Eric, Meet Me in st. Louis is not an original screenplay. It was nominated for "screenplay" which is how adaptations were categorized at the time, but was replaced. Please make another selection.

I forgot about Hershey and Maura. I'd place Hershey ahead of most of the also-rans and Maura about even with Pheiffer.

My order (top 12):

Foster, Close, Streep, Weaver, Griffith, MacLaine, Lahti, Hershey, Sarandon, Rowlands, Pfeiffer, Maura.

Hustler, "Meet Me in St. Louis, Louis" which was composed by Kerry Mills and Andrew Sterling in 1903 in eligible. It is the only song from the film that was not written expressly for it. Ok, in that case, I´m choosing "Skip to My Lou" frome the same movie. Music by Ralph Blane L...

I would knock off Melanie Griffith (Working Girl) and add Gena Rowlands to the list. Melanie Griffith is easily the week link of the line-up. However Shirley McLaine (Madame Sousatzka), Michelle Pfeiffer (Married to the Mob) and Susan Sarandon (Bull Durham) also flirt with my top5, possibly leaving...

The tallies have been posted in the results thread for the first two years.

This is a shock.

Sabin, you get a muic pick in Category 2 as well.

"Too Much in Love" was repalced by the title song from Going My Way.

Incidentally, one film that no one has as yet named in any category is In Old Chicago. In Old Chicago is unique in the history of the Academy Awards as the only film to have been nominated for Oscars in the year before its release. That's because the eligibiity period for 1937 Oscar consideration e...

Reminder, from now on we have two picks in group 2, one of which is in music.

I'm all for anything that increases the number of mentions, but what makes this different from the last year we did?
