Favorite Non-Oscar Nominated Performances: Actress, 2001 - Blu-ray Forum

SelwynMcGinty · 10-02-2024, 07:58 PM

As the title of the thread suggests, we're looking to pinpoint the Next Best Celebrated Acting Performances of film history. Plenty of great turns get ignored or forgotten through the sands of time, and this is a quick way to review and vote for our favorites.

This is for the North American calendar release year of 2001, so to save us clicking on Wikipedia, the following Oscar nominees are exempt:

Best Actress - Halle Berry, Monster’s Ball
Judi Dench, Iris
Nicole Kidman, Moulin Rouge
Sissy Spacek, In the Bedroom
Renee Zellweger, Bridget Jones’s Diary

Best Supp. Actress - Jennifer Connelly, A Beautiful Mind
Helen Mirren, Gosford Park
Maggie Smith, Gosford Park
Marisa Tomei, In the Bedroom
Kate Winslet, Iris

Anything else is fair game! You may notice that the choices are primarily Leading roles, but I'm not going to disallow other selections. It doesn't seem fair or sensible to quibble about Lead/Supporting categories.

Feel free to discuss these or other choices, 2001 the movie year in general, or any other rankings or opinions.

Thanks to everyone participating in these crazy polls! Cheers!
