JESSICA LANGE vs. TOM O'NEIL (podcast)

[Souler]

I always thought Lange was supporting in Tootsie. It was Dustin Hoffman's story. Neal, Shire and Stone were all supporting as well, at least for me. The latter two would have won the Oscar had they been placed in that category.

Agreed. Never understood why this causes so much controversy. It's the common biggest female role that is still not that big and sometimes gets put in lead but most of the time in supporting deal.

It doesn't matter what category you want to put Lange in for Tootsie. She didn't deserve to win, but then again neither did Garr. Lesley Ann Warren should have won for Victor/Victoria.

It sucks that Lange's work in Frances had to compete with Sophie's Choice, but I also think that Julie Andrews should have won over both of them!

Oh, and I love that she won it against "Dusty", too.

New York film critics voted for her to win best actress for tootsie first but she lost to Streep and then she won supporting. Then at the nsfc she lost best actress for tootsie and Frances and then won supporting for tootsie.

According to the IMDB, she was runner up in best actress for "Frances" and won supporting for "Tootise" from NYFFC.

And NSFC gave her supporting win for "Tootsie" and she was runner up for best actress for BOTH "Frances" and "Tootise". In hindsight, did they vote for best actress before supporting actress as I am sure they would like to award her for something for such a great year?

Isn't this like the third time you used this gif in this very thread (which is only two pages long)?

Also, guany...I LOVE JULIE ANDREWS and place her above Streep (but not Lange).

[Fassbinder]

Both Lange and Streep were amazing. 1982 was probably the best year ever. dont forget Spacek for Missing. She was great too.

[LangeFanForever]

Either way -

Agreed. Honestly, can anyone argue that the main female role of the film wasn't Dorothy MIchaels?

[LangeFanForever]

Aw. Tom got angry elsewhere's, lol...

EDIT: I expected some acknowledgement for this one, lol. Seems like I'm turning more and more into Sister Mary Eunice as the days go on... Nah, I'll always be Jude Martin at heart and I wouldn't have it any other way.

[Thomas]

It is a sad state the world is in that anybody has to speak to Tom O'Neil.

[LangeFanForever]

Eh, c'est la vie. Also, American Horror Story: Asylum makes AFI's and the Huffington Post's Best/Top TV of 2012 lists. ~sigh~ It's wonderful when things begin to slowly pay off...

For shits and giggles... Love me some suited up Streep, slinky Lange and drunk Pacino. Check it, bitches.
