Imagine how sensational her performance was, a (controversial) French actress up against some of the most popular women in the industry, i.e., Audrey and Katharine Hepburn (both winners) and Elizabeth Taylor. But like fellow nominee Anna Magnani (who won a few year earlier), Signoret, won because she indeed gave an unforgettable performance in a still haunting film.

Esteemed actors like George C. Scott and Marlon Brando stated the same; although Marlon Brando was happy to finally win one on his fourth try. He then began to downgrade the Oscars. Woody Allen is one other who has no use for the Oscars. There may have been lesser names who didn't care, one way or the other. Then, on the other side, there are some who use cutthroat tactics to even get a nomination, over more deserving candidates. One gets the feeling that some would sell their immortal souls to own an Oscar. If you're able, or even care, there is much written about tactics used for, or against performers/performances in any year. And this is why one may agree with the above superstars' opinions.

Love Signoret, but Audrey's performance in the dramatic The Nun's Story was a masterclass in interior thoughts being externalized. Audrey had already nabbed the NY Film Critics and BAFTA for her meticulous and sensitive performance. Audrey should have won this year. Signoret was unforgivably ignored without even a nomination the year she did Madame Rosa. I wish Signoret could have filmed a work by Tennessee Williams-- she has that depth.

Ms Signoret was unforgettable as seemingly tough but fragile Alice, Laurence Harvey's mistreated paramour in RATT. But it is arguable whether her role was a lead. There were so many scenes without her. Audrey Hepburn, on the other hand, was in every minute of The Nun's Story, a long but absorbing film. And it was the performance of her career. Marilyn Monroe should have been nominated as Sugar Kane in Some Like It Hot and Deborah Kerr as Sheila Graham in Beloved Infidel (a really underrated portrayal) instead of Doris Day, typically obnoxious in Pillow talk and Liz Taylor who was forced and emotionally detached throughout Suddenly Last Summer.
