Kim’s performance in L.A. Confidential was nuanced perfection. She deserved the Oscar

[@paulvoorhies8821]

I really like her, but she was a bit wooden. Id’ve voted for Julianne.

[@terrencemoss4914]

I miss the days when you didn't know who was going to win until they won.

[@paulvoorhies8821]

Ahh, you kinda new Kimmie was gonna take it.

[@grant1088]

Me too. 0:50

[@amiralcherani2662]

You might not feel it but she is so down to earth she laughed on her scene and clapped with the audience

[@leandrocerqueira9910]

I like your videos!! Always complete with all performances!!

[@tomace4898]

Kim was a deserving winner, but it was interesting to see Joan was nominated, in a comedic role. Shows how strong her performance was.

[@zydration3538]

Her and Allison Janney are such amazing supporting actresses. They really know how to be memorable with short screen time and in a perfect world would have multiple nods and at least a win each.

[@AlexBlend]

Gorgeous woman. Kim was fantastic in L.A. Confidential. I had only one little issue with this category that year, they did not nominate Sigourney Weaver for her impressive acting in The Ice Storm

[@jackmahanes4591]

Who would you have taken out?

[@AlexBlend]

haha nice question. I'm nobody to judge these amazing actresses but I know 1 thing - Sigourney Weaver and Kim Basinger were my winners in that category

[@shazryn1980]

alex blend Couldn’t agree more with you.

[@shazryn1980]

alex blend But I love Julianne Moore in Boogie Nights. No doubt it was one of her best performances throughout her career.

[@Rumpelstilskin-kt5ud]

agree

[@vapalaca]

All nominees were sensational. My fave to win was Julianne

[@paulvoorhies8821]

💯. She was phenomenal, in a role that was simply too controversial and risqué for the average Academy member to vote for. Hers was the best from a technical perspective, IMHO.

[@mariosanchezgumiel7757]

Kim Basinger is an excellent actress. A well deserved Oscar. I also think "Blind Date" is one of her best performances.

[@omararturoramirez5262]

She was just to die for in that role… STUNNING! I personally sympathize with her because she has an anxiety disorder, not easy ! You can tell by seeing her reaction and Alec Baldwin who was kind of expecting the worst! 😱

Love the way Jack Nicholson stood up and congratulated her 3:41. Brief Batman reunion and blessings from the Joker. I think there was a reason they put Cuba Jr right at the beginning of the show.

[@patr70]

Thank God she got away from Alec Baldwin.. she deserved better,

[@mikewriter]

I would have voted for Julianne Moore. Her performance was heartbreaking.

[@bryanalstoncoxing]

Same, unfortunately her movie was probably too “much” for a majority of the Oscar voters. Plus her strongest scenes for toward the end of the film when most of the voters (conservative older men) were probably checked out by that point

[@paulvoorhies8821]

Absolutely!! She was fantastic.

[@paulvoorhies8821]

@@bryanalstoncoxing. Agreed. A coked out porn star and neglectful mother was probably waaay too dark and controversial for most mainstream Academy voters. I do think it was technically the best performance in the category though. Actually, I thought Julianne was at or near the top of her category 4 out of the 5 times she was nominated, the exception being The End Of The Affair, which is the film in which I think she looked the most beautiful.

[@arthurojimenez883]

Honestly I wouldn’t have been mad if Joan Cusack took the Oscar 😂

[@FlabbyTitmuss]

Very gracious and sweet.

[@SpeedRacer1125]

Damn, these five women were excellent. Excellent!!!!

[@theresabollman8061]

KIm is such a class act and yet so real. She more than deserved that oscar.

[@paulvoorhies8821]

I really like her, and she gave a great performance in LAC. I think Julianne Moore’s was technically better. I think her portrayal of a broken, coked out porn star, neglectful mother, yet den mom to a group of “circus freaks” was both too controversial and risqué for the typical Academy member, especially 25 years ago.

[@valenciawoods4498]

All excellent performances. Would have loved if LA Confidential won best picture. Also, Alex's yell from the audience whrn she stated to speak. Weird that moment popped into my head. Had to come back and watch. 2020

[@paulvoorhies8821]

LAC for Best Pic! Julianne for Supporting!

[@misterace6535]

Why is no one mentioning Julianne Moore?! She was the BEEEEEST out of the bunch. Totally!

[@paulvoorhies8821]

Yes she was. Phenomenal in a role that was too controversial and risqué for the average Academy member, especially 25 years ago.

[@gonzalogauna46]

I think Gloria deserved it. She wasn't too much time in the film, but her moments were really touching and breakhearting.

[@paulvoorhies8821]

🤮. Worst in the category. Would have been a mercy win. Julianne turned in the most technically riveting performance, albeit it too controversial and risqué of a role for the average Academy member to vote for, especially 25 years ago.

[@MikeysGayToday]

I will say, Kim looked STUNNING this night!

[@paulvoorhies8821]

She looked perfect. Terrific choice of dress and hairstyle, even if her performance wasn’t technically the best in the category. Julianne’s was too controversial and risqué for the average Academy voter, particularly 25 years ago.

[@paulvoorhies8821]

2nd best to Julianne, whose performance, I think, was technically the best but far too controversial and risqué for the average Academy voter, particularly 25 years ago. Kim wins for best dressed and hairstyle, hands down!

[@vaskylark]

@@paulvoorhies8821 No it wasn't. Boogie Nights was a big movie and I lived the times. I thought the movie was hyped too much if anything and I thought it would be better. It wasn't a good movie. Julianne was good but she was hardly great and Mark Wahlberg's acting was terrible.

[@paulvoorhies8821]

@@elvisleon754 i actually thought Robin Williams was better in Good Will Hunting than Reynolds was in Boogie, so I was fine with that. I’ve seen both films numerous times, and it’s obvious to me that Moore gave the most riveting and complex performance in the category. I like Kim, and I loved LAC-thought it deserved Best Pic, but you’ll never get me to believe that Kim gave a better performance than Julianne. We’ll have to agree to disagree there. The fact is thst Km was the most popular name in the category that night, and we all know how well-loved Alec Baldwin was in the Actor’s branch of the Academy. She was expected to win and did. I think it’s telling too that Julianne went on to be nominated 4 additional times (winning once) over the years. Also interesting is that in the film community exists an organization that hosts and presents the “20/20” awards. That is, films and performances from 20 years ago are revisited and reconsidered in each and every Oscar category, with the benefit of 2 decades of hindsight behind them (hence the name 20/20). Guess who won Supporting Actress at the 2018 ceremony. Guess who didn’t even make the final 5 cut??
