OK, my mistake. Thank you for forwarding that.
I wonder why it can not be for someone who has had an amazing impact (like Grace or Ingrid) much more than some current nominees but have left this Earth way too soon.

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.

It's a lifetime achievement, not a posthumous honor. It's something that artists work toward and giving it to them after they are dead sort of negates the point.

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".

Grace deserved that Oscar for Country Girl JMHO, Judy unfairly ran campaign against her saying all she did was not wear makeup and look dowdy

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.
