The Next Year

1996


So the nominees were:
  • Brenda Blethyn in Secrets and Lies
  • Diane Keaton in Marvin's Room
  • Frances McDormand in Fargo
  • Kristin Scott Thomas in The English Patient
  • Emily Watson in Breaking the Waves
Doing this year was a spontaneous decision but it was requested once and I feel like doing it, so let's see whom I'll pick.

What do you think? What are your predictions for my ranking? Who's your pick? What's your ranking?

Note: I will only start reviewing next weekend.

    It will be interesting to see if Watson gains another win from another Actress reviewing in a possible growing consensus, but I think someone else could win still.

    1. Watson
    2. Blethyn
    3. Mcdormand
    4. Thomas
    5. Keaton

    I remember that you said that you didn't like Watson as much as others do so I think you will go with Blethyn or McDormand (both very worthy choices).

    We'll see how much I will like Watson. Basically the question is Watson or not Watson. :-)

    YAY! A really interesting year! Brenda most likely, but Emily has a chance I think. She should have won.

    Well Emily Watson seems to win this every time, I've only seen two of the nominated ones so this is what I think your ranking will be:

    1. Frances McDormand.
    2. Brenda Blethyn.
    3. Emily Watson.
    4. Kristin Scott Thomas.
    5. Diane Keaton.

    I love McDormand and despise Thomas, but haven't heard a whole lot about the other three performances. I've never seen them, so this will be an interesting one....

    Lol, maybe despise was a little harsh. My dislike of the movie itself may have rubbed off a bit onto Kristin Scott Thomas's performance, but I'm sure it's not as bad as I remember....hopefully for her...

    oh my, interesting year.

    There's actually one of them I haven't seen, I'm probably saving it for an unknown reason.

    other that that: Emily Watson - BRILLIANT.
