Oscar-nominated performances in Woody Allen movies

1992: Judy Davis in Husbands and Wives - nominated for best supporting actress

this is my fav

Martin Landau in Crimes and Misdemeanors

this is my fav

judy davis was second choice.

Judy Davis in Husbands and Wives is one of my favorite performances by anybody.

Very fond of Dianne Wiest in Hannah, Maureen Stapleton in Interiors, and Penn.

Samantha Morton in Sweet and Lowdown. Such subtlety opposite Penn's magnificent overacting.

one of the below:

1977: Diane Keaton in Annie Hall - won best actress (i mean come on people)
1986: Dianne Wiest in Hannah and Her Sisters - won best supporting actress
1986: Michael Caine in Hannah and Her Sisters - won best supporting actor (hannah is my favourite WA)
1989: Martin Landau in Crimes and Misdemeanors - nominated for best supporting actor (so good)

gotta be landau

tho now you all are making me want to see husbands & wives

landau is good i guess but kinda mannered, stagey, and all that haunted staring gets old

stagey how

wish they had sydney pollack, classic asshole perf

sydney POLLack

stagey how

i dunno some of the line readings, especially when he's talking to waterston, he almost sounds like he's auditioning, or bad-acting on purpose

I <3 haunted staring

can't get enough of it

if you've got a good haunted stare, I say come get yr oscar no ballots required

How Landau's character whips himself into feeling guilty (about all the terrible shit he's done (when he doesn't care all that much) is the linchpin of the movie.

forget that first open parenthesis.

done.

Pretty boring, but one of these three:

1977: Diane Keaton in Annie Hall - won best actress
1992: Judy Davis in Husbands and Wives - nominated for best supporting actress
1994: Dianne Wiest in Bullets Over Broadway - won best supporting actress

Probably gonna vote Wiest, tho, since someone's gotta.

^^^I already did

tho honestly I coulda voted for at least a dozen of these

who is woody allen?

that's what shakey's wife is saying

kinda where i was going with that, asexual zingbot 2009 ned raggett

kinda where i was going with that, asexual zingbot 2009 ned raggett

no shit sherlock i was making a fake-obvious subtle zing of your obvious zing... WHEELS WITHIN WHEELS bro

oh i get it the joke was that you made the joke bad and obvious like they do on the office

Is anyone going to vote Mariel Hemingway?

Anyway Davis, Landau or Keaton. I'm leaning towards the last, I think.

1986: Michael Caine in Hannah and Her Sisters - won best supporting actor

this is pretty fun to watch iirc

so good

Is anyone going to vote Mariel Hemingway?

she was terrible in Superman IV

H&HS is great and pretty much everyone in it deserved an award with the possible exception of Barbara Hershey but even she isn't so bad

not sure it needed my help actually :D

Is there a poll on Best Woody Allen Proxies? Caine, Cusack, Branagh, etc.

H&HS is great and pretty much everyone in it deserved an award with the possible exception of Barbara Hershey but even she isn't so bad

No way! I wish I had a sister in law that hot!

Is there a poll on Best Woody Allen Proxies?

^^^second this idea

Best Woody Allen Impersonator

i'm not sure if Shakey was kidding or if he's trying to shift the forgetful/confused zings from his wife to himself

huh? kidding about what?

who said what now?

you just seconded an idea for a thread that you yourself started less than 2 years ago

look up and you might catch a glimpse of the joke going over your head

H&HS is great and pretty much everyone in it deserved an award

This is true, I especially love Max von Sydow.

what happened? i am confused.

tempted to go for a challopsy jennifer tilly vote

most people wouldn't get that joke

what about his wife - would she get it

It's an old Estonian joke so probably.

the marx brothers ovah heah

Speaking of WA, I just watched Love and Death, and enjoyed it quite a bit. It's like Woody Allen does Mel Brooks. Seems under appreciated.

I want ya'll to play this at funerals in the hood.
Til all this black on black crime stop.
Some say the blind lead the blind.
But in the ghetto you never know,
When it's gon be yo time.

Sittin at the ghetto thinkin bout
All my homies passed away (uuunnnggghhh!)
Candy painted cadillacs and triple gold
That's how me and my boys rolled
How could it be?
Somebody took my boy from me
My best friend's gone
And I'm so all alone
I really miss my homies
Even though they gone away
I know you in a better place
And I hope to see ya soon someday

I used to hang with my boy even slang with my boy
Used to bang with my boy, goddam I miss my boy
We started out youngstas in the park throwin birds
In your hearse, damn it's sad to see my nigga in the dirt
The game got me workin, got me perkin, never jerkin
Still blowin dolja fo ya cause I know you up there workin
Ya little baby's cool and ya baby's mama straight
But today's a sad day to see the t-shirt with ya face
From the cradle to the grave, from the streets we used to fall
In the park you liked to ball, put yo name upon the wall
In the projects you's a legend on the street you was a star
But it's sad to see my homeboy ridin in that black car
A lotta soldiers done died, a lotta mothers done cried
You done took yo piece of the pie but you was too young to retire
Why soldiers ride for yo name leave it vain
Some Gs never change, damn they killed you for some change
Smile for my homie Kevin Miller my boy Randall
The ghetto persons that lost they loved ones to these ghetto scandals

Take a minute to smile for the dead (uuunnnggghhh!)

How could it be?
Somebody took my boy from me
(It's like I can't believe you gone)
My best friend's gone
(Sometimes I feel like I can't go on)
And I'm so all alone
(Everytime I see something you done left
I really miss my homies
(It just remind me, more and more of you, dawg)
Even though they gone away
(I just keep reminiscin)
I know you in a better place
(Cause I know you alright)
And I hope to see ya soon someday
(And I keep smilin, knowin I'm a see you in the crossroads]

We used to grip on the grain and flip them candy toys
But I'd give up all that bullshit if I could get back my boy
Off in the club smokin weed til 3, hollerin at the hoes
Spendin $4000 on me on gators and clothes
When I turned to rap, he had to chase the game
Nigga told me, "C, leave that dope, cause rappin is yo thang"
I ain't gone even lie, some nights I ride and cry
Wonderin why the real niggas always the ones to die
So I just smoke my weed and try to clear my mind
I wish that I had the power to turn back the hands of time
I wonder if there's a heaven up there for real Gs
For all the niggas in the game that be sellin keys
I keep my memories, try to keep my head stromg
But baby it's hard to be strong, when yo main homie gone

Even though you gone away
(Even though you gone, you ain't never gon be forgotten)
I know you in a better place
(Cause as long as I'm here
You gon live through me and other TRU playas)
I really miss my homies
Even though they gone away
I know you in a better place
And I hope to see ya soon someday

I'm just sittin here dazed thinkin bout all the times we had
Thinkin the past, some was good and some was bad
Remember Dante?
It was a group of us, just a group of five
Now three dead, one in jail, it seem right now I'm the only one alive
To all my soldiers before me, may ya'll rest in peace
When He took three, took my soul, just the bodies
He at the crossroads guide us out to the rest of me
Wishin I could rewind time like demos
Me and you gettin girls, writin down numbers like memos
Makin million dollar bets, makin all our money stretch like limos
Even though I smile, it's sad, but they say gangstas can't cry
But if I close my eyes and visualize me together
Then I suddenly wanna smile
To see you laid down when it's yo time, when your time was up
You never seen your child, but he's here to remind us
Even though you was wrong, I never could belive that that was true
You was with me forever, you could check my rest in peace tattoos
See me and C and P forever gon be ridin and thuggin
Rest in peace to all the ones that didn't make it
And rest in peace to my brother
We gon miss you

(I love these fools)
I know you in a better place
(Every time I get on my knees)
And I hope to see ya soon someday
(I pray for you, I'm glad you in a better place
I hope I see ya soon, ain't no more killin
Ain't no more fights, and ain't no more tears)

Tilly's good, but Annie Joe Edwards would've been my pick for a second supporting actress nod from that film.

Love and Death is def my favorite of the early, more screwball movies. some really funny gags in it.
xxp

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Eric doesn't really consider acting a big priority in films...

I don't care if Woody is a limited actor, Alvy Singer is a classic character; Groucho got no respect, either.

I really can't choose between Penn, Keaton, Stapleton and Davis. (The stinker is obv Tilly. And Alan Alda shoulda been nom'd for C&M.)

jeezus, have you ppl seen J Tilly interviewed? I don't think Woody told her the cameras were rolling.

You could make the same claim about Alda though.

, I just watched Love and Death, and enjoyed it quite a bit. It's like Woody Allen does Mel Brooks.

nope...

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/513TX3SE75L._SL500_AA280_.jpg

Alex, no way! Alda seems pretty self-deprecating (whether that's 'real' or not) and lacking in pomp, at least since he left the A-list.

casting alda as an asshole is a brilliant move imo!

But how many of these actors are so devoted to their craft that they'd miss the Oscars to work on Jaws 4?

Alda may be the funniest character in a Woody Allen movie ("I think I'm too cute").

Mia Farrow is pretty damn funny in Radio Days & B'way Danny Rose

voted Tilly to protest Alda not getting a nom

agreed Alda should've been the C&M nominee over Landau.

nom nom nom

i never seem to like the Woody films/actors that get the Oscars. (except Mira in Mighty Aphrodite)
i am going for Samantha, one of her best roles. Too bad Alda was never even nominated. Great guy.

Mussolini clip in C&M = A+

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

lotsa ILXors had their mistress bumped off

The face of Martin Landau

http://mos.totalfilm.com/images/c/crimes-and-misdemeanors-190-75.jpg

http://www.theu.com/images/celebs/optician_judah.gif

who is the lead of C & M if not Landau? Why wasn't he up for best actor?

cuz lead nominees like him kill Oscar ratings.
it was an ensemble film, everyone was "supporting."

also, he was better in Tucker.

Just watched Interiors for the first time. I doubt that she would top this list in the grand scheme of things, but Geraldine Page was pretty devastatingly good.
