I love this video, cause oscar winning performances through the history is a VERY specific subject that almost no one talks about, and I'm so happy to find someone doing it. Man, finally...
I could not disagree more. Shirley Booth's performance in Come Back Little Sheba is by far the best Oscar winning performance by any actor male or female in the 1950's.
My rankings for this list 1.Simone Signoret (Room at the Top)She was mezmorizing 2.Joanne Woodward ( The Three Faces of Eve) absolutely astounding . 3. Vivien Leigh (A Streetcar Named Desire ) a delciate fragile performance .Exqusite . 4.Anna Magnani ( The Rode Tatoo )intense ,gritty, heartfelt 5.Audrey Hepburn ( Roman Holiday ) Charming 6.Susan Hayward ( I Want To Live ) not my favorite but wow I can't say she didn't give it her all and she the desperation is felt . 7. Shirley Booth ( Comeback Little Sheba ) I do feel some sympathy for the character 8.Ingrid Begman (Anastasia ) it would be lower but the others I like less.The film is tedious and I am not so young. Bergman is an incrediable actress but Debroah Kerr was superb. 9. Eliazabethe Taylor (BUUterfield 8) Not much I can say. She ranks nine instead of ten becasue she's the best part of the movie and she's proven herself before and after this one .This one though is hard to take Shirley MacLaine gave the performance of the year in The Apartment 10. Grace Kelly (The Country Girl) . I like her in Rear Wondow. but the other nominees that year were stronger.
it's amazing how what is 'oscar worthy' changes over time. And while Grace Kelley gave a fabulous performance, it was still a performance. Judy Garland BECAME Esther/Vicki. But Oscar has almost as much to do with the politics behind the scenes as the product up front.
You calling Anastasia boring is monumentally ridiculous. It shows that you have come from the generation that has the attention span of a gnat. The movie was stunning from beginning to end. Not a boring second in it.
Agree… I knew this video and it’s maker couldn’t be taken seriously, as soon as I heard Shirley Booth was ranked so low… Plus, how could someone rank/score performances when they haven’t even watched some of the movies/performances?!?!
I understand your views on Come Back Little Sheba being outdated because, at the end of the day, that film is from the 50's. Now I do personally understand perfectly why she won, during the '50s Hollywood was following a renovation era, the old divas from the 30s and even from the start of the 40s were already being replaced with new divas (Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner, Elizabeth Taylor, etc), but also they were trying to get new ''Serious actresses'' like Bette Davis or Barbara Stanwyck and like always those who came from the stage were the first they thought of. Like in the 30s with Katharine Hepburn who dominated (Who by the 50s was pretty much the only actress from the start of the 30s who still had a strong career), they could bring newcomers who imitated that kind of success. Shirley Booth like her co-nominee Julie Harris had some of the most successful plays on Broadway and were asked to act those once again on the screen. Giving them not only the nominations but the wins they assured those actresses would get the prestige of serious and great actresses, a thing that by the way didn't work because those two actresses preferred to focus on the stage and appeared in films every now and then. Talking about the performance itself, I think Shirley mastered the emotions and the mood needed for that film, you can feel her loneliness under all that talking and one thing that worked amazing for the film was the lack of chemistry between Shirley and Burt because it helped to show that their love was pretty much dead, also her motherly attitude towards Terry Moore was not only believable but palpable, that's my opinion. My Thoughts of the other nominees are kinda mixed, I believe that Joan Crawford totally and definitely deserved that Oscar nomination for her good role in Sudden Fear, a film that helped her show every kind of emotion from seriousness, love, and charm to fear, anger or sadness, truly a good film with a great screenplay that worked good not only to her character but also to Jack Palance and Gloria Grahame character too. Julie Harris pretty much follows the same story as Shirley Booth, just that Come Back Little Sheba was a better-liked film, and that played against her. Bette Davis, in my opinion, had no space that year, that film and everything regarding it is just too much, if one of Bette Davis's impersonators acted that performance they could pretty much imitate it perfectly, a camp classic where Bette worked with what she had (that wasn't much) and gave everything she could, still to get her an Oscar nomination for the campiest film of her filmography is truly a surprise. Susan Hayward as usual was pretty good ( I don't have much thought of that film). Definitely, I think both Debbie Reynolds for Singin' in the Rain and Olivia de Havilland for My Cousin Rachel were more deserved nominations (and wins) than others. I would exchange Bette Davis and Susan Hayward for Debbie Reynolds and Olivia de Havilland.
Joanne Woodward and Susan Hayward actresses I haven’t heard Minch about. That statement alone should give you absolutely no reason to have a Movie Channel! You have no clue in your reviews or knowledge

Exactly…
You absolutely must watch sometime The Nun’s Story, it contains what is absolutely Audrey Hepburn’s best performance.
I'll have to check it out! I don't think Audrey has led me astray yet so I'm sure it's good
@@margot-gordon warning: it is a long film, somewhat episodic in nature.
I really enjoy your videos. I think you'd like the documentary 'The Last Movie Stars' about Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward that came out last year.

I agree with you wholeheartedly about “I Want to Live!”
it's amazing how what is 'oscar worthy' changes over time. And while Grace Kelley gave a fabulous performance, it was still a performance. Judy Garland BECAME Esther/Vicki. But Oscar has almost as much to do with the politics behind the scenes as the product up front.
Not just Oscar, Grace Kelly won all the precursor awards that year and deserved the win, so it was hardly any upset…

There is no need to be insulting. An art gets reinterpreted all the time. She is not obligated to love every classic film. It’s her channel
