This lady, Maggie Smith, won an Oscar against MERYL "FREAKING" STREEP--IN 1979!!! Two legends!
@JamesHarris-hl2bm4 жыл бұрын
Well, this was before Meryl became the new Katherine Hepburn and before her first Oscar, which was the next year, I believe for Kramer Vs Kramer, and the rest is history. However, make no mistake, Maggie is every bit as good an actress as anyone and can do anything. The year that Liza won, Maggie did the wonderful Travels With My Aunt, which was a brilliant comic performance, but she had won four years before for Jean Brodie, beating Liza among others, who was up for The Steril Coco.

Disagree. I recently watched "Invasion..." and thought some of Veronica's line deliveries were not great. "It's happening now" O.O not to say I don't like her. Love her in almost all she does especially "Alien" and "The Witches of Eastwick". She did well, but it's not Oscar worthy. IMO

@kazzymoviefan7 жыл бұрын
Well, I sort of take my comment back. I just rewatched the DVD this morning, and she's pretty good. Don't know what was wrong with my memory thinking she delivered her lines badly. I still don't feel Oscar nom worthy though. I liked her better in Alien, because she really was great at being terrified. I can endorse a nomination for that even though her character in that isn't super fleshed out, she was just more effective in that role.
