“The car that made these two equal length tire marks had positraction. can’t make those marks without positraction, which was not available on the ‘64 Buick Skylark. “ Marisa Tomei earned that Oscar. Also, once you notice that Joe Pesci is wearing visible face tape in this movie … you can’t unsee it.

[@ReadingMartin]

Fabulous. My personal top 5 winners from the 90s: Holly Hunter, Marisa Tomei, Jodie Foster, Kathy Bates & Whoopi Goldberg. I guess men act too, but I wouldn't about that.

[@jeffbeachnau4605]

1 Jeremy Irons - Reversal of Fortune 2 Martin Landau - Ed Wood 3 Kathy Bates - Misery 4 Marisa Tomei - My Cousin Vinny 5 Whoopi Goldberg - Ghost Coming up with my top 5, I realized all of my choices were basically comedic performances, which just shows the Oscars need to nominate and award more comedic roles. Also, well, 3 of my choices were from 1990 (and Joe Pesci may be in my top 10, which just shows 1990 is one of the best batch of Oscar winning performances in Oscar history). Also, all 5 of my choices are basically commanding and scene stealing performances, which is probably why they won. Jeremy is just so perfect in this, I have to admit, every time I watch the movie, I end up doing impressions of von Bulow's voice, it's just too infectious.

5. Tom Hanks - Philadelphia 4. Joe Pesci - Goodfellas 3. Kathy Bates - Misery 2. Jodie Foster - The Silence of the Lambs 1. Frances McDormand - Fargo

[@pookiekitten]

Dead Man Walking is one of my all-time favorite movies, and I dare say, it was life changing. Susan Sarandon deserved that Oscar - all the more impressive when you look at her formidable competition. Love this series - looking forward to Part 2!

[@funkyceefunkydoo]

These are my top 6. Yes, I’m aware I’m fudging the assignment but I didn’t realize how many 90’s wins I loved until now 1. Frances McDormand, Fargo 2. Holly Hunter, The Piano 3. Hilary Swank, Boys Don’t Cry (justice for Annette soon please too) 4. Kathy Bates, Misery 5. Anthony Hopkins, The Silence of the Lambs 6. Anna Paquin, The Piano

[@evanrachelhood]

I could listen to Louis talk about films for hours upon hours.

[@vanessawhitneypro]

Waiting for my plane… Hoping that my later layover in Phoenix goes smoothly… Then on to Colorado to spend time with loved ones. 🖤 Thanks, Louis!

[@slc2466]

Great- now all I want for Christmas is 1930's, 1940's, 1950's and 1960's please.

[@waffleweave]

#1) Kathy Bates in Misery. Hands down the best although Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs is a close second.

[@tenaciousbates]

Clearly I need to watch more movies. But my personal faves are Whoopi, Kathy Bates in Misery, and Angelina Jolie in Girl, Interrupted.

[@davidc5278]

Please Louis - do a video where you pick a random year and give the 12 best movies - you can get me to start watching movies again.

[@yupthatsme5257]

louis i would kill for you to give us your top 10 actresses of all time. either a vid or a tweet id take it !

[@fastbowler]

Stupid, stupid rain - another Impromptu mention!! But this was followed by a Metropolitan mention? (The surrealists were just a lot of social climbers…) Louis Virtel is messing with my 1990s LaserDisc collection! Maybe we'll have a Screenplays That Should Have Won Trophy Strife episode at some point… As for 90s performances, I would give to (not in particular order) 1) Jeremy Irons in Reversal of Fortune 2) Nicolas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas 3) Susan Sarandon in Dead Man Walking 4) Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive 5) Dianne Wiest in Bullets Over Broadway 6) Judi Dench in Shakespeare in Love (I actually didn't enjoy the movie that much, Judi is a delight!) 7) Kim Basinger in LA Confidential (because it's a token win for my fave movie of the 90s, LA Confidential) 8) Kevin Spacey in The Usual Suspects (I KNOOOOWW. I know.) 9) Emma Thompson in Howards End

[@ht6743]

I'm expecting some true Louis foolishness for #1, like Mira Sorvino in Mighty Aphrodite. The nerve slotting Dianne Wiest sixth lmao. 😄

[@CPTDoom]

So glad to see Marisa Tomei, because I will fight anyone who criticizes that performance. We all remember the courtroom scene ( and there's at least one law professor who uses it to teach students how to correctly introduce expert testimony) but you have to watch the whole thing to remember how that scene wraps up all the movie's threads almost at once, not to mention the chemistry between her and DeVito. It's funny you would bring up Helen Hayes (aside: "Airport" is the most inadvertently feminist film ever made - with all the female characters moving the plot along, figuring out the core mystery and being the bravest on the flight) and the black hole if she weren't in the picture, because I'd put Whoopi Goldberg in "Ghost" in that exact same category. I saw that at a free preview and my comment card was basically "Whoopi Goldberg makes the picture work."

[@ScottDow-l1p]

jodie foster - the silence of the lambs anthony hopkins - the silence of the lambs joe pesci - goodfellas frances mcdormand - fargo jessica lange - blue sky

[@crisbazuin7515]

As requested, l'm here to tell you that you are doing a GREAT job! 😃😃 Just a thought though: Why are credible accusations of sexual abuse/assault not punished by canceling someone? (I'm looking at you, Woody Allen) 🤔

[@EddieHenderson92]

He was never charged and law enforcement felt like Mia Farrow wasn't being completely honest with them.

[@cuba3543]

Make a list about foreign actress/ actings in another language who were sub!!!

[@eddjoey]

People who say Samuel L Jackson was robbed of the Oscar, clearly haven’t seen Ed Wood, because what Martin Landau makes in this movie is phenomenal, ane he rightfully swept that awards season, his is one of my favorite Oscar wins in any acting category ever

[@timgriffin3368]

I just adore Holly Hunter in The Piano, come in Haters. She was perfect. Frances McDormands first win is her best win. I'd have to Have to say Kathy Bates win for Misery is The Best winner of the 90s. Superior, superb, incredible And in a Hortor movie. It Was Undeniable!!!

[@chrispa9573]

Top 2 are Jodie foster & Hopkins , Pesci 3 Bates 4. 5. McDormand Fargo

O my goodness. An American host with frown lines. More power to you. If you can survive…

[@EddieHenderson92]

Martin Landau should've won his Oscar for Crimes and Misdemeanors, what a great movie and that performance is amazing.

Joe Pesci, Goodfellas 7. Kathy Bates, Misery 6. Dianne Weist, Bullets over Broadway 5. Hillary Swank, Boys Don't Cry 4. Robin Williams, Good Will Hunting 3. Al Pacino, Scent of a Woman 2. Maria Tomei, My Cousin Vinny, I don't care what anyone says, she is amazing and she deserved it. 1. Kevin Spacey, The Usual Suspects is one of the greatest performances in history

[@timgriffin3368]

Emma Thompson win best actress BAFTA for Sense and Sensibility is THE BEST!!! I'm assuming you've seen it but maybe not as it'd be your best. 😅

[@GoMulanGo]

How would you be confused about Cynthia Erivo being campaigned as lead actress for wicked…?

[@lynnstone6998]

[@philippeh3904]

Trophy Strife - The show for queer people with too much time on their hands, and straight people who have nothing to do with their time (like me 😂)

[@jrw0305]

there's something about Louis's delivery that I find insufferable - he so desperately wants us to be impressed by him
