    I loved Marisa Tomei in this role. She makes the film worth rewatching. Such a shame that she had to endure all those hurtful comments later. The Oscars are supposed to be about excellent performances in roles that viewers enjoy, not just with characters where someone has psychological issues or is dying. This lovely lady delivered and well deserved her win.

      Marisa Tomei was relatively unknown at this point and was up against some big stars for the award. Because the presenter, Jack Palance, had been acting a little strangely, people started saying that he'd become confused and said the wrong name. Vanessa Redgrave had been the favourite to win and, so, poor Marisa Tomei's big moment was soured by these horrible rumours for years afterwards.

      I just love watching a flick where a relative unknown steals every scene she's in.
      A similar situation is when a waning actor comes out of no where and does the same thing. Smokey and the Bandit comes to mind. Originally, a Burt Reynolds, Sally Field vehicle. Jackie Gleason as Sherif Buford T. Justice just stole the movie from them. He was brilliant.

      I agree. She might have been able to win that award without even speaking, and I am also not talking about her beauty, which I agree is stunning.
      Her facial expressions to the prosecutor during the voir dire, her pure joy giggling as the train is causing things to fall off shelves in the hotel room, her looks at Vinny when he pisses her off. But I guess you need her voice for the "leaf-eating, doe-eyed little deer" scene, which was awesome.

    Marisa was wonderful in that role. It's one of the few times the Academy surprised everyone, but got it right. It's sad that she had to endure such crap over her win due to sour grapes that a new comer in a comedy role actually won over established Oscar darlings. The way Marisa elevated "My Cousin Vinny" with her performance is still talked about today, while the others have largely been forgotten. Marisa has helped silence many of those who spitefully claimed she didn't deserve her Oscar by the endurance of her performance and getting two more nominations since.

      She really did get slammed by a lot of people for this ( especially me). Now that I'm older and ( hopefully wiser) and seeing her range in other films I think the academy did get it right She is just a powerhouse of timing, humour, and sense of history ( channeling Judy Holliday). Over time she has continuously proved that she can oscillate effortlessly between comedy and drama.

      yes, but who is that lunatic screaming in the back of the theatre when she wins; Tomei was good in this but Vanessa Redgrave, Judy Davis and Miranda Richardson were much better; Tomei however was excellent 9 years later and should have won for her nominated performance in "In the Bedroom" costarring Sissy Spacek

      +musicaltheatergeek79 I disagree. She was cast against type, so frail and unimaginative was the woman she played. There was barely a trace of the real Vanessa in that performance. It was one of her best. But Marisa was the correct choice. "If you think I'm hostile now, wait till you see me tonight." A riot.

      of course she does. Did you see the movies she was up against? No one has heard of ANY of those movies and it would have been criminal to give the Oscar to any of the other ladies for movies that did nothing, and no one watched. The real crime was Best Supporting Actor not going to Jack Nicholson for A Few Good Men and going to Gene instead for Unforgiven. Gene did great, but wasn't even close to the performance that Jack did in his movie.

      As for Australia, bullshit. It’s already 20% Asian there. One of the most multicultural western nations in the world. You would be straining to find an Australian that is pure british heritage unless they’re a migrant. South Australia, particularly the barrosa valley has always been the league hub for German immigration. Most defendants are 7th generation Australians already. In fact America has more people of English decent than Australia. Also being the fact that the largest immigration to Australia is from China and India not Britain, you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about. Look at classrooms and school photos. White kids are the minority now. Not to mention the LARGE population of white people who date Asian women now. So, don’t you say that australians are predominately british or only fuck british people because it simply ain’t true.
      Just a stupid yank that thinks they’re 100% American in denial about their british heritage. Hell, even your president had a british grandparent

    I think dramatic actresses are wonderful. Hell, you have Joan Plowright and Vanessa fucking Redgrave. However, I think the most difficult realm of acting lies within comedy. Writing a comedy is difficult as it is let alone acting in one. Comedic performances often get overlooked because actors have to think of not only digging in the character but having a sharp sense of comedic timing, and finding ways to make people laugh and sob all at once. It is tough and Marisa deserved it!
