Shirley MacLaine, Postcards From the Edge (1990)

Virna Lisi - in a performance which won her countless awards here in Europe, including Best Actress at Cannes and the Best Supporting Actress Cesar & David di Donatello - is, unsurprisingly, my pick.
Even I didn't find Keaton or O'Hara very interesting in those cliched mother roles, but others, like Hershey or Redgrave, could be good alternative choices.

I voted for the always under-appreciated Maureen O'Hara, who has never had an Oscar nomination for anything and still doesn't have an honorary Oscar to make up with the constant Slights.
Shirley MacLaine would have been my second choice.

Mary Stuart Masterson in At Close Range! Mary Stuart Masterson in Immediate Family (a National Board of Review Award winning performance).
Other than Stew, to my dying day, I'll never understand how Shirley MacLaine failed to be nominated for her great, Oscar-bait performance in Postcards From The Edge.

I voted for Alfre Woodard. Lovely performance, though not supporting at all.

I know it's hard to put these things together, Magilla, but Christina Ricci in The Ice Storm and Rosemarie Dewitt in Rachel Getting Married were cited by numerous folk on the yearly threads -- certainly far more than cared about Keaton in Family Stone or O'Hara in Only the Lonely.
Of this bunch...Redgrave, who was the best in her year.

Genevieve Bujold is my favorite. Sorry, Diane Keaton in The Family Stone? That´s a forgettable performance!

Judy Parfitt (Dolores Claiborne) is egregiously missing from this list.
From those listed, I'll choose Barbara Hershey for what is probably the best of the three sisters in Allen's classic.
We re-watched The Family Stone on Christmas Eve night and Keaton really was deserving of a nod, if not a win, for the delicate tightrope she walks in that film as the matriarch Sybil.

Here we have the final poll in the series and the final poll of the year.
I'm sure I've left off a few that I'll be hearing about.
