Notes: Dianne Wiest the only actress in Academy history to win two awards for performances directed by the same guy.

Went for shattering over funny, so Hemingway. But all of these except for Cruz are fantastic.

Sorvino is the only one that made me go wtf.

― A deeper shade of lol (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 4 July 2013 01:28 (twelve years ago)

Really? Sorvino more so than Cruz?

― The Butthurt Locker (cryptosicko), Thursday, 4 July 2013 01:29 (twelve years ago)

I dislike both movies but Cruz's presence and charm >>>> Sorvino's.

― A deeper shade of lol (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 4 July 2013 01:32 (twelve years ago)

Also, I know that 7 is a lot of nominees in one category from one director, but I still would have expected it to be more.

― The Butthurt Locker (cryptosicko), Thursday, 4 July 2013 01:36 (twelve years ago)

Haven't seen VCB...Davis will win, but I'll go for Wiest in Hannah. These are all nominated performances, I assume. I think I like Barbara Hershey just as much in Hannah, also Mia Farrow in Crimes and Misdemeanors (or is that lead?). There are probably funnier non-nominated performances scattered about, like whoever plays his sister in Hannah.

― clemenza, Thursday, 4 July 2013 01:37 (twelve years ago)

Check that--his sister in Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Davis telling Neeson that his driving on their date was fine "for the most part" one of my fave throwaway bits in any Allen film.

― The Butthurt Locker (cryptosicko), Thursday, 4 July 2013 01:40 (twelve years ago)

For laffs, I'd go for Elaine May in... wtf was the Honeymooners Get Rich comedy w/ Tracey Ullman?

― playwright Greg Marlowe, secretly in love with Mary (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 4 July 2013 01:40 (twelve years ago)

Small Time Crooks! And yes, May is terrific in that one!

"The director FOUGHT his way out of it"

― A deeper shade of lol (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 4 July 2013 01:48 (twelve years ago)

I'm with clem that Wiest was fabulous in Hannah: his most human neurotic woman (and very much an eighties New Yorker type)? I'm stuck between her and Davis, who for me fuses neuroses and intelligence better than any actress since Bette Davis -- yeah yeah hyperbole.

― A deeper shade of lol (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 4 July 2013 01:49 (twelve years ago)

Only thing I dislike about Hannah is Wiest's very-Woody transformation from New York punk rocker to classical music patron as significant of character growth, but yeah, she's great.

― The Butthurt Locker (cryptosicko), Thursday, 4 July 2013 01:53 (twelve years ago)

PopMatters did a feature on the women of Woody's films a few years back; my bit on May is in there somewhere.

Thought for a second there was a dark side I missed to Midnight in Paris

― lols lane (Eazy), Thursday, 4 July 2013 02:06 (twelve years ago)

i dont really "get" judy davis i dont think

will prob vote mira or stapleton

― johnny crunch, Thursday, 4 July 2013 02:08 (twelve years ago)

wasn't the screechy Tilly sister AA-nominated for playing herself?

Bullets is being Broadway musicalized btw. Woody's writing the book, probably won't fix any of the script flaws.

― playwright Greg Marlowe, secretly in love with Mary (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 4 July 2013 02:22 (twelve years ago)

oh right: forgot Tilly. Not sure who'd vote for her (Eric?).

― A deeper shade of lol (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 4 July 2013 02:23 (twelve years ago)

and Samantha Morton, dude!

If only Tilly had been mute.

― playwright Greg Marlowe, secretly in love with Mary (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 4 July 2013 02:26 (twelve years ago)

All the Oscarshit attention is why he gets these casts for no dough

― playwright Greg Marlowe, secretly in love with Mary (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 4 July 2013 02:27 (twelve years ago)

for some reason i thought meryl was nommed for manhattan

― i wanna be a gabbneb baby (Hungry4Ass), Thursday, 4 July 2013 02:36 (twelve years ago)

might've voted morton if alf included her

― i wanna be a gabbneb baby (Hungry4Ass), Thursday, 4 July 2013 02:36 (twelve years ago)

Morton got a Best Actress nod, guys.

― A deeper shade of lol (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 4 July 2013 02:37 (twelve years ago)

oh yeah: she did. Sorry.

― A deeper shade of lol (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 4 July 2013 02:38 (twelve years ago)

Wiest! in Hannah. by a mile.

― piscesx, Thursday, 4 July 2013 03:07 (twelve years ago)

Hemingway for me

― Darin, Thursday, 4 July 2013 03:18 (twelve years ago)

hemingway is so heartbreaking in that role.

― Treeship, Thursday, 4 July 2013 03:31 (twelve years ago)

davis vs wiest-in-hannah. probably the latter. i feel that way too, david. i hate april. she's pushy.

― the white queen and her caustic judgments (difficult listening hour), Thursday, 4 July 2013 03:49 (twelve years ago)

ah, screw it.

― the white queen and her caustic judgments (difficult listening hour), Thursday, 4 July 2013 03:49 (twelve years ago)

hemingway's perfect in manhattan but otoh she's a terrible actress so it doesnt feel right to vote for her

― i wanna be a gabbneb baby (Hungry4Ass), Thursday, 4 July 2013 05:21 (twelve years ago)

and, as John Simon pointed out, she looks like Papa with his beard shaved off.

― A deeper shade of lol (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 4 July 2013 11:52 (twelve years ago)

No way I'd vote Tilly over Wiest in Bombs Over Baghdad.

― Not Simone Choule (Eric H.), Thursday, 4 July 2013 12:08 (twelve years ago)

I'm with you Alfred, Sorvino's the only "um ... OK" nod.

― Not Simone Choule (Eric H.), Thursday, 4 July 2013 12:09 (twelve years ago)

I remember Sorvino being funny.

Cruz's role and her performance are mortifying.

― playwright Greg Marlowe, secretly in love with Mary (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 4 July 2013 15:52 (twelve years ago)

The role and the movie are mortifying. Her performance wasn't.

― Not Simone Choule (Eric H.), Thursday, 4 July 2013 16:02 (twelve years ago)

kinda like Lina Wertmuller was a p good director

― playwright Greg Marlowe, secretly in love with Mary (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 4 July 2013 16:30 (twelve years ago)

sorry, i meant Leni Riefenstahl. Need iced coffee.

― playwright Greg Marlowe, secretly in love with Mary (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 4 July 2013 16:30 (twelve years ago)

I remember Cruz being really shrieky and hysterical in VCB, but its not like she was helped out any by the film itself.

― The Butthurt Locker (cryptosicko), Thursday, 4 July 2013 18:17 (twelve years ago)

VCB is so bad. Morton shouldve gotten it for sweet and lowdown. Wiest probably my favorite of these but hard to deny davis... she was really on a roll at this point in her career.

― the Spanish Porky's (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 4 July 2013 21:47 (twelve years ago)

She was! Naked Lunch, Barton Fink, and the Chopin movie is a helluva streak. The fiction I wrote in this period boasted a sexy neurotic Davis- esque character.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.
