This ought to make you happy: Renee Zellweger won for her "performance" in Cold Mountain that year. BLURGH. You and I are, I do believe, the only people on Earth who adored this perf. of Ricci's though. So while most people tend to agree now that Zellweger's win was an abomination, I also think they'd award one of the other nominees the prize (Shohreh Aghdashloo was wonderful in House of Sand and Fog; Marcia Gay Harden in Mystic River, blah; Patty Clarkson in Pieces of April, haven't seen it; and Holly Hunter was great in thirteen) before even thinking about Ricci. Unfortunately.

What slag stole the best supporting Oscar from Ricci that year?

ReplyDeletePatricia Clarkson, but for The Station Agent. (Or Emma Thompson in Love, Actually)
ReplyDeleteBut I thought Christina was just fine.
"just fine", thems fightin' words
ReplyDeleteChristina Ricci's performance was HORRIBLY snubbed by critics and the Academy. I also think she deserved an Oscar nod. She's on my ballot for 2003.
