    I can only think how unjust that Peter O'Toole didn't win an Oscar for Lawrence of Arabia, one of the greatest male performances ever. And yet so was Gregory Peck's in To Kill A Mockingbird. If ever there was a merited tie, as well as Burton and Scofield in 1967, it was in 1963 too. And of course, the rightness of the tie for K Hepburn and Barbra Streisand in 1969. Ah, the greatness of the 60s !!!

      I am a huge fan of Peter O'Toole. He should have won a Oscar for THE STUNT MAN or VENUS or LION IN WINTER, years that were fairly weak for Best Actor nominations. I loved him in BECKETT, but he was going against co-star Richard Burton, and both were going against Rex Harrison for MY FAIR LADY. He was Oscar worthy for THE RULING CLASS but was up against Marlon Brando for THE GODFATHER. I liked him in GOODBYE, MR. CHIPS (and I know a lot of people hate the movie), but he was in a competitive year and sentiment was going with John Wayne. In retrospect, the Academy should have given John Wayne a honorary Oscar, and give the Best Actor Award of O'Toole or Richard Burton for ANNE OF A THOUSAND DAYS

      Yes! As you and I know, some years were just so damn competitive, with several worthy performances. Of course, that's ideally how the Oscar should be - what happened in the later years??

      @@ConanTheLibrarian-n5q We are both his huge fans. I appreciate your analysis; it's excellent. O'Toole did go up against some remarkably strong performances, Peck and Harrison and Brando, unfortunately. There was just no way he shouldn't have won for The Lion in Winter. No other nominee came near him. That was the Academy's chance. Cliff Robertson ridiculous....

    Now, I have a hard time sitting for these great video clips.
    2. One argument for Shelly W in Anne Frank winning Best Supporting Actress and it wasn't category fraud like Tatum O in Paper Moon.
    There were so many table scenes with the whole cast; it was the only place and time for everyone to interact.
    Other times of the day, they couldn't talk, in fear of being found out.

    Thanks for this fantastic video. When I was in college, I studied statistics. So, seeing so many numbers put a big smile on my face😊 A few points.
    First, of the 10 Supporting Actress performances in your video, 3 of them were from actresses who were extremely young at the time (Tatum O’Neal, Patty Duke, Hailee Steinfeld) - I can’t help thinking age (and not role) was the main factor in them (and others) being in that category.
    Second, of the 20 performances in your video, most of them were in fairly contemporary movies (from the 90’s and after, including 2 from this year alone) - Coincidence?
    Third, one Supporting Actress winning performance highlighted in your video was Alicia Vikander in the Danish Girl. After checking, I learned she was nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs. On the reverse side, Kate Winslet won Best Actress at the Oscars for the Reader, but Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globes and the SAG Awards. Is it a case of the same issue, but, at the Oscars, Kate ultimately getting it right and Alicia ultimately getting it wrong? It’s interesting to see the same performance in different categories for different awards.
    Lastly, reading that Charlton Heston was in over 2 hours of Ben-Hur, but it represented only 55% of this movie reminded me how long that movie is!🤪

    Jodie Foster could be either lead or supporting but the main focus isn’t on her character so supporting is fine.
    Hailee, Rooney, Tatum and Alicia are lead
    Duke could be considered lead but Bancroft is too . I don’t mind it here because both could be legitimately lead and support.
    Viola could go either way while Shelley is supporting .
    Marianne I think is supporting
    My favorites that won Viola Davis and Patty Duke
    Favorite nominees that didn’t win Marianne and Jodie
    Nominees for best actor Denzel and Leonardo are my favorites.

    @Kevin-rg3yc 4 місяці тому +1

    Rooney Mara was particularly the lead in Carol she even stated she was disappointed by her submission to the supporting category given she won best actress at Cannes, I feel she wasn’t nominated bc of name recognition best actress from when the Oscars started in 1928 was made for actresses that were leading ladies or A-list movie stars even when they were barely in the movie (look Patricia o’Neal in hud)

    • @oscarman42
      @oscarman42  4 місяці тому +1

      Neal in Hud is always the example I use for that category. As for Mara, I think it was doubtful she would share lead with Cate Blanchett, even though she actually had more screen time.

    Good afternoon, friends
    Dis n dat
    1) LAWRENCE OF ARABIA on the big screen is one of the films that got me to love movies.
    2) One of my fondest memories is taking my father to see GIVE 'EM HELL, HARRY.
    3) While it has been parodied more times than I can count, the Jennifer Jones scene from SINCE YOU WENT AWAY still has great power, especially when you consider that she was leaving her husband and co-star Robert Walker for the film's producer David O. Selznick.
    4) Few actresses have been honored for playing so many disagreeable characters as Shelly Winters. In addition to DIARY OF ANNE FRANK, she won a Best Supporting Actress award for A PATCH OF BLUE and was nominated for Best Actress for A PLACE IN THE SUN. Ms. Winters gave her Oscar to the Anne Frank Museum and House in Amsterdam
