Best Supporting Actress 1969

this is a montage I've uploaded back in November for Stinkylulu's supporting actress Smackdown. The year for that month was of course 1969.

The 5 nominees for Best Supporting Actress were:

Catherine Burns for Last Summer
Dyan Cannon for Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice
Goldie Hawn for Cactus Flower
Sylvia Miles for Midnight Cowboy
Susannah York for They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

well, one can't choose a winner just based on this montage :) though dead on, Miles's performance is kind of too brief. 4 minutes don't feel enough for a win :D

to me, this should've easily been Catherine Burns's Oscar.

this was a difficult year

any of the 5 could've won

I would have picked Sylvia Miles - loved her in Midnight Cowboy, with Cathy Burns a close second

This is a really tough year where you have 5 nominees who all excelled in their roles. I always thought I would give it to Susannah York (RIP), but I would never begrudge Goldie Hawn as she has had the best career of the five and has a quirky presence. Miles was definitely worthy of her nomination. I wouldn't give it to Cannon for that role, but she really excelled in it and was subtle too. After this clip I really want to see Burns - she probably had the most dramatic part.

One of the few years I actually enjoyed every single performance in the Supporting Actress lineup. Usually there's a turkey or two (or three) but every single one nominated this year had their particular merit.

who ever made this video is a god and I wish they would make more for other years!!

Miles was in Midnight Cowboy for a VERY brief 5 minutes! Who came up with the idea of nominating her?? Must have been the same clown who thought Cannon shouldnt have been in the Best Actress category.

@ninethreefivesix AGREED!!!

Burns should have won. All the way, man.

This is one year I think they got it right - Goldie stole that movie right out from under Ingrid Bergman's nose - and it was her first film! She was dead-on in Cactus Flower, just a perfect performance.

Sylvia Miles lost because there was a blizzard in New York that year and the votes by mail didn't get counted. She herself maintains this (lol!) and so do I. Hands down, for me the winner.
