My list ends there. I'm only nominating one for Best Supporting Actress

BUMP!

Only three noms so far

BUMP! Yo! Anyone else going to fill this out? I'm interested to see what you guys come up with.

In all this time you couldn't come up with four more nominees for Best Supporting Actress?


So far looks like the closest thing to a unanimous choice is DeNiro as Best Actor for Raging Bull, with Gena Rowlands in A Woman Under the Influence and Liz Taylor in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? battling for Best Actress.

Of course there are only three ballots in, and only one of them is really complete, so....

Well, I just haven't really ever thought of anyone more deserving than Ellen Burstyn. Her performance kept me from turning the movie off.
