What about pre-1950?
Great list, I agree with most of them. :-)
I guess I could add Joan Fontaine in Rebecca on here, but I don't think I've seen any nominees pre-1950 apart from that. Well, I did see Wendy Hiller in Pgymalion, but I can hardly remember her performance. What did you think of the list?
Thanks Dinasztie!
Great list! Only a few weird ones! :D
I know that you didn't like Hathaway, Page, Kidman, and Huston. Are there any other ones that you don't like?
Ryder.
I kinda suspected that, since you said on Fritz's ranking for Jessica Lane that you disagree with Ryder winning the Oscar. Why didn't you like her?
One of the most unatural actresses in history.
I don't think she is supposed to be natural in Little Women. As I've said before, I felt that she was terrible in The Crucible and lacking in Girl Interupted, but she delivered a compelling, outstanding performance in Little Women, in my opinion.
