I can't think of a single thing that Uma brought to the performance that was unique or outstanding and this is coming from...

The best thing one can say about Uma's Mia is that it was cool.

She was good but I think the costuming/hair and the way Tarantino films the character is a big part of why it is so memorable, not primarily her performance.

I agree about 1999 being an amazing supporting actress year - both acadamy-wise and for personal lists. One of the best ever?! Let's just bypass the winner. And I looove to see other people sing praises for Cloë Sevigny! What she and Hilary acomplished in that movie...Holy moly!

I also haven't seen much of Plowright, but I can't stand her. I still want to see her in Three sisters (1970) and Uncle Vanya (1963), thought.

I was actually shocked when I revisited "The Madness of King George" a year or so ago. Hawthorne is terrific, but Helen Mirren? Why was she nominated for this performance?

I mean, it was like a nothing performance and shouldn't have been nominated but I never got the strong dislike for it. I haven't seen a whole lot of her films/stage work though, so maybe in comparison, it is pretty bad.
