I was shocked that there wasn’t a thread for the most talked category in award show history (at least on the internet). I think this could be a great place to discuss past winners, nominees, and snubs. This can be a fun place to post our random/unpopular opinions on Best Actress. I will start.
Meryl Streep, Katharine Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman, and Ellen Burstyn were all worthy of winning 3 BA Oscars.
Last year’s winner should have been Scarlett Johansson when it comes to the nominees. Hilary Swank deserved both Oscars.
Pam Grier was the best in 1997.
Here is a link to the YouTube channel Be Kind Rewind. She does great journalism work in mostly discussing the Best Actress category.

Do you think there was a split in the voting, or do you think Judy was going to win regardless?

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNiolZNLiJplmCCzqk9-czQI am interested to know which 3 performance you are referring to conerning those 4 ladies. For me, it would be
Meryl Streep: Sophie’s Choice, A Cry In The Dark, The Bridges of Madison County
Katharine Hepburn: Alice Adams, Philadelphia Story and The Lion In Winter
Ingrid Bergman: Gaslight, Anastasia, Autumn Sonata
Ellen Burstyn: The Exorcist, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, Requiem for A DreamHilary Swank in Boys Don’t Cry is one of the best win ever in this category.
ReplyCopy URLNovember 27, 2020 at 8:11 pm #1203878741I would’ve given Meryl a third Oscar for Out of Africa (she totally carried the film on her shoulders) but Geraldine Page was fantastic and nuanced in The Trip to Bountiful. I don’t see Page’s Oscar as a “career Oscar” at all. That was a masterclass from a veteran actress. So she deserved her win.
Hilary Swank rightfully won for two groundbreaking female roles: playing a transman and a female boxer.
Jodie Foster did not deserve either of her wins, but Sally Field did deserve both her wins.
November 27, 2020 at 8:13 pm #1203878747Nicole Kidman’s Oscar should have been for To Die For not The Hours.

i think judy would have won against nearly everybody, she had 3 globes nom that year (including 2 for the same role!!) she just had a lot of support imo
