    This was a fairly competitive year for this category. But handily, Huston gave the best performance. She artfully combined the slyness and complexity of her role while hitting all the subtle, emotional peaks. Huston hilariously mined the dark aspects of her character without being a cliche.

    I thought Margaret Avery gave the best performance that year and Meg Tilly was incredible. Anjelica Huston gave a wonderful performance for all the points you have mentioned - and I love the movie very much - but many Academy members vote for their friends and/or people with whom they have worked. We have heard stories of how some videos - of performances submitted for review - are not even looked at, a they don't know the actor, the director, or find the plot too creative, too confounding. There was no way the daughter of John Huston (Maltese Falcon, Chinatown) and the girlfriend of Jack Nicholson was going to lose that night. Every now and then, the Academy gets it right (for the right actor and the right performance). Oftentimes, it's for the right actor but the wrong performance, or a performance in which they believe the actor is due, after having given the award to a friend of the Academy in an earlier year.

    She gave an even better performance in her father’s last picture, “The Dead.” But I don’t recall if she was nominated. The Dead was a small film about Ireland in the early-1900s. Anjelica doesn’t do much through most of the picture, until near the end. Then she gives the most heart-rending reminiscence about long-departed friends and family.

    Not only was she wonderful in Prizzi's Honor but she is part of a true Hollywood heritage. Anjelica's dad John Huston wrote and directed such Hollywood classics as Prizzi's Honor, Key Largo, The Dead, The African Queen, Treasure of Sierra Madre. Anjelica's grandfather Walter Huston was one of the best, most solid, modern actors Hollywood ever produced. Some of Walter Huston's best performances were in films like the Devil and Daniel Webster, Treasure of Sierra Madre, Dodsworth and Yankee Doodle Dandy as Jimmy Cagney's father. A real Hollywood dynasty.

    This may seem like a controversial choice now considering how beloved The Color Purple is now, but Huston swept all the critics' awards that year. I remember not believing Huston won for that performance considering all the excellent performances she gave afterwards. Further, after seeing Huston's performance, with that small amount of screen time, I couldn't believe she beat out Tilly in what was essentially a lead role with the most screen time and the tour de forces of Avery and Winfrey. But then I couldn't get Huston's performance out of my mind and it really stayed with me. I realized she gave a deceptively natural performance and really showed level of skill. I can see why she walked away with the award. Tilly may have had more screen time, but I don't think she really gave anything more to the role than was asked for as the role itself gave most of the performance. Furthermore, The Color Purple is a movie that I loved when I first saw it when I was younger, but I seem to like it less and less every time I watch it. I just notice its flaws more and thought Spielberg was a bit immature with some of the direction he gave. Oprah gave a good debut performance but I don't know if she gave one that was really award worthy once you take away the initial shock of some of her scenes as she was only adequate in the quieter scenes. Avery, I can see being deserving but Huston, I think, showed more nuance and subtlety and was in a more challenging role because there were no big scenes for her to show-off like the way Avery was able to. People say Spielberg was robbed of a Best Director nod, but I can see how Kurosawa, my personal pick, and Weir edged him out in the the Best Director category. Kurosawa's directing in Ran was masterful and should be taught, and even the seemingly lighthearted Prizzi's Honor showed Huston at the top of his game. The movie was paced perfectly, the scenes shot expertly with the perfect balance of comedy and darkness. His subtle use of light, especially in the way he shot Huston, showed what a first-rate job he did. I can see why Spielberg was warmer received for Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan in comparison to his work here. But then, I think my favorite Spielberg film and directing job was actually in Lincoln, so that shows where my tastes lie.
