I thought I was the only one who felt this way. I recently screened three films from 1972, "Cabaret", "Lady Sings the Blues" and "Sounder" and I would have to agree that Minnelli did not deserve the Oscar that year. 

Cicely Tyson acted rings around Liza that year and IMO clearly deserved the win with Ross coming in a close second. Liza to me was a distant third. 
 

 

 

Not going to happen, but I would love to see Lois Smith get a Kennedy Center Honor.

The Academy members gave Liza the Oscar they didn't give to Judy for "A Star is Born".

It happened in 1955 --- 62 years ago --- GET OVER IT!

Jeffrey Karasarides said: "Academy members usually love to award actors for taking on such transformative performances. Plus, Grace Kelly had a more serious role compared to Garland's.

 

" You make good point. Halle Berry, Charlize Theron, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Hillary Swank have all cooked that recipe for an Oscar too, Hiding their good looks to disappear into an amazing performance.
