What mistakes??? This is their choice.... make ur own video

Not over ellen burstyn for rfad

@@Rash23215 Yes true! Cheung definitely deserved a nomination tho imo haha

1988 was a tough year. Besides Jodie and Glenn, Meryl's performance in A Cry In The Dark was phenomenal and one of her best. I really don't know who I would have voted for. Any one of those 3 was deserving imo.

@@richardherdman2121 Yeah you are right. A Cry in the Dark was beyond amazing.

It's a very different style of performance for one thing. That is not to say Theron wasn't a tour de force - she was. But, so as to understand my decision a bit better, here are a few factors: (1) I take into account the quality of the film. If the movie isn't on par, then rarely do I give the performance its due (unless it's Meryl Streep in Sophie's Choice, for instance). But Sophie's Choice is a solid film, whereas Monster borders on mediocre. It is solely carried by Theron's performance, and that does not work well with me. (2) I do not care for weight loss/gain for any role, it impresses me, but I do not think more highly of a performance because of it. (3) I have a healthy aversion to biopics. Even if the biopic is an artistically rich achievement on its own, it will not really matter to me whether the actor did a good job at evoking the person. I will focus mainly on the way the actor interacts with the lense and the script, not so much on their likeness to the historical figure in question. All that being said, Theron loses some points that helped elevate the performance in the eyes of many, the Academy included. Regardless, she still delivers an incredible performance, one of the best of 2003, and is still a valid choice for anyone to take. It's just that I have a different preference (which has probably changed, the video will be updated soon).

This is their choice..... you can make ur own video and include that in it

It is evident that I disagree. Though Streisand is a pretty respectable actress

I'm glad Barbra won too. But look at it this way...if she had just one less vote, she wouldn't have won and we'd never know how close it was. Of course the same can be said if Hepburn lost. Overall I'm good with it being a tie that year.

Torn between Emma Stone for Poor Things and Natalie Portman for May December. Lily Gladstone won't make the cut though.

@@georg_couch I'm the same actually. But I did love Gladstone's performance

I've thought occasionally about those two. At the end of the day, I think Olivia de Havilland was the superior actor. Comparing isn't much help, but I do believe that her wide, expressive eyes and her tendency to play darker, more morally gray characters set her apart; the final cut in the Heiress is spine-chilling. Joan Fontaine, however, played in overall better films. She is great as well, just more limited in what she can or cannot do. She had the luck to work with Hitchcock and Opüls. De Havilland has Gone with the Wind as a feather in her cap, but her most memorable performances are in unfortunately less memorable films (often the case with Meryl Streep, one of the best actresses of all time). *That being said, I rewatched the Hours recently and there is a case to be made of Streep's performance in the film being much too underrated.

I've been promising the Best Actor video for two years now and I still haven't gotten around to it. So, I intend to have it finished at some point, but I haven't made it a priority for a long time now, so I wouldn't wait for it adamantly if I were you. However, I will be releasing an update of the Best Actress video soon, years 1927-2023, with a few changes as well (I've changed through this time, and so have some of my choices - or music). As far as 2023 goes, I haven't watched much if I'm perfectly honest. I did watch Barbie, though I am not a big admirer of that film (Margot Robbie however may deliver her finest performance to date in it). Poor Things looks very promising. I adore the book by Alasdair Gray, and I do love Lanthimos so I have high expectations here.

Ellen Burstyn delivers her finest performance in Requiem for a Dream (and in her case, that is quite something). I was very frustrated with the realisation that she wasn't ever my choice - that being said, Maggie Cheung in In the Mood for Love is a timeless take, I couldn't resist it. As far as Penélope Cruz goes, I thought she was mesmerising. Her role in the film is somewhat of a femme fatale with a reality check. Having said that, I'm no longer certain I would still choose her. It's been some time since I worked on this project, and in hindsight I think I prefer her in Volver - she was simply magical in that. My 2009 choice would probably change if I were to update this video. I'm generally an admirer of Cruz's work, though I do think her Spanish-language career is far more prolific and multilayered than her work in English. That isn't her fault. I think there are very very few fully fledged and three-dimensional roles for Latinas in Hollywood (even her Oscar win was a bit on the nose, though she was great in that film).

I agree on JLC, though I did love Frances McDormand in Nomadland. As far as Carey Mulligan goes, I consider her one of the best actresses of her generation and I seriously considered a lot of her performances; I regard her performance in Promising Young Woman highly, though I was a tiny bit disappointed by the film itself. She may be placing #2 ion that year. I think she is my choice for supporting in 2011, for both Shame (phenomenal performance) and Drive (though Jessica Chastain in Tree of Life offers some competition). An Education was a glowing break-out, star turn from her, but 2009 had some other performances I would prioritise (e.g. Charlotte Gainsbourg in Antichrist). I haven't watched She Said, so I don't really know where I would rank that performance. I generally intend to update that video when I manage to begin working on these projects again, so I will rewatch some of her films to make sure.

I'm so sorry I failed to understand that the best actresses out there are all American.

Sissy Spacek is a wonderful actress. The only year she comes close to getting it, in my mind, is 1976. You could either pick her for Carrie, or Faye Dunaway for Network (as I did). She is also my 3rd choice for 1977, for her performance in Robert Altman's 3 Women (only surpassed by Diane Keaton for Annie Hall, and her co-star, Shelley Duvall). Her actual Oscar win, however, pales in comparison to her work with the American New Wave auteurs of the 70's. I even like her better in In the Bedroom.

Interesting thought. I found her breathtaking, especially so early on in her career. Natalie Portman however was transcendent. I think Portman's work would rank quite high if I were to make a list of best performances on film, all time. What was it that you considered so wonderful jn Lawrence's performance, yet lacking in Portman's?

@@georg_couch a mix of quiet sternness and adolescent vulnerability. That was actually quite a good year. We have Nicole Kidman in Rabbit Hole, Michelle Williams in Blue Valentine, then from overseas, Juliette Binoche in Certified Copy and that great Korean actress in Lee Chang-dong's Poetry. All of these performances boast great subduedness and showsmanship all at once. If J Law is my pick, it's simply because of the inner resilence displayed. It's like a novelty among those expert performances that I just listed.

@@thejohnnth it was indeed a great, great year. To be honest, if I didn't go for Natalie Portman I'd be flip flopping Michelle Williams and Juliette Binoche (they are #2 and #3, depending on the day). Jennifer Lawrence would be my 4th choice, probably. The actress from Poetry was also mesmerising. These are five wonderful displays of acting (even Nicole Kidman who wouldn't make my cut was equally great). As far as 2010 goes, I could sort of agree with any of those choices. My personal favourite is actually Juliette Binoche, but that is also because I am a great admirer of Certified Copy, and consider it to be one of the most unique, genius, disarming works of 21st century postmodernist cinema.

@@georg_couch yes, 2010 was a fantastic year for female performances. The other year that I could think of that was so replete with great female roles was perhaps 2002. Diane Lane would be my pick for that year. But then, that would do Moore some injustice, so I would give Moore the award in 1995 instead. But then, I love Nicole Kidman as well, so she would be my 1996 winner. Or I could give them a tie in 1999. Everything can go wild in your mind when you want to imagine this stuff. You want to spread the wealth, deflate some overrated performances and glorify some oddball choices in your alternate universe.

@@thejohnnth haha that's true, the math of it and your creative freedom, it's quite addictive. Diane Lane was mesmerising, but I thought Unfaithful as a film had some weaknesses. I think, overall the best years for female performances are far and away: 1962 (Moreau, Monica Vitti, Anna Karina, Anna Magnani, the actress from Varda's Cléo, Bette Davis, Anne Bancroft) 1991 (Gong Li, Juliette Binoche, Irène Jacob, Jodie Foster, Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis) 2001 (Isabelle Huppert, Naomi Watts, Nicole Kidman, Audrey Tautou, Halle Berry, Sissy Spacek)

I've pretty much disagreed with 90% of the Academy's choices, and yet I picked Vivien Leigh for both of her Oscar winning performances. That says something in and of itself - her work aged like a fine wine, much better than most of her peers'. The characters she played, they align with a very postmodern idea of feminity and womanhood, one that defies morality, purity and pathos as the core elements of the female experience (if I'm allowed to use that term). She played flawed, unlikeable, controversial characters and ingrained such life in them. Her heroines are conflicting, evasive, vulnerable, real. Dare I say even more so than the quintessential Bette Davis bad bitch (and I love Bette Davis). I think in Streetcar she is superior to Marlon Brando (even if his performance is more significant historically speaking). Should you think of it, she has cemented her place in cinematic history with, in fact, no more than two performances. I can't bring myself to choose, but one of those masterclasses deserves a place in the top ten of all time.
