Regarded as one of the greatest actresses in Hollywood history, she was noted for her willingness to play unsympathetic, sardonic characters and was reputed for her performances ...read more. Most perfect casting ever, without a doubt😍
Next to Aliens, this was Sigourney Weaver's best movie.
She should have won an Oscar for this movie!
Judy Garland, born Frances Ethel Gumm (June 10, 1922 – June 22, 1969) was an American singer, actress, and vaudevillian. The American Film Institute named her 8th greatest female star of classic American cinema. She's also the mother of actress and singer Liza Minnelli.
Amazing performance.
The scene with Haley Joel Osment in the car alone is enough for an Oscar win!
Amazing actress in everything she does!
Yes. Sigi was amazing in "Gorillas in the Mist" but Aliens is special one! In 1986 She was really the best
Sigourney Weaver at her best!
Really against your for her and she sort of switched the comedic role with Jim Carrey who is actually great as the "straigh guy" for a change in his stereotyped roles.
The Contenders
Julianne Moore is an American actress, prolific in films since the early 1990s. She is particularly known for her portrayals of emotionally troubled women in both independent and Hollywood films, and has received many accolades, including the Academy Award for Best Actress.
Perfect performance. Jessica Lange's performance was good but the movie was horrible. Oscar is never ready to give Jodie or Meryl their 3rd oscar. Jodie was robbed.
While Julia Roberts was clearly excellent and memorable in Erin Brockovich, I feel the performance is a bit overrated, especially when compared to Ellen Burstyn in Requiem for a Dream. Roberts is convincing as the sharp-tongued environmental activist, but as the plucky can-do yet vulnerable woman, it's both a role we've seen before and a role we've seen Roberts play before. On the contrary, Burstyn gave a mesmerizing performance as Sara Goldfarb, an aging woman desperate for the attention of her narcotics-dealing son and searching for a sense of purpose in her life since the death of her husband. Sara's life seems to take a turn for the better when she is invited to appear on her favorite television program, but first she must suppress her food addiction in order to fit in her husband's favorite red dress. As the movie progresses, we see Sara essentially lose her mind from diet pills as her refrigerator comes to life and people from the T.V. appear in her apartment to taunt her. ...more
Breathtakingly amazing. brought jo march to life
Helen Hunt was good but Kate Winslet was phenomenal
She did win can oscar for her screenplay if that's a consolation.
Amy Adams was standing out in this movie, so I'm glad that the overrated actress didn't win.
Honestly, This was in her "Top 3 Performances, " Well Done, Meryl Streep!
