The Top Ten

1 Jennifer Lawrence - The Hunger Games
2 Helena Bonham Carter - Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
3 Madonna - Evita

She wouldn't have won it, but she DESERVED a nomination for this role. This was a big event movie for the year and one of the top female characters on screen for 1996. Madonna departed from her usual and gave a performance to remember.

At the time the film was made, I don't think anyone available could have turned in a better performance. Madonna may have a lot in common with ever Peron, but she was certainly acting -and acting well. Excluding her from the list was sheer spite. She earned the nomination.

Well, Madonna isn't brilliant actress but in this film she was wonderfully Brilliant. It was Oscar level definitely - Alexandr

Her lack of a nomination will be remembered as a travesty on the part of the Academy.

4 Winona Ryder - Edward Scissorhands
5 Angelina Jolie - Maleficent
6 Neve Campbell - Scream
7 Kristen Stewart - Still Alice
8 Emma Stone - Easy A
9 Marilyn Monroe - Some Like It Hot

And Niagara, Gentlemen prefer Blondes, The Misfits, How to marry a Millionaire, Asphalt Jungle, River of no Return and maybe even Clash by Night and Bus Stop - all great performances. Certainly should have one, at least, one Oscar. - punksnotdead

Best supporting for sure. Punishing her bad behaviour on set by withholding a nomination was not only cruel but nasty.

That movie was hilarious

10 Sharon Stone - Basic Instinct

Can't believe her performances didn't make the cut in the least memorable year in the 90's

Such an underrated movie and Actress, I can't believe she only has 1 oscar nod

Yes did deserve an Oscar nomination

It was more of a teen movie, and not something that would usually get nominated, and that's why she didn't, even though she deserved to be at least nominated. - ilovekelly75

She should be nominate for oscar for this film, because the way she played the role of Jamie Sullivan. It's unforgetable

13 Sandra Bullock - In Love and War

This movie is just great.

14 Sigourney Weaver - The Ice Storm
15 Monica Bellucci - Malena

Monica deserves Oscar for her performance in this movie.. Chanceless.

Bold & beatuifull in real sence. Mind blowing... She rocks

16 Demi Moore - Ghost

Demi Moore has gone in bad movies but Ghost is just awesome not only for the great performance of Whoopi Goldberg and her chemistry with Swayze but also Moore was everything: she cried, laugh and made us feel the way she did she deserved much more than what she got

As to why her peers cannot see how great an actress Demi is, is simply beyond comprehension. Demi Moore is a really awesome actress.

! Yes she was overlooked because of the awesome Whoopi Goldberg but she made me cry (

Dumb on the part of the academy, just dumb.
