Great movie, great performance, and a character that really wouldn't work with anyone else in that role.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-84126554620092024132019-02-03T13:16:10.658-06:002019-02-03T13:16:10.658-06:00Mia wouldn't be your worst choice.

I'd go with Mia for the win despite the great work from Frances McDormand and Nastassja Kinski.

I love all five of these actresses and all have given performances worthy of an Oscar win yet I could easily come up with an alternate list of nominees this year with none of them on it. <br /><br />Sally would come the closest to making that list. She’d at least make my top 10, she is very strong and she’d be my winner also out of these five, but it seems the Academy was so caught up in the farm movie mini craze they wouldn’t look anywhere else. My ranking of the others would be much the same though I’d probably flip flop Vanessa Redgrave and Judy Davis-I hated A Passage to India which completely wasted her. <br /><br />I’m not much for horror though I did enjoy Night of the Comet and I really have to track down Paris, Texas one of these days but you’re other suggestions would make my long list of alternates as well and a couple my top 5. To those I’d add the quartet of Kathleen Turner in Romancing the Stone, Diane Keaton in Mrs. Soffel, JoBeth Williams in American Dreamer and Lesley Ann Warren-Choose Me as viable replacements. <br /><br />Though Kathleen Turner would be my winner (she’s sensational in her film and her character has a great arc) it would be tough to rank the other 9 (including Sally) but my list would run this way…at least today.<br /><br />Kathleen Turner-Romancing the Stone-Winner<br />Mia Farrow-Broadway Danny Rose-It is incredible that she’s never been nominated.<br />Molly Ringwald-Sixteen Candles<br />Linda Hamilton-The Terminator<br />JoBeth Williams-American Dreamer<br />Karen Allen-Starman<br />Sally Field-Places in the Heart<br />Diane Keaton-Mrs. Soffel<br />Frances McDormand-Blood Simple<br />Lesley Ann Warren-Choose Me joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.com
