Definitely Glenn Close for Fatal Attraction, but Whoopi Goldberg for Colour Purple should be on that list!

It's still kind of weird to think that Greta Garbo never won an oscar for any of her performances.

1998 Fernanda Montenegro deserved (impressive
performance in Central Station)! The greatest injustice she did not win.

Actresses who deserved to win:
Cate Blanchett - Elizabeth.
Glenn Close - Fatal Attraction.
Ellen Burstyn - Requiem For A Dream.
Judi Dench - Mrs. Brown.
Emmanuelle Riva - Amour.
Felicity Huffman - Transamerica.
Ellen Burstyn - The Exorcist.
Glenn Close - Dangerous Liaisons.
Nicole Kidman - Moulin Rouge.
Carey Mulligan - An Education.

The creator of the video seems like a big fan of Bette Davis.

Glad that you've put Felicity Huffman for Transamerica in the list. She totally deserved the oscar for her performance that year. She was just mind blowing. Agree with Anne Bancroft's The Graduate and The Pumpkin Eater performance not other two. Hilary Swank should've been for Boys don't cry not for Million dollar baby. Thumbs up for Isabelle adjani and Charlotte Gainsbourg they're amazingly talented actresses. But Naomi Watts should've been in the list too.

1986 Sigourney Weaver for Aliens

To this day, it still bugs me that Cher won the Oscar over Glen Close. Still to this day!

YES!!! For Glenn Close...................She was robbed!!!

9:43 YES!!!

NO EMMA THOMPSON!!! AND NO JODIE FOSTER FOR THE SILENCE  OF THE LAMBS!!!  but i like the conseutive wins for glenn close that should have happened.

Glenn Close deserved that Oscar at least two times out of her four nominations.

Perfeito!!! 5 Oscars para Bette Davis 😍

Your picks illumine your EXCELLENT knowledge of actress film portrayals!!!!

Glenn Close 😢

Gena Rowlands, for A Woman Under the Influence! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Barbra Streisand deserved the Oscar for both 1968 funny girl and 1973 the way we were

Bette Davis absolutely should've got for Baby Jane!!! But Diana Ross should've won in 1972 for Lady Sings The Blues and Fernanda Montenegro in 1998 for Central Station! And please don't take Katharine Hepburn's oscar for On Golden Pond, it was brilliant!

Paxy, I am loving your viewpoint in this and in your other videos.  I loved your choices so much that it was frustrating listening to "In Memoriam" Oscar music over the most of actresses' lines.
