I love <i>Network</i>, but I'm certainly not averse to penalizing an actor for disliking the film that was nominated. I can't really blame you for doing the same here to the winner I pick.<br /><br />For me, Spacek is the beginning, middle, and end of what's worth seeing in <i>Carrie</i>. It's not a film I'd want to watch again any time soon, since I don't think it's that great, but if I do watch it again, it will be entirely for her.

She's good but perhaps because I don't like the film, it's almost disturbingly prescient and I admire it for that but I didn't enjoy it, I'm less enamored of her work then I should be. <br /><br />I agree that Liv has scored more heavily than she does in Face to Face and Talia Shire is fine in Rocky but its Stallone's movie and any competent actress could have delivered what she did. I've yet to see Cousin, Cousine. I would have pulled all three of them out of the race and replaced them with Sonia Braga in Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands, Geraldine Chaplin in Welcome to L.A. and Barbara Harris in Freaky Friday with Faye and Sissy Spacek remaining.<br /><br />So that leaves Sissy Spacek as my winner. I'm not a big fan of the film either, I'm not a horror fan although Carrie could be considered a suspense film with supernatural elements, but her performance elevates the film to another level. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-24094381117871506052015-08-21T13:38:54.261-05:002015-08-21T13:38:54.261-05:00I pretty much knew I wasn't going to see the r...I pretty much knew I wasn't going to see the remake of <i>Carrie</i> the minute I heard about it. I don't like the original enough to warrant what would most likely be a less-competent knock-off.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-41486911616013032162015-08-21T12:55:13.908-05:002015-08-21T12:55:13.908-05:00I haven't seen Face to Face, and I saw Cousin,...I haven't seen Face to Face, and I saw Cousin, Cousine so long ago that I remember nothing about the performances, so I can't comment on them.<br /><br />I agree Dunaway is the clear winner here. I don't have a strong opinion on the order of 2 and 3. I do agree Carrie is kind of overrated. Don't bother with the recent remake if you haven't seen it, by the way.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-44943467482343412202015-08-21T11:06:16.114-05:002015-08-21T11:06:16.114-05:00I recommend it without hesitation.
