Which Best Actress would you have voted for 25 years ago in the Oscar race?
- Brenda Blethyn, Secrets & Lies (BAFTA, GLOBE, LAFCA, CANNES, BSFC)
- Diane Keaton, Marvin's Room
- Frances McDormand, Fargo (SAG, OSCAR, NBR, CFCA, KCFCC, CCA, SEFCA)
- Kristin Scott Thomas, The English Patient (NBR *supporting)
- Emily Watson, Breaking The Waves (NYFCC, NSFC)
This is why we do Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals here at TFE. It's easier that way! Anyway... 1996 was one of those years like 1950, 1974, 1987, 1995, or 2006 that Best Actress fans will be debating forever. Do you think 2021/22 will be like that or will we look back on the current race as a mild 'coulda been better' one?
