I remember reading about people being offended by Margaret Avery’s campaign when nominated for “The Color Purple”……also with Melissa Leo’s for “The Fighter” (though Leo did win).

I really enjoyed this movie. To me, all actors in the cast should be considered in the Supporting Actor category…..I didn’t feel like any one of them was the lead. With that said Redmayne, Langella and Cohen all gave award nomination worthy performances.

Pam Grier as Jackie Brown in “Jackie Brown”….loved the song “Across 110th Street”

If you’ve actually won an Oscar, you should be included in the “In Memorium” segment.

At 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:
1. Katharine Hepburn
2. Marsha Mason
3. Diane Keaton
4. Meryl Street
5. Susan Sarandon

Even if he hadn’t received the Honorary Oscar, I don’t think O’Toole (in “Venus”) would have won over Forest Whitaker (“Last King of Scotland”). It is too bad though O’Toole never won a competitive Oscar. I was glad Geraldine Page won for “The Trip to Bountiful”. Of course there was the overdue factor, but I think her performance was the best that year. I still hope Glenn Close wins one.

Whenever Al Pacino was nominated he was up against stiff competition. He definitely deserved a win for Dog Day Afternoon in any other year, but that year Jack Nicholson was so deserving for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. I’m glad he won an Oscar, and if it had to be for Scent of a Woman, then so be it.

William Holden deserved his Oscar. He was also excellent in Network.
