- In 2008, Cate Blanchett and Ruby Dee were the front-runners to win the Best Supporting Actress Oscar, but then they lost in a shocking upset to Tilda Swinton for Michael Clayton. In this video, I break down that year's fascinating Oscar race and discuss the reasons why Swinton defeated Blanchett and Dee for the award. #oscars #academyawards #bestsupportingactress #tildaswinton #cateblanchett #rubydee #brianrowevideo

What I love about Tilda (and what is the reason why she's never been nominated for anything else and never will be) is because of her humility. She is the most anti-Hollywood celebrity out there. She doesn't campaign, she doesn't kiss ass, she's not obsessed with winning or being the star. She couldn't possibly care less. The academy hates people who doesn't suck up to them and who doesn't consider winning one of their rewards a highlight of their life. Tilda's one of them. That's why she can't be stopped. Because this is all just a fun hobby that she just happens to be extraordinarily good at.
Great point, thanks for sharing! I totally agree.
Agreed. Tilda is really a loose cannon who just seems like the type to not care about the Oscar, and therefore be treated in kind by them. She does anything she wants and happens to be incredible in it all. It’s not surprising to see her in an Oscar worthy role, but it’s almost more likely to see her playing the head of a staten island based vampire council on an fx mockumentary
The acting range Blanchett is always astounding to behold. Playing Elizabeth and Bob Dylan in the same year and getting nominated. IMO she was snubbed for I'm not there. Her incarnation of Bob Dylan was an acting miracle.
Agreed! Blanchett, as she continues to prove, is one of the very best!
Her performance in TAR makes Blue Jasmine look like a Razzie performance tbh. That's insane to be able to say
She's the real example of surpassing her own self one time after another. She's one of best actresses alive. She actually deserved this one. More than 2005 to be honest and 1999 she was totally robbed.
If world was a fair place Cate Blanchett would've had 3 Oscars by now.
Best Actress - 1999 for 'Elizabeth'
Best Suppoting Actress - 2008 for 'I'm Not There'
Best Actress - 2014 for Blue Jasmine (It happend 😁🙌🙌🙌
A fourth with her monstrous performance in TAR giving her a 4th 😄😄😄
Her voice sounded like Cate Blanchett most of the time though.
@@michelrodrigues5686 i'd do a little change, the Oscar for "notes on a scandal" instead of Dylan. I know not many people watched that movie, but her performance and Judy Dench's are so grandiose, so much better than Jennifer Hudson and even Helen.
I’m glad that Tilda Swinton has an Oscar but it’s so weird that it’s her only nomination & win. She should’ve been nominated for We need to talk about Kevin and Snowpiercer.
Yessss!!! The thing about Tilda is that I've learned that the Oscars are super super egotistical and they HATE if you don't kiss their ass and gush about this award. Her indifference towards her win and subsequent confirmation that she had given her Oscar to her agent solidified that she'd never be nominated again, no matter the quality of her work .
Agreed! Swinton should’ve at least been nominated also for We Need to Talk about Kevin.
And more!
Harvey.....Weinsteins girls. Stood. In. The. Way. For. Years.
Swinton in Snowpiercer is masterful!
Tilda is an unusual character actor that doesn't get enough recognition for her work. Michael Clayton was an exceptional thriller drama with stellar acting nods to its lead and support. I'm also disheartened that Ruby Dee's work in cinema didn't receive as much attention. Given her passing, It would have been a great send off to have become an Oscar winning actress, but as the chips landed, it wasn't to be. Maybe if her role was expanded, I believe she might have won. Cate is great, and after seeing her newest performance, her career still has more milestones ahead, and a possible Oscar nom for Tàr. I'm glad that Tilda can be referred to as an Academy Award winning actress to her credit. Her performance coupled with her expressive eyes at odds with her cold and calculated corporate villainy were merited in her win. I hope she gets a chance to land a leading award nod sometime soon. She's an exceptional actress that's, not only versatile, but chameleon-like in her range.
Agreed, thanks for watching!
The way she says "you mean you don't want the money", always gives me chills. She's a despicable character but she portrays fear, denial, and panic so well in her part. You feel bad for her and all the pressure she's under, and then you remember she's a shadowy murderer.
R.I.P to Ruby Dee who is a pioneer and came up in an era where there such a dearth of roles for someone who looked like her.
She was an amazing actress!
Exactly!!!
I absolutely need a movie with Tilda Swinton and Cate Blanchett in it. Two of the most brilliant actresses of this generation
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Would love that!
I want Tilda Swinton and Toni Collette in a movie instead....
@@jonathanchew1272
I think he meant Cate and Tilda acting apposite one another.
That would be amazing , the two titans! My two fav actresses ❤
I can safely say Meryl Streep could've won the Oscar as a Supporting Role. Her performance on "Devil Wears Prada" never gets old. She made such an iconic role that nobody could ever forget. This alone deserved an Oscar.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I always felt that Meryl’s performance in The Devil Wears Prada was always a supporting role since Anne Hathaway was the real lead role in the movie.
1. No.
2. Devil Wears Prada was 2006 so her race was the previous year.
3. Even if Streep was supporting she was not gonna triumph over the Legendary knock out performance of Jennifer Hudson's Oscar win
That’s a great point
@SoulKnightKing- Jennifer Hudson should have been nominated in lead, instead of supporting. Both Jennifer and Meryl should have swapped their categories.
Can we talk about tilda's black gown, iconic.
Yes!
Why nobody talks about “Orlando” in forums ? I remember being very young like 10 ,I watched it on cable tv, in 1993 and it blown my mind away, what tilda (and Virginia woolf ) did for my childhood it’s something that you never forget. Tilda as “Orlando” is just sublime. Then I watched “Elizabeth” in 98 and I fell in love again, same kind of actress, this time was cate blanchett , I already knew her from “Oscar and lucinda”.
One of my favorite Oscar years since there were no clear front runner. Every precursor award was given to a different actress and no one was sure who would win the Oscar!
Agreed I was so upset and I love Tilda
Was such a fun race to follow that season!
Tilda is just awesome in everything she does, on screen and off - effortlessly cool. One day a bright film maker will make a Bowie biopic and put Tilda in the lead and it will rock. Here's hoping ( and dreaming).
Great video Brian! Glad to see Swinton win an Oscar. She is such a versatile actress! It was unfortunate Swinton didn't get an Oscar nomination for "We Need to Talk About Kevin."
Thanks, Jeffrey, means a lot!
@@TheAwardsContender Hope you had a great Thanksgiving Brian! Thanks for creating such informative and entertaining videos throughout the year!
This was quite an interesting year for this category. Everyone did a great job, though I sort of lean towards Ruby Dee as being the best in the Supporting Actress, but Tilda Swinton is great in Michael Clayton, which is an underrated film in its own right. Thank you for the video Brian, keep up the great work!
Thank you, Jared, means a lot!
tilda is such a presence on screen I’ve never seen a bad or even mediocre performance by her
Even her role in doctor strange was breathtaking
Love her so much!
Madness to think that this has been her only nomination!
I know, it’s wild!
@@TheAwardsContender Amy Ryan too
I still remember that night so well. I was a senior in high school, and I was going back and forth watching the ceremony and finishing my twelfth grade term paper. I was rooting for Ruby Dee, and in particular, Marion Cotillard. I remember being just as shocked as Tilda Swinton when she won, but looking at how BAFTA has played a role in recent years, it now makes much more sense. When Marion Cotillard won, I'm pretty sure I let out a jubilant scream.
Yes!! Was such a great moment!
@@TheAwardsContender And I can't wait for you to post the video about it!
Great video. Giving Tilda Swinton an Oscar is probably one of the classiest things the Academy has ever done. Probably the biggest reason for her win is the performance itself. As I'd seen Michael Clayton, it didn't surprise me on the night.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
I still think that Ruby Dee should had won the Oscar for best supporting actress. She was great in her 5 minutes scene and that is all you need to win for an supporting win
Like a Beatrice Straight, love it!
She only had 5 minutes of screentime? She really made the most of it. She always reminded me of my grandmother in that role, just so sweet and loving.
Forgot to say - she deserved way more attention for her sublime performance in We need to talk about Kevin - not an easy role at all to tackle but she did and was sensational. The relief on her face when she stops the pram near drilling to drown out Kevin's crying but then the cries get louder. Gives me goosebumps
Yes!! We cover that film and snub in a few weeks!
@@TheAwardsContender I'll def keep an eye out for that one. Thanks
Tilda should have been nominated for best actress for Orlando years before
Amazing performance, yes!!
Yet another awesome video Brian, bravo!!! I too was so surprised when Tilda won but hadn't yet seen Michael Clayton ... a few weeks later when I did see it I was not at all surprised any more!!! I totally agree that she is phenomenal in everything she does and especially for We Need to Talk About Kevin, for although I was disappointed with the movie as a whole (it lacked way too much of the depth of the book, and removed vital elements that changed the interpretation) I was absolutely riveted by her performance there!!! She sooooo deserves to have an Oscar for something!!!
Yes, agreed!
Marion Cotillards performance was one of the best of all time she truly deserved the Oscar what a performance!
Yes, agreed!
I cannot wait for the Marion beats Julie Christie video 😍 I think Marion's win was a surprise but totally deserved ❤
That’ll be a fun one to make!
Swinton is a great actor and her career is filled with bold choices, so I'm glad she's an academy award winner. However, my favorite supporting performance that year was, by far, Vanessa Redgrave as Old Briony in "Atonement". The movie itself was astonishing (the Sense and Sensibility of the 2000s, it even had a teenage version of Kate Winslet named Saoirse Ronan) but Ms. Redgrave's performance was nothing short of spectacular. 15 years later, I still can't watch the ending of that movie without being completely destroyed by her words and the look in her eyes. "I... Gave them.... Their happiness." Well, the Academy... Should've given Vanessa Redgrave... That fucking Oscar.
Great point. Thanks for watching!
Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis deserved Lifetime Achievement Awards from the Oscars for not only the superb work of their careers, but also their Commitment to Civil Rights Activism throughout the 20th Century.
Absolutely!! Thanks for watching!
I really like this victory. I think Tilda Swinton is amazing in everything she does including Michael Clayton. I remember her in every movie she's in, even if it's in brief scenes (Constantine and Snowpiercer) or meaty roles (WNTTAK and The Deep End).
She always stands out!
I'm overjoyed when she won for Michael Clayton, such nuanced yet powerful acting.
Yes, lovely performance!
I love Tilda, and I want her to get some more epic roles!
Same!!
It will be awesome to see videos about the nominations race. Like Best Actress in 2004, what a mess
I remember the tears I cried for both Tilda and Marion's wins. It was the one time the Academy got the acting winners right
Yes!! Stay tuned for the Cotillard video!
It would be great if Cate & Tilda could be cast as sisters!
Wow, good call!!!!
Actually, no, not sisters. These women are so good at metamorphosis we should stretch our imaginations further.
@@SomethingSomethingg My imagination says one of them should impersonate the other in a thriller film.
Great idea!
@@VTMCompany GREAT idea!!!!!
Tilda Swinton is awesome and I am glad she has an Oscar. This is a very good video and great analysis. I don’t know who was the most deserving this year, all five did a great job, but I might also give it to Swinton.
She should have been nominated for other films (We need to talk about Kevin at least). I have watched her in Caravaggio and even in that early role, she is great.
As for Best actress- was it really close? I thought Cotiard had this in the bag for sure. I love Julie Christie, but I thought Marion is a sure winner. I watched a great analysis on Christie’s Oscar win, I am sure you will mention it.
Thanks so much for watching! I’m looking forward to making the 2008 Best Actress video.
I remember seeing American Gangster, Michael Clayton and Gone Baby Gone in the theater. My vote would’ve gone to Amy Ryan. She was amazing.
Yes, loved her performance!
I hope this is a two part episode bc that same night was another shocker with Juliet chrisete losing best actress to Marion Cotillard
But this has to be one of the craziest best supporting actress races of all time I personally would’ve given to cate Blanchett for I’m not there or Ruby Dee for America gangster
It is a two-parter, stay tuned!
I wanted Ruby Dee to win, mostly because she never was nominated for an Oscar before, and her film work was/is legendary even to this day. She did theatre and television too. I also met her, and it would have been nice within a two year span of us meeting to see her win an Oscar. I thought the way she was in American Gangster where we didn't see her a lot meant we were supposed to see her more because of the impression she gave in the performance of her role in the film. Yes, there is the slap scene, but she did carry.
Tilda Swinton in Michael Clayton was very compelling when I watched it. Clooney was at the second peak of his game in this political/legal thriller. Tilda's character was relatable as one can be as a planned legal strategist trying to get away with murder but caught in the act. Honestly, when her character falls to the floor after the last scene with Clooney, it's almost sad how I hope she is okay, even if its deserved.
I can understand why the Academy likes to be belated in recognizing legendary talent, but it seems the younger, more viable at the box office person usually wins. Dee's nomination was deserved, and it's not like she wasn't already a voting member of the Academy herself. I still remember how they showed the actual voting process from that ceremony. They need to do that from time to time. Dee was in that segment, I believe.
I know some legends finally get their flowers, whether by supporting actor categories or by Honorary Oscar. But, it would have been nice to see Ruby Dee with an Oscar to her name. Her nomination signaled to me that legendary Black talent in Hollywood would be recognized for surviving and creating so long.
Thanks for your thorough comment, and for watching! Means a lot!
@@TheAwardsContender You're welcome! One of these days I will leave a simple sentence.
shouldn't take anything away from Tilda Swinton --- she is an incredible actress
So great!
I desperately want to see Tilda Swinton portray Elizabeth I in a horror film
Yes!!
I can’t wait for the 2012 Oscar lead actress video viola vs merly
Ooooooh yes
Cate is my queen, but tilda is my second queen, (I love her since “Orlando” when I was really a child) and I’m so happy tilda won it. She’s so special, like from another planet. Funny thing they acted together in “Benjamin button”
Thanks for watching!
I loved watching *Tilda's* reaction when her name was announced, when she was a young girl growing up and dreaming of being creative she probably never envisioned that moment, nor desired it. I love how she relished it for a few moments, then was detached from it. ~ *'Orlando'* and *'I Am Love'* are two of my favorite movies _Of All Time_
Thanks for another excellent post, Brian. I agree with the choice for Best Supporting Actress. I remember the ceremony and was glad that she won. Keep up the great work. You're a pro!
Thank you so much!!
I loved Tilda winning this, but I really need Amy Ryan to get a win in some time. She is spectacular. Also, this particular year, Samantha Morton was the big omission in this category for the Elizabeth sequel.
Excellent points!
Great vid (once again), I'm now going to watch Michael Clayton once again, I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed it the first time around. Cheers buddy :)
Thanks so much!! Means a lot!
I need right away the Marion Cotillard video
Haha, it’s coming!
Patiently waiting for the Spike Lee losing/snubbed in 1989 for do the right thing! But great video
Good idea. Thanks for watching!
Such a great video! Loved all the analysis ❤
My vote would have gone to Amy Ryan. She was incredible.
Yes! She would’ve been a great win too.
It’s always more exciting when all the pre-cursor awards go to multiple people. Like this category in 2007 and last years win for Jamie Lee Curtis.
I love these videos! I think you should talk about the snubs of the year too. It’s always good to know
Great idea!
Want to say: Cates chances of winning Supporting were slashed in half just by being double nominated that year. So if anything it was Ruby’s to win. I love tilda
Thanks for watching!
Before I started following the Oscar’s I’d assumed Blanchett won(but got that confused with her double nominations) and was so happy when I found out Tilda won because Michael Clayton is one of my favourite movies - however after watching American Gangster I’m torn between Tilda and Ruby. I didn’t start following Oscar coverage until the following year when Doubt and The Wrestler were nominated
Nice, well I’m glad you found my channel!
I hope you’ll cover the topic of the 2007-08 Writers’ Strike and how it affected the Hollywood landscape. I don’t think a lot of people are discussing this point in entertainment history.
Good idea!
This was a very exciting year for this category. Swinton’s win was a shock although in hindsight it makes sense how it happened. My thoughts:
1. I’m Not There, American Gangster, and Gone Baby Gone had no support from the Academy so it was always going to be hard to win against a contender like Tilda Swinton from Michael Clayton which had eight Oscar nominations and was popular as you said.
2. Not everybody liked Blanchett’s performance, Dee’s was too short, and Ryan was playing an unsympathetic character. And then Ronan disappears after the first half of Atonement which had run out of Oscar buzz by then and got snubbed in the Directing category.
3. Oscar voters wanted to spread the wealth and picked Swinton who really is quite good in Michael Clayton as you said.
Agree with all your points. Thanks for watching!
Ruby Dee should have received a lifetime achievement award . She was a fantastic actress . Her role in American Gangster was ok but she shines bright in Spike Lee wonderful film Do the Right Thing
Don't forget her outstanding turn in 'A Raisin in the Sun' as well.
After Making video on Marion Cotillard vs Julie Christie, please share your take on the race of 2021 best actress...Carey Mulligan vs Frances McDormand vs Viola Davis vs Andra Day vs Vanessa Kirby...that was hell unsettled too
Yes, good idea!
Not just the Best Actress race in 2021, but the entire year in general. The Best Supporting Actor was the only sure lock that year as Daniel Kaluuya was the only actor to sweep in every precursor. Best Supporting Actress was unpredictable until the late surge of support for Yu-Jung- Yuen at the last minute. Best Actress remained unpredictable throughout, and Best Actor had an unexpected win with Anthony Hopkins.
I must have been 14 back then but I already followed the Oscar season. It wasn't Cate vs. Ruby vs. Tilda. For most of the season, it was Amy Ryan who swept the critics, including Critics' Choice, the New York Film Critics, and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. She also won the majority of the regional critics and the NBR. She was very much in the running. Blanchett looked unlikely because of the nature of the part and the rather conservative Academy. Ruby Dee won too little too late. In the end, it was about the film they liked a lot and couldn't honour elsewhere. This is one of these years where I predicted all 4 acting winners by going out on a limb in two categories (Actress and Supporting Actress). It doesn't always pay off, but back then, it paid off.
Thanks for your insights, and for watching!
I bet the political and recession at that time helped Tilda win as well especially her movie kinda hinted at what was about to happen literally the year she won
Good point!
Another fantastic video. Great work!
Thank you, Todd! Means a lot!
1. Saoirse Ronan
2. Cate Blanchett
3. Amy Ryan
4. Ruby Dee
5. Tilda Swinton
Love!
Loved the movie, loved the role, love the actor, loved the performance. Swinton deserved the Oscar. A win that has aged well for the Academy. Her performance MADE the film. The 00's was the decade to deliver two types of performances if you wanted gold: portray a real person or a scene-stealing villain. Three of the four Oscar wins that year went to villainous characters. It was always going to be Swinton.
Swinton and Blanchett were seen as having gave the strongest performances that year, but Blanchett had already won an Oscar and the film flopped at the box office, so she wasn't going to win. Also, the Elizabeth sequel wasn't as good, so it was never going to be a winning year for Blanchett. Ronan was too young to win. No child actor was going to win another Oscar so soon after they gave it to Anna Paquin for The Piano which only happened decades after Tatum in Paper Moon (Kahn was robbed). Ruby Dee was too old and not in the film long enough. Chiefly, Gangster was seen as more of a popcorn flick with its trendy Jay-Z soundtrack than serious awards contender. Gone Baby Gone was seen as a grade B drama than truly Oscar worthy and Amy Ryan was too low profile to win.
Swinton had delivered memorable performances in the past and had a hit blockbuster film with Wardrobe. The combination of 1) recent box office success, 2) strong body of work, and 3) a villainous role in a stronger film overall meant her time had come.
Yes, great points here, thank you!
If world was a fair place Cate Blanchett would've had 3 Oscars by now.
Best Actress - 1999 for 'Elizabeth'
Best Suppoting Actress - 2008 for 'I'm Not There'
Best Actress - 2014 for Blue Jasmine (It happend 😁🙌🙌🙌)
A fourth with her monstrous performance in TAR giving her a 4th 😄
She’s a living legend!!!
what about the supporting actress oscar she has?
Tilda is hard to put in a particular box or does the usual that’s why I think she hasn’t been nominated more. She’s marches to her own beat. Lucky for us . Once in a while out of the box gets more recognition but mostly awards go to certain types of roles.
So true, thanks for your comment!
A case of being in a best pic nominee made the difference in Tildas category definitely. Entertainment Weekly picked her, so they knew what was up. I’m guessing Ruby came close, with her legendary career, SAG, and being in a slick popcorn film with Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe no less. Not enough people saw I’m Not There (the brief Heath Ledger frontal nudity was amazing! Lol) so Cate in third.
Yes, agree with your points!
Tilda is MIGHTY! 💯💜
Yes!!
The 4 acting oscars were all totally deserved that year. Tilda swintin amd cottilard especially, cause they werent clear, but fully deserved.
Absolutely!
Next to study..
2015-Best Supporting Actress (Kate Winslet vs. Alicia Vikander)
1995- Best Actress (Jessica Lange vs. Vanessa Redgrave)
1994- Best Actor (Tom Hanks vs. Liam Neeson)
Good ideas!
Flawless victory for swinton...
I disagree in that this was an unpredictable category. I thought Tilda Swinton was the frontrunner. Michael Clayton was the most nominated film in the acting categories, and it was a well liked film so it was going to win something and Supporting Actress was the most likely way it would win. Ruby Dee was too brief of a performance, as you said in the video. Also, Swinton just starred in a blockbuster which was Narnia. And she had that big scene at the end of Michael Clayton with her confrontation with George Clooney. So she was in a well respected movie, she has box office clout, and she had a big scene. I think her win was inevitable.
Great points! She might have been more inevitable than we originally thought.
As surprising as Tilda's win was, it was nothing less than deserved. One of the best winners this category has seen in the last few decades.
It will be fun for you to do a video on Saoirse, but she is so young that she is pretty bound to get it at some point, unless she quits acting or dies young or is involved in some major scandal.
It’ll be fun to explore in more detail her four Oscar races!
Would love to see a video on Kiera Knightley, and how she was snubbed for atonement
Great idea!
What a good interesting movie! I'm eager to see more of this type of content, it's so cool!
Yay, thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I remember watching this ceremony convinced Cate was going to win but I was still rooting for Amy Ryan. I was pleasantly shocked when Tilda won. I had seen the movie and liked her in it, but it never crossed my mind that she had a shot.
Please do a William DaFoe and the Elusive Oscar 😭😭😭😭
Yes! Good one!
Can you do best supporting actress 2006 Oscar’s? (2005 movies)
I talk about that race in my Amy Adams and the Elusive Oscar video!
Another great video!
Thank you so much!
Amy Ryan was also in Changeling right? She played the prosti and kept in the mental facility. I can still remember her lines
Absolutely love Tilda Swintons performances in The Deep End and We Need To Talk About Kevin
Bafta has become an incredibly strong precursor, in this case I'm glad because otherwise Tilda wouldn't have an Oscar to give to her agent😅
Haha, yup!
@@TheAwardsContender Frances too
Man, DDL, Tilda, Javier.. what a year. (havent seen La vie en Rose lol)
Such a great year!
Will you ever do an Oscar retrospective video on the 2001 Best Supporting Actress race?
My friend James made one for his TH-cam channel and I didn’t want to repeat his video. Thanks for your interest!
@@TheAwardsContender The only video I found that covered the Best Supporting Actress Race is The Real Awards/73rd Academy Awards by Johnny Retro. Is that the video you were referring to? If not, then what is the title of the actual video?
Only 1-min. in and I’m already staunchly disagreeing with a contextual premise: Given his track record with the academy, Peter o’Toole could have definitely pulled off a surprise win over Whitaker that year. The Academy loves awarding a long-overdue and respected performer, whatever the precursors. The man had seven prior nominations, some in very high-profile films!
Also, lol, “probably enough voters decided to go with the performance they liked best” - i.e., calling out the academy for functioning as it’s supposed to
Being completely honest, I was staunchly rooting for O'Toole that night, but considering all he won, I didn't think Whitaker was going to lose. He was just too far out ahead.
The context is this: Whitaker swept. He steamrolled the season.
Yes, agreed that O’Toole should’ve been more of a contender, but Whitaker just won everything that season, so a different Oscar winner would’ve been shocking.
very interesting how the 80th and the 95th Academy Award for Supporting Actress races are similar... and i'm pretty sure Kerry Condon will win the exact same way Swinton won.
Excellent point!
You did a really nice job
Do a video of Marcia Gay Harden
Amy Ryan was great in Gone Baby Gone.
Yes!!
This could be a good way to start videos where you got actors & actresses who OSCAR winners but never gotten the MAIN LEAD CATAGORY of ACTOR & ACTRESS, but been nominated
George Clooney
Angelina Jolie
Warren Beatty
Geena Davis
Whoopi Goldberg
Matt Damon
Robert Redford
Anne Hathaway
Great idea, thanks!
She and Daniel Day-Lewis are the greatest actors of their generation.
I can understand why Marcia, Danzel, Forrest witekar won at one point but Tilda I mean she is great but I think so either Amy, Cate or Ruby
Yes!
As big or even bigger than the Binoche and Swinton wins was Marcia Gay Harden's in 2000.
Yeah this race was just like that year where it was a different winter for Golden globe, sag and Oscar
Agreed!
Oh man, Ruby was not happy. Took her a bit to clap.
Ruby Dee was ROBBED
Would’ve been a great win!
The Oscars 2018
Tilda wore a crushed velvet potato sack during the awards ceremony that year. I loved her in Michael Clayton but I was disappointed in her fashion choice.
Elliot Page was known as Ellen Page at the time before Page's gender transition in 2020.
WHERE IS SAOIRSE RONAN AND THE ELUSIVE OSCAR???
This was an undeserved win. Her performance was forgetful. She had many other performances they could have honoured her.
I enjoyed her performance but to each their own!
I simply recall vowing to smash my set if Ruby Dee won, so I'm pleased that didn't happen. It would have been an Ameche-esque insult to the competition. I also figured Blanchett was the most likely given the type of performance (gender-bending, disguised with makeup, playing a real person) but the possibility that an insufficient number of voters had seen "I'm Not There" was a major worry. Swinton is fine, but it isn't a great or dynamic role, and it's the sort of outcome that leaves me reasonably confident many voters just didn't see some of the other movies.
Dee should have won.
Tilda should win, for every movie she's in.
I thought Tilda and Amy were the 2 best.
Excellent performances
