It amazing that Marisa Tomei was fired from "A Different World" after the first season & now she an Oscar Winner and was nominated two more times. Not bad for a girl that was let go from a T.V. gig. I hope to see her get more nominations in the future.
Sometimes I think it actually takes more skill to give a good comedic performance than a good dramatic performance. It's a shame so many of the good comedic ones go unrecognized by so many award shows...
Um...wrong choice. Seriously, she was the by far the weakest in that category. And what a coincidence that she was the only American amongst 3 Brits and an Aussie....hmmm....I smell
@thehorror24 Yes, I think it is AnthonyPerkins doing his Norman Bates thing in "Psycho". In all seriousness, this was a baffling choice, all of the other 4 actresses, especially JudyDavis deserved this over Tomei. However, she (Tomei) was wonderful about ten years later in the SissySpaceck/Tom Wilkinson starring film: "In the Bedroom",when she should have won in 2002.
Probably the easiest woman in the world to fall in love with & how could you not love the accent she does in the movie? I agree rosie perez was also good in white men cant jump
marisa is one of a kind , so sweet , beautiful and talented . unlike many in hollywood that are full of them selves. i love seeing her on the big screen and would love to date her
Marisa is the true definition of a supporting actress. She was funny, memorable, and stole all the scenes she was in. If it were a dramatic performance, with plenty of crying and screaming scenes (which the other nominees were), people would take her winning seriously. But because it's comedic, they automatically think it's trash or unworthy. Also, because she was merely a "sitcom actress" at that point and the others were more "established," people don't take her seriously.
I'm so sick & tired of people who bash actors/actresses who win for a comedic performance!Comedy is not as easy as it seems.It requires a lot of skill and subtility things that Marisa definitely showed in her performance.She's definitely a very worthy winner.
So....not only did Marisa Tomei win (the biggest upset in HISTORY), but she beat out Vanessa Redgrave, Judy Davis, Miranda Richardson and Joan Plowright????? Um...yeah...ok then.
Marisa was AMAZING in this film, and truly deserved this Oscar. But I also felt that Rosie Perez should have been up, and possibly won for "White Men Can't Jump." She, like Marisa, had a really brash and hilarious comedic role that really "stole" that film.
I did not see "My Cousin Vinny" until well after the awards. I had heard of her performance and I must agree that the award was well deserved. Good her her!
Marisa Tomei, to me, is one of the few actresses who is awesome in everything they do. She's a fantastic actress and let the nominations/wins keep coming.
SHE DIDNT DESERVE THAT AWARD: ROSIE PEREZ WAS MUCH BETTER IN "WHITE MEN CANT JUMP",ALSO EARTHA KITT,AND GRACE JONES WERE SCENE STEALERS IN "BOOMERANG"
How did the only bad thing about My Cousin Vinny win best supporting actress? Here voice is more annoying than Fran Drescher and the movie would have been flawless if not for her character.
@stigler30 Well, you're entitled to your opinion, but I believe without her, the movie wouldn't have been nearly as good. She had wonderful chemistry with Peschi, she had some great dialogue with him (especially the deer hunting story), and she frikkin' killed that scene when she was a witness. The accent didn't bother me at all, but your point is fair enough. I can see why it would be annoying to some people.
jajajaja 2:21 thats mister joe pesci??? i though this man was a homeless gatecrasher in show. im only kidding..;-) but he is unrecognizable :-0 i like a lot his roles in martin scorsese,s movies as tough and violent guy!!
For all the very unfair attention that's undermined the academy's recognition of Tomei it may have been simply better had she received it for In The Bedroom: had she won for that film, in which she almost embodies the bruise of Natalie in a delicately stunning performance all naysayers would have been silenced. Tomei may be light in person but she's a damn fine actor.
she has two prime looks: her unusual hot look in my cousin vinnie (she almost looked like someone else) and her usual looks during the late 90's. she got hotter as she grew older( excluding her look in Vinnie) but now she's past her peak (2003ish I think). although she looks great in before the devil and War inc. she's still very attractive. regarding the oscar, haha, I think is not a bad thing that she won. it's fair.
@livelaughlovek21 she is really from ny and she really does have a ny accent, but like most famous people they try and lose there ny accent for fear of sounding trashy...
I LOVE that she won while up against the cream of the crop in acting. Her role was just so wonderful and lovely that they had to give it to her! For me, she made the movie.
Marisa is the most beautiful and talented actress in Hollywood still to this day. I just want to see her shine as top biller in just one awesome movie, please! She is relentlessly beautiful. God, I love her.
Marisa receiving the Oscar was not widely appreciated and accepted at the time or even for several years afterwards. Perhaps it was because MT is such a pretty lady or because she did not leave much of a legacy in the 1990's. Fortunately, there were some in Hollywood who recognized that she is indeed one of the truly gifted actresses of her era. This award looks like a very smart choice today.
@industrialsun You got that right. I have NEVER even heard of the movies that the other women were in. I damn well never see any of their movies on vhs/dvd at the video store. But i always see "My Cousin Vinny" in the comedy section. I just saw it a week ago. I give it a "10". MT earned that Oscar for the part she played. I especially liked all the scenes in which she was wearing a nightie. i wish i would've seen this movie back in '92.
Uh, how can you say that MT earned the BEST supporting award when you haven't even seen the other four movies? A "10"? Watch the other four, then watch your "10" dwindle to a zero.
She really had no competition this year.
