The next Best Actress year...
I have posted the draw on Youtube and here it is. There is nothing entertaining about it, it's just to let you know I wasn't cheating. I never cheat, because I believe a lot in letting destiny decide. :) I don't take doubles! It so happens that this Best Actress year is one of the historical ones and one that pleases me.
The 19 eligible / available years were:
(I must remember you that 37, 47, 57 & 65 had already been discussed)
33, 39, 40, 43, 44, 46, 48, 50, 53, 54, 56, 59, 61, 62, 63, 64, 66, 67, 69
Game:
It's the easiest one so far :) If you want to guess and not look at the video! :P I'm gonna give clues on the winning year. No cheating and from-your-own-memory only. Plus, I've mentioned the years, which makes it even more easier.
Clues:
- a legendary actress / Hollywood movie star!
- a silent-movie darling;
- an iconic comedy performance (but not performer).
If you open it, go to the ending for the answer. There's no sound :)
Haha!
ReplyDeleteNow, I'm really excited for this year.
It's a battle between Davis, Swanson, Holliday, and Emerson (who unusually gets a lot of support nowadays). I'd be surprised to see Baxter win, but who knows?
Can't wait for this one!
Well, 1950 is surely a historic one. Can't wait to hear your thoughts about the nominees. Bette will win, of course, I think she is one of your favorite nominees ever. My ranking:
ReplyDelete1. Judy Holliday
2. Gloria Swanson
3. Bette Davis
4. Eleanor Parker
5. Anne Baxter
Fritz knows what he's saying :D I have written more than once on Andrew's blog (I think) that Bette's performance as Margo Channing is probably my favorite performance EVER...
ReplyDeletebut i can imagine one of the most generous rating / love spreading I've ever done on this blog.
Malcolm, I'm always open for surprises and previous Best Actress discussions have proven it.
Fritz, I am familiar with the ranking, I saw it (again) yesterday, while googling for photos of the actresses. (again: you've brilliant with tagging your photos/blog, as u always show up on first results)
Davis will win, but I'm interested to see your thoughts on all of them, especially Swanson and Parker.
ReplyDeleteas i was planning to mention when i'll officialy announce 1950, Caged is the only film of the 4 I haven't seen...
ReplyDeleteI am obviously quite curious, but i don't wanna put pressure on Parker's performance.
NO CONTEST swanson wins.
ReplyDeleteDavis wins this one. Gloria's my pick and I was disappointed by Parker's performance a bit. But I don't want to influence you.
ReplyDeleteI am actually trying to not influence myself and keep and open mind when going into every Best Actress year :)
