last good helena bonham carter role that year unless i'm mistaken.
― balls, Monday, 10 October 2011 01:21 (twelve years ago) link
would vote bridges of madison county best streep
Agreed. Still one of her more bearable performances (in a less than bearable movie that's still watchable than the "book").

I shoulda put Bonham Carter on my list -- and she probably would have won if not for Hunt.
between helen hunt and pam grier hollywood chose helen hunt.

'92 and '94 weakest of all. Jessica Lange won by default (not a bad performance either).

Pfeiffer nominated in JFK-exploiting claptrap while Catwoman that same year is ignored.
have to say helen hunt virtually disappearing after whutifthisisasgoodasitgets was one of the nicer failures of my worst fears being confirmed since live failed to turn into the next u2.

holy shit love field WAS the same year as her catwoman! fucking insane - it's not like there wasn't oscar buzz for her catwoman performance either. i guess the academy was still old enough that it wasn't going to vote for some fucking comic book movie.

As for '95, I'd have given the trophy to Shue and let Sean Penn win instead of Cage (Sarandon would've won for T&L in my world).
― lumber up, limbaugh down (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 10 October 2011 01:32 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i'd totally flip the actor and actress wins in 95.

but then cage wouldnt have a trophy ;_;

The story at the time was that she bought the nomination.

kaufman/cage involvement means adaptation has enough alternate reality already

McDormand quite easily, though I give honourable mentions to Channing and Shue. Six Degrees of Separation is a sentimental favourite of mine.

Also, how is it possible that I watched every Oscar ceremony of the 90s and yet have never heard of Tom & Viv?

most shamefully missing:
Nicole Kidman - The Portrait of a Lady
― incredibly middlebrow (Dr Morbius), Monday, 10 October 2011 04:45 (twelve years ago) link
maybe excluded on a similar yet reverse basis of a lifetime achievement award?

no she was snubbed for to die for also (and arguably for eyes wide shut), and then suddenly post divorce oscar couldn't get enough of her.
― balls, Monday, 10 October 2011 05:17 (twelve years ago) link
Nah, most shamefully missing is Pam Grier, as mentioned above.

I see. Do not remember hearing about her or the movie at all at the time.

Angelica Huston for the Grifters. I like a lot of these actresses, but not in these parts they were nominated for.

btw I chose that photo in the hopes that one of their agents will get the bright idea to cast Irons, Whoopi, Bates, and Pesci.
― lumber up, limbaugh down (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 10 October 2011 19:04 (twelve years ago) link
They'll probably instead get Nicholson, Hunt, Basinger and Williams together instead.

There are a few I liked, but the only two I'd vote for would be McDormand in Fargo or Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs. If I could add one name it would be Pam Grier in Jackie Brown.

I haven't seen Shadowlands but I'm tempted to vote for Debra Winger because Debra Winger. Still, I gotta go with Marge Gunderson.
― da croupier, Tuesday, 11 October 2011 00:48 (twelve years ago) link
i haven't seen quite a few of these mike leigh and miramaxers
Frances McDormand is easily the best thing about Fargo, and she's onscreen for (guessing) 25 minutes.

Huston is third on this list, Irons second on the Best Actor one. So 1990 was the year, eh.
― lumber up, limbaugh down (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 20 October 2011 00:46 (twelve years ago) link
Well, in this case 1996 was. Rightly.
