I regret to inform that I had to bow out of StinkyLulu's Supporting Actress Smackdown for 1992. I haven't participated in a long time and I had really hoped to. 1992's women offer a wealth of Oscar discussables and tropes: the wisecracking dame, the old biddy, the longsuffering spouse, the maligned winner, the nominee who maybe isn't being thanked for the performance she's nominated for but for her entire year, the Woody Allen player, Oscar's perceived anglophilia versus its perceived nationalism.The nominees were:
- Judy Davis, Husbands and Wives
- Joan Plowright, Enchanted April
- Vanessa Redgrave, Howards End
- Miranda Richardson, Damages
- Marisa Tomei, My Cousin Vinny
Helena Bonham-Carter, Howards End- Judy Davis, Husbands and Wives
- Miranda Richardson, The Crying Game (I'm not sure what it is about this performance that I find so spooky but she really puts me on edge. 1992 was such a peak year for Richardson: This film, Damage, Enchanted April, the BAFTA & Globe win, the Oscar nom. When will she get another chance like this? She was even better in Spider (2002) but no plum parts as of late)
- Marisa Tomei, My Cousin Vinny [new readers take note: she talked to me about this Oscar win on the first episode of the Film Experience Podcast]
Now get on outta here and enjoy Stinky's Smackdown!
P.S. Oscar prediction updates coming June 1st and 2nd. Sorry for the delay
