Fritz, thank you so much for this! I've been waiting for any person to make an in depth video about Marisa Tomei's win and I'm so happy you're the person who made this! Can't wait to watch this throughly later.
Oh wow!!! This was completely from left field, but a good one!! I love this story about this win and more importantly, how I believe a comedic performance is as deserving of an Oscar as a dramatic performance.
Now that I've seen the video in full, this was such a fascinating and insightful video that really proves what an amazing actress she is showing such range with her talents. She always makes a picture better with her appearance and she was great in both In The Bedroom & The Wrestler. She got the justice and flowers now she's always deserved from the public ❤
I like your videos a lot. Although I know it takes a lot of time cause you work on them a lot, if you could also do movie reviews I would very happily listen to them
Hey, thanks a lot for your comment! I have actually no idea yet what I will do next. I wish I could do more videos but it's really just a hobby for me and between work, family life and everything else, it's not easy to find time for them
Great overview of Tomei's Oscar win and career. I love how you addressed the tiresome bias of drama over comedy in terms of deeming a performance award-worthy. Tomei's does fantastic, singular work in "Vinny" that does not pale in comparison to just about any other winner in the category- she completely nails the role. I believe I remember Mike Clark in USA Today pushing hard for Tomei during awards season, so at least she had one known media presence in her corner.
Oh, huzzah! Fritz is back. Alas i must go to bed in preparation for my night shift, but this shall keep me asmused in the small hours. Thank you, Fritz. Also Fritz, is there anyway you can put the superlike option up so i can send you some money for your vodeos? They bring me such pleasure and id love to send you some money for all your hard work.
Hey, thanks so much for your kind words, and I'm very glad you enjoy my videos. And thanks for your offering but it's really not necessary to send me any money! Those videos are my hobby and if some people enjoy them, that's all I want! :)
The Academy should be embarrassed that they gave the Academy Award to Gwyneth Paltrow who hasn't gone on to do much with her career. Marisa has done alot more.
She's a good actor who always delivers exactly what is asked of her without fuss. You don't have to be fireworks all the time, but it's not quite as much of a contrast with the rest of her resume as say Mira Sorvino's win was (how much Weinstein taking against her affected things, we shall never know, but it can't have helped), but I would say that comparison is the safest one from a worthy/unworthy level (and I don't object to Sorvino either.) I do like it when something unexpected happens like a comedy or a movie that isn't defined by its message or misery actually picks up a senior award. It feels more real somehow, as if rewarding a well made, entertaining movie for being well made and entertaining wasn't the original point of the Oscars. I think her nominations for In the Bedroom and The Wrestler vindicated her too. As if she could say "look, see, I am for real," unlike Sorvino who hasn't ever really gotten close since 1995 and probably won't again, sadly, given there are a few high points, Summer of Sam (and I have a soft-spot for action movie The Replacement Killers on its own terms as a fun Friday evening kind of film).
No offense but another reason That she won is she was a orange in a barrel of apples. She was the in an actually funny movie that was a crowd pleasure and almost a co lead.

I love "My Cousin Vinny" and her performance. She deserved it.
Please keep making content! I love them so much!
I want to, I just cannot guarantee how quick I will be

Tomei was WONDERFUL in My Cousin Vinny. WONDERFUL.
@@terpmaniac totally agree

@slc2466 Thanks for your comment, that's very interesting!
Leave it to you, Fritz, to provide such an incredibly in-depth analysis of one of (if not THE) most shocking wins in Oscar history!
@oscarman42 thanks so much 🥰
i love the woman screaming in the background at 22:10
I get you girl
Good job , dear Fritz .
@ikurrinegartzia5487 thank you 😊
Easy way to check I just pulled up the video he read the card clearly

Marisa was also so great in In the Bedroom.
@@michelehamilton961 she's my pick that year
No offense but another reason That she won is she was a orange in a barrel of apples. She was the in an actually funny movie that was a crowd pleasure and almost a co lead.
Marissa had to compete with J Lo and Rosie Perez, for a limited niche. Marissa evolved into an indie darling.
1 hour and 29 minutes in this topic? Sorry, but life is too precious. But I'm sure is very entertaining.
I totally understand that
Vanessa Redgrave should have won
