Today Valentina Cortese passed away. May she rest in peace, our italian pride. R.I.P.

[@duckwrangler]

Valentina Cortese said that the praise she received from Ingrid Bergman that night was the best moment of her career - and was subsequently delighted that she did not win !!

[@codyhoskins1319]

I'm sure if she had been in Ingrid's position, she would have said something similar because she knew she didn't need a gold statue and was happy at least to be acknowledged. I'd really like to see her performance as I've only seen Ingrid Bergman, Talia Shire, and Diane Ladd in their roles and Ms. Bergman's praise really sells Valentina Cortese as one of the strong contenders.

[@heywoodjablome7535]

@@codyhoskins1319 I’ve seen all five, and while I personally would’ve voted for Madeline Kahn, Valentina Cortese was a very close second, and had she been nominated in 1973 (when Day and Night was actually released), she should have easily won.

[@mmjhcb]

@@heywoodjablome7535 Comedy rarely prevails. There seems to be some pervasive impression that it's easier than drama, and therefore, should not ever win over it. Both very wrong and very unfair. Madeline Kahn gave an even stronger Oscar contending semi-comedic performance in "Paper Moon," and lost to ten-year-old, Tatum O'Neal in her first screen performance. That was even worse, as far as I'm concerned, especially since O'Neal should have been in the Best Actress category if at all. At least Kahn lost to Bergman here.

[@patbulfin5459]

What I can't understand if Day and night came out the year before, why wasn't Ms. Cortez not nominated then? Also maybe Ms. Bergman could have proxied her votes to Ms. Cortez.

[@patrickgomes2213]

@@patbulfin5459, it has to do with Oscar rules which are different now. Foreign language films could be nominated earlier based on their country of origin … I don't fully claim to understand it, but it sort of makes sense.

It was controversial at the time and she spoke out about how she didn't mean to upset the other three, but there was a backlash against this speech.

Which I suppose is to be expected in the circumstances but she did talk about the fact that the film won the previous year and Cortese went begging. Bergman did not understand the timing of it and I still don't.

"It's always very nice to get an Oscar" - at the time tying with Kathreen Hepburn for the number of acting Oscars - such a funny, true and classy comment. As a Swede, of course I am very proud. Love her work in the film, however small a part it is. It's wonderful how her character Greta Ohlsson mixes Swedish with poor (?) English when she gets emotional. Sidney Lumet did her scene in one very long take; superb acting.

[@dohaperson1]

That comment is not classy...everyone laughed because it's so ridiculous that she's acting like she got a bouquet of flowers when in fact she got her third Oscar while all the other nominees had zero Oscars and everyone dreams of it. That's why they laughed...because for her getting another Oscar was no big deal.

[@rah62]

I just watched a YT clip of an interview she did with Mike Douglas - he asked her if there were any awards which she'd won that she felt she didn't deserve, and she mentioned this one. She said that the only reason she won was because Sidney Lumet kept the camera on her during that whole scene instead of cutting to Albert Finney.

In an interview after The Oscars, she have credit to director Sidney Lumet for her win because she said he always let his actors have lots of close-ups and that makes a stronger impression. She didn't mention that you also have to be an accomplished actress to make an impression and she did that so many times in her career. Her acceptance speech is one of my favorite memories of all the years I've watched The Academy Awards!

This is the best Oscar Speech I've ever seen. She doesn't really give a shit about the Oscar and I don't even think she thanks anyone, she just points out how the Academy fucked up the release year and then talks about how much she loved someone else's performance (without glad-handing her). And then the way she says "I didn't mean to" is so non-chalant and genuine and sweet. I wish more actors/actresses took this award this lightly...instead of basing their whole lives on it.

Wow! What a gracious, gracious acceptance speech! Such a classy woman! Class, graciousness and talent--you can't do better than that!

And no one has... since.
