Talia Shire gives a bland, nothing performance in which she never tried to expand her character, but instead gave in to the limits of the script.
4. Marie -Chrisine Barrault in Cousin, Cousine:
Although her character is a little too simple, Barrault still gives a subtle, wonderful portrayal that is very enjoyable.
3. Faye Dunaway in Network:
Faye Dunaway is superb as Diana, making her a fascinating, exciting character that never becomes a stereotype.
2. Sissy Spacek in Carrie:
Sissy Spacek gives a low key, beautifully portrayed performance that is simply a marvel. Brilliant work!
1. Liv Ullman in Face To Face:
Although it's never fully explained why Jenny becomes crazy, Liv Ullman doesn't let that bring her down. She gives a devastating, amazingly convincing and realistic performance that never goes over the top.

Ah, my guess was very close!
Nice work! What's next?
Thanks! And yes, it was VERY hard to decide who would win, and I'm not sure if this is my final ranking, but I'm fine with this now.
You'll see soon!
Hmmmmm. Not sure about ranking, I hate doing that (kudos to you who do) but referring to Shire although I'm no big fan of Rocky I find her performance to be the highpoint of the film. She strikes me as very aware of Adrian's uneasiness and plays it well in relation to her adulation of Rocky. But I know, many hate it.
A pretty strong year besides Shire. I suspected you would go with Ullman.
Andrew: To each his own. Did you like her in the Godfather movies?
Louis Morgan: Yes, it was strong year, and I guess you were right!
Well you know my feelings :)
I was hoping for a Faye win though, but Liv was incredibly deserving as well!
I'm sorry! I thought you might be a little disappointed, but it really is a three way tie between Liv, Sissy, and Faye- they were all amazing!
Sissy is my pick so I'm happy she ranked second.
