Well, this was before Meryl became the new Katherine Hepburn and before her first Oscar, which was the next year, I believe for Kramer Vs Kramer, and the rest is history. However, make no mistake, Maggie is every bit as good an actress as anyone and can do anything. The year that Liza won, Maggie did the wonderful Travels With My Aunt, which was a brilliant comic performance, but she had won four years before for Jean Brodie, beating Liza among others, who was up for The Steril Coco.

Sincerity is the most important thing in an award acceptance speech. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

I just rewatched the whole film. Still in awe of how Maggie Smith and Michael Caine manage to gradually turn a comedy into a tragedy and do it so seamlessly and elegantly. It was heart wrenching when Maggie said “let it be me, tonight”. That’s really a great performance and so worth an Oscar.

And the best part is that she got the Oscar for the role of an actress who is on her way to the Academy Awards and then has to watch the Oscar go to a younger girl. It's so "meta" that it belongs in the history of film studies.

I still don't feel Oscar nom worthy though. I liked her better in Alien, because she really was great at being terrified. I can endorse a nomination for that even though her character in that isn't super fleshed out, she was just more effective in that role.

No political garbage either. Plus, it was so wonderful to see Johnny Carson. A class act all wrapped up in a funny talented man. He was truly the last of the Great Oscar Hosts. Miss him.

The acting by the presenters is stunning..

Maureen Stapleton was never better than she was in INTERIORS. Maggie Smith displayed the positive and negative sides to her character in CALIFORNIA SUITE so an Oscar was not wasted on her at all.
