He said, "I can smell your Oscar."

So the results are in for the upteenth poll.

I had asked who, out of the lovely five women nominated in 1990 for Best Actress, should have walked away with the trophy.

In 5th place our beloved C.C. Bloom - ie Bette Midler in “For The Boys” with absolutely no votes. Sniff

In 4th place with a measly 6% we have Nikki Grace/Susan Blue (aka Laura Dern for “Rambling Rose”). I have to ask where is her second nomination?

In 3rd place we have Muriel Pritchett herself, Geena Davis in “Thelma and Louise” who could only muster 7%.

Which means 2nd place had a slight 10% lead over Geena was her co-star and eventual Oscar winner Susan Sarandon for “Thelma and Louise”….I really expected her to place much higher and possibly stop

….Sarah Tobias from taking gold with a nice lead of 68%. What can we say, the populous wins out (well yeah), and is it any surprise that the winner is probably the most seen film of the bunch?

Jodie Fosters performance in “The Silence of the Lambs” is probably the only time a woman in an actionist film has won Best Actress. She in fact did what Sigourney Weaver could not do with “Aliens”. Not to say Clarice Starling is all action, but she gets to play a role usually played by men, and in fact plays it better.

I couldn’t have been happier that she won this. I am now waiting till she rejoins the Oscar nominee list.

We move up a year next…fancy that! We will look at 1992 when the nominees to choose from were…..


Diane Ladd - Rambling Rose
Juliette Lewis - Cape Fear
Kate Nelligan - The Prince of Tides
Mercedes Ruehl - The Fisher King
Jessica Tandy - Fried Green Tomatoes


Go on vote people!!!! I know it is not the best year ever, but still….VOTE!. Poll is in the side to your right!
