Faye Dunaway belongs in the dubious category of actresses giving great perfs in awful films (Jessica Lange in '82 and Marion Cotillard in '07 join her). <br /><br />Speaking of awful, Hepburn's work in OGP is an embarrassment -- the Academy was so besotted with her and the idea of giving her another unworthy Oscar that they couldn't see past "Look! The loons!" and "Coming, you old poop!" Hepburn is one of my favorite actresses, but, with the exception of <i>The Lion in Winter</i>, her Oscar wins are for mediocre or worse performances.

Marilia Pêra, "Pixote": I'm surprised that nobody metion her before...<br />5. Diane Keaton, "Reds": Good performance, especially because I don't like the film.<br /><br />Honorable mention: Kathleen Turner, "Body heart".<br /><br />I saw "On the Golden Pond" two times, and both I couldn't understand why this film got all that attention that year.

I just don't get this woman - either of these women - and I'm not convinced she does either, despite all the "moody" posing. But the script isn't helping her at all; I don't blame her for looking kind of lost.<br /><br />I'm for Keaton, Peters, and Mason, probably in that order. Sarandon and Spacek would probably get the other two spots, though I do love Hepburn in <i>OGP</i> despite its being a less demanding role, and Julie Christie is quite affecting in the bizarre <i>Memoirs of a Survivor</i>. Haven't seen <i>Coup de torchon</i>, though. I'm ambivalent about Dunaway and didn't care that much about Turner in <i>Body Heat</i> despite all the ballyhoo.NicksFlickPickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607501848596529493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-82970097784594073522009-06-20T17:15:49.592-04:002009-06-20T17:15:49.592-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Billy Held An Oscarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462888920400921139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-80995824217036616742009-06-20T15:53:54.317-04:002009-06-20T15:53:54.317-04:00nat you need to do your top 5 for every year also....nat you need to do your top 5 for every year also.we love to know what you think,by the way stevie video still on offer.mrripleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-50542685795317310572009-06-20T15:48:56.811-04:002009-06-20T15:48:56.811-04:00I thought the lineup, with the exception of Hepbur...I thought the lineup, with the exception of Hepburn, was Ok ... she was not good in the movie...

I'd also have included Hepburn, Streep, Sarandon, and Keaton, throwing in Spacek instead of another throwaway Marsha Mason nomination.<br /><br />As far as the winner, I think I'd probably have to go with Keaton. Streep is magnificent, and certainly my second place, but at the end of the day, Warren Beatty was making, in my opinion, his best film (it sits, rather ungloriously, as film No. 101 on my Favorite films list, and consistently gets shoved back into the list every time I see it). That scene on the train-why doesn't someone give Keaton something extraordinary to do again?

Haven't seen many of the movies of that year, but as I said somewhere else before, I didn't like too much the french lieutenant's woman. But really, I am sure that Meryl will win at least another Oscar before she retires and very soon. And if she really wants to have 4 all she needs to do is what she is doing now. Two films a year is not bad at all even for a younger actor.adelutzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01500491363721543846noreply@blogger.com
