I haven't seen Adams' performance, but I'm surprised to see her move even higher than the last time we did this. Guess this is a must-see now.

So sad Anne Bancroft didn't even chart the list this time for The Graduate. She was my #2. It's funny, too, because when she made this list the last time, I had frauded her and put her in Lead Actress, but now when I put her in Supporting she doesn't make it. Or maybe she makes Lead (I hope, I pray)?

Come on, Kinski is good but not nearly that good.
finally a result that makes sense. Well deserved victory

Leachman is my #1 in the category and the film is my #4 of all-time so I'm very happy.

Honestly, all (except Walters) aren't surprising if you've been with this board since the past few of these awards shows we've done. I know Laurie has made it before, and I think Tomlin has been on every single one of these lists. That being said, I haven't seen Tomlin, but I'm happy for the other two. Well Piper does nothing for me, and I can't get my around this board's obsession with Tomlin. It's such a nothing performance, easily outshined by several of her costars (particularly Blakley and Gibson). She speaks quietly in a couple scenes and stares longingly into the foreground in a couple more. Granted she didn't have much to work with and her character is but one in an ensemble of thinly-drawn individuals that are never fully realized or deeply developed. Her performance is quality, but is it good enough to be named among the best of the best? Hell no. Not even close. Her character is too underwritten for her understated performance to be remarkable. Feel the same about Waters. She's good, maybe very good, but definitely overrated here.

Fun facts about the Supporting Actress list
- A total of 48 performances have placed on the five different editions of this list. 6 of them have remained on all five lists.
- Two performances on this list have never placed in the Top 25 before: Brenda Fricker in My Left Foot and Melora Walters in Magnolia.
- Jessica Chastain, Patricia Clarkson, Madeline Kahn, Vanessa Redgrave, Meryl Streep, and Dianne Wiest all received votes for four different performances.
- Two gender-bending performances appear on the list: Cate Blanchett in I’m Not There and Linda Hunt in The Year of Living Dangerously.
- Two performances directed by Elia Kazan appear on the list, as do two directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.
- 10 of the performances on the list won Oscars, and 10 more were nominated.
- A different performance has topped all five editions of this list. (Meryl Streep in Kramer vs. Kramer in 2008, Sandy Dennis in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? in 2009, Judith Anderson in Rebecca in 2012, and Mo’Nique in Precious in 2014.)
- Sandy Dennis’s performance in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is the first performance to place at #1 (2009) and later drop out of the Top 25.
- The oldest performance in the Top 25 is #15 (Margaret Hamilton, The Wizard of Oz, 1939). The newest is #10 (Lesley Manville, Another Year, 2010). This makes for a 71 year gap.

Well I also haven't seen much in this category, it's my weakest acting one, so a lot of understated ones made the cut for me. I suppose it all depends on taste, though. I'm sure once I see more Laurie will get pushed out of my top 25, but Walters really hit me hard and she and John C. Reilly were the ones I left that monster of a film thinking about when all was said and done and even to this day still do. But I do know it needs a re-watch.
