the big smile says it all

Yes I noticed that. Great film. Just watched it tonight on TCM

You spelled her name wrong.

Sorry!

@@florinest Nearly everybody on these boards, it seems, is 12, only recently heard of Katharine Hepburn, and even worse, think Bette Davis is spelled Betty.

That is so very true, Benjamin. Any of them.

I had exactly the same thought when they announced the nominees. They were all wonderful.

Except Katherine Hepburn's role in Guess.... was supporting and her performance a bit one note, I agree re the other four nominees -all stellar -Dame Edith Evans, Audrey Hepburn, Anne Bancroft and Faye Dunaway. Audrey received two nominations that year from the Golden Globes for best actress in a motion picture drama for Wait Until Dark and for best actress in a motion picture musical or comedy for the great Two for the Road. Although a very difficult choice I would have checked the ballot box for Audrey

You seen a lot of today’s movies that have received nominations?

You and I were thinking the same

Faye Dunaway, as a person, not as an actress, could only hope to possess the charm, grace, and niceness of Audrey Hepburn. Faye Dunaway is a diva of the highest order who is very rude to people in public and on movie sets. A real bitch.

Don't forget Anne Bancroft

I TOTALLY disagree. Kate the GREAT gave a maudlin performance. She was teary-eyed in almost every scene in the movie, even scenes that didn't need it. I think the prospect of Tracy's death was looming over her and she was too overcome with grief and anxiety and was distracted by it. And to think that she followed this boring performance with her career best performance in "The Lion in Winter" for which she was tied at the Oscars.

Yes her tears in that scene in the movie were real during Spencer's speaking

She was a consummate professional

Yes, a dreamy and loving person. Audrey was standing on the side, as she had just presented the best actor oscar (Rod Steiger), shocking that Katherine Hepburn won. The critics groups gave all their awards and runner up awards to these three of the nominees- Dame Edith Evans for The Whisperers, Anne Bancroft for her unforgettable Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate and of course Audrey Hepburn for two great performances that year - Wait Until Dark and Two For The Road, at the Golden Globes that year Audrey received two nominations that year Best Actress in a Comedy Motion Picture for Two for the Road and Best Actress in a Drama Motion Picture for Wait Until Dark. Katherine Hepburn's role was supporting and even the director George Cuckor seems surprised that she won.

@@155gerard Katherine Hepburn's was definitely not a supporting role. She was the main female lead in the movie with Sidney Poitier and Spencer Tracey the two male leads. Who deserved to win is always up in the air - nothing shocking about her win at all. Sometimes the right actor in the right movie wins, sometimes the wrong actor in the right movie wins. It's basically like a beauty contest - all contestants are similarly beautiful but the judges choose one particular contestant as the most beautiful for some esoteric reasons. Such is life.

Hepburn again!!

I am glad. you do.

I totally agree.

Except for the Academy Award, it was Edith Evans who won almost all the pre Oscar film critics awards for best actress for her role in The Whisperers in 1967 instead of K. Hepburn.

It was a strong year, but there have been stronger years.

Not at all. Not impressed by K Hepburn's performance. Edith Evans was great but the movie was so and so. Others have delivered better performances.

Agreed! I would have given the Oscar to Faye Dunaway or Anne Bancroft.

Have you even watched “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner”? You’re an idiot.

Do you really think that K Hepburn was the weakest of the bunch? In the 60s this was a groundbreaking film, and I remember being stunned by Hepburn. As with all OSCARS the categories should demonstrate the best, and I favoured Hepburn in GWCTD. The following year she stunned again in The Lion in Winter. As it stands, Hepburn leads the best actress honours with four awards. Frances McDormand now has 3 best actress OSCARS, and there are numerous actresses with two awards for best actress, including the great Meryl and Ingrid (who both have a best supporting actress OSCAR). There are some women who have won best actress OSCARS, such as Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence, and for the life of me I don’t understand how they did!

The Golden age of Hollywood is a faded memory. The 2020 Academy Awards is on tonight April 25, 2021 I won’t watch never heard of any of the movies nominated did anyone even go to the movies last year with the China virus? Hollywood is now a one party town just a bunch of woke left wing hypocrites. GO WOKE GO BROKE !!!!!! Hopefully the last year this trash is televised.

@@notnek202 gee,what a happy fulfilled person you are!

@@DippyHippie you know nothing about me and I never made anything personal like you did but then you are a sad pathetic liberal who can’t wait to put others down because you can’t win the argument. It’s a fact Hollywood today is total trash they celebrate the lowest common denominator. Most of the elites who live in Hollywood are downright degenerates.

@@notnek202 you’re right! I do not know anything about you. But unless you’ve been a>part of Hollywood per se’,you don’t know about that world! Have a wonderful Christmas & a great New Year!

@@DippyHippie it’s my opinion my dear but I guess in the new woke liberal American my opinion doesn’t count. I don’t know about that world but you do? Merry Christmas & a wonderful 2022. 🙂

I know personally, this gal was a horrible actress.................

mamatibbors cassady horrible??? Well, you don't seem to know much about acting then..

@@mamatibborscassady9388 How do you know personally?? Did you work with her? She must have done something right being nominated for an Academy award. Have you?

@@mamatibborscassady9388 She’s a fantastic actress you idiot.

What an absolute goddess

Plus in addition to Wait Until Dark, Audrey Hepburn was also stellar that same year in Two For the Road , the Golden globes recognized Audrey Hepburn for both films, two nominations -best actress in a motion picture musical or comedy for her work in Two for the Road and best actress in a motion picture drama for Wait Until Dark

Golden Globes are not the harbinger of who will win later at the Oscars. Besides, they did not give her the award, did they?

Wow! You've recorded it well. I have a question , was there a time when Katharine Hepburn didn't win in any acting category, lead or support?🌎 ✌️😀🇵🇭

Sooo true. I agree about Bancroft. She is such an underrated actress. In my opinion she is one of the all time greats.

@@anirudharun6546 how about Edith Evans

That's not true. She was renown for not attending pompous award shows. Besides, she was grieving Spencer.

I agree. I love Stanley Kramer's films.

@@moniquelacosta5170 I think he might have meant Frank Capra, who accepted the award.

Kate Winslet was the leading of The Reader

​@@giovannyespinoza6013 No, *Kate Winslet* is definitely supporting in _The Reader._ *'Michael'* is the title character. The movie revolves around him. It's his coming-of-age story. *Winslet* just plays his MILF lover, *'Hanna,'* who comes in and out of his life over the course of thirty years. I think people get confused because *'Michael'* is played by two different actors *(David Kross* as a teenager, *Ralph Fiennes* in his forties) and *Winslet* is merely aged up in makeup. But *'Hanna'* doesn't have a lot of screen time compared to *'Michael,* from whose perspective the film is told. *Winslet* rightly won *Best Supporting Actress* at *SAG* and *Golden Globes* for _The Reader._ I don't know why *BAFTA* and the *Oscars* put her in *Best Actress in a Leading Role.*

And Tracy died after their last performance together so that may have helped her chance of winning.

I think the same thing every time I watch her in something from this time. Most beautiful woman ever for me

Hennryyy That was an incredible performance! I also loved her performance in "Two for the Road" which was released that same year.

Absolutely! The Academy had to choose between them as to which film she should be nominated for, and ended up choosing 'Wait Until Dark'. But she deserved the award for both in my opinion!

Hennryyy I agree! I think that although her performance was incredible in "Wait Until Dark" they should have nominated her for "Two for the Road". It was her most honest and real work in my opinion, and the journey of her character is a journey that many women go through, and she played the part perfectly.

Henry Wilkinson

You are absolutely right.

Yes, it is all about legend.

True true true She looks mythical

The real Bonnie was more of a ruthless killer than the Dunaway character. Dunaway was super great portraying the character written for her in the script.

I remember when the nominations were announced in winter '68 film critic Rex Reed said Audrey would be his choice but she should have instead been nominated for Two for the Road, the golden globes gave her two nominations for best actress that year for both Wait Until ... and Two for the Road

Yep. Faye was the most beautiful woman of all time for me. Very few even came close to her perfection

I think it was more of a case that she hated the pompousness of it all. She loved acting. She didn't love the glamourous frocking up.

Bancroft's role was more a supporting role...Hepburn had only 1 Oscar at this point, giving her #2 34 years after number seemed fitting- after losing Tracey and Dunaway being too new, etc. A lot of things go into picking a winner- human emotion probably foremost.

And as a 21 year old African American woman who was able to marry an Italian-irish man in 1967. it was quite a speech!

Not really exclude audrey 😕
