Katharine Hepburn 4,607 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I was watching some videos about famous academy award upsets and found one on the 1955 Oscar race between Judy for the first remake of A Star Is Born and how she lost best actress to Grace Kelly. I think it gives good insight into how Hollywood and the Academy works xoxo Joanne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLACKOUTbritney 22,352 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 The year that Shakespeare In Love won both female acting categories was by far the worst year Dial M for Murder and Rear Window are 2 of the greatest films ever so the fact she had them released in the same year and then finished off the year with country girl I think she was just as deserving for the Oscar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulholland 1,052 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I don't know how you watch Judy in this film and then decline to give her an Oscar. Her finest performance ever. But that's Hollywood politics for ya. And that's why these awards are won and lost by studio PR perfectly (or imperfectly) executed over the course of 6 months, not by whether a film or performance is good or worthy.

anthonyv 121 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Two reasons. The studio system was still in power. MGM had a shitload of votes. They steered them all to Kelly. The Golden Girl with a seven year contract. On top of it plain and simple Judy had been ...well... difficult... again ...on the set and the film didn’t make the money they thought it would .....so Warner’s just shrugged and let it go. Warner’s had no further interest in the film or Garland . In her defense, Kelly shows really wonderful wonderful range in the country girl… However Judy had been making millions and delivering incredible performances for almost 18 years at that point ...... ..she deserved it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

androiduser 7,438 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 fans already preparing excuses in case Gaga doesn't win, I see.... mind you, the haters will be using the exact same tactics and examples from the past to discredit Gaga's nomination.... "the Academy is unfair", "it's all PR, "she bought it" etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
