Oscar Results since 1985 - And my thoughts of who should have won...
- 1985 Geraldine Page – The Trip to Bountiful as Carrie Watts
- Anne Bancroft – Agnes of God as Mother Miriam Ruth
- Whoopi Goldberg – The Color Purple as Celie Harris
- Jessica Lange – Sweet Dreams as Patsy Cline
- Meryl Streep – Out of Africa as Karen Blixen
- This is a hard one between Goldberg and Bancroft - But I'd give the smallest win to Goldberg
- 1986 Marlee Matlin – Children of a Lesser God as Sarah Norman
- Jane Fonda – The Morning After as Alex Sternbergen
- Sissy Spacek – Crimes of the Heart as Rebecca 'Babe' / 'Becky' Magrath Botrelle
- Kathleen Turner – Peggy Sue Got Married as Peggy Sue Bodell
- Sigourney Weaver – Aliens as Ellen Ripley
- They got this one right!
- 1987 Cher – Moonstruck as Loretta Castorini
- Glenn Close – Fatal Attraction as Alex Forrest
- Holly Hunter – Broadcast News as Jane Craig
- Sally Kirkland – Anna as Anna
- Meryl Streep – Ironweed as Helen Archer
- Haven't seen them all but I think this was probably a weak year. Moonstruck was a good movie but not really Oscar worthy, IMO
- 1988 Jodie Foster – The Accused as Sarah Tobias
- Glenn Close – Dangerous Liaisons as Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil
- Melanie Griffith – Working Girl as Tess McGill
- Meryl Streep – A Cry in the Dark as Lindy Chamberlain
- Sigourney Weaver – Gorillas in the Mist as Dian Fossey
- Again, a toss up between Foster and Streep, But I'd give the slight win to Foster
- 1989 Jessica Tandy – Driving Miss Daisy as Daisy Werthan
- Isabelle Adjani – Camille Claudel as Camille Claudel
- Pauline Collins – Shirley Valentine as Shirley Valentine-Bradshaw
- Jessica Lange – Music Box as Ann Talbot
- Michelle Pfeiffer – The Fabulous Baker Boys as Susie Diamond
- Only saw Tandys preformace, never even heard of 3 of these movies. so no opinion
[edit]1990s
- 1990 Kathy Bates – Misery as Annie Wilkes
- Anjelica Huston – The Grifters as Lilly Dillon
- Julia Roberts – Pretty Woman as Vivian Ward
- Meryl Streep – Postcards from the Edge as Suzanne Vale
- Joanne Woodward – Mr. and Mrs. Bridge as India Bridge
- They got it right!
- 1991 Jodie Foster – The Silence of the Lambs as Clarice Starling
- Geena Davis – Thelma & Louise as Thelma Dickinson
- Laura Dern – Rambling Rose as Rose
- Bette Midler – For the Boys as Dixie Leonard
- Susan Sarandon – Thelma & Louise as Louise Sawyer
- They got it right!
- 1992 Emma Thompson – Howards End as Margaret Schlegel
- Catherine Deneuve – Indochine as Eliane
- Mary McDonnell – Passion Fish as May-Alice Culhane
- Michelle Pfeiffer – Love Field as Lurene Hallett
- Susan Sarandon – Lorenzo's Oil as Michaela Odone
- Ive only seen parts of Howards End, but Lorenzo's Oil was soo emotional, id give it to Sarandon, but side not, Ive never heard of the other 3 films.
- 1993 Holly Hunter – The Piano as Ada McGrath
- Angela Bassett – What's Love Got to Do with It as Tina Turner
- Stockard Channing – Six Degrees of Separation as Ouisa Kittredge
- Emma Thompson – The Remains of the Day as Mary Kenton
- Debra Winger – Shadowlands as Joy Gresham
- Again, not farmiliar with these so I cannot give a correct opinion.
- 1994 Jessica Lange – Blue Sky as Carly Marshall
- Jodie Foster – Nell as Nell Kellty
- Miranda Richardson – Tom & Viv as Vivienne Haigh-Wood
- Winona Ryder – Little Women as Jo March
- Susan Sarandon – The Client as Reggie Love
- Weak year for sure. I would go with Ryder for this tho - Lange's win puzzles me.
- 1995 Susan Sarandon – Dead Man Walking as Helen Prejean
- Elisabeth Shue – Leaving Las Vegas as Sera
- Sharon Stone – Casino as Ginger McKenna
- Meryl Streep – The Bridges of Madison County as Francesca Johnson
- Emma Thompson – Sense and Sensibility as Elinor Dashwood
- SOOOO tought between Sarandon and Streep...wow, Honestly it could go either way, but i have to go with Streep. Bridges was a wonderful film and the ending when she was going through his things, heartbreaking!
- 1996 Frances McDormand – Fargo as Marge Olmstead-Gunderson
- Brenda Blethyn – Secrets & Lies as Cynthia Rose Purley
- Diane Keaton – Marvin's Room as Bessie
- Kristin Scott Thomas – The English Patient as Katharine Clifton
- Emily Watson – Breaking the Waves as Bess McNeill
- Alot to say with this catagory..First, Id pit Madonna against Blethyn for the win. Sadly she wasnt nominated coz they pretty much hate her, so Blethyn should have won easily. Fargo was a horrible movie, just horrible! McDormand wasnt bad, but def not worthy of the Oscar. And Breaking the Waves was a WTF kinda movie. OY.
- 1997 Helen Hunt – As Good as It Gets as Carol Connelly
- Helena Bonham Carter – The Wings of the Dove as Kate Croy
- Julie Christie – Afterglow as Phyllis Mann
- Judi Dench – Mrs. Brown as Queen Victoria
- Kate Winslet – Titanic as Rose DeWitt Bukater
- Do not get the As Good As It Gets Love. Again, an ok move with ok performances but again puzzled by the wins. But in a weak field, I get why she won. Id probably give it to Carter.
- 1998 Gwyneth Paltrow – Shakespeare in Love as Viola De Lesseps/Thomas Kent
- Cate Blanchett – Elizabeth as Elizabeth I
- Fernanda Montenegro – Central Station as Dora
- Meryl Streep – One True Thing as Kate Gulden
- Emily Watson – Hilary and Jackie as Jacqueline du Pré
- Streep is the weak one here- didnt see Montengros film...and the 3 ladies left to duke it out, But Blanchett should have won, no doubt about it, should have won best picture as well...
- 1999 Hilary Swank – Boys Don't Cry as Brandon Teena
- Annette Bening – American Beauty as Carolyn Burnham
- Janet McTeer – Tumbleweeds as Mary Jo Walker
- Julianne Moore – The End of the Affair as Sarah Miles
- Meryl Streep – Music of the Heart as Roberta Guaspari
- Easy win for Swank, no doubt - Benning a distant 2nd
[edit2000s
- 2000 Julia Roberts – Erin Brockovich as Erin Brockovich
- Joan Allen – The Contender as Sen. Laine Hanson
- Juliette Binoche – Chocolat as Vianne Rocher
- Ellen Burstyn – Requiem for a Dream as Sara Goldfarb
- Laura Linney – You Can Count on Me as Sammy Prescott
- A "we love you Julia" award - Burstyn should have won in this very disturbing film
- 2001 Halle Berry – Monster's Ball as Leticia Musgrove
- Judi Dench – Iris as Iris Murdoch
- Nicole Kidman – Moulin Rouge! as Satine
- Sissy Spacek – In the Bedroom as Ruth Fowler
- Renée Zellweger – Bridget Jones's Diary as Bridget Jones
- Save for Zellweger, Its a tough category - Id give it to Kidman tho
- 2002 Nicole Kidman – The Hours as Virginia Woolf
- Salma Hayek – Frida as Frida Kahlo
- Diane Lane – Unfaithful as Connie Sumner
- Julianne Moore – Far from Heaven as Cathy Whitaker
- Renée Zellweger – Chicago as Roxie Hart
- Far from Heaven was WAY over rated - Between Kidman and Zellweger, Id give it to Zellweger...Kidman, IMO, should have been in supporting. I think they pushed for her in lead and Moore and Streep in supporting, but i think i heard Streep had ballot probs and wasnt considered. IMO, Streep should have been nominated in Lead and should have WON.
- 2003 Charlize Theron – Monster as Aileen Wuornos
- Keisha Castle-Hughes – Whale Rider as Paikea Apirana
- Diane Keaton – Something's Gotta Give as Erika Berry
- Samantha Morton – In America as Sarah
- Naomi Watts – 21 Grams as Cristina Peck
- They got it right.
- 2004 Hilary Swank – Million Dollar Baby as Maggie Fitzgerald
- Annette Bening – Being Julia as Julia Lambert
- Catalina Sandino Moreno – Maria Full of Grace as María Álvarez
- Imelda Staunton – Vera Drake as Vera Drake
- Kate Winslet – Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind as Clementine Kruczynski
- They got it right.
- 2005 Reese Witherspoon – Walk the Line as June Carter Cash
- Judi Dench – Mrs Henderson Presents as Laura Henderson
- Felicity Huffman – Transamerica as Bree
- Keira Knightley – Pride & Prejudice as Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Bennet
- Charlize Theron – North Country as Josey Aimes
- I SOOOO do not get this. First off, this is a supporting role and it was very, well, blah and ordinary. Huffman should have won this easily. the only competition should have been with Knightley. Sooo dont get this.
- 2006 Helen Mirren – The Queen as Queen Elizabeth II
- Penélope Cruz – Volver as Raimunda
- Judi Dench – Notes on a Scandal as Barbara Covett
- Meryl Streep – The Devil Wears Prada as Miranda Priestly
- Kate Winslet – Little Children as Sarah Pierce
- I actually think Dench should have won. yes, Mirren was fantastic, but Dench had the juice and tension and the "it" in this movie. Mirren was a close 2nd to me, but should have been Denchs' Oscar. HOWEVER, Sigourney Weaver for a film called Snow Cake....heartbreaking! should have won and wasnt even nominated, This is a must see movie and Alan Rickman should have been nominated as well, this is really Weavers Oscar.
- 2007 Marion Cotillard – La Vie en Rose as Édith Piaf
- Cate Blanchett – Elizabeth: The Golden Age as Queen Elizabeth I
- Julie Christie – Away from Her as Fiona Anderson
- Laura Linney – The Savages as Wendy Savage
- Ellen Page – Juno as Juno MacGuff
- SOOOOOO CORRECT. The best decision they made. In the Top 5 performances EVER!
- 2008 Kate Winslet – The Reader as Hanna Schmitz
- Anne Hathaway – Rachel Getting Married as Kym Buchman
- Angelina Jolie – Changeling as Christine Collins
- Melissa Leo – Frozen River as Ray Eddy
- Meryl Streep – Doubt as Sister Aloysius Beauvier
- First off, Winslet should have been in supporting, this is Fiennes movie and her part, was def supporting. Just because shes a 'big name' that doesnt me you automatically get in the lead category - No doubt this should have been Streeps Oscar. Fantastic film and One of Streeps best ever. A shame she was robbed coz of category and 'Kate really needs an Oscar'
- 2009 Sandra Bullock – The Blind Side as Leigh Anne Tuohy
- Helen Mirren – The Last Station as Sofya Tolstoy
- Carey Mulligan – An Education as Jenny Miller
- Gabourey Sidibe – Precious as Claireece "Precious" Jones
- Meryl Streep – Julie & Julia as Julia Child
- i actually havent seen any of these so I cannot have a true comment - but i think Bullock won for the 'feel good' story, not to mention who doesnt love Sandra in real life, so, but again, thats just an opinion, havent seen them yet.
2010s
- 2010 – to be awarded February 27, 2011
- Annette Bening – The Kids Are All Right as Nic
- Nicole Kidman – Rabbit Hole as Becca Corbett
- Jennifer Lawrence – Winter's Bone as Ree Dolly
- Natalie Portman – Black Swan as Nina Sayers
- Michelle Williams – Blue Valentine as Cindy
- Havent seen them (only Winters Bone), only clips so my opinion isnt a true on...i have bad feelings towards Bennings film I wouldnt go through again...but to me it should be between Kidman and Portman
