Every Academy Award Best Actress In A Leading Role Oscar winner from 1927's Janet Gaynor to 2019's Renée Zellweger. ------ Instagram - / ajhmate Twitter - / ajhmate
Thank you to everyone for your support on this video and for for helping it reach one million views almost exactly a year after I initially uploaded it. Can't wait to share the Best Supporting Actress edit with all of you once it's completed.
Back when everyone was outraged Leo DiCaprio hadn’t won an award, Amy Adams had been nominated the same number of times in a much shorter time span. Amy Adams is a truly terrific actress and I cannot wait til she wins her award. She truly deserves it.
Some of the really big stars had their own cinematographer, AFAIK. VIctor Milner seemed to follow Barbara Stanwyck from film to film, for instance. And their own rules - nobody was allowed to film Claudette Colbert from her "bad side".
If she had won for The African Queen and Summertime and The Philadelphia Story, she would "literally" have appeared in this video 7 times. If anyone deserved multiple Oscars, it was Katharine Hepburn.
As much as I loved her in that film, I have often wondered why neither she nor anyone else in the cast of DOLORES CLAIBORNE, a far more complex and difficult film, received so much as a nomination.
@@Scottsteaux63 I totally agree! Bates herself said.. she wished she had received an Oscar nomination for Dolores. She said on numerous occasions.. it was the work she "was most proud of"
Katharine Hepburn deserved every oscar. She was outstanding, sophisticated, unique and a brillant actress. Considering she won 4 oscars and worked from 1928 until 1994 (66 years) is impressive. She sadly died of Cardiac Arrest in 2003 at 96. We'II never get an actress like her ever again.
Today's actors have to be excellent character actors who can "nail the accent". In the Lion in Winter, Hepburn didn't even try to do an English accent it didn't matter because she was that good, it still worked.
@@oceans80 Although, Eleanor of Aquitaine would likely have had a French accent, and probably an interesting one, having been born and brought up in the South of that country, and having spent more than a decade up north as wife of Louis VII. By the same token, French was also the native language of Henry II -- as I understand it, John was the first English speaking king of England since Conquest. So about 99% of this movie should have been in French. But all good. We get Hepburn and O'Toole, and that's great enough for me.
1954: sheer highway robbery. I love, love Grace Kelly and she’s really great in The Country Girl but, c’mon. It was Judy’s year. She lit up the screen and our hearts with her immeasurable talent as never before in A Star is Born, just amazing.
I remember reading a biography on Grace Kelly once, and even the biographer stated that Grace's win was more a symbolic winning for all the other good movies she'd put out that year, not really for The Country Girl specifically. So yeah, Judy was robbed.
@@pdgf Did you see The Accused? I mean, I love Glenn and she did phenomenal in Dangerous Liaisons, but... Really, the entire lineup was superb that year, tough call for anyone to make. Put the names in a hat and draw, lol.
I'm with you, Lindsay. Unfortunately, her extraordinary performance - on so many levels - seems to buried in the current backlash against the film itself. Well, never mind: some one of these years down the line, a whole new generation will "discover" Miss Leigh once again (along with the film, and it is to be hoped "GWTW" will be seen in the context of the time).
I totally agree. Hilary is like a unicorn where she embodies the character in the movie unlike some Hollywood actors where they can’t help by play themselves all the time, like Meryl.
I want to make it a personal goal to watch all of these award winning performances. Even just seeing them here, I can see and feel the power of these women burn through the lens.
Make the effort to get Turner Classic Movies then. Every August they spend a whole day on one star, and every pre-Oscar show they unreel as many past winners and nominees as possible. Worth every penny.
I been looking for this comment, all the actresses mentioned in this video regardless of their success- which I don't deny- it because somebody ACTUALLY cast them, the lack of casting women of color in leading role lead to this result. Hoping this would change soon.
A 24 year old actress with four hours of film resting squarely and solely on her shoulders. Vivien Leigh in " Gone With The Wind". Possibly the greatest Tour de Force in Cinematic History.
You are absolutely right. I remember realizing this as as young man and thinking, how does she relax? Then I found out that she and Mr. Gable played "Battleship" between takes.
Jim Perretta You were absolutely correct on that. She also won for “Streetcar Named “Desire”. Hollywood was so Frustrated that she didn’t want to stay at Hollywood after GWTW but she felt that England was her home and also that she was more of a theater actress.
@@robynalvin6319 I am also frustrated that she didn't make more movies, in Britain or America. She is one of the greatest screen actresses ever and I think it's such a shame that she made so few movies compared to other actors. I partly blame Olivier for this who knew that she was better at acting in front of the camera than him and her obsession to prove that she is as good on stage as he was. So she focused so much on theatre and neglected her movie career
How Judy Garland herself (the greatest talent in my opinion) never won an Oscar is positively beyond me. But hey, Renee’s Judy certainly provided true recognition of a brilliant, unforgettable actress that was Judy Garland. This video is beautifully put together, gave me chills. Particularly the Edward Scissorhands/Passengers soundtracks suited perfectly! Bravo!
In my opinion, Anne Bancroft for The Miracle Worker (1962) was one of THE best performances to ever win the Best Actress Academy Award. Right up there with Vivien Leigh for GWTW and Olivia de Havilland for The Heiress. If you have never seen it, you must - awesome performance!!
@@windycitypretty1 I am glad that you saw it and agree. I loved that performance by Anne Bancroft: funny, determined, resilient, strong and heartbreaking! It is a drama that requires the actress to be comedic at times, but compelling with the emotions!
Bette Davis said pubicly many times that Joan Crawford "sabotaged" her win for WhateverHappened to Baby Jane. Whether that's true or not, no one was taking home the Oscar that night but Anne Bancroft. As others here said, you must see this movie.
And now after Frances McDorman winning with Nomadland in 2021, Jessica Chastain joins the list of winners actresses in Oscar history with her performance in the film The Eyes of Tammy Faye today Sunday, March 27, 2022 ❤️⭐
Por supuesto que no la mejor es betty Davis, esta mujer meryl Streep solo tiene la facilidad para adaptarse a los acentos es todo, pero no tiene belleza, claro para los amenricanos que la piel blanca, y los ojos de color azul es lo mismo , una rubia más en una tierra de rubios.
Andrew Howard Olivia Colman gave one of the best performances of the decade, in The Favourite is amazing.. Close should have won for Fatal Attraction and Dangerous Liasons!!
@@ssaamuele Def. a reoccurring theme throughout the oscars history - people not winning when they should have and then getting a "it's their time" Oscar later down the road.
The Performances of Kathy Bates in Misery and Charlize Theron in Monster just get me. They were some of the best acting roles I’ve ever seen and still to this day stand out so much! I’m no movie or film buff but I’d call those class A acting roles. Where they capture you and really ARE their characters. Same with Vivien Leigh in Gone with the wind.
Kathy bates is awesome. I read misery after seeing the movie and I couldn't separate the movie from the film due to Kathy...she was annie wilkes and to this day imo the scariest female villain of any movie I have watched.
@@Chinoiserie9839 Let me clear up s point ,Mrs. Virginia Woolf was also a great writer of " Stream of consciousness ", way of writing friction. She, her husband and friends belonged to a group called Bloomsbury, at present reading a biography on her. But this movie has nothing to do with it. I didn't like the movie at lot in the sense it's based on her name.
@@anuradhainamdar8967 Well if you have seen the movie. Elizabeth Taylor's acting was timeless which I did not expect from a sixties movie. It was so natural and not very theatrical. The movie wasn't even about Woolf like you said the movie was based on Woolf's "stream of conciousness". So the plot is more about on internal struggle. I have only read one book from Virginia Woolf. to be honest it's not for me. i dont know. I'd rather finish War and Peace than read another book from Woolf. her novels might be short but it is such a chore to read. It takes time to get used to it, i guess.
@@Chinoiserie9839 on the contrary I wrote that the movie wasn't based Woolf, I felt so, and since I have access now to Wi - fi, I just cursorily opened up on my Laptop, but found that it have no context at all of Mrs.Woolf, I have many novels of Woolf and find her a fascinating writer, she was modern, in the sense she scoffed at the established church, her father being a very well known figure Sir Leslie Stephen, the Biographer of England, since I particularly was interested in Mrs. Woolf character depiction in a movie, rather than this diversion, also you may find her novels a chore but having had read some part of biography on her, she does come out a very funny, figure who was non- reverential towards church and against copy- cat education/ theoretical. I enjoyed the novel " Waves " a lot, one has to read rapidly at breakneck speed to keep the flow and finish the novels.As for " War and Peace", I too, have read it,long ago.As for Elizabeth Taylor acting since I didn't like the movie so I cannot give you a opinion on Taylor acting, yet she certainly has been shown stylish, in the fashion of Sixties. If I, in my comment have written that it concerns Mrs. Virginia Woolf, the writer than I have mistakenly written so, I meant it otherwise. However do try her " Mrs Dalloway ", " To the light house". In order to give you more help I can say positively that the " Bloomsbury group ", to which she belonged was a fun - loving , modern, she,her sister worked for women suffrage, and they hardly drank any strong drink.She never travelled anywhere except Europe, not even to Egypt, as Agatha Christie did, the experience from which Agatha derived her novels .

@@sazzieb1 I read a book, I think its titled "The Making of A Star is Born ", about Judy's version and the author was doing his best to restore it to the original version; No, he didn't quite make it. When it premiered in 1954 it was complete at first, but it was overlong and, in my opinion, it was mutilated. I kinda believe that's what cost Judy her Oscar. The "restored" version has many still photos ...
Absolutely agreed. I don’t think she would’ve deserved a win, but she definitely should’ve been recognized as one of the five best performances that year.
Vivien Leigh is the best dramatic actress ever. She only made 19 movies and won 2 oscars for her incredible performances in leading roles. That's pretty impressive!
Susan Hayward’s magnificent performance stands today as one of the great all time great performances. Susan was greeted with an enormous ovation and a curtain call!!
Wonderful! The great Julie Andrews was perfect as Mary Poppins, and should have won a consecutive Oscar for another iconic performance in The Sound of Music.
@@waldemarlopess Nobody can play the prim lady-passionate woman all in one role better than Julie Andrews. "The Americanization of Emily" showcased that particular talent to perfection. She and James Garner were terrific together.
What did Roger Ebert say about The Sound of Music-something like it is so sweet you almost start rooting for the Nazis. But Julie was/is such a talent for sure.
My favourites: 1. Vivien Leigh in Gone With the Wind / A Streetcar Named Desire. 2. Meryl Streep in Sophie's Choice. 3. Elizabeth Taylor in Who's Affraid of Virginia Woolf? 4. Joan Crawford in Mildred Pierce. 5. Katharine Hepburn in The Lion in Winter. 6. Ingrid Bergman in Gasligth. 7. Kathy Bates in Misery. 8. Cate Blanchett in Blue Jasmine. 9. Bette Davis in Jezebel. 10. Jodie Foster in The Silence of the Lambs. 11. Marion Cotillard in La Vie en Rose. 12. Natalie Portman in Black Swan. 13. TIE Charlize Theron in Monster and Kate Winslet in The Reader. 14. Holly Hunter in The Piano. 15. Hilary Swank in Boys Don't Cry.
Liza showed great humility and class to go along with her phenominal performance. I can't imagine any other actress/singer at that time who could've done as well by a long shot. Her defining moment - Liza with Z arrived.
The performance that impacted me the most was Natalie Portman's in the Black Swan, it was impeccable, the interpretation, what she did to become perfect. Likewise Charlize Theron, Kathy Bates, their roles were impressive. And my respects to the actresses of years ago, especially the legendary Meryl Streep.
Natalie Portman's performance is still one of the best and most artistically important of all time... And with that dazzling beauty, she nailed it.....
Giving competitive awards for art is stupid, but IMO the best performance given b an actress maybe in movie history is Sissy Spacek in Coal Miner's Daughter. Vivien Leigh is great in A Streetcar Named Desire.
Visuals For You yeah I’d be good with that. Either her or Saoirse or even Charlize were all better than Renée. And don’t even get me started Erivo in Harriet. My lord that was such a trash movie
@@ZR38315 Too bad you're not an Academy voter and also a minority opinion among the viewers because Renée was the most deserving in the roster. Charlize over Renée? What a laugh. 😂 Charlize's part was very badly written. She doesn't deserve to have been nominated. Should have been Lupita for Us.
Great compilation! Thanks for doing this man! Favorites: 1. Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose) 2. Charlize Theron (Monster) 3. Meryl Streep (Sophie's Choice) 4. Vivien Leigh (A Streetcar named Desire) 5. Olivia Colman (The Favourite)
Gwyneth Paltrow's win made a complete mockery of the Oscars. Everyone knows Cate Blanchette should have won for Elizabeth. Harvey Winstein campaigned very very heavily for her to win, and why? Well, I think you know why....
Paltrow was being shoved down our throats at this time as the golden girl of Hollywood a role she campaigned for hard like she was running for prom queen. I bet they decided to give it to her after showing up on the red carpet in that prom dress and got wrapped up on what great PR hype it wold generate. Shakespeare in Love was a frothy uninspiring babble fest
The Rose Tattoo was a perfect role for her to show the world the "realism" pervasive in Italian cinema after WWII. No beauty but you believe every move, every emotion, every word from this actress. It was Anna who suggested after she was asked to play the mother in 2 Women and Sophia Loren to play the daughter - let Sophia play the mother. It won Sophia an Oscar in a foreign language film and showed us she was much more than a beauty. Give those Italian actresses the right role and they're hard to beat.
Anna Magnani was a legend she paved the way for all the other future Italian actresses as far as I’m concerned she deserves an honorary Oscar she was incredible may she rest in peace your forever loved 🥰
@@rosemariepennix I am in agreement with you and if you would want to see something extraordinary, I recommend you two things : 1) " O surdato ´nnammurato ", ( The soldier in love ) from the movie " La sciantosa ", the famous scene when she sings for the wounded soldiers during the first world war 2) " Correva l´anno di grazia 1870 ", ( It was the year of grace 1870 ) the last scene, when her husband is dying , then dies and she desperates, is a masterpiece of dramatic art
@@Raimund007 Thanks for the recommendations for the extraordinary Magnani roles. I was introduced to film as a child before TV. Luckily, my folks best friends had a 14 yr old daughter who would babysit me. The adults would drop us at a movie theater. I saw Leave Her to Heaven with Gene Tierney as a 5 or 6 yr old. Crazy, I know. There is a scene on a lake with her in a rowboat. Her husband's teen brother is swimming behind the boat. He struggles to keep going but begins going under. In sunglasses and showing no emotion she continues rowing and because she must be the total focus of her husband's attention, she allows the boy to drown. The scene was indelibly imprinted on my brain. My point is that I saw a lot of films when I was too young to appreciate them. Magnani and many other actresses of the 50s were not conventional beauties. I considered them too old and the films (usually in black and white) were too depressing. My loss. Thank God I grew up and discovered how much I had missed. That whole world of film is out there and waiting for your curiosity to lead you to it.
My favorites: 1. Charlize Theron in Monster. 2. Marion Cotillard in La vie en Rose. 3. Kathy Bates In Misery. 4. Natalie Portman in Black Swan. 5. Hillary Swan in Boys Dont Cry.
The video lineup really is terrific, but I find myself coming back to this video over and over again for the background score. Makes me cry always. Beautiful!
I feel like there should be a separate voice acting category because it's a different thing from live action acting (also the academy would nominate, much less give an oscar to, voice actors if it was in the acting category)
Great video. Thank you. Excellent performances, I loved Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl, Liza Minnelli in Cabaret, Merry Strip in Iron Lady and many, many more
My top Ten favorite performances are Charlize Theron, Halle Berry, Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Brie Larson, Renee Zellweger, Emma Stone, Frances McDormand, Olivia Colman & Louise Fletcher.
Had she been alive a few decades longer, Marilyn Monroe would have totally gotten an Oscar. She always seems to get better and better with every film she's in.
Andrew, you did such a masterful job . . . you brought me to tears! Thank you for the reminder of how great these ladies were and how great acting is. THANK YOU!
Like 75% of all the clips portray the actresses crying. Undoubtedly part of the reason how and why they won their Oscar. And I'm just thinking, Anne Hathaway can possibly play a young Liza Minelli in a biopic about her life.
My absolute favorites : Magnani and Loren (yes, I'm an Italian so they're dear to my heart), Vivien Leigh (probably the most talented of them all), Kate Winslet (my favorite actress), Nathalie Portman, Meryl Streep, Gerardine Page, Julie Andrews, Meggie Smith
Great work, Andrew, a beautifully constructed montage showcasing each actress at their most radiant moments. Any chance of you doing a similar piece on the Oscar winning actors at some point?
Too bad she lost out to Kathy Bates for that ham on rye performance in Misery. Ms. Woodward was delicately subtle as Mrs. Bridge, and it would have been a nice send-off now that she's unable to act anymore.
@@mattpierard joanne woodward is a brilliant actress but it was kathy bates's time she was truly brilliant by bringing one of most evil characters in cinema history ,she was a visionary in that movie and no performance had came after her and did the same

And how’s she not even nominated for Arrival is a crime.
Amy Adams is my favorite actress. I enjoy re watching the movie Arrival and the HBO Sharp objects. Truly amazing
Links or you're a troll, Jessica
She was never the best performance each time she was nominated tho. Maybe this year will be her time if Hillbilly Elegy delivers.
there's something about 40s cinematography that just make those beautiful actresses seemed more beautiful

@@selwynandrews9665 this is awseome trivia. I have heard that greta garbo also only wanted her face to be filmed on one side
The 40s were peak film noir, so I think the way the sets and actresses were lit plays into what you're talking about.
Not at all, they all look much older.
I think it's the fact that the movies were black and white. It made it all that much more fascinating.
This should definitely be broadcasted in the 100 anniversary of the Oscars

How are you doing 😊😊
@@pollacksharman0147 fine, and you???
@@theraven6843 I'm doing great where are you from if i may ask?
@@pollacksharman0147 Belgium/Flemmish.
In my opinion, Anne Bancroft for The Miracle Worker (1962) was one of THE best performances to ever win the Best Actress Academy Award. Right up there with Vivien Leigh for GWTW and Olivia de Havilland for The Heiress. If you have never seen it, you must - awesome performance!!
I just watched the Miracle Worker today. She deserved that Oscar.
@@windycitypretty1 I am glad that you saw it and agree. I loved that performance by Anne Bancroft: funny, determined, resilient, strong and heartbreaking! It is a drama that requires the actress to be comedic at times, but compelling with the emotions!
I do prefere Vivien's performance as Blanche DuBois
Bette Davis said pubicly many times that Joan Crawford "sabotaged" her win for WhateverHappened to Baby Jane. Whether that's true or not, no one was taking home the Oscar that night but Anne Bancroft. As others here said, you must see this movie.
and Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday too. Three the best and such different movies - Miracle worker, Roman Holiday and GWTW.
Helena Bonham Carter deserves an Oscar.
For which role?
@@jamesjfisk4968Queen Elizabeth, the king's speech
PERIOD
Wings of the Dove - she should have won. She was really good. Great film.
OH MY GOD YES!!
RIP Olivia de Havilland (1916-2020)
Unforgettable performance in The Heiress (1949.) Olivia de Havilland was my favorite.
2020 really took legends 😔
And now after Frances McDorman winning with Nomadland in 2021, Jessica Chastain joins the list of winners actresses in Oscar history with her performance in the film The Eyes of Tammy Faye today Sunday, March 27, 2022 ❤️⭐
Glenn Close needs to be here, too! Incredible in anything she does!
Natalie portman's performance in black swan for me is like one of the best performances ever by an actor or actress ever
One of my all time favorite performances by an actress.
Totally agree...Natalie Portman deserved the best actress oscar for black swan in 2011
omg thank you finally
That was a phenomenal performance❤️
That performance was insanely good snd ethereal
So the Lesson is: You have to cry in a close-up to win best Actress
We love to see it.
It depends on other things too not only crying painfully,is about their acting realistically and how they performed their characters.
And 'ugly down' as they say! Haha
Or uglify...especially if you're a raving beauty. Worked for Liz Taylor, Nicole Kidman, and Charlize Theron!
@@zyxw2024 LOL...She's dead. Who cares?
Meryl Streep in Sophie's Choice is by far the finest female performance in film History. . Her Polish accent was flawless.
Yes but for me its 2nd Vivien Leigh's will always be first
I saw SC with my mother, she was astounished that Meryl Streep spoke German with a Polish accent. My mother lived in Poland during part of the war.
My favorite one
Louise Fletcher. How she made a character so evil, a character who never killed anyone and honestly thought she was doing right, is an amazing feat.
Por supuesto que no la mejor es betty Davis, esta mujer meryl Streep solo tiene la facilidad para adaptarse a los acentos es todo, pero no tiene belleza, claro para los amenricanos que la piel blanca, y los ojos de color azul es lo mismo , una rubia más en una tierra de rubios.
The music to thus extraordinary piece is GORGEOUS
Sooo beautiful!!! But what a crime Glenn Close doesn’t have an Oscar
Thank you so much for watching. And if Glenn was going to lose to anyone, it was Olivia (who gave one hell of a performance).
Andrew Howard Olivia Colman gave one of the best performances of the decade, in The Favourite is amazing.. Close should have won for Fatal Attraction and Dangerous Liasons!!
@@ssaamuele Def. a reoccurring theme throughout the oscars history - people not winning when they should have and then getting a "it's their time" Oscar later down the road.
In my opinion, Cher and Jodie Foster were also deserving of the Oscar over Glenn in their respective years.
@@gauravw6947 Matlin beat Sigourney Weaver in Aliens. Glenn wasn't a rival nominee of hers. Jodie Foster won over Glenn in 1989 for The Accused.
The Performances of Kathy Bates in Misery and Charlize Theron in Monster just get me. They were some of the best acting roles I’ve ever seen and still to this day stand out so much! I’m no movie or film buff but I’d call those class A acting roles. Where they capture you and really ARE their characters. Same with Vivien Leigh in Gone with the wind.
Elizabeth Taylor in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf is way ahead of it's time. You should see it, it amazing.
Kathy bates is awesome. I read misery after seeing the movie and I couldn't separate the movie from the film due to Kathy...she was annie wilkes and to this day imo the scariest female villain of any movie I have watched.
@@Chinoiserie9839 Let me clear up s point ,Mrs. Virginia Woolf was also a great writer of " Stream of consciousness ", way of writing friction. She, her husband and friends belonged to a group called Bloomsbury, at present reading a biography on her. But this movie has nothing to do with it. I didn't like the movie at lot in the sense it's based on her name.
@@anuradhainamdar8967 Well if you have seen the movie. Elizabeth Taylor's acting was timeless which I did not expect from a sixties movie. It was so natural and not very theatrical. The movie wasn't even about Woolf like you said the movie was based on Woolf's "stream of conciousness". So the plot is more about on internal struggle. I have only read one book from Virginia Woolf. to be honest it's not for me. i dont know. I'd rather finish War and Peace than read another book from Woolf. her novels might be short but it is such a chore to read. It takes time to get used to it, i guess.
@@Chinoiserie9839 on the contrary I wrote that the movie wasn't based Woolf, I felt so, and since I have access now to Wi - fi, I just cursorily opened up on my Laptop, but found that it have no context at all of Mrs.Woolf, I have many novels of Woolf and find her a fascinating writer, she was modern, in the sense she scoffed at the established church, her father being a very well known figure Sir Leslie Stephen, the Biographer of England, since I particularly was interested in Mrs. Woolf character depiction in a movie, rather than this diversion, also you may find her novels a chore but having had read some part of biography on her, she does come out a very funny, figure who was non- reverential towards church and against copy- cat education/ theoretical. I enjoyed the novel " Waves " a lot, one has to read rapidly at breakneck speed to keep the flow and finish the novels.As for " War and Peace", I too, have read it,long ago.As for Elizabeth Taylor acting since I didn't like the movie so I cannot give you a opinion on Taylor acting, yet she certainly has been shown stylish, in the fashion of Sixties. If I, in my comment have written that it concerns Mrs. Virginia Woolf, the writer than I have mistakenly written so, I meant it otherwise. However do try her " Mrs Dalloway ", " To the light house". In order to give you more help I can say positively that the " Bloomsbury group ", to which she belonged was a fun - loving , modern, she,her sister worked for women suffrage, and they hardly drank any strong drink.She never travelled anywhere except Europe, not even to Egypt, as Agatha Christie did, the experience from which Agatha derived her novels .
Audrey Hepburn will always be my favorite.

How Judy Garland never won an Oscar is beyond me.
At least Judy won a miniature Oscar in 1939, or 1940?
@@bobbyfrancis8957 Grace Kelly beat her to it. Judy should have won that year for A Star is Born
@@sazzieb1 I read a book, I think its titled "The Making of A Star is Born ", about Judy's version and the author was doing his best to restore it to the original version; No, he didn't quite make it. When it premiered in 1954 it was complete at first, but it was overlong and, in my opinion, it was mutilated. I kinda believe that's what cost Judy her Oscar. The "restored" version has many still photos ...
@@sazzieb1 one of the biggest upsets ever. Judy had that Oscar in the bag. Makes no sense.
@@davidpellegrene1133 I agree she should haxe won it in 1954 but the biggest upset was judy halliday over bette davis in 1950
Lupita Nyong’o was robbed of even a nomination for her role in US. It was truly incredible.
Your opinion.
she is great
Absolutely agreed. I don’t think she would’ve deserved a win, but she definitely should’ve been recognized as one of the five best performances that year.
i feel like she was really good as the alter ego, but in the regular part as the wife and mother she was a little boring
She was good in other roles to...in Queen of katwe for example
I’m so happy Audrey Hepburn and Reese Witherspoon won Oscars 😀 Shout out to the both of them!
Reese didn't deserve won that year. Felicity Huffman deserves it
Vivien Leigh is the best dramatic actress ever. She only made 19 movies and won 2 oscars for her incredible performances in leading roles. That's pretty impressive!
The look at 1:48 says it all
I disagree.
And only 7 hollywood films that's the merit
Another underrated Best Actress Double Oscars winner was Luise Rainer, whose entire movie career was about 12 films.
And only 7 hollywood movies that is merit louise rainer also won 2 Oscar's with only less than 10 Hollywood films but vivien is my favourite
No one wants to talk about 'Gone Girl'..? Rosamund Pike was incredible.
she got snubbed
Along with femek Jansen and pike the best bond villains
Agreed. She was robbed.
Julianne Moore's performance was also incredible, they're just very different roles. I think they were both deserving
In future, they will get it
When will Amy Adams and Glenn Close win theirs??
And Saorise Ronan.
Maybe both of them will this year
@@Dime9764 amy i don't think so but able glenn i won for best supporting actress
I loved Glen un The wife! And now in Hillbilly, she rocks! Really hope she wins!!!
Amy Adams should win for The Woman in the Window.
Masterful.
Susan Hayward’s magnificent performance stands today as one of the great all time great performances. Susan was greeted with an enormous ovation and a curtain call!!
1999 Hilary Swank, in Boys Don’t Cry, the performance of the lifetime. It was a truly psychic performance.
Hello Jennifer,
How are you doing ?
Wonderful! The great Julie Andrews was perfect as Mary Poppins, and should have won a consecutive Oscar for another iconic performance in The Sound of Music.
Julie Andrews also deserved the Oscar for "The Americanization of Emily".
@@vivianpowell1732 I agree, Vivian! Julie is amazing!
@@waldemarlopess Nobody can play the prim lady-passionate woman all in one role better than Julie Andrews. "The Americanization of Emily" showcased that particular talent to perfection. She and James Garner were terrific together.
and for Victor Victoria
What did Roger Ebert say about The Sound of Music-something like it is so sweet you almost start rooting for the Nazis. But Julie was/is such a talent for sure.

I agree on all your picks!
Love it!
Same 5 from me but you got 6 in the 1st 5
The only difference is hepburn over crawford bette in 6th I also agree good way of thinking of us
Liza showed great humility and class to go along with her phenominal performance. I can't imagine any other actress/singer at that time who could've done as well by a long shot. Her defining moment - Liza with Z arrived.
ALL The actresses are beautiful, wonderful, excellent and they deserved Oscars.
Katherine has 4 Oscars? Funny how She didt even give a damn about this kind of stuff. Hahaha
Yes she has the most oscars. No one (stress or actor) has 4 oscars, so she is still unbeatable in max oscars actress/actor get
Miss Hepburn didn't deserve the Oscar for Guess Who's Coming to Dinner or On Golden Pond. But she was one helluva actress!
Oh you weren't informed?
@@lizzieallen2284 you mean she didn't deserve her Oscar for On Golden Pond? No, you're wrong right there.
4 oscar in 3 different era......wow...
The performance that impacted me the most was Natalie Portman's in the Black Swan, it was impeccable, the interpretation, what she did to become perfect. Likewise Charlize Theron, Kathy Bates, their roles were impressive. And my respects to the actresses of years ago, especially the legendary Meryl Streep.
Hello Fernanda,
How are you doing ?
Natalie Portman's performance is still one of the best and most artistically important of all time... And with that dazzling beauty, she nailed it.....
You're going to say that best actresses come from horror movies?
Guess you've never seen a single movie with Katherine Hepburn
Giving competitive awards for art is stupid, but IMO the best performance given b an actress maybe in movie history is Sissy Spacek in Coal Miner's Daughter. Vivien Leigh is great in A Streetcar Named Desire.
What a wonderful tribute! Queens playing amazing roles in some of the finest works of Art in Cinema! Congratulations for the video!
This was such a beautifully compiled video! The scenes that were chosen, the way the music fit, incredibly well done
This is awesome! Love how it ended with Judy. Can't wait to see more!!
Too bad Renee was the 4th best of those nominated this year and def shouldn’t have won
Scarlett should have gotten it in my opinion, she was phenomenal in Marriage Story.
Visuals For You yeah I’d be good with that. Either her or Saoirse or even Charlize were all better than Renée. And don’t even get me started Erivo in Harriet. My lord that was such a trash movie
@@ZR38315 Too bad you're not an Academy voter and also a minority opinion among the viewers because Renée was the most deserving in the roster. Charlize over Renée? What a laugh. 😂 Charlize's part was very badly written. She doesn't deserve to have been nominated. Should have been Lupita for Us.
carloyeshua I can agree with you on lupita. Who should’ve been nominated and should’ve won tbh
Great compilation! Thanks for doing this man!

Mark my words.
Saoirse Ronan and Florence Pugh will have an Oscar by the end of the decade.
They better or we riot!
They are great!
Jodie Comer deserves one too, would love to see her in more movies!
Saoirse should've already gotten one
yes!!
Black Swan always gets me. I could watch Natalie Portman act for hours. She is amazing
It literally gave me chills
the effort she put into that movie
Did you see here when she was just a kid in The Professional? She was so good even back then.
Jeanette Smith i have so much respect for her
The movie deserve all oscars, Best film ever
I'm overwhelmed by these gorgeous actresses and the work for this compilation. Bravo and thanks a lot.👍🙏 Greats from Germany 🇩🇪
2:28 You brilliantly used the most underrated Movie score, in my opinion, to capture the essence of these talented actresses. Well done.
Gwyneth Paltrow's win made a complete mockery of the Oscars. Everyone knows Cate Blanchette should have won for Elizabeth. Harvey Winstein campaigned very very heavily for her to win, and why? Well, I think you know why....
Amen!!!
Paltrow was being shoved down our throats at this time as the golden girl of Hollywood a role she campaigned for hard like she was running for prom queen. I bet they decided to give it to her after showing up on the red carpet in that prom dress and got wrapped up on what great PR hype it wold generate. Shakespeare in Love was a frothy uninspiring babble fest
Ditto
No, Fernanda Montenegro should have won.
No. A black woman should have won. Because diversity matters.
Anna Magnani was an incredible Star. A force of nature.
The Rose Tattoo was a perfect role for her to show the world the "realism" pervasive in Italian cinema after WWII. No beauty but you believe every move, every emotion, every word from this actress. It was Anna who suggested after she was asked to play the mother in 2 Women and Sophia Loren to play the daughter - let Sophia play the mother. It won Sophia an Oscar in a foreign language film and showed us she was much more than a beauty. Give those Italian actresses the right role and they're hard to beat.
Anna Magnani was a legend she paved the way for all the other future Italian actresses as far as I’m concerned she deserves an honorary Oscar she was incredible may she rest in peace your forever loved 🥰
@@rosemariepennix I am in agreement with you and if you would want to see something extraordinary, I recommend you two things : 1) " O surdato ´nnammurato ", ( The soldier in love ) from the movie " La sciantosa ", the famous scene when she sings for the wounded soldiers during the first world war 2) " Correva l´anno di grazia 1870 ", ( It was the year of grace 1870 ) the last scene, when her husband is dying , then dies and she desperates, is a masterpiece of dramatic art
@@Raimund007 Thanks for the recommendations for the extraordinary Magnani roles. I was introduced to film as a child before TV. Luckily, my folks best friends had a 14 yr old daughter who would babysit me. The adults would drop us at a movie theater. I saw Leave Her to Heaven with Gene Tierney as a 5 or 6 yr old. Crazy, I know.
There is a scene on a lake with her in a rowboat. Her husband's teen brother is swimming behind the boat. He struggles to keep going but begins going under. In sunglasses and showing no emotion she continues rowing and because she must be the total focus of her husband's attention, she allows the boy to drown. The scene was indelibly imprinted on my brain. My point is that I saw a lot of films when I was too young to appreciate them. Magnani and many other actresses of the 50s were not conventional beauties. I considered them too old and the films (usually in black and white) were too depressing. My loss. Thank God I grew up and discovered how much I had missed. That whole world of film is out there and waiting for your curiosity to lead you to it.
I was blown away by her work in The Rose Tattoo.
Beautifully done! Thank you, I enjoyed that very much.
This is a lovely tribute to these great achievements, thank you.

@@elijahsackville-glucksburg gracias 🤗
@hector manuel Two of the movies he listed came out before 2000 dumbass.
Rodolfo Lizarraga Marion is the best performance on film ever IMO. I like your list though. If you haven’t watched the Bette Davis movies def do.
The video lineup really is terrific, but I find myself coming back to this video over and over again for the background score. Makes me cry always. Beautiful!
thank you very much for patiently putting these together trough the years!
I’ve never been more happy than I was when Olivia Colman won. She’s just amazing 🤩
And her Oscar speech has was epic!!
@@michellerene951 literally just watched it again this morning. She’s such a humble and lovely person ❤️
What would be really cool is if they started to consider voice actors for these awards
We need the voice of reason for that.
Underrated comment
I agree completely. And I think it's been one of the many oversights of the Academy that they never saw fit to honor Mel Blanc with an honorary award.
They do consider them. The Lion King campaigned for Childish Gambino to be nominated in Best Actor. They just don't vote for them.
I feel like there should be a separate voice acting category because it's a different thing from live action acting (also the academy would nominate, much less give an oscar to, voice actors if it was in the acting category)
Marion Cotillard was INCREDIBLE on La Vie en Rose!!!
omg, yes. When I got around to watching that I was stunned. I wish we saw more of her.
Never seen the movie, will have to do so after watching this uploaded video.
One of the best acting I ever saw!
I loved her in Inception. She is fantastic!
My favorite performance among all the winners!!!
Exquisite and an delicated compendium
of footage. Kudos to you! Made me cry.
Kim Novak's performance in "Vertigo" was worthy of an Oscar.
Jesus, i love Vivien Leigh, such a queen
True.
She was an excellent actress for the time.
It's sad that she struggled with mental illness towards the end.
this is so very well done! the music and the clips were all spot on!!! and thank you for adding that bit from judy at the end 😭
This is so nice of you to share. Thank you for watching - I'm really glad you liked it ;)
Great video. Thank you. Excellent performances, I loved Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl, Liza Minnelli in Cabaret, Merry Strip in Iron Lady and many, many more
This video is beautiful, thank you for making it.
Still annoyed that Cate didn’t win for Elizabeth
this still pisses me off till this day, her delivery is simply flawless
One of the worst Oscar mistakes, right up there with giving it to that no-talent slut Grace Kelly over Judy Garland in "A Star is Born".
@@oklahomorose For me, she deserved for Carol too... Like Rooney Mara in a supporting role.
I actually think ellen burstyn should've won for requiem for a dream...
@@HOAfan11 but she has won for the aviator and blue jasmine.. So relax... Lol
Maggie Smith in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.. all time favorite actress... 💜💜💜💜💜
why do i feel so inspired and pumped up right now
Beautifully done. Pictures, music. All of it.
Louise Fletcher and Kathy Bates both gave me chills in their roles
Maggie Smith, adore her so much.. the true legend
A wonderful compilation of the women who managed to take home the Oscar statuette. Beautiful video, great music, I love it!
From time to timeI watch this video to calm my anxiety. Thank you for the compilation.
Marion Cotillard, Olivia Colman and Natalie Portman are on another level.
My top Ten favorite performances are Charlize Theron, Halle Berry, Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Brie Larson, Renee Zellweger, Emma Stone, Frances McDormand, Olivia Colman & Louise Fletcher.
Cate Blamchett in Blue Jasmin is perfection.
Great performances! Honorable mention: Stanwyck in Stella Dallas, Garbo in Queen Christina, MM in Some Like It Hot, and Swanson in Sunset Blvd
I agree with all of the above.
Had she been alive a few decades longer, Marilyn Monroe would have totally gotten an Oscar. She always seems to get better and better with every film she's in.
Dorothy Allspice sadly yes, she was very good in the little footage of her last movie, she even ditched her “dumb” blonde voice
Gloria Swanson should be in this list with this movie of course
All of those should have won an Oscar!
One Oscar really well deserved was the 1991 Jodie Foster on the silence of the lambs, holy cow one hell of a role 🥺
What's interesting is that that was the next role she took after winning her first Oscar for The Accused.
is SOTL not at 1992?
Thanks for this post. I guess their eyes have captured snd evoked the full range of human emotion.
Andrew, you did such a masterful job . . . you brought me to tears! Thank you for the reminder of how great these ladies were and how great acting is.
THANK YOU!
Like 75% of all the clips portray the actresses crying. Undoubtedly part of the reason how and why they won their Oscar. And I'm just thinking, Anne Hathaway can possibly play a young Liza Minelli in a biopic about her life.
Aaron Francis I can see that
I was thinking the exact same thing!
And be crying there like mad xd
Even Julie Andrews' scintillating movie debut win for MARY POPPINS had contemplative moments amidst the delight and whimsy! I liked that, actually!
He just choose the crying clips from the movies.
My absolute favorites : Magnani and Loren (yes, I'm an Italian so they're dear to my heart), Vivien Leigh (probably the most talented of them all), Kate Winslet (my favorite actress), Nathalie Portman, Meryl Streep, Gerardine Page, Julie Andrews, Meggie Smith
Great work, Andrew, a beautifully constructed montage showcasing each actress at their most radiant moments. Any chance of you doing a similar piece on the Oscar winning actors at some point?

Joanne Woodward was incredible in ‘The Three Faces of Eve’! Three powerful performances in one!
Too bad she lost out to Kathy Bates for that ham on rye performance in Misery. Ms. Woodward was delicately subtle as Mrs. Bridge, and it would have been a nice send-off now that she's unable to act anymore.
@@mattpierard joanne woodward is a brilliant actress but it was kathy bates's time she was truly brilliant by bringing one of most evil characters in cinema history ,she was a visionary in that movie and no performance had came after her and did the same
