The Supporting Actress Smackdown is up! This is an interesting one, with a really wide variety of opinions. (I'm stunned that I'm the one championing Ann-Margaret.) It really was fascinating to watch this set of flicks and I'm delighted by the collective disagreement. (Even if my gal didn't win.)
In case you're wondering, the nominees are:
- Ann-Margaret in Carnal Knowledge
- Ellen Burstyn in The Last Picture Show
- Barbara Harris in Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me? (trivia fact: the longest title to ever garner an Oscar nomination!)
- Cloris Leachman in The Last Picture Show
- Margaret Leighton in The Go-Between

Geez! I was 14 in 1971 and (apparently) tall enough to manage to get in to see every one of those films but "Go-Between."
Among the cinematically inarticulate but hormnonally active 14-year old males of 1971, I'd guess that Ann Margret would've been the hands down favorite.
Ann-Margaret. Patty K
