1976's Best Supporting Actress Oscar Nominees

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Not that I needed any help deciding, but watching Julianne Moore flail to try and escape the shadow of Laurie's performance sealed it for me.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I voted Foster, but from the discussion here was expecting Laurie to sweep. The results for the top two being so close (and all but obliterating the other three contenders) feels correct, though.

lurker pervs

some ppl not all that impressed with anti-Christian heathen horror

is network really anti-christian

I think he was talking about the Jews. Didn't have him pegged as an anti-semite, but you live you learn.

I want a show developed, based on the activities of a terrorist group. 'Joseph Stalin and his Merry Band of Bolsheviks.' I want ideas from you people. That is what you're paid for. And, by the way, the next time I send an audience research report around, you'd all better read it or I'll sack the f--king lot of you, is that clear?

is network really anti-christian

No, just anti-woman, anti-black woman, anti-young people...

I want anti-establishment. I don't want to play butch boss with you people.

If only Network were anti-establishment.

Chayefsky was a pretty POS human being, it's true

On the strength (or lack thereof) of Network, he was certainly an old crank of the most sanctimonious sort.

(i am now finished venting about the ridiculous overratedness of Network. for tonight.)

I can accept these results as a statistical tie. I do love the way Foster has with that jelly and sugar.

that's what her wife said

Before the disaster.

lol at morbs

On the strength (or lack thereof) of Network, he was certainly an old crank of the most sanctimonious sort.

He was in his early 50s when he wrote it, that's not old at all! No sirree.

(well maybe it is if you drop dead at 58)
