No Oscar nod for Joan?


I seriously hate how comedic and horror performances are often overlooked at the Academy Awards. Joan Cusack was so superb as Debbie in this film that I think she deserved an Oscar nomination. She was nominated for Working Girl and In & Out, so why not this? I think it's one of her best performances. Nearly thirty years later, Debbie Jellinsky is an iconic villain.

A nomination for In and Out? Holy hell, we know why.

She was great, there are almost zero female villains who are entertaining. They usually just become too cunty and attempt to be men.
