Diane Lane at least deserved to be nominated for Best Actress. Diane Keaton was (and also won the Golden Globe) for the lesser (IMO) Something's Gotta Give. Heck, Jamie Lee Curtis in Freaky Friday (also, another GG nominee that year) deserved a nod more than Keaton. I really didn't care for Keaton in SGG. She was just her usual, quirky, histrionic self, as she's in all her rom-coms. Lane showed great range in UTTS. Even her facial expressions said so much, like when she walks into Katherine's apartment while she's getting her portrait painted. At first, you only see it from France's POV, and her reaction tells you everything before you see it, without being OTT. JLC also showed great range, when she morphed from the strict, stodgy, therapist mom to the rebellious, teenage, garage band daughter, with aplomb. I remember both Lane and JLC being seriously considered for a nomination that year, but in the end Keaton beat them, inexplicably.
