How would you rank the nominees and what’s your personal lineup?
For me it’s:
1. Diane Keaton – Reds
2. Susan Sarandon – Atlantic City
3. Katharine Hepburn – On Golden Pond
4. Marsha Mason – Only When I Laugh
5. Meryl Streep – The French Lieutenant’s WomanMy personal line-up:
1. Isabelle Huppert – Lady of The Camelias
2. Jutta Lampe – Marianne and Juliane
3. Pascale Ogier – Le Pont du Nord
4. Diane Keaton – Reds
5. Sissy Spacek – Raggedy ManHonorable mentions:
Jessica Lange – The Postman Always Rings Twice
Isabelle Adjani – Quartet
Barbara Sukowa – Lola
Isabelle Adjani – Possession
Catherine Deneuve – Hotel AmericaI consider Sarandon as 1980 and Smith in Quartet as supporting. Otherwise both could have made it.
ReplyAt the time I remember that I really wanted Marsha Mason to win for “Only When I Laugh”……now I’m not so sure after having recently seen that film as well as “Reds”, “Atlantic City” and “The French Lieutenant’s Woman” since the pandemic started. “On Golden Pond” is a great film that I’ve seen a few times.
My rankings now would be:

Sissy Spacek, Raggedy Man**Sarandon would’ve been a worthy winner in both 1980 and 1981. I, too, have her as my Supporting win in 1980.

Why do some people consider Atlantic City a 1980 release? It didn’t play in the US until 81 so that is what the Oscars go by.
I just watched it again when it was on TCM. I’d always wondered about Sarandon’s category placement (the story that she voted for herself in supporting etc.)
I think she is definitely a lead. It seemed to me she had almost as much or maybe even more screen time than Lancaster.
My ranking would be
Keaton
Hepburn
Mason
Sarandon
Streep(and Faye Dunaway should have been a nominee.)

Some of us go by first commercial release date anywhere in the world, some people go by imdb date and no doubt there are other reasons people make their choices to determine their respective year placements. Though Atlantic City didn’t play in the US until 1981 it opened in France, West Germany, Canada & Italy in 1980.
Faye’s work in Mommie Dearest would have been a great choice too.
ReplyCopy URLNever heard of these. May take a look later.
Re: Winter of Our Dreams, Pennies From Heaven, Cutter’s Way & Eye of the Needle.
All those titles are worthy tracking down. Winter of our Dreams & Cutter’s Way are two of the most bleakest films ever made. Pennies From Heaven though a musical is also rather bleak – great stuff.
Bernadette Peters won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for her performance.
