Good performances or no, I didn't like the movie at all. I couldn't wait for it to be over.<br /><br />It really is a damn good set of nominations. I'd love to see Deneuve here, but I really don't have a lot of complaints.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-53980722440831464452020-06-05T19:19:06.334-05:002020-06-05T19:19:06.334-05:00This is a really strong field and I can't say ...This is a really strong field and I can't say any didn't deserve their nods, though I would have rather seen Goldie here for Seems Like Old Times than Pvt. Benjamin. She's good in Benjamin but as you said Eileen Brennan steals every single scene she's in. <br /><br />Our lineups would defer in a few key places. Goldie would be last and Ellen would be first. For me both she and Eva Le Gallienne were just so powerful in Resurrection. But then it gets tricky with ranking the other three women because all of them are so damn great in their roles. <br /><br />Mary Tyler Moore is extraordinary in Ordinary People and part of that is how far out of her comfort zone she ventures but if that was all she wouldn't be here. She exposes the deep damage that has made Beth the enameled ice maiden that she has become. <br /><br />I liked Gloria more than you but without question it would be nothing with Gena Rowlands in the lead. She's a tremendous broad, fearless, tough as nails and inimitable. I know she has an Honorary Oscar but it's incredible that she never won a competitive one. <br /><br />Maybe because I'm not much of a country fan I wasn't that big a fan of Coal Miner's Daughter. Sissy (as well as Tommy Lee Jones and Beverly D'Angelo) is wonderful in the film, though she's given other performances I've like better, but I struggled through the film. <br /><br />With a lineup this good it would be hard to find a place for others but I agree about Catherine Denueve and I would love to have seen Lily Tomlin and her fantastic character work in 9 to 5 acknowledged. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-46484758252420554412020-06-05T18:45:51.564-05:002020-06-05T18:45:51.564-05:00I'm one of the rare people who fully supports ...I'm one of the rare people who fully supports <i>Ordinary People</i> for the win for Best Pidture. <i>Raging Bull</i>. got DeNiro an Oscar (as it should have) and should've gotten Scorsese one, but <i>Ordinary People</i> is as good today as it was 40 years ago. And Mary Tyler Moore kills it in every scene.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-20826050646205308742020-06-05T18:04:50.883-05:002020-06-05T18:04:50.883-05:00Wow, I so agree with you on Mary Tyler Moore in Or...Wow, I so agree with you on Mary Tyler Moore in <i>Ordinary People</i>. Yeah, I know the film gets shit on because it beat <i>Raging Bull</i> for Best Picture but that was a damn good movie. I'm also with you on Nancy Allen (though she's more supporting than lead), Catherine Deneuve, Helen Mirren, and Susan Sarandon while I would've vouched for Christine Buchegger from <i>From the Life of the Marionettes</i> by Ingmar Bergman (which is one of his underrated films). thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
