They Don’t Wear Black-tie was only elegible for the 1983/84 Best Actress category.

It's about the chaotic editing in Moulin Rouge!

It’s bizarre Shelley Duvall was nomd for a razzie in that role. Could’ve been a nominee

From the lineup, Sissy had a deserving win.

And yeah They Don’t Wear Black-tie is a 1981 film, it was the year it released in Venice and Brazil. And only 1983 in the US making it eligible for the 1984 ceremony.

Burstyn was outstanding in Resurrection.

Mary Tyler Moore in Ordinary People wins this for me. Her performance was so subtly real and heartbreaking.

Oscar noms:

1. Sissy Spacek – Coal Miner’s Daughter
2. Ellen Burstyn – Resurrection
3. Mary Tyler Moore – Ordinary People
4. Goldie Hawn – Private Benjamin
5. Gena Rowlands – Gloria

I go back & forth between Spacek and Burstyn.

Personal line-up:

1. Dolly Parton – Nine To Five
2. Sissy Spacek – Coal Miners Daughter
3. Ellen Burstyn – Resurrection
4. Mary Tyler Moore – Ordinary People
5. Goldie Hawn – Private Benjamin

OK…I’m obsessed with Dolly and have been since I was 4, a year before this film came out. She’s perfect. No apologies. Otherwise I kept the same line up except Rowlands. She’s good in GLORIA, but she might not squeak out at 6th to be honest. I have both Duvall & Sarandon in supporting for the obvious works that year. I know they are largely considered lead still I see them both in the gray area.

1. Sissy Spacek
2. Ellen Burstyn
3. Gena Rowlands
4. Goldie Hawn
5. Mary Tyler Moore (a recent second viewing did not change general dislike of this performance or the film).

My own personal choice:

1. Sissy Spacek (Coal Miner’s Daughter)
2. Theresa Russell (Bad Timing)
3. Susan Sarandon (Atlantic City)
4. Shelley Duvall (The Shining)
5. Ellen Burstyn (Resurrection)

Coal Miner’s Daughter is the gold standard for musical bio-pics. As Carice said above only Jessica Lange has come close. I can’t think of another since Sweet Dreams that rises to the level of these two films or performances.

As wonderful as Streep is when singing and matching sounds when speaking I suspect she would have not sounded like Cline. D’Angelo didn’t sound like her very much either. I usually hate when singing roles are dubbed but I forgive this film with Lange bc she looked like Cline so much and of course is a terrific actress.

Sweet Dreams has an odd history. Meryl Streep was originally promised it by Karel Reisz her director from French Lieutenant’s Woman. Then he suddenly gave it to Lange. I think Streep would have done her own singing. She always seems hurt by the switch when discussing it.

I wonder if that is what has also soured her on French Lieutenant’s Woman. She now says that isn’t one of her best performances.

Lange is very good in it though even if she doesn’t do her own singing.

I wonder if Beverly D’Angelo was ever considered. She did a good job as Cline in Coal Miner’s Daughter. Guess she wasn’t a big enough star.

Huh, okay I’ll be the first to throw support behind Rowlands 🙂
