A week before my grandma went on hospice and died and took her to go see Precious. I wanted to see it and thought she would fall asleep. She cried her throughout the film and when Monique was violent, grandma signaled to me Gabrielle was her. After the movie grandma told me the movie was her story. My grandma was a tiny little white lady, but Monique and Gabrielle's performance was transcending. That last week of grandma's life I thanked her for not continuing the cycle of abuse and being a wonderful mom to my mom who was wonderful to me. She also told us what we all suspected that her father raped her, but she insisted she did nothing wrong and was a good child. We told her she did nothing wrong. Then she died. I really think she was holding onto some sort of closure and Precious gave it to her. She spent her whole life feeling worthless because she didn't have a career and money, but really she was so strong for leaving her toxic family. Anyways, I totally forget Sandra's character leaving thr cinema.

For Asian-American actress Anna Mae Wong, mainly typecast as the villain at the time, her absolute worst Hollywood experience was losing the part of O-Lan in "The Good Earth" (1935) to Luise Rainer. Her filmed audition reportedly brought casting agents to tears, but in 1935 Hollywood, casting an Asian Actress in the lead opposite white leading Man Paul Muni, simply wasn't going to happen; they offered her the part of Lotus instead, which she made clear she would audition for but would not play, it being another stereotypical Asian role. This was when Anna pretty much gave up on Hollywood & herself, becoming a broken Alcoholic, just working to pay the bills, until her death in 1961 from a heart attack. This is what makes Luise Rainer's Oscar win for this role truly galling, as well as tragic.

- The main reason why Barbara Stanwick never won an Oscar it's because she was a freelancer and didn't have the power of a studio to push a big campaign for her. (Luise Rainer's back-to-back wins had MGM written all over them) - Helen Hayes is the only actor to get an Oscar for her first film and for her last. - Anna May Wong, the most famous Asian-American actress of the 1930s, campaigned hard for the lead role in The Good Earth, but since Paul Muni was cast as the male lead and the Hayes Code forbidded onscreen interracial couples, Wong couldn't play the lead role (even though she was the real Asian). If that stupid code didn't exist, we probably could have seen the first Asian actress getting an Oscar.

How about Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman? That was a legacy win, for sure. "Hoo-ah!" Ugh, after all the incredible characters of the '70's and '80's, they honor him for chewing up the scenery - "Hoo-ah!" He beat Eastwood in Unforgiven; Denzel in "Malcolm X"; Stephen Rea in "The Crying Game"; and RDJ in "Chaplin". The Academy is so messed up.

Even though they have an Honorary Oscar that they could give to them for their career. It defeats the idea of a competitive win and means that people who are worthy are themselves overlooked, only to be give "their turn" to win later in their career.

Bette Davis would have won another for "All About Eve" but didn't because of Ann Baxter being nominated in the same category and splitting the vote. Same thing happened with Susan Sarandon and Geena Davies for "Thelma & Louise". Also, Glenn Close would have won for "Fatal Attraction" if the Academy wasn't making up to Cher for not being nominated for "Mask" 2 years earlier. And poor Sigourney Weaver was nominated in two different categories in 1989 (lead for "Gorillas in the Mist" and supporting for "Working Girl") and lost them both. Both Close and Weaver have yet to win and if they do, it'll likely be "career" wins, given as recognition for past losses, which just takes away someone else's "win" and the cycle continues.

I totally agree with what you said about Helen Hayes's win of best supporting actress in Airport. Having lived through that time (I'm very old), all of the people who were into films at that time were saying exactly what you said about the performance and about Airport in general. In the era of Midnight Cowboy, Easy Rider, The Wild Bunch, They Shoot Horses Don't They, Little Big Man, MASH, and 5 Easy Pieces--an era of literate, challenging, brilliant movies--it was very disappointing that a mediocre disaster movie would get so much Oscar attention. Airport was the first to use the Disaster Movie formula: a terrifying disaster involving tons of people portrayed by big name stars and occasional non-acting celebrities, where we watch most of them slowly die, and cheer when a remnant survives. It was followed by The Towering Inferno, The Poseidon Adventure, Earthquake, maybe even Titanic, etc. etc. In terms of purely dollars and cents, Airport was the most important movie of 1970, kind of like Batman or one of the other superhero movies of the late 80s and 90s.

Jack Nicholson winning best actor for As Good As It Gets in 1998 belongs on this list. He mailed in his performance, doing his Jack Nicholson personaa, and he was _badly_ miscast (much too old, even by Hollywood standards) against Helen Hunt, but (as we see several times on this list), he got the Best Actor award as a kind of "Lifetime Achievement" Oscar. He has given some wonderful performances (and won Oscars for some of them), but this was SO not one of them. Either Robert Duvall (for the Apostle) or Matt Damon (for Good Will Hunting) were far more deserving.

I think Jean Hagen's performance in Singin' in the Rain is a better version of Judy Holliday's performance in Born Yesterday who won an Oscar for that film who robbed the Oscar from Gloria Swanson's masterful performance in Sunset Boulevard. Judy Holliday had a squeaky voice and starred as a dumb blonde like Jean Hagen, but Judy Holliday was not funny and annoying. Jean Hagen was enjoyably dumb and entertaining to the point of being hilarious. Jean Hagen was nominated for Singin' in the Rain and lost. I think Jean Hagen is more worthy of winning an Oscar for Singin' in the Rain than Judy Holliday winning for Born Yesterday.

I don’t think you are in a position to exercise proper judgement based on watching a part of a film that also requires a historically-based sensitivity to the performance standards of the period. At the very least, you would need to have watched a selection of the other nominated films in an effort to determine the acting conventions that prevailed, especially at a time when the transition from silent to sound film was sending waves through the industry.

I've read a lot about movies and when it comes to this performance movies historians and critics always agree it's not a good one. Pickford was a mega star in the silent movies era and never transitioned to the talkies well. The movie shows why I guess she wasn't made to star in the talkies. She basically stopped acting then and all her good stuff belongs to the silent movies era. Other actresses that started off in the 20s did well in the talkies too... Think of Gaynor, who won the first Oscar ever for best actress or of course Greta Garbo. Pickford won, I think, based on her status as a superstar and that's it. She couldn't act vocally in a good way and this movie is completely forgotten because it sucked.

When movies have several leads nominated in the same category, they often cancel each other because voters are split (it's the Bette Davis and Anne Baxter All About Eve curse) so often times, actors will decide to campaign for supporting and i'm pretty sure that happened there, considering the comments by Ali about the oscars

@@KentAPeterson The difference is that Tomei deserved it, while Hunt should have lost to Bonham Carter. I would argue Hunt shouldn't have been nominated.

Ginger Rogers beating Joan Fontaine in "Rebecca" and Katherine Hepburn in "The Philadelphia Story" is the worst ever.

How the hell is Tommy Lee Jones not on this list? It wasn't even a performance. It was just Jones being Jones. Like most of his performances.

I concur but I believe Joan Fontaine was compensated for not winning for Rebecca

One performance I would definitely add to this list would be Helen Hunt's undeserved Best Actress Oscar® for the hokey, overblown _As Good As It Gets,_ also starring Jack Nicholson (whom, honestly, didn't deserve his Oscar® either in my opinion). I never saw the reason for all the acclaim that movie got. I still don't.

Totally agree. Both actors miscast, Hunt is boring in everything she does, very one dimensional.

Yep, that’s a puzzler. She’s not really a Hollywood person. Did she ever make another movie? Someone did something for someone. Agree about Jack too, but he, at least, is a great actor. Maybe they realized Jack’s days were numbered.
