Well, no...Brooke Bundy plays the key "Mother" role in Elm Street 3, though Nan Martin appears in another key Mother role in the film, but neither are Oscar nominees.
For me, Elm Street 2 was the absolute Nadir of the series. Even the corny Freedy's Dead and the cheapo Elm Street 5 are more inventive and interesting.
FWIW, my rankings are:
1. Elm Street
2. New Nightmare
3. Elm Street 3
4. Elm Street 4
5. Freddy's Dead
6. Elm Street 5
7. Elm Street 2

Not even into the gay subtext, eh?
The "2" out of ten was for the barely-clad Robert Rusler and that's about it. Even the gay subtext wasn't saving this one for me. Although, I did enjoy the tradition continued from the original of having a former Best Supporting Actress nominee play a mother role (Ronee Blakely in the first; Hope Lange in the second). Does that trend continue?

Death to the Cult of Neutered Hipsters, Pt. II (following 'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist')
Really wanted to go higher on this one because the premise is so clearly there and the aesthetic is wonderful. What a fucking Written-by-a-Guy Movie this is?! Of merit but too obnoxiously indicative of everything I hate about the hipsters generation in all its bullshit soundtrack and all-but-virginal andocentric worldview. This is the kind of movie that Jesse and Celine would ridicule.

Unconquered (1947; Cecil B. DeMille) 6/10
Usual DeMille historical hoohaa with Gary Cooper fighting Indians, Howard DaSilva (making for a terrific villain) double-crossing the British, and Paulette Goddard getting caught in the cross-fire, climaxing with a spectacular siege of Fort Pitt.
