Well, Judy Davis was spectacular in 'Husbands & Wives'. She had many highlights in the film and her character was so well-developed. Joan Plowright was quite good, but her character's arc was kind of limited. Miranda Richardson was pretty amazing. Vanessa Redgrave managed to elevate her character in very short screentime. And Tomei was hilarious and enjoyable. But, come on. She won because she was the only American nominated that year. IMO: Davis>Redgrave>Richardson>Tomei>Plowright
I don't know why Marisa Tomei won. I think all the other actresses had more intense and emotional rols and better played, with more realism. For me the best is Judy Davis.
Davis' performance literally has everything: anger, happiness, humor, satire, terror, frustration, etc. I don't know how she DIDN'T win this one, quite frankly, She elevates an already very good film.
Tomei is every funny but it's such a weird nomination in general, I don't really know what to think of it, all these years still.
This was a very strong category...Davis, so strong and funny...Plowright, so subtle...Redgrave, so haunting...Richardson, utterly heartbreaking...and Tomei, so energetic and hilarious. For me Davis should have won. Judy Davis is one of the greatest working actresses of her generation and the gift that Woody Allen gave her in Sally was played to perfection...Redgrave would have been my second choice simply because she haunts the film long after her character passes away in the first act.
Marisa Tomei deserved this award for a great comic performance its rare to find an actress that can pull off a comic role and dramatic roles Tomei rocks
Tomei is a good actress and she has become better and better over the years, and her performance in My cousin Vinny was a showy performance, but that oscar belonged to Judy Davis, she had been nominated in the past ten years and was
My jaw dropped when Tomei won this Oscar. Her performance is so different in its tone from the other nominees (all, non Americans), that, perhaps, it stood out. To say that she is the funniest thing in "My Cousin Vinney" is not necessarily high praise. I admire Tomei's work in "The Wrestler", "In the Bedroom" and "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead". Any of the other 4 nominees as winner would have been more appropriate, especially Judy Davis.
you must have an obsession over Marisa. I don't think she deserved it for any of her nominations. she's a very charismatic actress, but her Oscar competition has always blown her away
Cruz win was patethic, Marisa was totally robbed. No one else (maybe Amy a little bit) didn`t deserved this prize. In 2002 Connelly won. For what? For that she has broken mirror? I think yes, and this is not fair. Again, no one else (Maggie has already 2 Oscars, Helen will won in the future-), Kate was miserable, i don`t like her perfomance) deserved it like Marisa. And for My Cosuin Vinny... The Academy did the right choice.)
It's funny how watching through this montage, it begins with the first four actresses for their dramatic emotional performances and then it ends with a laugh out loud comedy with Marisa! haha... I loved Marisa in Vinny, she definitely deserved that oscar! By any chance, do you have a clip of her oscar win at the Academy awards in 93?
Vanessa all the way. She has the most investment in her character and the shortest amount of screentime.... Judy is a bit much for my liking....Joan is warm but the movie and character arc is ....a little thin. Marisa is fun but c'mon a talented eighth grader could pull that off. Miranda is solid particularly in the beginning of DAMAGE when she lays the foundation of this woman (her love for Irons and her family, her suspicion of Binoche)
@merwhitlange U are missing the "ACTING" All the other actresses have lived through heartache and can portray depth and agony.. It is SO much HARDER to do comedy. If you have seen Marisa Tomei she is a classy lady acting like a bimbo. Her body language, facial and head movements her delivery of lines THAT were written by someone else, were all poetry and that is why she won.
I believe Judy will win the Stinky Lulu Smackdown , but my personal pick for who should have won the Oscar was Joan Plowright. She showed so much in her eyes and body language that words were not always needed.
Really? You hope Marisa wins?...I hope Judy wins, she was very funny... When do we find out who the winners are, 17 years is a long time to have to wait!
You hope she wins? She did win. This was for the 1992 Oscars. Well, the ceremony was held in 1993, but they were for the films released in 1992. At any rate, Marisa won, deservedly so.

Vanessa Redgrave is a gloriously talented actress, but she was barely in "Howards End," and Marisa OWNED "My Cousin Vinny."

I think Vanessa deserved her Oscar for Julia, & she should won for The Bostonians over Sally Field.
And Marisa deserved for My Cousin Vinny, also she should won for In the Bedroom & finally for The Wrestler.
