOT be denied.

Miss Viola Davis for "Far From Heaven" - I was much better than the overrated Julie Ann Moore

Miss Viola Davis for "Antwone Fisher" - in my humble opinion this is the greatest performance put on film in the past 75 years and in one of the greatest movies of all time

Miss Viola Davis for "Eat. Pray. Love" - don't tell me any of you bitches could have played my role without massive eyerolling and punching that horse Mrs Moder in her smug face.

Is Kristin Davis the new Vivian Vance?

Sigourney Weaver won best supporting actress at the BAFTAs and begun her speech "An award for The Ice Storm? Surely there's been a mistake".

What is Titus? A computer game adaptation?

[quote] Naomi Watts for Mulholland Dr. isn't on your poll, so a fail thread.

Where’s the "Sheryl Lee should have won the Oscar for Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me" troll?

(I say that with love; I agree! Also Laura Dern for Inland Empire.)

R9 I clutched my heart/pearls reading that response. How DARE you.

Usually screen actors butcher Shakespeare. Usually Americans butcher Shakespeare, too. But Lange. Lange is the only Tamora.

Ooh, Sigourney in the Ice Storm.. that’s a good one.

Jessica Lange in Titus? She wasn’t even good in it.

Gillian Anderson for The House of Mirth. It was the year Wonderbra won for Erin Brockovich.

Jennifer Aniston for Cake

Mme Huppert for the Piano Teacher. One of the great screen monsters, what did she do in Elle that she didn’t do here? Surely she deserved the nomination in 2002.

Kathy and Judy for Dolores Claiborne

Charlize Theron for Young Adult

R3 - nobody knows who any of those people ARE!

Well, R18, you should make an effort to find out. These movies are all on Youtube.

You will gain new insights when you expand you horizons.

R13 who would you have cast, then?

Me for not only all my nominations but for every performance I've ever given.

Pam Grier was awesome. It’s a shame she wasn’t even nominated. She was nominated for a Golden Globe but did not win.

Lange in Titus is everything. Neither Meryl nor Glenn could do this.

Pam Grier. Her performance was beautiful, pretty much faultless in every respect. It was a brilliant role but because of her; I can't think of anyone who might have come close.

The film is absolutely a favorite. It used to run very frequently on TV and I've probably seen Jackie Brown more often than any other film. When I did overed it was showing I would watch from wherever it was in the story.

Ellen Burstyn for "Requiem For A Dream". Hands down.

R25 Ellen was nominated, she lost to Julia Snoberts

R26 That one still gets me.

Our lovely Carole Lombard should have won for "My Man Godfrey" instead of that dreadful Luise Rainer.

R27 Especially since Laura Linney really should have won that year.

Kim Stanley The Goddess 1958

How is Jessica Lange in Titus winning? Lol. Speaking Shakespeare in that weird southern accent (by way of Minnesota?!) and showing a sagged tit? She got mixed reviews for it and they were deserved.

Lange was also already at her horror movie alcoholic bitch phase just hadn’t had the bad surgery quite yet. But every film she’s done post her lead Oscar has been very off in some way, very bad. Renee also has the 2 Oscars, means nothing.

R23 Jesus, what do you think she did there? Struggle with the dialogue and then make out with a hot guy? Shit, I can do that.

[quote] Titus

An obscene play made more obscene by that Minnesotan.

Jasna Djuricic (I know, who?) by far gave the best performance by an actress this Oscar season in Quo Vadis, Aida.

Since you are being lazy, Matt, and not even trying to post from your different sock accounts, I’ll be lazy too and just repeat what I posted in the other thread.

It amazes me how persistent you are, R31, R32, R33. Your posting history reads like the demented, hate-filled writings of an obsessed stalker. I picture you looking and acting like Buffalo Bill, struggling to get your look just right, as you stare at marred photographs of Lange in her youth on your walls, whispering with seething fury, “I’ll show you sexy, breathy, horny, you ugly, talentless BITCH!”

Alas, when it dawns on you that your look isn’t so much perfected as defective, you go into a blind rage, ripping her pictures before making your way down to the basement toward your latest victim, assuring yourself, “It puts the lotion in the basket or gets the hose today!”

My god, Matt, don’t you [italic]ever[/italic] stop?

This reminds me, Sigourney should have been nominated for her stellar unsentimental work in “A Map of the World”. She was…

I agree, R37. I remember Julianne Moore being quite good in that as well.

My choice is Norma Aleandro in The Official Story (1985). I did vote for Cher in this poll because she was the same year and also should have been nominated for Mask.

Lange was tremendous in Titus and her reviews were excellent. Rolling Stone said she "seethes with sexuality and vengeance," while the San Francisco Gate said her vow to seek revenge on her son's murderer is "a moment that sends a cold wind through the theater." The editors of Entertainment Weekly urged Oscar voters to consider her for best supporting actress.

R39 EW highlighted Lange in a "for your consideration" article directed at the Academy, writing:

[quote]Jessica Lange already has two Oscars and six nominations to her credit, so her appearance near the words 'Academy Awards' should never be a surprise. But everything about her daring performance in Titus as Tamora, the Queen of the Goths, is an astonishment. Donning breastplates, vowing vengeance, tearing into Shakespeare for the first time as if nothing could be more fun, Lange steals the show – and when the star of the show is Anthony Hopkins, that's grand theft.

Also, our girl Jean Smart is shortlisted for “Guinevere” in the article (see below) too!

Pia Zadora for "The Lonely Lady" (1983).

Madonna for Evita? For anything? You jest.

Melanie was great in Body Double but not sure it was Oscar-worthy. Patty Duke was better than Mia in the TV movie sequel to Rosemary's Baby in the '70s, but Mia should have gotten a nom for Purple Rose of Cairo instead of Anne Bancroft or Meryl for boring ass Out of Africa.

Fuck me, Kathleen Turner should have won in 1994 for "Serial Mom". Hilarious, subversive and deeply committed. Plus, that was the year they had to scrape the barrel.

Jodie Foster in Nell?! Saggy Susan in The Client?! Winona in Little Woman?!

Deborah Raffin in Once is Not Enough.

Kristin Scott-Davis in I Have Loved You For So Long. A master class in acting. Also Yvonne Mitchell (who?) in Woman In a Dressing Gown.

Ooops. Kristin Scott- Thomas

Ellen Burstyn for Requiem for a Dream.

Miriam Hopkins in The Old Maid.

Lassie

Jackie Brown is in my top five films OF ALL TIME. Pam was awesome!

Pam Grier not only deserved to be nominated, she deserved the Oscar. I was ticked that that slow reactor Robert Forester got nominated and neither Pam nor Sam Jackson was NOT.

Sharon Stone for Basic Instinct

Phyllis Somerville should have been nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the film LITTLE CHILDREN.

Jessica Lange, “Men Don’t Leave”

Sigourney Weaver would have been my winner for 1997, so she was my pick. But among performances that haven’t been mentioned, I’d choose Reese Witherspoon for Election. No one but Reese could have made Tracy Flick such a memorable character, and nothing she’s done compares to that performance.

R55 are you putting Siggy lead or supporting?

Was Pam lead for Jackie Brown?

OP, how could you say Madonna in [italic]Evita[/italic]? She was the worst thing about her own movie!

Madonna received strong reviews and a Golden Globe. Bette Midler even stated that she thought Madonna deserved the Oscar.

Valerie Perrine for W.C. Fields and Me

Lucille Ball for Mame

Jackie Brown was a great movie, but Samuel L Jackson was the star.

R60, you misspelled Angela Lansbury in [italic]Bedknobs and Broomsticks[/italic].

[quote] Bette Midler even stated that she thought Madonna deserved the Oscar.

Because she knew she wasn't going to get any awards for [italic]The First Wives Club[/italic].

Kristen Davis for Sex in the City 2?! GTFO.

John Waters hated the movie [italic]Mask[/italic] and called the lead character an asshole while saying his gang "was about as tough as the Seven Dwarfs." I liked what he had to say about Cher: "[she] was okay in [italic]Chastity[/italic], but nowadays it seems she gets raves for not wearing Bob Mackie costumes."

Winona Ryder for Little Women & Teri Garr for Tootsie

Big sexy tits Helen Mirren in Cal (1984). She won the Cannes awards for the little Irish movie playing the widow of a policeman who feels trapped by her in-laws. 91% on RT.

[QUOTE] Winona Ryder for Little Women & Teri Garr for Tootsie

Would you please kindly re-familiarize yourself with the English language and re-read the topic title before posting?

Both of those performances were nominated in their respective years.

Liv Ullman in Scenes from a Marriage

R68 They should have won.

Liv Ullman was a very boring actress, never a star. She may have been a good one, but only the critics cared.

She was a huge star in Europe and a reason to see foreign-language films in the States.

I watched The Emigrants and The New Land recently back-to-back and thought Ullman was just fantastic, particularly in the sequel. She was nominated for The Emigrants the year Liza (deservedly) won.

Bette Davis for What Ever Happened to Baby Jane in 1962 . She was robbed of it by co-star Joan Crawford's behind-the-scenes machinations. Davis would have become the first woman to win a Best Actress Oscar three times. Instead, Kate Hepburn - who Davis famously said she wanted to look like - was the first triple winner in 1981 (On Golden Pond).

The one that played the creepy old man - I mean "attractive leading man" - in "Call Be By Your Name".

The cannibal?

R74 so many mistakes in your post

R77 Please enlighten me with your fact-checking.

We could start with the fact that Katharine Hepburn won her fourth Oscar for On Golden Pond, R78. Her third was for The Lion in Winter.

Indeed, I skipped over the third for Lion in Winter. My bad, you are correct R79.

Not R77 here but, like several others, you’ve missed the entire point of thread, R80. Bette Davis was actually nominated for Baby Jane. This thread is about performances that weren’t even nominated but could have been winners in their respective years.

Example: Linda Florentino in The Last Seduction.

R78 didn't mean to attack your post hun

I SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING AGAIN, YOU RACIST CUNT. WHERE ARE THE BLACK SISTERS ON THIS LIST? IT'S THE WONDERBREAD BITCHES AND PAM GRIER DON'T COUNT AS AFRICAN-AMERICAN.
