No suprise here… her performance is so authentic, raw, terrifying and heartbreaking. A little bit campy, but still horrifying. There’s not a single false note with her performance, one of the performances for the ages.

You didn’t like Maureen Stapleton in Reds? I thought she’s pretty great in that. It’s a small role but she has her moments.

The part where she sees Diane Keaton at the train station and stares at her says so much without words. She then apoligizes for misjudging Keaton. I thought that was good stuff.

(impressive list though! Thanks for sharing it.) Glad to see Cloris Leachman and Maggie Smith ranked so high.

Thank you so much! Yes, not gonna lie, I was a bit perplexed with the win. I would have loved more of a story with Emma. Stapleton is such a great actress though, loved her in “Interiors”.
