Gwyneth Paltrow’s win for “Shakespeare in Love” is a joke

[@olivka7560]

I do not think you watched it. She was fantastic. One of the most memorable performances. It is not only that she mastered the accent but the emotions in her face are surreal.

[@user-CatherineDodd]

@@olivka7560 only with a brain of a prepubescent teen with down syndrome considered Paltrow’s performance memorable. The only reason she won because of Harvey Weinstein influence. Cate Blanchett in “Elizabeth” or Fernanda Montenegro in “Central Station” should have won that year (1998).

[@12classics39]

I admit I used to believe Vivien Leigh was overacting in Gone with the Wind until I read the book and realized Scarlett as a character is inherently a melodrama queen, and needed to be played as such. I now have enormous respect for Leigh’s performance, especially the powerful “I’ll never be hungry again” scene.

[@jmbrinck]

I agree with you. She was a gifted, beautiful and highly versatile actor. Her performance in A Streetcar Named Desire was painful in its authenticity.

[@malikamaybe]

I think in general people find earlier eras of film acting to be 'overacting' because a different style of acting was more popular in general before the late 50s & early 60s. I think people kinda credit the rise of a realism style of acting (that still is the usual fave today and people are more used to realism now) with Marlon Brando in 'A Streetcar Named Desire' and then realism really kicking into high gear after. I think we kinda end up looking back and going 'why are they doing so much?' for a lot of 30s, 40s, and 50s performances when it's just a style change/preference?

[@fredgwynn8933]

Watch Carol Burnett's impression though. It's pretty spot on.

How many times Meryl Streep is nominated, unbelievable.

[@akrenwinkle]

I loved it when Meryl said, "Sometimes even I think I'm overrated."

[@gregmcfarnon1140]

[@icevays394]

[@georgecarberry9222]

Meryl Streep is the g. o. a. t.

[@goodhartsmusic]

I wonder if her connection with Weinstein has anything to do with that. Not that she isn’t a singular talent- she is, but awards are very political. Just wondering aloud, I’m not well educated on the subject. Vivian Leigh is the best role in this train of amazing performances, for me!

[@TomRipley7350]

Olivia Colman infusing comedy into her tragic Queen Anne never ceases to amaze me. It’s such an exquisitely tuned balance. She does it in one sentence in this clip.

[@manilkasheran2934]

from 1938 to 1946 Bette Davis and Greer Garson held the reigns, both being nominated 5 consecutive times with that span of years

[@ladyxsuebee4048]

The way Studios used to run, they all had the same small stable of actors so the pool was smaller to choose from ( not diminishing their talent because they gave Excellent performances)

[@eleonorlight2073]

Holly Hunter was simply amazing in “the piano”

[@craloslius8631]

Is she the badass lady from succession season 2?

[@Monsterdonutpants]

I think when Julie Andrews won in 1964, she thanked the people who didn’t cast her in My Fair Lady which gave her the opportunity to be in Mary Poppins

[@1derfullBeast]

Julie mentioned her not beeing casted for her stage role(My Fair Lady) in her Oscar thank-speech; right into the face of Jack Warner, who rejected her for that role!

[@andrewthornhill7042]

I just love Renee Zellweger's performance as Judy Garland. She actually channels her, which goes beyond performance. I thought Judy Davis in 'Me and My Shadows' was the last word (and she was superb) but this was something else, purely because Renee was so un-Zellweger-like in the movie.

[@su-rv2uq]

I haven't seen it, because I didn't think Renee could carry it off. From this clip, I think I was right. I only saw Renee, not Judy. Judy Davis killed in her version.

[@andrewthornhill7042]

@@su-rv2uq I admired Renee for taking on such a demanding part, and I think she realised she could never 'be' Garland in quite the same way as Judy Davis was. So she didn't try to copy either Judy and just went with how she saw the role.

[@user-dm7mj2qc6w]

No womder Vivian Leigh is regarded as one of the top actresses of all time, shes simply magnetic on screen especially in streetcar

[@kenchristie9214]

Vivien Leigh is the most annoying actress I have watched. I didn't bother to return to watch the second half of Gone With The Wind. This propaganda film for the Klu Klux Klan would have undoubtedly been better if Selznick was able to get his first choice, Bette Davis. Also, six of us left a drive-in 30 minutes into Streetcar Named Desire because Vivien was so annoying. She has, without a doubt, the worst southern accent, and she is nowhere near is good as people claim she is.

[@hourglasstv01]

My mother is 70 years old this year, she often watches this movie again, and those times I see her cry. A very good movie.

The problem I have with Diane Keaton is she plays the same character with every movie she makes.

[@carmenl163]

My thoughts exactly. Whenever I see her, I think: "Ah, here we go again: Diana Keaton starring as Diane Keaton."

[@eldiran2]

She was never a great actress, true. But Woody Allen had made a quantum leap with "Annie Hall", and Keaton had perfected her ditzy waif character.

That was the character she played. Scarlett was a spoiled, pampered young woman. She was a coquet who flirted outrageously with men when she wanted something. Did you read the book? Leigh portrayed her perfectly ... because Scarlett was annoying and outrageous.@@kenchristie9214

I agree with many of these. I'm not going to list them, but I'll just mention that Glenn Close got ripped off so many times. She is excellent and deserved to win at least once. to this day it still bugs me.

Don't know if this was mentioned before but each time Jack Nicholson won his Oscar so did the leading actress in the film

[@user-rh2io7gm1l]

You're right. 👍 - *Louise Fletcher,* _One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest_ (1975) - *Shirley MacLaine,* _Terms of Endearment_ (1983) - *Helen Hunt,* _As Good as It Gets_ (1997)

[@MrRodrigues4]

how Louise Raine won the two oscars is beyond me

[@giovannyespinoza6013]

And for two performance that are relatively weak. The great Ziegfeld is good but Carole Lombard in My man Godfrey was my winner, maybe because I think Luise Rainer should have won best supporting actress.

[@Indomita506]

And for playing a Chinese woman

[@giovannyespinoza6013]

@@Indomita506 honestly I don't pay too much attention on that aspect. It was the 30s, what people would have expected? But I cannot deny that almost everyone nominee actress that year were better than Luise. My favorites were Barbra Stanwyck (Stella Dallas) and Greta Garbo (Camille)

[@12classics39]

She is HEARTBREAKING in The Good Earth. A woman constantly making sacrifices for her family and getting absolutely nothing except infidelity from her husband in return … not even a “thank you.” She captures and conveys the pain so completely.

[@bo2720]

My most memorable is Mo'nique in Precious. From a crass vulgar (and funny!) Comedian to one of the most terrifying and heartbreaking performances of all time you will never forget and winning the oscar was so well deserved!!

[@martinpascoe5904]

yes yes yes but in Supporting

[@valerirutland2468]

It was Supporting but OMG YES the scene in the social worker's office, her monologue was so unbelievably sick and twisted and disgusting but delivered BRILLIANTLY!

Sorry it’s kind of a long list of favorites . There is a range of characters I like the performances for different reasons. I am going in chronological order because which I like best changes often.

Ingrid Bergman, Greer Garson, Patricia Neal and Maggie Smith...my favorites. I think Annette Benning should have won both times she was nominated, instead of Hilary Swank.

[@SandySaunders9142]

Why are the other nominees blurred in some places, i.e. 1961

[@drednm]

#6, Marion Davies was a write-in for PEG O' MY HEART and #7 Myrna Loy was a write-in for THE THIN MAN ..... Members reacted against having only 3 nominees.

[@Nicovertime]

Fantastic list 🎉

[@catlover34fl]

Not one comment about Janet Gaynor, the first actress to win and win for 3 great performances, Sunrise, Seventh Heaven, and Street Angel. Is it because they were Silent movies made in the 1920s? How soon this generation forgets great actresses from the past. Yet if you mention Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, even Rudolph Valentino, actors who have been dead for decades, most of today's generation know who they were.

[@aagold76]

the 61 and 62 nominees are messed up- what you have for 61 is actually 62 and 62's list is from the 50s- you also had those 4 on the men's video nominated in 1995.
