1980's Oscar Nominees

I can't argue with Mary Steenburgen winning Best Supporting Actress this year, but not nominating Dyan Cannon for Honeysuckle Rose strikes me as a sizable oversight--she's excellent, even if I wish the script hadn't called for her to let Willie Nelson off the hook at the last second. Very much one of those early-'80s films (Melvin and Howard, Coal Miner's Daughter) that feels like a continuation of the '70s; except for a far-fetched sequence in Mexico with Nelson and Slim Pickens, quite liked it. I see that Amy Irving got a couple of those worst-awards for her performance. Silly--she's fine.

Eileen Brennan – Private Benjamin
Eva Le Gallienne – Resurrection
Diana Scarwid – Inside Moves

Haven't seen any of these--could one of them have been bypassed to make room for Cannon?

I watched Scarwid in both Mommie Dearest and Inside Moves within a short time frame around '83 or so, and remember thinking she was pretty good in the latter, not so much in the former. But I don't know if my opinions were worth much then or now.
