The year is 1995 and the nominees are:
1. Jodie Foster - Nell
2. Miranda Richardson - Tom & Viv
3. Susan Sarandon - The Client
4. Winona Ryder - Little Women
5. Jessica Lange - Blue Sky
In 1995 Jessica Lange won her second Oscar for Blue Sky playing the wife of a nuclear engineer living on a military base who eventually becomes part of a cover-up. This year is regarded as one of the most “meh” years in Oscar history for Best Actress - mostly due to the fact that the roles for women at this time weren’t great. It was said by critics that these nominees were great actresses nominated for their careers or body of work rather than an individual performance on screen that year (yikes). I have to admit, I agree. This was a bit of a painful episode but one of my favourites to discuss. Other nominees included Miranda Richardson for Tom & Viv playing the wife of T.S. Eliot and is described as “morally insane” (same girl). Susan Sarandon was nominated for The Client playing a lawyer defending a child who witnesses the suicide of a mafia lawyer. Jodie Foster was nominated for Nell playing a feral woman found in the woods (many argued she should have been supporting, at best). Finally, Winona Ryder plays Jo in Little Women (fantastically so!).
