....got robbed at the 1996 Oscars in my opinion.

Her acting was so powerful and believeable. In the scene with her husband in the truck in town, when it was raining and she saw Robert that last time, you can feel her emotions, her pain that was tearing her apart. To go or to stay. And when she was pulling on the door handle, it made me sit up and wonder what she was going to do. Powerful acting it was. Yes, she was robbed.

______________________

Oscars® for 95' release films, handed out early 96'. I don't know how many of the other best actress contenders you have seen for this year; but to my mind, I regard 1995 as an exceptionally strong year for female performances and contenders. All the nominees, could have a valid argument made for winning.

I was happy to honor the win for Susan Sarandon and thought she throughly deserved it. Streep would have been my second choice, as I believe this is one of her best performances. If Kathy Bates had been nominated for 'Dolores Claibourne", it would have been a hard judgment call for me to make.

As impressed as I was with Sarandon’s performance—and Bates’s too (Dolores Claiborne remains Stephen King’s most underrated story-turned-film)—I feel the win belonged to Streep.

To be fair, Susan Sarandon in Dead Man Walking was excellent too
