Still Angry about 1965 Oscars


I am still mad they gave the best actress Oscar to Julie Christie over Julie Andrews in 1965 ---

Her performance in Sound of Music is arguably the greatest female acting performance in the history of film --- Just because she had won the year before they didn't want to give her the award in back to back years ---

To me one of the 3 biggest mistakes in Academy history ---

1. Julie Andrews being slighted for Sound of music
2. Raging Bull in 1980 losing to Ordinary People (OMG)
3. Joan Blondell losing to Kim Hunter in 1952 ---

"Her performance in Sound of Music is arguably the greatest female acting performance in the history of film."

Come now, isn't that a bit hyperbolic?
