A very underrated oscar winning performance.


In the past 15 years this has to be the least talked about performance to win the Best actress oscar.I think it was because everyone wanted Jessica to win and knew how great she is, but didn't talk about it for such consolatory adulation is better reserved for the much aged greats. She was still young for to be considered a legend.

It's a superb performance and the fact that it was four years old by the time she won, shows just how strong of an actress Lange is.

Jessica Lange is absolutely great in this role....!!!

A worthy oscar ... better than the one in Tootsie !!

reply

Lange is brilliant

I absolutely love what you said here because Jessica Lange is my absolute favorite actress in the world who never got the acclaim she deserved. I loved what you said about being "still young for to be considered a legend." I couldn't agree with you more.

I think HBO's "Grey Gardens" proves that Lange is back and has more up her sleeve.

reply

Absolutely; she was pitch-perfect in Grey Gardens. She won the Emmy award.

Criminally underrated, such a great performance and she absolutely deserved her Oscar and all the other awards she got.

How is being an Oscar winning actor "underrated"?
A great actor who stars in a given tv series or soap who will never be a feature film actor is underrated.

I don't see what was so dismal about it, except that it's trendy that people said it. Is it only dismal 'after the fact', since she went on to more artistic films?
If King King was a critical/commercial hit, would her performance still had been considered dismal? If she was wasn't right for the role, they would not had cast her among all the other women available. She did what the role called for.
