Does Al Pacino deserve an Oscar? Of course. But for 'Scent of a Woman'?
In 1983, Jessica Lange was nominated for two acting Oscars, lead actress forand supporting actress for “Tootsie.” She won the latter. Good news for “Tootsie,” which would have otherwise left empty-handed despite having 10 nominations, including for best picture. Not great for “Frances” — its only other nominee was Kim Stanley for supporting actress. While Lange was certainly delightful in “Tootsie,” her biopic performance as the tragic Frances Farmer was, and remains, breathtaking.
Yet in 1992 he was competing against ... Al Pacino in “Scent of a Woman.” Who, as mentioned above, should have had an Oscar or two already. It’s another multiverse of Oscars might-have-beens. —Renée Zellweger has two Oscars — for supporting actress in “Cold Mountain” and for lead actress in “Judy,” parts that played to the academy’s chronic devotion to showbiz biopics and literary period pieces.
Tracy Flick isn’t just one of the most memorable characters to emerge in an American movie over the last 30 years; her name is a fixture of the pop-cultural lexicon and her legacy — conniving villain or misunderstood heroine? — still generates debate across the cultural-political spectrum.
I’ve got no problem with “Crazy Heart.” The Oscar that Jeff Bridges won for playing a grizzled country singer really tied his career together. But The Dude abides. And Bridges should have won the Oscar for the role that defined him and gave birth to a religion. You know who won the lead actor Oscar the year of our Lord, the year of? Roberto Benigni. Over the line! Mark it zero. This aggression should not stand. But it’s the Oscars, so there’s a lotta ins, a lotta outs, a lotta what-have-yous.
