Think about it, if they are now nominating garbage like Angela Bassett's Wakanda Forever performance, Langella's masterful Shakespearean villain needs a reappraisal.
Frank Langella's Skeletor performance was Oscar worthy

IMO it's up there with Laurence Olivier as Richard III and Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford.

Agree, and don't forget Faye Dunaway's Selena from Supergirl!

Yes! But don’t sleep on the score for that film as well. Skeltor’s entrance through the portal to Earth was one of the defining brass fanfare moments of my young musical life. I think i hadn’t even seen Star Wars at that point. So many great campy scenes, especially when he used to put Evil-Lynn in her place lol

It's a fantastic movie. I think it feels like two different films because of the Eternia fantasy and the teen drama on Earth with Courtney Cox, who was also excellent and moving as the girl grieving for her parents.

How did they get away with selling a big-titted oily bodybuilder in gay sex harnesses and hot pants to kids in the 80s? Can you imagine how the DeSantis-type Nazis would react to that costume today?

Dolph in this was a lot of boys' sexual awakening.
