Unfortunately, talented minors talent is downplayed at the Academy Awards. They can’t win Best Actor/Actress. It’s bs.

[@linkbiff1054]

For some reason the Oscars never give kids leading categories.

[@pacerguy01]

I recently read that the real controversy was that many Academy members thought it was unfair to put Tatum in the Supporting Actress category, since she is in 100 of the 103 minutes of the film. By rights, she should have competed in the Lead Actress category....if she had, who knows?? Linda Blair might have won for The Exorcist.

[@obscurelyvague]

"pacegry01" is Tatum O'Neal still the youngest person to ever have won the award? Has any younger person won it since? I hear Justin Henry almost won it for "Kramer VS Kramer" and also an 11 year old won a few years back for "Into The Woods" ( I am not so sure about the movie's title). Is there information as to who is the youngest male actor to win? I think that Jackie Cooper or Jackie Coogan might have won it decades back , or at least was nominated.

[@larrydirtybird]

I just watched this movie. She was in just about every second of it. It was a leading role and she should have been nominated as Best Actress, regardless of her age. It was unfair to the other nominees. Her performance in the movie was so good that I think she may have made the cut for Best Actress, although she probably wouldn't have won it.

[@stomachpunch]

larrydirtybird I agree. She was the lead in paper moon, not a supporting character.

[@linkbiff1054]

I think the Academy thought she was too young for a lead.

[@larralu]

I think the real reason why they didn’t put her in the best actress category was they figured she had a much better chance of winning the best supporting actress award.

[@mrnocal]

Leading and Supporting categories have always been questionable with the Oscars. While excellent and deserving of an Oscar, Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs was more of a supporting role...he had less than 20 minutes of screen time, but won for best actor.

[@chotzrary]

I still think her award should have been best actress. Not supporting role.

[@NadrianATRS]

She has the record for winning this particular Oscar as the youngest competitive recipient and the longest screen time of anyone that’s won it. Amazing child actress. Linda Blair probably just lost by a fraction

[@brian7333]

Linda should've gotten it maybe, with Tatum up for Best Lead

[@rayarena879]

@@brian7333 I agree. Linda should have gotten the Oscar. I understand that William Friedkin was unpopular in Hollywood and his enemies campaigned against him. As a result, anyone associated with the movie suffered. There was, also, the issue that Mercedes McCambridge who did the demon voice sued, because she didn't get credit for her voiceover. Still, Linda Blair went through a lot in her role as Regan including hours of makeup and special effects that thrashed her around. Tatum didn't have to go through that and most important, Linda was very believable as Regan and she had great chemistry with Ellen Burstyn who played her mother Chris.

[@obscurelyvague]

"Gillian Campbell" and yet, after her role in Paper Moon and also The Bad News Bears, she was said not to be such a good actress in the greatest sense. When she made a movie with Kristy McNichol called "Little Darlings" one critic said that that movie is awful in concept and execution but it is obvious that Kristy McNichol is a greater acting talent than Tatum O'Neal. Reportedly too, when Tatum won the award for Paper Moon the directors and actors who worked with her on the film said they were surprised that she won because it was hard for her to memorize her lines. It seems as she grew older the roles dried up. Or maybe she walked away from acting.

[@DATo_DATonian]

When you consider her age during the time of the filming of this movie (8 1/2) this must be considered one of, if not THE, greatest acting performance in the history of cinema. According to the director, Peter Bogdanovich, the very long clip of her and Ryan driving down the road (when they pass the family whose truck had broken down) was the hardest scene of the movie to film. There is no trick photography in this scene, they are actually driving in a car - if I remember right they were being towed by a truck with the cameras and sound equipment in it. Whenever they flubbed their lines they would have to turn around and drive all the way back to the beginning where they would have to start the drive all over again. It took 2 days of filming and 39 "takes" to get it done correctly. The reason was because there is so much dialogue in this scene that it was very hard for both Tatum and Ryan to get all their lines remembered and delivered perfectly, and added to that was the fact that the scene had to be done in one long sequence without any camera breaks in the filming. The fact that Tatum could complete this scene at all at her age at the time is reason enough for the Academy Award she won. If you watch that section of the film closely you will see that even in the FINAL cut Ryan's lips at one point are not moving to the words we hear. It was still not right but they fixed it with a voice-over ... BUT ... Tatum's were all correct.

[@denisemarie6029]

I dis agree, Tatum O'Neal role in paper moon is amazing,one my favorites, well deserve. Honestly any of them were deserving of their wins

[@NJNupe1911]

Truthfully speaking, both Tatum and Linda should have been put in the Best Actress category. But if I had to choose between the two, Linda would have gotten my vote. It's pretty clear that Tatum won, because of the backlash "The Exorcist" received behind the Mercedes McCambridge voice over scandal, which wasn't that big of a deal to me.

[@afrogirl757]

@ Jay King - I don't remember a big scandal over the voice over. I was an avid moviegoer at that time - when movie critics analysis was just beginning to make or break a movie. Can't recall it being a big issue. Exorcist was seen as fun, horrific, big budget terror candy. The biggest media hype machine product of that time. It set the standard for blockbuster special effects films that came after- i.e.,Towering Inferno, Jaws, Star Wars but Linda Blair was never a serious contender for that Oscar - it was the head-spinning, pea soup spewing fx that made Linda famous not her performance. Mercedes McCambridge's contribution was just a part of the fx. The acting kudos were to Ellen Burstyn and Max von Sydow but the Academy voters who are older, conservative didn't favor giving the best pic/director to a "horror" movie which is how it was viewed. Tatum O'Neal's performance stood out for it's freshness and the marvelous naturalness of her performance. It was a supporting role because it was Ryan O'Neal's character she was supporting. She made him look better than his usually more wooden appearance snot to mention in every scene she's in she's able to take the focus without overacting, mugging or being coyingly cute. A feat most actors find difficult to do in comedy. And you have to see it in the context of its times. There had been no other child performance like hers at that time. The image of a wise-cracking, cigarette smoking, adult-child who could hold up her end of a scene was new, innovative and refreshing (although no doubt a young Jodie Foster could've done as well if not better). Prior to that we had our Shirley Temple sugary sweet image of children's film roles (although Shirley in her first blockbuster Little Miss Marker is tough and strangely seductive). It was after Tatum that we saw others like Jodie in Taxi Driver, Brooke Sheild's in Pretty Baby. And she was the sentimental favorite - the Academy members who vote were of the generation who remembered the Depression era Dust Bowl mid-west very well and so to see it remembered more accurately than it had been since Grapes of Wrath and yet so beautiful had to have played a part in their voting. To see a major motion picture in black and white, again. And to see a father-daughter acting duo all worked together to Tatum's award. At that time critics felt the actual best performance was given by Silvia Sydney who had been a 30's actress in B movies but of the quality of Kate Hepburn or Bette Davis who'd returned to the screen in an adult, quiet drama, the kind critics love but the general public avoids. Then again in that year's Best Film category, The Sting beat out Ingmar Bergman's Cries and Whispers and American Grafitti which are two movies that have stood the test of time far better. Exorcist has certainly stood the test of time but not for Linda Blair's performance. And Paper Moon stands up to the test of time for many reasons but especially because of Tatum O'Neal's performance.

[@pudgeuncle]

afrogirl757 It was widely known and was no scandal. Linda Blair didn't win simply because she wasn't very good and The Exorcist, like most movies from the 70s, has had no legs.

[@loveanimals6981]

+Nick Mayor "most movies from the 70s has had no legs"? ARE YOU SERIOUS, or are you just saying that to elicit responses from people? The seventies have been the BEST decade for motion pictures. In fact, I've always said that if all the movies from all of the other decades were destroyed but we still had access to the movies from the seventies, we'd be MORE than all right (not that I would ever want that to happen -- nor would it ever -- of course). By the way, Linda Blair was great.

Ryan Gillis this isnt true at all. She was never even considered a lead actress in the film at any point. That had to do with her age, the academy even admitted, over her competition. Glenda Jackson won Best Actress that year. If youre saying "who"? I rest my case. Her performance in A Touch of Class isnt even groundbreaking. Dont even get me started that Javkson won before that for Women in Love which is ALSO incredibly mediocre. 1970 to 1975 had some very low lows in Hollywood. Stop spreading false information.

Linda Blair turned out a solid performance in the Exorcist. She did exactly what was needed for a horror flick. However, Tatum is a natural actress... unfettered by the conventions of acting. Had she continued acting, she could have had an illustrious career akin to that of Jodie Foster, but she fell in love with a tennis player and the rest is history. I still marvel at how Tatum beat out her co-star Madeline Kahn for supporting actress... Amazing!

[@johnoneal1234]

Good post. Where do you live?

[@loveanimals6981]

Nooooo. I'm a fan of Tatum's but she never had the potential to ever be in the same league talent-wise with Jodie Foster as an actress. She's never shown the depth of emotion that Jodie has been known to bring forth in her performances. Even after O'Neal had been acting for a few years, in the movie, Little Darlings, for instance (which I loved), Tatum is clearly out-acted by her co-star, Kristy McNichol (now there's someone who maybe could have been more on par with Foster had she been able to iron out her personal and mental demons). Foster's performances in movies like The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane, obviously Taxi Driver, Foxes, and Carny, for example, was blowing the work that Tatum was doing around the same period as a young actress, right out of the water. (Tatum was also getting very mixed reviews or bombing out altogether in her last couple movies before marrying John McEnroe, actually.) No, I've always liked Tatum O'Neal but I never at all saw any indication that could ever equal the level of talent that Foster has.

Nah. Linda had some disappointment for a sec, but she smiled and clapped. Ive seen adults who handled loss less gracefully

@@ambershalom33keep in mind that her nomination for Wakanda Forever was 30 years after What’s Love Got To Do With It, and it was probably her last chance at winning an Oscar. She had every right to be upset

Tatum is so adorable! I love that movie. So glad she won - she is brilliant.

Tatum O'Neal deserved that Oscar for her wonderful performance in the film.

[@particleboy3584]

Sylvia Sidney had been very vocal after the nominations came out, saying she wouldn't attend the Oscars because she considered it an insult to be nominated against 'a bunch of kids.' (Sidney was by far the oldest of the group at 63; Madeline Kahn was 31; Candy Clark was 26; Linda Blair was 14; Tatum was only 10.) Too bad they didn't give Sidney's nomination to someone who would have appreciated it and benefited from it: Cindy Williams or MacKenzie Phillips in 'American Graffiti,' P.J. Johnson in 'Paper Moon', Eileen Brennan in 'The Sting,' Dyan Cannon in 'The Last of Sheila' or Carol Kane in 'The Last Detail' would all have been good choices. I remember thinking then that Sylvia Syms in the little-seen "The Tamarind Seed" was a great performance. She played the beard/wife of a gay British diplomate targeted for blackmail. Maybe the Academy just gave the nomination to the wrong Sylvia.🙂

[@themightycelestial]

Paper Moon is one those films I've been meaning to see for years. After stumbling on this video a few days ago, I finally decided to watch it. And you're absolute right, it's worth seeing. And worth seeking out. Oh, and I'd like to add that cinematography was amazing. The film made excellent use of the sweeping but sparse Depression era black & white visuals.

[@remistachfitness]

Exceptional performance for such a young age

[@ronaldwoodard3795]

Couldn't believe that was her first time acting! T.O. was magnificent! And quite funny too!

[@slipnorris5882]

I prefer these speeches, than the long drawn out speeches of today

No way ! Tatum's performance in Paper Moon is simply awesome

[@usctrojans001]

What a Genuine and Honest Speech. Truly from the Heart of a Child.

[@theiceman6941]

BRAVO! (Tatum actually deserved BEST ACTRESS, period) I love the reaction of Sylvia Sidney! What a great movie it is. She's so superb in it.

come on Linda of course!

She was an adorable little kid!

Linda Blair should've won no question about it

[@tomblinzig7307]

I disagree. She was good, but her demonic voice was done by Mercedes McCambridge.

[@blanch33333]

[@linkbiff1054]

+klassicalmuzik I think Linda Blair should have won Best Leading Role.

[@gingerkaty3066]

it's leading role, not voice acting, smh

[@greatriffishere]

I agree Linda Blair was robbed!!!

[@moveefrk]

well deserved. Tatum is both hilarious and poignant in what is an absolutely great film. She does more than steal every scene.

[@thxdts]

A well deserved Oscar! Great job, Tatum!

[@mariahfan444]

Wow...it really came down to either Tatum or Linda Blair [The Exorcist], because those two youngsters were absolutely fantastic!

[@mcstraviganza]

@aRoseByAnyOtherName Yes, that's right! You're thinking of Bianca Jagger, who was dating her father, Ryan O'Neal, at the time. Bianca wore pantsuits and Tatum said that she liked that look (and admired Bianca) and it inspired her to wear a tuxedo to the Oscar Ceremony.

[@spershall]

SO should have gone to Linda Blair!!

[@patrickfallon6976]

linda Blair was so cute and in just a few years HOT

Should have been Tatum for Lead actress, & Linda Blair for best supporting.

Fue una sensación Hollywood no gustaba nunca en dar un Oscar a un niño pero Tatum con esa actuación cautivo a todas hasta ahora es la de menos de edad en recibirlo por su magistral papel en Luna de Papel .

Not like Tatum wasn't awesome in Paper Moon, I love that movie. But Linda Blair in The Exorcist. fucking come on. It's iconic.

[@JSOMERSETJSOMERSET]

not Lynda's voice but actress Mercedes macambridge who did the satanic growls and speeches

[@Starkardur]

I don't think anyone actually thought LInda did the voice acting I was more impressed with her acting in the non-demon scenes.

[@linkbiff1054]

The Exorcist was better, but performances alone it was all Tatum. The majority of Linda Blair in it was her in it was with a shit ton of make up and some other dude providing her voice.

[@Karmen2010]

Gunnhild Edwards When Linda was acting outside of being a demon she sounds sedated

[@Rollimggiant]

I used to think lindas work was oscar worthy until i found outbthe demon was voiced over by another actress. Now the role she played seems rather a joke.
