The year is 1973 and the nominees are: 1. Liv Ullmann - The Emigrants 2. Liza Minnelli - Cabaret 3. Diana Ross - Lady Sings the Blues 4. Cicely Tyson - Sounder 5. Maggie Smith - Travels with My Aunt 1973 was a big year at the Academy Awards. Liza Minnelli won the Oscar for her iconic work in Cabaret. Liv Ullmann was nominated for The Emigrants, the first film to be nominated for Best Picture and Best Foreign Language film in the same year. Maggie Smith was inexplicably nominated for her hilarious, campy work in Travels with My Aunt. Diana Ross was nominated for a very inaccurate biopic of Billie Holiday in Lady Sings the Blues. Cicely Tyson was nominated for Sounder. This was the first time in Oscar history that two women of colour were nominated for Best Actress at the same time. This has only happened once since, in 2021, when Viola Davis and Andra Day were nominated for their respective performances in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and The United States vs. Billie Holiday; giving truth to the arguement, Oscars so white.
