Can any movie fan understand this...

[Mr. Dyer]

... how Ellen Burstyn did NOT win an Oscar for performance in Requiem Of A Dream?

 

[wilsonsdad2003]

I know. She makes me cry every time I watch it. Brilliant performance.

 

[Johnny Awesome]

I can never remember who was up for what and when, so who was she up against that year for Best Actress and who won over her?

 

[Aaron J]

Julia Roberts for Erin Brokovich. A good performance but no where near as good as Ellen's in Requiem.

 

[questionslove]

Who was Ellen? The old woman or the young girl?

 

[Veggie]

The old woman.

 

[FoxySam18]

The young girl was Labrynth's very own Jennifer Connelly.

 

[BTMF]

Who was Ellen!!?

My goodness gracious me.

Ellen Burstyn was also Oscar worthy for her performance in The Exorcist. What a body of work that performance was. Intense, controlled and iconic.

 

[TaraynM]

I'm only 18, the exorcist was made in 1973 almost 20 years before I was born!

 

[VICTORIA Joachim]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but are you hot!?

 

[Alfuewi]

What has that got to do with anything?

 

[Emotionally Happy.]

What's love got to do, got to do with it? :yawn:

 

[Chris Brown]

Same reason as she didn't win one for The Exorcist, misguided idiots prefer shit.

 

[<33Mayra]

Strange....

 

[Marko S]

...and how she didn't win an Oscar for her performance of Lady SummerIsle (or whatever she was called) in The Wicker Man remake?

Maybe because she agreed to appear in that crock of shit is why she didn't win...

 

[Darnell]

Quite a few actors/actresses made a bad choice with that crap.
