      She could have been bigger but she had lousy management. It was especially hard for a child actor to ride a career on into
      adulthood. It usually doesn't work. More child stars of the 30s and 40s transitioned easily. Liz Taylor, Debbie Reynolds, and Garland were a few.

    Piper Laurie as Margaret White is my #1, what a genius, unconventional and well rounded performance. Her choice to play this dark character with comedic undertones actually made Margaret that much more unhinged and menacing
    See Patricia Clarkson and Julianne Moore’s flat and understated portrayals of the character for contrast. Both are wonderful actresses but made the character way too subdued. Piper was “over the top” in the best possible way and deserved that Oscar win

    Sigourney Weaver's performance in Aliens is so emotional and deep; people just don't know! Through the Directors Cut, you learn she sees Newt as the daughter she lost while in space. This adds so much more depth to her actions. Shes in almost every scene of a 2+ hour film, carrying it on her shoulders. And her eyes, they are eveything; they tell the story! So much depth comes through, every emotion shes feeling without needing words. They are not required, and you know exactly what she's thinking and feeling as you watch her tell half of the story with her subtle yet so telling gestures. Arguably one of cinemas greatest performances!

I mean, I was SO scared for the kids and EVERYONE in that movie! Mitchum gave such a dark, scary, heart-pounding performance in that film, it kept me at the edge of my seat and stayed with me LONG after I first watched it! Have you seen this Mitchum film, that should be lauded much more, in my opinion? If not, I strongly recommend it, since you love movies of that ilk. If you have, what do/did you think about it?

    Michael Clarke Duncan for Green Mile, Tom Cruise for Magnolia, even Jude Law’s performance in Talented Mr Ripley.
    The Academy went the safe route and gave it to Michael Caine….who, had already picked up an Oscar twenty years prior.
    It should have gone to Haley Joel…but, Cruise and Duncan would have been acceptable picks too.

    For me personally, the biggest snub of all time, was Jessica Walter in "Play Misty for Me". She won a Golden Globe for her performance but didn't even get a nomination for an Oscar, for one of the best portrayals of "Borderline Personality Disorder" ever put to film. Glenn Close in a similar performance for "Fatal Attraction" (some say a complete ripoff of Jessica Walter) was brilliantly off kilter and frightening but Jessica Walter was just completely unhinged. But her performance never slipped into the realm of "Grand Guignol" territory. She was always one hundred percent believable. And utterly terrifying.

  • @waynechapman9823

    “Psycho” received four Oscar nominations, but it deserved to win more than four awards: Picture, Director, Lead Actor, Supporting Actress, Editing, Original Score, and Adapted Screenplay. Of course, there’s confusion over whether Anthony Perkins or Janet Leigh gave lead or supporting performances, but since Norman Bates carries us to the end of the film while Marion Crane does not, I say he’s the real lead and she’s the faux lead (aka supporting).

    • @pony7653
      @pony7653 Před 8 měsíci +1

      Anthony Perkins is definitely the real lead. We are following Norman’s story for most of the movie and Perkins’ performance carries it. Anthony Perkins even gets top billing (“starring Anthony Perkins”) and Janet Leigh gets the usual “and Janet Leigh as Marion Crane”, like you would do for a famous actor playing a supporting character.

    Jason Miller had the least flashy role in The Exorcist, but he knocked it out of the park. The movie would not have been the same without him.
    IMHO Anthony Hopkins was much better in Magic, a psychological horror film made in 1977 (I believe), before he was a big star. He effectively played two parts, one understated, and one very evil (voice only, as a ventriloquist's dummy).
