Some thoughts on 1975:

1) How could the Globes NOT nominate at least one of the following for Best Comedy/Musical is beyond comprehension...Love and Death; Monty Python & The Holy Grail; The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

2) The consensus here seems to be that it was a terrible year for Best Actresses. Is that true? If one looks at a list of worthy non-nominees...Marisa Berenson, Karen Black, Florinda Bolkan, Julie Christie, Faye Dunaway, Diane Keaton, Katherine Ross, Susan Sarandon, Barbra Streisand...can we really say that the Academy groaned in filling a slate of five deserving selections?

3) When I think of many of the fine Supporting Actor performances in this year...Alan Arkin, Richard Benjamin, John Cazale, Graham Chapman, Charles Durning, Henry Gibson, Anthony Perkins, Robert Shaw...I think that maybe none of the Oscar 5 would have made my list -- possible exception, Brad Dourif. I would not have nominated Burns, Meredith, Sarandon or Warden. This is unusual since my crossover with the Academy's choices averages about 3/5.

I thought Jodie Foster's performance in Nell is one of the three or four worst performances of the 90s. Staggeringly dreadful.

There were some terrific performances in 1994 - Judy Davis in The Ref, Irene Jacob in Three Colours Red, Melanie Lynskey and Kate Winslet in Heavenly Creatures and the ineligible Linda Fiorentino were all terrific. The nominees were a notably poor bunch - I found Ryder horribly bland in Little Women, Lange and Richardson at their most ordinary. Sarandon was best by default, but I wouldn't have nominated a single one of them.

If Muriel's Wedding had been released a few months earlier in the US, I wonder if the sheer lack of competition would have propelled Toni Collette's wonderful, star-making performance into competition.

I don´t consider 1995 a weak year for leading performances taking into account the prestigious works of Sarandon, Shue,Stone, Streep and Thompson.

I meant the year Lange won for Blue Sky (1994?). Ryder, Foster, Sarandon, and Richardson rounded out the nominees. Some good performances but not an especially stacked year for Best Actress.

As “one-note” as it might be, Fletcher’s performance scares the crap out of me in a similar way that Kathy Bates’ performance in Misery does. There’s just something so creepy and perfunctory about it. I don’t think just anyone else could’ve played it although out of the supposed short-list of Colleen Dewhurst, Geraldine Page, Anne Bancroft, Ellen Burstyn, Shelley Duvall, Jane Fonda, and Angela Lansbury, I’d say that either Dewhurst or Page would’ve been excellent.

All in all, a pretty weak year for Best Actress. I think you have to look at last year’s race or 1995’s for a comparable slate.

I've never been overly impressed with Louise Fletcher's performance. She's effective enough within the constraints of the role, but it's such a limited part that any half-decent actress could have played it just as well. Surely in almost any other year she would have either been nominated as supporting or not been nominated at all.

Adjani's mesmerising performance was clearly far superior and it pains me that her complex, riveting work lost out to this one-note role.

I've just seen Tommy for the first time - 31 years too late. Wasn't terribly impressed by anything other than Tina Turner and Ann-Margret. Just wondering what would have happened had Louise Fletcher and 'Cuckoo' been released in a different year. Who would have taken the statue home? Taking into account that Glenda Jackson already had two wins in the previous six years.
