they decided not to do this because this set up took up a lot a lot of air time.

They did it this way only because Javier Bardem didn't want to present the Oscar for his girlfriend.

[@SDoesNotKnow]

I watched an interview with Cruz some time during the Oscar season, and one thing that I remember her saying was that when the movie was first screened, I think at Cannes, people were laughing throughout her more manic scenes, and Cruz couldn't understand why because she really felt Maria Elena's pain and suffering. To me, that was the brilliance of that performance, and probably Allen's directing. Cruz played Maria Elena like a real woman when it could have been so easy to play her as a joke. She absolutely deserved this award because she truly breathed life and brought the much-needed energy to the film. I think most people came away from that film with Cruz's performance in their mind. That's award worthy.

[@Starzagal]

Plus she's only in it for like 30 minutes overall with about 20-25 minutes of screen time but completely steals the show!

[@Caprizonica]

Penelope Cruz has such a special style in her acting that nobody has.

[@irina1296]

Kim Basinger should have been in this category for her stellar performance in "The Burning Plain". Leaving her outside this nomination was harsh

[@fajarzakri4936]

at least she already won an Oscar

[@sabrinaross8419]

I think Penelope Cruz was easily the best out of that category and had the most interesting character to play. Taraji P. Henson was quite good, but nothing special to me, Amy Adams was good, too, but she has better roles. Viola Davis was very good (but her performance wasn't only short, but it was also just one scene) and so was Marisa Tomei. But Marisa Tomei was really just a support for Mickey Rourke. She was sometimes (not always!) overshadowed by Mickey Rourke while Penelope Cruz stood out in every scene she was.

[@TheOGKSJ]

She was in more than one scene, first of all. Second of all, there have been Oscar winners in the category for even shorter amounts of screen time. Check out Dame Judy Dench for Shakespeare in Love.

[@marvinmelhorn5843]

TheOGKSJ or Beatrice Straight (Supporting Actress in NETWORK) who has the distinction of being the shortest performance to win an Oscar at only 5 minutes, 40 seconds. Incidentally, Hermione Baddeley (Supporting Actress in ROOM AT THE TOP) was the shortest performance to get nominated, at 2 minutes, 32 seconds. BTW: Sabrina ROss, the category is SUPPORTING Actress. Of course, Tomei was supporting Rourke, the lead character. Just like Cruz supported the leads in her movie.

[@sabrinaross8419]

Then compare Foster in Taxi Driver to Beatrice in Network or Judi Dench in SIL (who said herself that she didn't feel deserving and who should have rather won for Mrs. Brown the year before) to Lynn Redgrave in Gods and Monsters. Did Straight/Dench really deserve it over those two performances? I know that it's the supporting category ;) But most of the supporting winners steal every scene they are in and they don't really support the main character, they seem actually more interesting than the main character (Ledger, Bale, Hackman, Plummer, Wiest, Blanchett, Swinton, ...). So who was supported by Cruz? Johansson? Bardem? The two were easily forgettable as soon as Cruz appeared on screen.

[@anamartinez7769]

T me there was nt supporting acting, they all carry the movie a perfect Pitagoras triangulo. See this year Carol, Cate and Rooney carry the movie equally yet they split the nominations best and supporting. It' s all rigged.

[@matteopirovano]

It was honestly a 1vs1 between Penélope Cruz and Viola Davis, in my opinion. But I agree that Penélope deserved it more.

What Goldie Hawn told Taraji P Henson was so beautiful, I’m surprised she didn’t burst into tears. All five prisoners did an amazing job honoring the nominees.
