Possibly the best line up ever in that category.
The role of Marge Gunderson is indeed iconic, but I pick Blethyn. She and that movie were perfection.

Blethyn for sure, though Watson is incredible too. McDormand is funny but it’s hardly on the same level of those two. Scott Thomas has great screen presence but I’m not sure if it’s a great performance and Keaton, forget it.

McDormand is obviously iconic in Fargo, but Watson would probably get my vote. Blethyn is great as well.

I think with McDormand, the greatness really lied in the character and the writing, rather than what she as an actress did with it.

I feel I am going to get a lot of hate for this but I love Madonna in Evita and think she(and the film)should have gotten more love from the Academy.
