Maggie Smith Wins Supporting Actress: 1979 Oscars

[@LPJack02]

RIP Dame Maggie Smith (December 28, 1934 - September 27, 2024), aged 89 You will be remembered as a legend

[@adarshtamang969]

In the muggle world she is a great actress.

[@conradschmidt251]

That woman should get so much more Oscars! She's the perfect actress!!!

[@charlyv.]

Totally agree. I lover her 😍😍😍😍

[@marlonchopaping1219]

This lady, Maggie Smith, won an Oscar against MERYL "FREAKING" STREEP--IN 1979!!! Two legends!

[@JamesHarris-hl2bm]

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.

[@jaydefelice9887]

@@arnoldamaral7406 I just read the comment from James Harris and no where in it does he call Liza a great actress. Not sure why you would need to even type it instead of just having your say on Diana Ross. What value does it add to anything? Petty.

[@sophie-annew7743]

I just rewatched the whole film. Still in awe of how Maggie Smith and Michael Caine manage to gradually turn a comedy into a tragedy and do it so seamlessly and elegantly. It was heart wrenching when Maggie said “let it be me, tonight”. That’s really a great performance and so worth an Oscar.

[@madeleinegrayson8372]

Agreed. Watched it again last night, hadn't seen it in ages, but loved every second of their story.

[@EnglishActor]

A true legend and remarkable talent! There will never be another!

[@storybellz]

I said it once, but I'll say it again---here, Maggie shows the most genuine modesty and humility I think I've ever seen by an actress accepting an award. It's positively adorable! She's positively adorable here!!

[@reinadegrillos]

AFterwards, we can count Olivia in that. She too is very humble and sweet.

[@jamesmcinnis208]

Sincerity is the most important thing in an award acceptance speech. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

[@yelyint5620]

What I love about actresses like Dame Maggie Smith, is that she was truly humble and gracious when accepting her Oscar. Not one vile or hateful comment about anything or anybody. No political garbage either. Plus, it was so wonderful to see Johnny Carson. A class act all wrapped up in a funny talented man. He was truly the last of the Great Oscar Hosts. Miss him.

I downloaded California Suite tonight. It hasn’t aged well and the dialogue is stage-like and artificial, but somehow Maggie was able to humanise her character and elevate the material. That’s talent. Such a loss. Somehow I thought she’d be around forever. RIP Maggie.❤

[@thomasplinguidy4588]

And the best part is that she got the Oscar for the role of an actress who is on her way to the Academy Awards and then has to watch the Oscar go to a younger girl. It's so "meta" that it belongs in the history of film studies.

Maggie deserved that but Veronica Cartwright should have been nominated for "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"

[@kazzymoviefan]

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

[@AlexBlend]

That's ok. Opinions differ. I think she was brilliant in "Invasion...."

[@kazzymoviefan]

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.

[@paul2587]

What an incredible, underused talent Veronica Cartwright was. Absolutely, she should have been nominated in this category for "Invasion..." and also in the same category again a year later for her role in "Alien."
