With buzz on Chadwick Boseman’s performance from Ma Rainey’s, it seems he will join the elite club of actors to get an Oscar nom posthumously. (Though that is to be seen)
What is your personal favorite? 🙂

“Posthumous performance” would literally mean that the actor has risen from the dead to give a performance, and I’m guessing that’s why Eddy Q. finds the wording confusing or at least funny. That’s why I find it confusing / funny anyway.
ReplyCopy URLOctober 2, 2020 at 7:06 am #1203752438Oh sorry for the confusion. I was trying to see who out of these 7 people that were posthumously nominated for an Oscar was their favorite.

October 2, 2020 at 7:19 am #1203752467Has to be Heath Ledger.
But shoutout to Peter Finch as well.

Giant is an obviousity but I would have bet my grandfather’s corpse on the other one being A Rebel Without a Cause and not East of Eden.

ReplyCopy URLOctober 2, 2020 at 8:53 am #1203752688I hope Elia Kazan is burning in Hell, but…damn, East of Eden is quite the show, and Dean is phenomenal.
ReplyCopy URLOctober 2, 2020 at 3:01 pm #1203753958For those that are curious how they died
Ledger, Eagels- drug overdose
Dean- road accident
Triosi, Finch, Richardson, Tracy- heart attackIf Boseman is nominated,
Boseman- colon cancerReplyCopy URL"We will always have Paris"
October 3, 2020 at 6:34 am #1203755017Most of these are great. The only one that I don’t think is, is the first person to do this and the only female. Doesn’t help that it was at the advent of sound but if Eagels stage performance of “The Letter” was like this then I don’t understand the fuss she was given for it.
I almost went with Heath Ledger, but I decided not to deny Spencer Tracy. That speech at the end is so incredibly great I can’t deny iy.

Isn’t Eagels’s film considered lost?
