How I love reactions like Samuel L. Jackson's. So authentic. But my goodness, Close and Bassett's reactions broke my heart.

When you mention how actresses in the 1970s or earlier often didn't seem to be happy to be there, it's probably just that they're nervous, as the result was much more up in the air than it is now. There was no SAG, and BAFTA was held later, so there weren't the overlap voters that could give an indication of who really had a shot. There were some big surprises (e.g., your example of Glenda Jackson for A Touch of Class). Nowadays if an actress knows that she won't win then she can enjoy the nomination and have fun on Oscar night.

Glenda Jackson felt like 5th in line, having just won 3 years earlier for Women in Love (in a very very weak year where the true best Barbara Loden in Wanda was not nominated), and with many saying the Touch of Class Picture nomination was really bad, considering other eligible films, e.g., Mean Streets, Badlands, Don't Look Now, Paper Moon, even The Way We Were and Sleeper.

In his early years Burt Reynolds did some sterling acting ("Run Simon Run", "Deliverance"). Unfortunately, whether it was his choice or an agent's, the roles he later took never lived up to that early promise.

What if Talia Shire had been nominated in supporting for Rocky instead of lead? She might have won.

Shire actually won a few critics awards for supporting actress that year, so maybe she thought she had a shot. But there was a lot of talk about how hard it was to fill the best actress lineups in the early to mid-70s, which is one reason we see some arguably supporting performances in lead (look at the 1975 lineup!), and we see a lot of foreign language performances (which is actually a great thing, imho).

Oh, Brian, this was an especially good video! Thanks for posting. I agree that it is a shame about Samuel L. Jackson. I especially liked his performance in a little-known film with Ben Affleck in 2004 called "Changing Lanes." Not many people seemed to care about this movie yet I loved it!

You really got me with this video. Im a habitual 10 second reverse double tapper on all of these oscar videos. Surprised that Shirly MacLaine's reaction upon losing to Diane Keaton in 1978 didn't make your list.

Great video. My late brother always hated Sally Kirkland from that reaction; I don't think he knew the lead-up to that moment and I don't know that he would've cared. He thought it was so tacky it created a visceral feeling about her. That's the first one I thought of when I saw the thumbnail for this.

Alan Arkin's win was one of the worst ever. His performance was nowhere near the most memorable of Little Miss Sunshine, that was Steve Carell or especially Paul Dano. I don't blame Murphy for being upset that he lost to such an unmemorable performance as Alan Arkin's.

I predicted the #1 spot from a mile away, and I definitely agree Another favorite of mine needs to be contrasted with the winner's reaction, but it's practically all the losers' reaction to Daniel Day-Lewis winning for "My Left Foot": they all look ecstatic on DDL's behalf, while the latter’s reaction is basically "Oh, I won? I better head to the stage then"

Loved this video and especially your comment about the actresses being there at gunpoint! That's how it looks and how it feels while watching these awards shows which I've been watching religiously for many decades. Crocodile Dundee's, Paul Hogan, speech in 1986 at the Oscars is the best to date.

Gaga with Olivia Colman and also Gaga when Natu Natu won Original Song in 2022 are amazing.

I always thought that Best Supporting Actress was a three way race between Bassett, Curtis, and Condon. I kept switching my predictions. Once Jamie won the SAG I could feel the momentum for a huge win total for EEAAO happening and I made my final switch to Jamie for the win.

Regardless of whether you think Angela Bassett should have won or not, one thing is certain, with the Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award in her hand - she was the favorite to win. The Oscars had already made the mistake of not giving her the Oscar for "What's Love Got to Do with It?". They weren't going to do it again..... But they did.... And then the Honorary Oscar seemed more like a kind of "sorry, don't cry" than because of the fantastic career she had... I hope Angela Bassett has the opportunity to win a competitive Oscar in the future. She is an extraordinary actress.

@@MarcioDAstrain Doesn't matter that SAG and BAFTA went different ways, even one of those two is still more significant than Globe + Critics Choice combo. Those two happen so early in the season that they mainly help for momentum, which Bassett lost. Her movie also wasn't in Best Picture. Now, I do know that some predicted Angela Bassett, but to me it was clear she wasn't winning. I remember being very confused why some stuck with her.

Why on God's earth would you say such harsh things on this comment like that?

If you mentioned Cate's reaction to Marion's win, why not mention Meryl's reaction when Cher won? That was an enthusiastic reaction, if you really wanted to go for a memorable reaction... I mean, you talk about that particular video (from Sally Kirkland's perspective though)....

@TheAwardsContender nice compilation, but if you are going to tell us what Jessica Lange, and Samuel L. Jackson said PLEASE include your lip reading skills for Ellen Burstyn reaction. It's only fair. I certainly enjoyed the video. Cheers.

Hey Brian. I really enjoy your videos. Please make one about Sally's Oscar campaign. She is a very close personal friend of mine and I know she would appreciate it. Thanks.

Time for me to sue , that Gold Derby article caused a major fiasco and economic loss.

I will remember Sally Kirkland that year.. If anyone deserves an Oscar for campaigning, it's that poor woman..She was on every talk show selling herself, and giving mini-acceptance speeches just in case she didn't win.. For that, I was rooting for her.. Eddie?.. Not sure he was expecting to win.. He did no campaigning, and allowed Norbit to open just before voting started, which took away some steam..it was like he didn't want it..if he did, he had some terrible planning..🤭.. I believe Angela received a honorary Oscar last year.. It was definitely a mulligan, but an Oscar nonetheless..

Brian, will you be reviewing Furiousa?

I agree, she was in a Marvel film and EEOAO was so popular that I assume Hsu was second. Honestly I can see all the other actresses being before Bassett just because it’s possible some voters wanted to give more love to their films than to Black Panther. Bassett is more seen as snubbed by award sites than by industry

Great video ❤

Hi, please do a video devoted to the Best Actress Oscar races in those years when there were hardly any women's movie roles that were worthy of consideration. For instance in 1975, when Louise Fletcher won her award....Thanks!

I was going to mention Angela probably read your article before you pointed out she retweeted it. I work in film and during an awards campagin, a team is focused intently on getting someone nominated and then, if possible, to be a frontrunner. Whenever there is positive press, it's sent the client's way -- "Look, someone said you should have won." I remember Entertainment Weekly interviewed Academy members anonymously about who they voted for and someone said "Mark Wahlberg for The Departed because he was the only nominee who seemed to know what he was doing in his role." Then Mark, a long long shot to win that year, seemed so disappointed when he lost. It seemed to be slanting to Eddie Murphy and then Alan Arkin was a surprise winner but Mark wasn't even a contender but because of that article, I think he gave himself hope everyone loved him and was going to vote for him.

One moment I remember wasn't quite a reaction so much as a subtle action. In 2015, Michael Keaton lost to Eddie Redmayne. It appears that Keaton slipped a paper, what many believe was an acceptance speech, under this arm so he could clap for the winner. As Redmayne steps onstage, you can see Keaton slipping the paper into his pocket. He seemed so sure of a win that he actually had it ready to go. Sadly for him, it did not go according to plan.

I like Stallone’s reaction when Peter Finch won for Network. He gets all giddy before the announcement and when Liv Ullman reads “Peter Finch for Network,” he goes from giddy to “what the…”

Angela shouldn’t have even been nominated. Her performance was not Oscar worthy. She is a good actress, but that performance did not deserve it.

I think Cate Blanchett actually has said she voted for Marion . I actually got this feeling right before Frances McDormand announced Olivia Colman that she wouldn’t say Glenn’s name but I wasn’t sure whose name she would call. I don’t think Jamie Lee winning surprised me it’s like the momentum shifted. Love Holly Hunter’s reaction of course she probably knew she was winning best actress later that night.

Great Video! I can understand Eddie Murphy’s reaction tho. His performance was just as beloved as Jennifer Hudson’s in Dreamgirls. He won the Golden Globe and the SAG award, Eddie and Alan was kinda neck and neck in competition, and Eddie almost had the upper hand. The Oscar still went to Alan (god rest his soul) and everybody decided to blame Eddie’s loss on Norbit coming out so soon after Dreamgirls which was bad timing on Paramount/Dreamworks part but I still find that excuse to be bullshit. Actors win Oscars then go on to do bad movies all the time! If Eddie gets punished for doing a bad movie then everyone else needs to as well, I believe the true reason he lost was because of his comments about the academy’s racism back in the 80s and some of the voters still hold a grudge against him over that but oh well.
