Why would she play it with quiet subtly throughout when the role calls for spurts of theatrical gusto? The situations in Misery get more absurd as the film progresses. The fact that she made the character believable (with her character’s tricky dialogue) and sympathetic (she kills babies and gentle elderly law men) is a testament to her chops as an actress. <br /><br />Anjelica Huston in The Grifters – she’s playing a sexy mob mother. Her Bea Arthur wig does nothing for her sexiness. The script continues to call attention to the fact that she looks so young but the wig ages her. Her work is self-aware and mannered. Twice in the film she goes Brando on us with raw emotion – it’s these bookends that lead people to believe her performance is stronger than it actually is./3rtfu11noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27654688.post-39946792215910118142010-07-22T16:54:04.661-05:002010-07-22T16:54:04.661-05:00The '90s saw 2 of the WORST Oscar EVER GIVEN (...The '90s saw 2 of the WORST Oscar EVER GIVEN (roll Drum...): Jodie Foster & Helen Hunt.

So, by my count, she'd have two Oscars because 1995 was also her year. Don't you just love the way she acts? Anyway, back to the point(s). <br /><br />Also 1991 - I'm not a huge Jodie Foster fan and her performance in "The Silence of the Lambs" is just alright to me. <br /><br />1997 - Helen Hunt is more than a B-! But I'm glad you love "As Good As It Gets," so I guess I have to choose my battles. <br /><br />1999 - I've never seen Swank - argh. I have to get on that!<br /><br />Good luck in the 1980's and thanks for the awesome reading material!Judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06020928482551709815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27654688.post-26399097061730919832010-07-21T15:15:03.687-05:002010-07-21T15:15:03.687-05:00I'm going to do a long comment too:
1990: I...I'm going to do a long comment too: <br /><br /><br />1990: I've seen Bates and Huston, and I didn't like Bates very much. I thought she was over-the top and not really Oscar-worthy, to me. I loved Huston, so there's my pick. <br /><br />1991: I used to really like Foster, but I was disappointed when I watched about an hour of Silence a few months ago. So, I don't know about her, but I LOVE both Sarandon and Davis and T.A.L so much! I'll have to declare a tie, at least for now. Haven't seen the others. <br /><br />1992: Only seen Emma and I thought she was best thing in Howard's End, and the only thing to like about it, but that's just me! <br /><br />1993: I've done this year on my blog, but I'll recap my thoughts: Holly was brilliant, an easy pick, loved Basset, Thompson was great, Debra was very strange and underwhelming, and I don't get Channing's nomination, though it's mostly the film's fault. <br /><br />1994: Need to see Jessica again, but I loved Winona and I love Little Women! Need to see the rest. P.S: Do you have a link to Tom And Viv?<br /><br />1995: Sarandon and Shue were both incredible, but Sarandon deserved it. Emma was good, but I was a little disappointed. <br /><br />1996: Emily Watson was AMAZING I'm a little ticked off that she's your fifth, but to each his own! McDormand was great, Brenda was great, but need to rewatch, Need to see Scott-Thomas again, and I didn't really like Keaton. <br /><br />1997: You'll see soon if you read my blog........ <br /><br />1998: Need to see both Cate and Paltrow again. Haven't seen the others. <br /><br />1999: Used to like Benning, but I was disappointed by her when I watched A.B on an airplane recently, so don't know. Need to see Swank again. <br /><br /><br />Anyway, great work!joe burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987519630654592530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27654688.post-50770083566705097112010-07-21T12:18:53.248-05:002010-07-21T12:18:53.248-05:00Excellent post!

1990: Di...Prepare yourself, this is a long comment:<br />1990: Didn’t see Meryl, so I’ll go with Huston and Bates facing off with Roberts maybe…though I think that Glenn Close should have been in that lineup.<br /><br />1991: Sarandon shines above all else (haven’t seen Dern) and she’d easily face off with the excellent Bening in Bugsy (or was that supporting). As you know, I’m not too fond of Silence of the Lambs or Jodie Foster’s “talent” so I may be prejudiced.<br /><br />1992: Emma’s is the best performance of the decade arguably…so very excellent, and Pfeiffer should have been there for her <i>other</i> performance. Susan is the strong runner up of the five, for me.<br /><br />1993: Thompson once again towers above everyone. She has the least “leading” of the roles, which makes what she does so much more excellent for me. I’d have given her the second Oscar.<br /><br />1994: I find Winona so shrill in Little Women, though she’s good at times. I can’t remember Blue Sky, and I think The Client may be my favourite Grisham movie adaptation – and that’s because of Susan for the most part. So surprised, but glad that Oscar recognised her there.<br /><br />1995: Bridges Over Madison County just may be my least favourite (nominated) Streep performance and I don’t think the film’s any better. Everyone else is quite good, though it’s Thompson and Sarandon who shine brightest for me. Sarandon won her deserved Oscar – finally.<br /><br />1996: This is, I believe, the best actress lineup of the decade though McDormand would be fifth for me. Kristin Scott Thomas and Brenda Blethyn are astounding for me, I don’t want to pick – and where was Madonna?<br /><br />1997: Helena Bonham Carter was egregiously snubbed. I haven’t seen Judi or Julie’s work, but I’m no fan of As Good As It Gets or Helen in it…and Winslet’s nomination is not the insufferable fodder so many remember it as. <br /><br />1998: Haven’t seen Watson or Montenegro. Though Cate has my allegiance Gwyneth is only inches behind, no where near the worst win in this category – few could have done it better.<br /><br />1999: Annette and Julianne actually face off for me. Hilary is close in third, but I have more sympathy and interest in the ostensibly wicked ways of the those two redheads. Of course Annette wins.Andrew K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01104647944747041277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27654688.post-6114997388487639112010-07-21T03:14:54.138-05:002010-07-21T03:14:54.138-05:00Kathy Bates always.
