Unactable roles. Polley because the character speaks solely in metaphor and Basinger because, well, the character is defined by the lines of others. All that's left is for her to look great and deliver her lines at least decently. And she does, but that's not top 5 of the year worthy.<br /><br />My field:<br /><br />Gloria Stuart, Titanic<br />Mindy Sterling, Austin Powers 1<br />Julianne Moore, Boogie Nights<br />Joan Cusack, Grosse Pointe Blank<br />Minnie Driver, Princess MononokeVolvagianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-43915821125758377422010-09-28T12:10:53.239-04:002010-09-28T12:10:53.239-04:00Which movie with Joan Cusack in 1997?

Although it was a relief she didn't win the BSA Oscar for Titanic, she certainly added a welcome spark to that film's otherwise mundane "present" scenes.<br /><br />Non-sequitor: When 'Oops, I Did It Again' was released a decade ago, I remember being annoyed that Britney Spears so cavalierly referred to her as "the old lady [who] dropped [the diamond necklace] into the ocean at the end."
