My Favorite Sissy Spacek Performances

1.

Ruth Fowler, In the Bedroom



Twenty one years after winning the Oscar for Coal Miner's Daughter, Spacek was robbed of a second Best Actress Oscar for her blistering performance as a mother who cannot reconcile the death of her college age son, manifested through his toxic affair with a married woman (Marisa Tomei) and along with her husband (Tom Wilkenson) decide to seek the only kind of justice that they feel is satisfactory.
Love this movie, but I would have reversed your #1 and #2.

So does everyone else on the planet and I expected someone to scoff at my #1, and it's not like I hate Coal Miner's Daughter...I listed 25 performances and it placed at #2. I just think she was a little better in In the Bedroom. JMO.
