People say she didn't deserve it because of such short screen time, but I disagree. I think the fact that she managed to make such an impression in such a short time is a true testament to her acting skills. I really think she deserved it. It's harder to shine as an actor in a small, supporting role but Ruby Dee managed to.
Judi Dench won an Academy Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role for her role as Queen Elizabeth, although she is on-screen for only about eight minutes in four scenes!!!!
ruby dee was amazing in this film and deserved the nomination based on that one scene. from a raisin in the sun to do the right thing, ruby dee has been snubbed for a nomination year after year after year. i am so glad she's finally getting the respect she deserves!
That was a hell of a scene. When she said "I will leave you", that was when I said she will be nominated to an oscar. I almost cried the first time I heard her say that. It was so real. I can't believe this is her fisrt oscar nomination.
Ruby Dee was very deserving but so was Tilda Swinton. They were too completely different performances and really any of the five nominated would have been deserving.

Her appearance in the movie was extremely short; the movie could have benefited from more screen time for her. I am amazed she even managed to get a nomination for such a short-lasting (yet very good) performance.

you should be able to "feel" other wonderful actresses as well. Preferably others who are nominated with her.
