William Hurt looked SO good back then.

The moment when he announces her name, the sign he does afterward and her subsequent reaction are really sweet.

Please. Sigourney was the best that year. Her performance was a tour de force of emotions. She should have won.

Although I really like Marlee, I didnt see that movie, so I dont know how good or not she was in it. I agree that out of the choices, *I* would have picked Sigourney, because she REALLY did do a great job(1st film too!). I'm sure I'll thumbed down for this, but we know the reason Marlee won was most likely because she is deaf. Hollywood is so PC, and it makes them feel good about themselves to do things like this.
