I'd give her 6 wins for Kramer vs. Kramer, The French Lieutenant's Woman, Sophie's Choice, Silkwood, Out of Africa and The Bridges of Madison County. She's my runner up for A Cry in the Dark, Adaptation and The Devil Wears Prada. People love to call her overrated but looking at the amount of truly amazing work in her long career I do honestly think she's the best ever. I do hope she does more movies soon and gets nominated again. If The Post is her last nomination, I'd be alright with that considering it's her best work of the 2010s. August Osage County is to me her most underrated nomination where she's absolutely ferocious in.

Well, I think she was the best of the nominees 5 times:
- 1978, The Deer Hunter - 1979, Kramer vs. Kramer - 1982, Sophie's Choice - 1995, The Bridges of Madison County - 2008, Doubt
But I wouldn't give her 5 Oscars if I had that power of all powers. I'd make it three: 1979, 1982 and 1995.

I think just Sophie's Choice and even then I feel like I'm forgetting a performance I'd give the win over her.

1978 Best Supporting Actress: The Deer Hunter 1979 Best Supporting Actress: Kramer vs. Kramer 1982 Best Actress: Sophie's Choice 1983 Best Actress: Silkwood 1985 Best Actress: Out of Africa 1988 Best Actress: A Cry in the Dark (Evil Angels) 1990 Best Actress: Postcards from the Edge 1995 Best Actress: The Bridges of Madison County 2002 Best Supporting Actress: Adaptation. 2006 Best Actress: The Devil Wears Prada 2006 Best Supporting Actress: A Prairie Home Companion 2009 Best Actress: Julie & Julia
I have no issue with her wins for Kramer and Sophie. My film knowledge is strongest for the mid-90s to present day. For 2012, my vote would have gone toward Rooney Mara.

If you go by the official lineups and the official competition, I think she deserved it just once: 1988 for A Cry in the Dark/Evil Angels.
Of the other times, let's see how I'd rank her out of the competition....
1978: #3 (Smith, Stapleton) 1979: #2 (Bergen) 1981: #2 (Mason) 1982: #3 (Lange, Andrews) 1983: #3 (Alexander, Winger) 1985: #3 (Goldberg, Page) 1987: #5 (Hunter, Kirkland, Close, Cher) 1990: #2 (Woodward) 1995: #2 (Sarandon) 1998: #2 (Paltrow) 1999: #3 (Moore, Bening [even though I despise her film]) 2002: #5 (Latifah, Zeta-Jones, Bates, Moore) 2006: #3 (Mirren, Dench) 2008: #3 (Jolie, Leo) 2009: #2 (Sidibe) 2011: #4 (Davis, Mara, Close) 2013: #5 (Bullock, Dench, Adams, Blanchett) 2014: #4 (Knightley, Dern, Arquette) 2016: #2 (Portman) 2017: #5 (Robbie, Hawkins, McDormand, Ronan)

Post by Tommen_Saperstein on Jun 21, 2024 18:10:11 GMT
going from her nominations, 5 from her 21
1978 - The Deer Hunter 1979 - Kramer vs. Kramer 1982 - Sophie's Choice 1983 - Silkwood 2002 - Adaptation
and she's second only to Close in 1988
in my own lineups with some adjusted category placements, I also give her 5 wins. Lead for Sophie's and Silkwood, and Supporting for Kramer, Ironweed, and Adaptation. She'd also be my win in 1978 if Geraldine Page wasn't so clearly supporting in Interiors.

Story of Women didn't get a US release until 1989, so, by Oscar eligibility standards, they wouldn't go going head to head in the same year. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/6692321/images/KAUR26Rad8w62aSMorQH.gif)

I would give her the first two she has. Although I've considered A Cry in the Dark because I just thought she was particularly brilliant there, but that year is tough.

That year has got to be one of the strongest the category has ever seen. (Going by US release dates - i.e. no Adjani or Huppert here.) My lineup would be somewhere here... Don't ask me how to narrow it down. Glenn Close, Dangerous LiaisonsJudy Davis, High TideMelanie Griffith, Working GirlBarbara Hershey, A World ApartAmy Irving, Crossing Delancey Christine Lahti, Running on EmptyShirley MacLaine, Madame SousatzkaCarmen Maura, Women on the Verge of a Nervous BreakdownMichelle Pfeiffer, Married to the MobGena Rowlands, Another WomanSusan Sarandon, Bull DurhamMeryl Streep, A Cry in the DarkI've seen Foster and Weaver, but I haven't seen Jamie Lee Curtis.

1....Out of Africa.
Weak as hell year is the only reason why.
Heres the complete rundown of her most famous years and categories.
1978... Urbanpatrician pick: Maggie Smith for California Suite
1979... Urbanpatrician pick: Mariel Hemingway for Manhattan
1981... Urbanpatrician pick: Diane Keaton - Reds
1982.... Urbanpatrician pick: Jessica Lange - Frances
1983....Urbanpatrician pick: Isabelle Adjani - One Deadly Summer
1985... Urbanpatrician pick: Meryl Streep - Plenty or Out of Africa.
She can take that weak as shit year. Easily one of my least favorite wins I've given out, tho.
1987... Urbanpatrician pick: Barbra Streisand - Nuts
1988... Urbanpatrician pick: Sigourney Weaver - Gorillas in the Mist or Catherine Denueve - Strange Place for an Encounter
1992... Urbanpatrician pick: Tilda Swinton - Orlando
1995: Urbanpatrician pick: Vanessa Paradis - Elisa
2002: Urbanpatrician pick: Samantha Morton - Minority Report for supporting
Julianne Moore - Far From Heaven leading
2003: Urbanpatrician pick: Anais Demoustier - Time of the Wolf
2006: Urbanpatrician pick: Judi Dench - Notes on a Scandal
2008: Urbanpatrician pick: Tilda Swinton - Julia
2017: Urbanpatrician pick: Isabelle Huppert - Claire's Camera.
So...basically 1. Would be 0 if 1985 resembled a real year. But even then I might switch to Sandrine Bonnaire for Vagabond. Not my favorite of her works but she's not far off from Streep.
