Juliette deserved. She is such a great actress. Hope Isabelle would get one too.
Agreed!
More videos like these please. Interested in the Oscar races
Thank you so much for watching! Yes, keep an eye out for plenty more videos like this one in the future.
I actually love The English Patient and Juliette was superb , very deserving.
I also loved Secrets and Lies . Tremendous acting all around.
Agreed, both great films! Thanks for watching!
"Secrets and Lies" is one of my all-time favorite movies and if it had won an award for Marriane Jean Baptiste, that would've been amazing.
Excellent point. Thanks for watching!
This seems like one of those cases where performance triumphs over narrative. Having said that, Lauren Bacall was very good too.
I feel like this almost always the case. That's why we see many actors with naratives lose the Oscar. I think people understimate how a performance can make voters overlook the narrative.
It's so rare when an actress over 60 wins the Oscar. See the recent examples: Emmanuelle Riva, Charlotte Rampling, Isabelle Huppert, Glenn Close.
There is a pattern in oscar called oscar babes in which for best actress category the winners mostly are in their 20-30 and the best actor winners are mostly over 40
For the leading actress category but not necessarily for supporting.
Yes so sad. Isabelle huppert and emanuelle riva definitly should had won.. Close in the 80s 2 times, cause colman definitly is deserving.
@@fredd8556 yes, but its sad, that veterans always have a better shot in supporting.
@@makeithappenwithenglish1648 There are a few exceptions : Daniel Day Lewis, Anthony Hopkins, Denzel Washington, Frances Macdormand, Jessica Chastain...
This is my fav new channel!!! please keep them coming.😍
Oh my gosh, thank you so much!! I hope you enjoy my videos to come!
I think Juliette Binoche deserved to win because looking back so many years later, I don’t even remember Lauren Bacall in The Mirror Has Two Faces, but I definitely remember Juliette Binoche in The English Patient and I believe she stood out over the two leads.
Thanks for watching my very first Oscar video!
This is the perfect example of something the Oscars get criticized for quite often: giving awards to nominees for sentimental reasons. Binoche was the deserving winner and, this time, the Academy did the right thing by honoring the "best" performance.
Yes, agreed! Thanks for watching!
Well they certainly haven’t done that with Glenn have they?
Love your videos, Brian! I rewatched this one and was bummed out "Secrets & Lies" didn't clean up at the Oscars; one of my all-time favorite films.
Aww, thanks!
I actually love The Mirror Has Two Faces, but I do have a sweet spot for Barbra Streisand movies. With that said. I do believe the Academy got it right.
Thanks for watching!
This is one of those unfortunate situations where there are two very deserving potential winners in a single year - it would have been lovely to see Lauren Bacall win an Oscar and she would have deserved the award (there's no denying she is an icon), but at the same time there is no denying the brilliance of Juliette Binoche in The English Patient. I really love the physicality and authenticity of her performance, especially given that one of the flaws of the film is that it's a bit overwrought and melodramatic - she feels really organic and grounded. Ultimately I remember Juliette's performance after many years since I last saw The English Patient.
I tend to prefer the award go to the best performance of the year in the category rather than leaning toward external factors (otherwise we end up in these annoying conversations about who is 'overdue' because in a year someone should have won, instead the award went to someone 'overdue', resulting in the next person also being overdue... it's exhausting) :) With that in mind, I agree with the Academy's decision to award Juliette Binoche in this instance.
So many great points here, Shane!! I too love Binoche's performance. Thanks for watching!
It's my first time watching and hearing your video. I'm so impressed with your take on your subject so I quickly subscribed to you. I'll keep on watching you, Brian. I learned something from you.
Yeah, that makes me so happy!! Thanks for watching.
If Elaine Benes was an Academy voter Lauren Bacall would have won :D
Only if Bacall was nominated for Sack Lunch ;)
@@yadiraantoinetasanchez3554 lmao rotfl
I could totally see her sabotaging Bincohe by switching the cards or messing with the ballots lol
@@yadiraantoinetasanchez3554 don’t you wanna know how they got in there?
@@vibeology9432 "And shut that movie off!"
What a great assessment! Loved the video! I was at a friends annual Oscar party that night and loved Juliette in that role, the room screamed with delight after she won. I thought it was the beginning of the end of the "Career Oscars" wins for Hollywood veterans like previous awards to Art Carney and Don Ameche. I was also stunned that you said you were 12 when this happened. lol.🤣. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching!!
For me, the best performance that year was Hershey's bold and searing Madame Merle. Bacall's was perfectly cast - though not a stretch and was the only authentic element in TMHTF. Still, worthy of a win because she IS Hollywood. So why not?
Binoche was luminous in Patient. I was deeply invested in her character and performance far more than anyone else in the film. She had that Miramax machine behind her and that was unstoppable.
Absolutely. Thanks for watching!
I was definitely among those thinking Bacall was a shoo-in. Never have been as sure of a sentimental favorite Oscar win since then.
Agreed! Thanks so much for watching!
Thank U for your video! I think what also helps her to win is the fact that she was not totally supporting, u can place her in leading as well
Thank you so much for watching! Yes, you make a great point that Binoche was sort of in between supporting and leading, like Jennifer Connelly would be in her Oscar-winning performance five years later in A Beautiful Mind.
Thank you for these great videos! You go into great detail about the backgrounds of the actors, past films and nominations. Very informative and it makes me feel nostalgic as well;) Looking forward to more videos about Oscars history!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much!! I hope you enjoy my videos to come!
I think The Academy made the right choice. Bacall was brilliant in her role, but Binoche’s performance struck me so powerfully that still dives into my bones. ❤
This was so similar to the Glenn Close/Olivia Coleman race.
YES! Might have to do a video on that one at some point :) Thanks for watching!
Is it though? Olivia won BAFTA and the other Golden Globe - Comedy/Musical. Bacall won ALL the precursors.
@@itsybitsy999 Binoche won the BAFTA too, even though that was after the Oscars that year. But I mean similar in the sense that voters individually thought that everyone else was gonna have Lauren's/Glenn's back so they voted for their actual favorite.
Glenn Close had been nominated multiple times before when 'The Wife' came. Lauren Bacall, although a screen legend, had never been previously nominated for an Oscar.
I was also predicting Glenn to win, but I wasn’t mad at Olivia winning. Even Olivia acknowledged that everyone knows that Glenn would have won. What I love about Olivia is that she doesn’t really partake in the nitty-gritty of Oscar or Emmy politics of awards campaigning. She never did Actors on Actors or Roundtable interviews, never attended the Oscars Luncheon, or stayed months in America just for campaigns. Even in season 4 of The Crown, Netflix’s priority was Emma Corrin, but Olivia won in the end. I don’t think there’s someone like her. Who else does this? You know, the actors who primarily won on merit. Frances McDormand? Mark Rylance?
Binoche was one of the best and most deserving winners ever, let alone this year
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!!
Not to mention the gigantic campaing that Miramax (Harvey Weinstein) did for the English Patient! Ok... lauren Bacall lost, we all, her fans, were very surprised that night and felt sad! Binoche probably deserved it but it would've been glorious if Bacall got it! Thank God the Academy gave Bacall that Honorary Oscar to celebrate her wonderful work in the movies!!
It would be interesting to find out how many voting members of BAFTA are also voting members for the Academy Awards.
Agreed, that would be fascinating! Thanks for watching!
I just love your videos and analysis - Thank you!
Thank YOU for watching!
Great analysis, but screen time should be #4. Binoche was a borderline lead (even winning the Silver Bear for lead), although deserving. This factor also helped Geena Davis pull off her upset in '89.
YES, excellent point! I should have discussed that aspect as well :)
This also applies to Viola Davis & Alicia Vikander wins too.
@@cvill03 Yes and Marcia Gay Harden, Rachel Weisz, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jennifer Hudson, Mira Sorvino, Marisa Tomei, Whoopi Goldberg, Jessica Lange, Meryl Streep, Tatum O'Neal, Patty Duke, Eva Marie Saint.
@@TheAwardsContender I would have added Bacall's reputation to the list since apparently not everybody was fond of her in Hollywood.
Could this be another one of many cases of category fraud a la Mahershala Ali (in Green Book), for example?
I was also 12 on this Oscar night! Like everyone and their dog, I was predicting Bacall here. I was shocked when Juliette won! The Miramax machine really helped her win. Juliette was great in it. My personal pick would’ve been Marianne Jean-Baptiste hands down.
Yes, absolutely! Thanks for watching!
I think English Patient was the best film of the 1990s. I still love it.
Great movie!
Great movie!
THIS is the channel I knew I needed.
Yay, thanks so much!
Glad that Binoche won. She was the heart and soul of the beautiful Best Picture winner The English Patient.
Agreed! It’s a stunning performance that was justly rewarded even if at the time it came as a giant surprise. Thanks for watching ❤️
I have watched it several times but even watching the clips again I am so drawn to Hanna . The range and depth Juliette gave the role. I
feel like it’s slightly underrated because she wasn’t favored ( though maybe she should have been! ) and the attitude many have about The English Patient.
Seing Barbara hershye win would've been a dream come true!!!
Yes, agreed!!
@@TheAwardsContender who did u want to win?
In my opinion, another reason Binoche won was category fraud, although she wasn't the main character in 'The English Patient', she was in it as much as the leads where, would be interesting to count the minutes of her screen time compared to Kristin Scott-Thomas'
YES, agreed! She definitely had more screen-time than Lauren Bacall.
I bet Juliet had more screen time than Frances McDormand.
Screen time doesn’t always indicate category. One famous example is Anthony Hopkins for “The Silence of the Lambs.” He had less than half an hour of total screen time but won Best Lead Actor, because he had such an impact on the overall film.
@@bryanismyname7583 also there wasn't any other actor that could take the leading place in that film
It was only him and Jodie
Unlike The English Patient which had Kristin Scott Thomas to take the leading place and move Juliette to supporting
@@davidao2551 : There were critics groups that placed Hopkins in support. Jodie Foster being the clear lead. The reason Hopkins got lead at the Oscars has to be that his presence was felt even when he wasn't on-screen. Many people are still surprised to realize how little actual screen time he has. His scenes were sprinkled throughout the film in such a way that you don't necessarily notice it while watching.
I thought the English Patient was strong all round but Binoche was absolutely ‘otherworldly’ she was that good. Her complex, layered portrayal of a woman on the brink of complete emotional exhaustion with eyes so expressive they spoke a thousand words, was simply flawless.
I agree completely. She was the main reason why I loved " The English Patient."
Juliette Binoche is one of the very best working actors in the world.
Agreed. Thanks for watching!
I think Binoche's narrative was quite strong, though not heard enough. Think; a French actress, who has won a Cesar award and has a strong presence in European film festivals. Her story had a so called "high art" quality - known enough to manage a Golden Globe nomination for Three Colours: Blue (one of the best performances of that decade, if not ever), certainly serious enough to have an interview with that pretentious Charlie Rose (I seriously don't know how this man got all those interesting, intelligent and talented people seated opposite him). Damage was considered quite racy at the time, a box office smash. An erotic thriller, directed by Malle, with great performances all around. It garnered praise for Jeremy Irons and Richardson got a Best Supporting Actress nomination (which she coulda/shoulda won, honestly). It's not as if they didn't know Juliette Binoche. They did, and they remembered her as well, because she was really good, she was winning awards around the clock in Europe, she was a foreigner (thereby "exotic", in that oblivious, imperialist sense), and she had starred in an acclaimed, yet controversial erotic thriller. And there she was, Juliette Binoche, in an epic romance, that ticked all the boxes for a film perfectly palatable for Oscar voters, well liked by the audience, and promoted to the heights of heaven and the depths of hell by the Weinstein company. As hard as they might have tried, the voters just couldn't have missed Binoche. Bacall had the perfect narrative and she made sure she would be heard. Nobody missed the legend, Lauren Bacall, getting nominated for the first time ever - she was sure to get it, right? But Binoche was, as you pointed out, in a far better, more important film, delivering a far more memorable, layered, poetic performance, and she also benefited from a relentless promotional campaign. Add to all of that, her quietly interesting, attractive narrative, which nobody talked about, but everyone must have had in mind. Juliette Binoche was overall a much stronger presence than people thought, and it became perfectly apparent on Oscar night. I'm very, very happy she won, because she has been Miss International Cinema for 30+ years now, and it would have been a horrendous omission for an actress of her caliber to not have won an Oscar. It's a pity that meant Bacall was bereft of her time to shine.
Thanks for your thorough comment, and for watching!
Thanks Brian!! What a brilliant work you did!! Just keep on doing it!!!
The Mirror Has Two Faces is my all time favorite film and Bacall is a huge reason why.
I love it too!
The channel I needed in my daily life
Yay, I’m so glad. Thanks for watching!
Binoche was really the best of that year. And her film was the most nominated of the night, with 12, also the most acclaimed. Yes you could say all the criticisms about Miramax’s campaigning, but the film stands as an instant classic. A sweeping epic that the Academy cant ignore
Lauren Bacall should have won. However, one major reason not mentioned is that many people in the Film Industry simply did not like her. Do some research on this topic. I had a friend who was her Dresser on the National Tour of WOMAN OF THE YEAR and the nightmare stories of her behavior backstage and not just on this project, translated into a lot of people refusing to vote for her. I however still believe she should have won for her extraordinary performance in an excellent film (yes, I really loved THE MIRROR HAS TWO FACES). Also, it should be pointed out that many people simply did not like THE ENGLISH PATIENT, my being one of them, though Juliette Binoche did an excellent job in the film.
Please make a video of how Marion won against Julie in 2008 Best Actress race. I believe, they were the first "Olivia-Glenn" type of situation.
But in this video, the 1997 best actress race was one (if not) the toughest in history. Brenda could have won too and so could Emily Watson.
Yep, that video is definitely in my future. Thanks for watching!
Emily Watson was more than excellent!! Heartbreaking movie
I'd love to see the Marion-Julie video 🤩
This was one of those rare times when every single Supporting actress was not a "filler" but gave a genuinely, fully realized, performances. Hershey and Allen were my personal favorites for the win becausei could feel and understand the women they were playing, completely taken by their personal stories. However, Binoche (a true lead Actress not Supporting here) was a bravura performance that couldn't be ignored and she deserved it 100%. Not a Supporting though, so a bit of a category fraud; she had more screen time and prominence than the lead, the incomparable Scott Thomas in the same film
100% agreed!
Binoche deserved it - get over yourselves - her performance in The English Patient is superb, again and again. Yes, Bacall is/was a veteran and beloved and it would have been lovely for her to win of course. But that's not how it works and the fact that some were thinking 'it's a forgone conclusion, well, whatever happened to competition and surprise? I love a spanner in the works. It's not half as exciting sitting and watching every single prediction just unfold on screen. Binoche in The English Patient reminds me a lot of Winslet for The Reader, each could have been nominated in the other category easily enough. Who do you remember more from The English Patient? Scott-Thomas or Binoche? Binoche - she lingers long after the film ends.
Thanks for watching!
There are surprises sometimes like Marcia Harden who won the Oscar without being nominated for Sag or the other precursor awards. Or Marlk Rylance.
Yep, always. Thanks for watching!
@@TheAwardsContender can u do a video on why glenn close was close (no pun intended lol!) To the oscar in 2019 for the wife
@@user-wo6kl8wb4r stay tuned!
Bacall deserved her moment, but Binoche and Jean Baptiste were the truly top 2 queens of the category that year.
Couldn’t agree more! Thanks for watching!
They were both excellent and yes it’s also sad that Bacall won several leading up to the Oscars to lose there.
I remember when I watched “The English Patient” in the movie theater, I fell immediately in love with Juliet Binoche. I felt she was going to win Oscar Night, now if only I placed money on that prediction 😆
You would’ve won so much money haha!
I feel Juliette’s best supporting actress Oscar also shows a major politics in the award show where best actress nominations and wins usually go to A-list actresses and movie stars while best supporting actress go to either vertan character actresses long overdue for an Oscar or young ingenue actresses who were the leads in their respective films but are too new and young to go head to head with A-list actresses/movie stars. Even quote on quote “newcomers” who get nominated and win for the best actress Oscar are usually either A-list actresses in film/acting markets outside Hollywood that are now making a Hollywood/American breakthrough (Olivia Coleman who was a acclaimed and popular character actress in Britain film/TV/theatre when she won for the favorite or Julie Andrews who was the Queen of Broadway when she won for Mary poppins) or they are A-list household names in other non-acting fields bringing that A-list level to the acting field (lady Gaga being a pop music icon and started getting into more acting with American horror story by the time she did a star is born or Diana Ross being the Queen of Motown pop and R&B music when she transformed into Billie holiday for lady sings the blues)
In a real world Juliette would’ve been nominated and possibly won best actress while her co star Kristen stewart Thomas would’ve been nominated for best supporting actress. I also think the same at the 2007 Oscars with Jennifer Hudson winning best supporting actress for dreamgirls despite being the center piece for the entire film and Meryl Streep being nominated for best actress for the devil wears Prada despite the fact that she was more an amazing scene stealing supporting role while Anne Hathaway was the true lead
I actually thought Kate Winslet, still new to audiences at the time, should’ve been nominated and even won for her performance as Ophelia in “Hamlet” that year. Kenneth Branagh’s brilliant adaptation of Shakespeare’s play was under seen, largely due to the four hour running time putting people off. Despite a huge cast of international stars, including Robin Williams and Billy Crystal, it didn’t reach a wide enough audience to get the attention it deserved.
Excellent point! I love Winslet’s performance in Hamlet. Thanks for watching!
Secrets and Lies is a complete masterpiece. As much as I love Juliette Binoche, I wish Marianne Jean Baptiste won this one.
That would have been a great win! Thanks for watching!
Secrets & Lies....terrific film!!
Can u rank the performances in ur opinion? Mine would be oscar for barbara hershey
2) julliette
3) lauren
4) mary jean
5) joan allen
I love Barbara's performance in POAL especially at the end where she says to Kidman "u r very unhappy I know but I'm more so"
9:20 I see Saul Zaentz and hear John Fogerty’s song “Zaentz Can’t Dance” stuck in my head. Saul was his worst enemy, Fogerty’s words not mine
Great video! Hope you keep them coming! (:
Thank you for your kind words! Means a lot, and I hope you enjoy my videos to come.
Secrets & Lies should’ve swept all of its nominations!
It’s such a terrific film. Thanks for watching!
My favorite performance by juliette is in her 1991 movie les amants du pont neuf and heck i would even say that i like it better than anthony hopkins or jodie foster's performances in sotl the same year and I ABSOLUTELY ADORE them in that movie to the point where i even mimic their scenes together lol
But juliette is just magical in les amants you cannot tell or teach an actor to do what she did with her performance period
Agreed, I love her so much. Thanks for watching!
Thank you♥♥♥
You’re welcome!
Best Actress was actually a two way race between McDormand and Brenda Blethyn. One of the Secrets and Lies producers admitted that Blethyn and Mike Leigh didn't work the press in the way they should have which definitely hurt Blethyn's chances.
Yes, excellent point! Thanks for watching!!
Great video. I'm glad Juliette won.
Thank you for watching! Agreed, she was the right choice.
Juliette Binoche was one of the only reasons for watching the insufferable The English Patient! Had Bacall won, it would have been for her career not for The Mirror Has Two Faces.
Next video: Marcia Gay Harden vs Kate Hudson
A friend of mine did a video on that race, so I’m skipping that one actually. But definitely check out his video. Thanks so much for watching!
That was difficult to decide:
- Kate: GG
- Judi: Sags
- Frances: CC
- Julie: Bafta
@@TheAwardsContender post the link of the video
Personally for Marianne Jean Baptiste, if the category fraud wasn’t there (hey it’s Joey from AQ, lol) but due to MJB being lead I gotta go Barbara Hershey for the win
Excellent choice! Hershey is an amazing actress and deserves to have been nominated for more films (Black Swan especially!).
Hey Brian, I defeated you like Juliette Binoche did over Bacall that year, I was 13! That being said, Bacall was petrified on her seat like poor Glenn Close and in both cases classy European ladies referred to the supposed winner in a very relaxed way!
Love it!
Have to disagree about known names winning in supporting a lot. Mark Rylance, Anna Paquin, Alicia Vikander etc. were all pretty much unknown to your average film goer at the time of their wins. Good analysis of this race though. Bacall unfortunately was in this silly, vanity movie from Streisand. And the film industry has a lot of the time been indifferent to Streisand films. Bacall herself had a prickly reputation which I’m sure cost her votes. Plus with the English Patient winning many awards that night, the Binoche win not only was a win for her but for the cast, since Rush and McDormand had the lead categories about sewn up.
Great points throughout. Thanks for watching!
@@TheAwardsContender thank you sir. I’d love to see a Marisa Tomei clip. That was the biggest shocking supporting actress win of all time. I have my reasons I think she won like to see if i agree with your analysis.
I also think that Mark Rylance’s Oscar win has much to do more with the British bloc of the Oscars. He may not be a film star but he is one of the greatest actors of his generation in the British theatre (Mark is in the same generation as that of Simon Russell Beale, Mark Strong, Kenneth Branagh, Ben Daniels, to name a few). Mark has won a Tony and Olivier awards, and has been nominated several times. At that time of his Oscar win, the miniseries Wolf Hall aired on the BBC and PBS, and he got much recognition in the said show. His screen career is doing fine (he was recently in Don’t Look Up), but I don’t think it is his priority. It has been and will always be theatre. In fact, he’s currently in the West End reprising his iconic role in the play Jerusalem, where he is scheduled for a 16-week run.
The Oscars are always more fun when there is a surprise in a big category. I loved Binoche'a performance and am not a fan of "career" Oscars (Don Ameche). I was watching with friends and all of our dogs. When Spacey said "Juliette Binoche," I let out such a piercing scream that all of the dogs stared at me for the next 20 minutes.
Hershey was amazing! Too bad she wasn't nominated fpr haftas ps sag that year. Sue was the nest of them all. Portrait was better than Then English Patient
Yes, I love Barbara Hershey and her work. Thanks for watching!
Frankly, my choice for best supporting actress wasn’t even on the nominations list-Renée Zellweger for Jerry Maguire. Jerry Maguire is tied with Scream as my favorite movie of 1996, and at the heart of this wonderful film is her character. Cruise and Cuba are great, and I’m glad they got their recognition, but the emotional core of the movie is Dorothy. Not only is the “you had me at hello” scene an absolute classic, I also get a little teary-eyed in the scene where she talks to her sister Laurel, confessing how much she truly loves Jerry, despite his flaws. And then, of course, he happens to overhear it. A truly wonderful performance, and would’ve been my winner. And even if you don’t think she deserved it for Jerry Maguire, I think at the very least we can agree she was better in that movie than Cold Mountain, which she won for.
After seeing The English Patient in the theater, I thought Juliet Binoche as Hannah was the more interesting character than the leads and deserved Oscar attention. So beautifully played, I too thought she didn't have a chance against Bacall who deserved her nomination. When Juliet's name was called, I knew this was one of the times the Academy got it right. Marcia Gay Harden in Pollack also comes to mind. She didn't win any precursor awards, but got her much deserved Osçar for her role in that film. I'm still waiting for the Academy to recall The wins of Gwyneth Paltro, Renee Zellwegger
and Sandra Bullock though.
Brian, love the video but please fix the audio level...its too low!!
The Oscar’s may not pick who you want but the reason will explain so much …take note Grammys!
Agreed. Thanks for watching!
Gotta love Miramax! 90s cinema was great because of them! My favorite decade of movies! I love The English Patient. People ride the hate train without even watching the movie.
I'm not going to lie, I have never watched The English Patient simply because I view it as "the movie that stole Lauren BaCall's Oscar."
Ha, it’s a good film.
LOL Oh, my.
Memory will do weird things to you.
I remember Juliette defeating Lauren, and everyone's shock and surprise.
However, I was sure that Lauren was nominated for her role in "Misery" which came out in 1990. Wow. Not sure I trust my memory for anything anymore.
Can you make a video about Marcia Gay Harden winning Oscar in 2000 but never been nominated for a Critics Choice, Golden Globe, SAG and BAFTA? Thats a rare feat 👍
My friend made a video about that race. Thanks for watching!
What is the link of your friend? I cant see it. Tnx 😊
And a shout-out to "The Fan"!
Of course, haha! Thanks for watching!
I love the English Patient, if was one of the first movies my wife and I went to see together, and was routing for it to win. For best supporting actress, I love Marianne Jean-Baptiste thought she was wonderful in Secrets & Lies, but since I loved the English Patient so much, I was fine with Juliette winning. I would have been fine if Lauren had won, I saw the Mirror and thought she was good in it, be in the end the right woman won.
Joan Allen won the Critics Choice Award for Best Supporting Actress in The Crucible, not Lauren Bacall.
Barbara hershey should've won, hands down!
It would have been a great win. Thanks for watching!
@@TheAwardsContender yup but barbra wasn't nominated for either a bafta or sag. I wpnder why Baftas ignored portrait pf a lady, such a good piece of work
Great Video. I still think Bacall was robbed. Her narrative was too strong + precursors to not predict her
Thanks so much for watching! Yes, it always stops my heart in that video when she doesn’t win. It was clear this was likely her own shot at a competitive Oscar.
I found The English Patient torotrous to sit through. In my opinion the only saving grace of the film was Juliette Binoche.
torturous....sorry
She’s wonderful!
Didn’t watch the Oscars in ‘97 (I wasn’t even born yet!) but I would have been predicting Bacall too. I predicted Glenn Close would win in 2019
Yes, Bacall seemed like such a sure thing. And you should've seen my face when Glenn Close lost in 2019, that was just so shocking! Thanks for watching my video :)
@@TheAwardsContender I cried when Glenn lost in 2019. It was a horrible moment.
@Renan C.S. Maia Olivia Colman deserved it tho
I don't think she was robbed the Academy had become less sentimental by this time I would have given it to juliet the days of Oscar's being given to undeserving actors like John Wayne over burton voigt Hoffman thank god
Excellent point. Thanks for watching!
Even in the 70s they were moving in that direction. Witness DeNiro in Godfather Ii beating Fred Astaire for Towering Inferno. I remember someone on a talk show telling the host Astaire 'should already be writing his acceptance speech.' But they went with DeNiro's impressive turn. But then gave it to Carney later the same night, so go figure..
Binoche should have won Best Actress and McDormand Supporting 😮
Did u like the portrait of a lady? I wonder why Baftas snubbed it completely, why do u mean by with so many performers before and since?
What did Baccall say that night??
What do u mean by" with so many performers before and since hershey's win was the nomination itsel"
Many performers nominated for an Oscar have had no chance in actually winning, and I think Hershey fell into that category.
@@TheAwardsContender lol she did look kinda pissed when juliette's name was announced instead of hers, don't u think?
What about Harvey Weinstein?
That year, "The English Patient", "Sling Blade", and "Emma" won 11 Oscars total. These 3 films are Miramax film and the campaigns were run by Weinstein. He was behind this.
Ok Lauren is very talented but did she rub people the wrong way she came to Rochester to receive George Eastman award I know someone who works there said she was not nice?
Thanks for watching!
You don't do that to a historical superstar without an Oscar at his age, no matter how good Binoche's performance was. The same thing has been done to Glenn Close several times. The bad thing is that Bacall is gone. I don't watch the Oscars anymore.
Yes, you're absolutely right, there was something a little bit cruel about Bacall losing after winning so many of the precursors. Thanks for watching!
The Oscars are a popularity contest. As such, no one truly "defeats" anyone else. No one is locked in Mortal Combat: It comes down to the number of votes. And younger actors and actresses may not have the "chops" to adjudge a truly superior performance if they themselves are relatively inexperienced. I am glad the Oscars grew sophisticated enough to finally begin announcing, "And the Oscar goes to..." because it is NOT always the best performance that wins the Oscar. If it was, Meryl Streep would have at least 3 more Oscars out of the 18 other times she did not win.
I'm not a fan of this whole "battle" mentality: who "defeated" who. It is simply who the award is awarded TO.
Thanks for watching!
🔥🔥
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Wasn't Joan Allen who won the Critics Choice?
Actually yes
Siskel & Ebert didn’t love Norma Rae but Field won that Oscar so Bacall should have got it. It’s just wrong she didn’t
Binoche was the leading actress on that movie!! Why she won suporting actress ? 😥
the English Patient is such a bore of a film. Yes it is well done. But let me tell you, THe theater was packed when i went to see The Mirror has Two Faces.
Thanks for watching my first Oscar video!
Tom beating out Morgan freeman and John Travolta in 94
Green book beating out the favorite
An Oscar omission for ex machina, swiss army man, do the right thing, killing of a sacred deer, the Lobster, even though they each got like one nom
Totallly wrong about best actress which was meant for Brenda blethyn in secrets and lies
I always belive Juliette Binoche was better than Lauren Bacall.Isuported her then and I suported her now.
You need to discuss why madonna was not nominated for best actress in evita.
The Academy has a Love/Hate Relationship with Streisand Giving Bacall an Oscar, means they are Recognizing Streisand as a Director, and God Forbid, they would do THAT! They are a Jealous and Petty bunch!
Did you like Portrait of a lady?
Yes, cold but excellent film!
@@TheAwardsContender do u think it deserved more oscar nods??
