While it would be thrilling to receive one, it does kind of seem like a consolation prize.<br /><br />You know, you make a good point about the validity of the whole Oscar business if someone like Barbara Stanwyck doesn't win an Oscar. Like you said, she is FAB-U-LOUS in every role, but sometimes there are a lot of extenuating circumstances that override a performance.<br /><br />Wonderful post and excellent arguments. Barbara Stanwyck was indeed ripped off.Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556823686640172503.post-81267816459353465812016-02-27T15:51:52.906-08:002016-02-27T15:51:52.906-08:00Ingrid Bergman (Gaslight) and Barbara Stanwyck (Do...Ingrid Bergman (Gaslight) and Barbara Stanwyck (Double Indemnity) in the same contest? Well, no wonder she didn't win. But it was a damn close race I bet. The ballot counts are secret, but I bet she only beat out Barbara by a few votes.Quiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12434473473185065992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556823686640172503.post-653810718676550932016-02-27T15:51:42.244-08:002016-02-27T15:51:42.244-08:00Ingrid Bergman (Gaslight) and Barbara Stanwyck (Do...Ingrid Bergman (Gaslight) and Barbara Stanwyck (Double Indemnity) in the same contest?

I agree totally that she should have won for both Stella Dallas and Double Indemnity...I would quibble with you a bit about 1941...Stanwyck's was indeed a better performance than Joan Fontaine's, but my winner would have been Bette Davis as Regina Giddens, one of her three top performances, in my opinion.<br />Sooo glad they gave Barbara that honorary Oscar. She was an absolutely magnificent actor, she elevates everything in which she ever appeared. Even enjoyed Big Valley and The Colbys and Thorn Birds, mostly because of her skill and star power.<br />Thanks again for this great post...look forward to checking it your blog further.<br />-Chrisangelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.com
