As a US Army vet from 65-68 I believe and history demonstrates that Fonda was right! 58,000 were butchered and hundreds of thousands of US lives ruined for a parcel of lies and we had no business whatsoever to have been there. We likewise have no business in Iraq or the Ghan. More lies and more corrupt politics. Today we have mercenaries like Blackwater so there will be no draft. Ther e has been two wars and no tax to pay for them. Borrow from China. Jane had it right back then.

Jane Fonda a no talent POS who only became famous because of her father legendary actor Henry Fonda. She only won those two Oscars out of Hollywood Political Correctness . One during Vietnam , and one about Vietnam. Hanoi Jane you may shine in the media but you are truly reviled by the veterans and a great majority people of this Country for your treasonous behavior. You are a truly vile dispicable human being and may you Rot in Hell for all eternity !
shush your mouth. jane fonda is quite easily one of the greatest american actresses of all time, in fact she'd probably be considered *the* greatest had she not stopped acting...

Page could act rings around the other 4, and should have won for Interiors. She was hauntingly amazing, and any aspiring actor that wants to see how it should be done, need do no more than to watch her in that role. It was the best performance of her career, and she should have won an Oscar.
@muscled57 AGREE! AGREE! AGREE! But, Ingrid was better than her that year. But Yes Geraldine was the best Actrtess out of all the nominees. But that says a lot because all of them could act their -- excuse my language---asses off.
This is a film ABOUT vets and vietnam. Yeah what a traitor, making a film about the men that dog her for lies she never commited. Those dudes make me sick. It's very hard to have a modicum of sympathy for them, they are so hardheaded and stuck in their ways.

@usspharris It was given to her by a bunch of ignorant morons. It refers to her infamous trip to Hanoi where some say some soldiers were killed because of her and such.
I love Jane Fonda and I love Coming Home in general but this award was Ingrid Bergman's. Too bad they foolishly wasted that 3rd win on her a few years before, it would've been so richly deserved here.
Damn that was Clayburgh's... she was amazing in An Unmarried Woman. I loved Geraldine Pages performance in Interiors also but it was incredibly short and more appropriate to be in the supporting category.
I loved Jane Fonda in this film. It was such a heartfelt movie and employed actual veterans. Jon and Jane had me in tears. A wonderful love story. I've watched it many times and it still makes me think about the handicapped and their troubles after the war.
Does anybody know how the vietnam vets felt about the movie Coming Home? I've never seen it all the way through, but it looks like a good movie. Nevertheless, that doesn't necessarily mean that the vets liked it. Did they feel like they could relate to it and that it was realistic?
@myfilmblog I guess they didn't. Otherwise they wouldn't say it. I totally agree with you. Jane is my favorite actress but Ingrid in Autumn Sonata... OMG. I think people who don't pick Ingrid (having seen her) have serious problems. :)
She deserved it the first time, and she deserved it the second time. Her performance in Coming Home is a rich exploration of a senstive time in our history,but the project came straight from her heart. She made the movie as means to show Vietnam vets that she was there for them and that even if there was some tension about what she did in that time, the compassion she felt she brought to her character and made a timeless impression. I wish they would show this movie more, because it is relevant.
Jane Fonda is my favorite actress and I would give her tons of Oscars but not this one because Ingrid Bergman gave her best performance (and one of the TOP 5 performances of all time). I think Jane should have won for They, Shoot Horses..., On Golden Pon and she deserved her first Oscar. Still, she's the greatest. :)
