Winners indicated (*). I still need to see films like Sanjuro, Billy Budd, Lonely are the Brave, The Trial of Joan of Arc, Akitsu Springs, David and Lisa, An Autumn Afternoon, Two for the Seesaw, Walk on the Wild Side, Freud, Harakiri, Boccaccio '70, The Trial, All Fall Down, Family Portrait, Hell is for Heroes, A Wanderer's Notebook, Hatari!, Five Weeks in a Balloon, and The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm.
Note: I've got Winter Light in this year instead of 1963, since some sites (like Criterion) list it as a 1962 release.

The only movie I've seen from this year was To Kill A Mockingbird (which I loved) Fail for me. ha
ReplyDeleteHaha, it's a great movie though. :)
DeleteI love this year SO MUCH! For me, Jules et Jim stampedes through with so many wins...since it is my #1 movie of all time ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove that you award Sellers! One of the greatest supporting actor performances of all time!
So many great movies this year, and I've still got some big ones left unseen. Yeah, I knew Jules and Jim would dominate. ;)
DeleteSellers is phenomenal! And he wasn't even nominated!
Another great year. Winter Light (Björnstrand, so good), Baby Jane, Vivre sa Vie, Wine and Roses – I want them ALL to win!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? Best Actress was tough. I went with Karina, since I already give Remick a win for Anatomy of a Murder, and Davis gets 2 wins for Now, Voyager and All About Eve.
DeleteOh, Bjornstrand is in my top 10 performances of all-time list. He's just brilliant.
I had to leave off a few films and their performers that I really like, The L-Shaped Room, Knife in the Water, Advise and Consent, Gypsy and a few others, but one that I didn't forget and whose acclaim and prestige baffle me is Lawrence of Arabia. After several attempts I've made it through once and found it a ponderous bore. I know I'm in the minority but nothing could induce me to ever watch it again.
ReplyDeletePicture:
How the West Was Won
Lonely Are the Brave
Long Day's Journey Into Night
The Manchurian Candidate-Winner
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
My dearth of foreign film viewing has made our lists very different but it was a great year for film so there were many viable choices. Even though it is necessarily episodic I love the breath and visual beauty of HTWWW whereas Ford's Liberty Valance has an elegiac quality in it's stark black and white and mythos busting. Lonely is another dark examination of the old West ending and Journey a dark exploration of the damage a family can inflict. Speaking of family damage Candidate is perhaps the ultimate example on the malevolence foisted on one's own wrapped in a great thriller making it my winner.
Director:
John Ford-The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
John Frankenheimer-The Manchurian Candidate-Winner
Sidney Lumet-Long Day's Journey Into Night
Sam Peckinpah-Ride the High Country
Roman Polanski-Knife in the Water
I loved Ford's fully seasoned work in his penultimate, and one of his best, westerns but Frankenheimer's execution of the tension filled Candidate is tremendous.
Actor:
Burt Lancaster-The Birdman of Alcatraz
Jack Lemmon-The Days of Wine and Roses-Winner
James Mason-Lolita
Gregory Peck-To Kill a Mockingbird
Ralph Richardson-Long Day's Journey Into Night
Five great performances but what cinched it for me in Lemmon's favor was the DT scene, the whole performance is amazing and only someone as likable as Lemmon could make you invest in his character despite often despicable behavior and still care about his redemption.
Nomination worthy-Alan Bates-A Kind of Loving, Kirk Douglas-Lonely Are the Brave and Joel McCrea-Ride the High Country
Actress:
Anne Bancroft-The Miracle Worker
Claire Bloom-The Chapman Report
Bette Davis-Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
Katharine Hepburn-Long Day's Journey Into Night-Winner
Lee Remick-The Days of Wine and Roses
A strong field with searing work from all the competing women. Claire Bloom is profoundly sad as a very lost woman in Chapman and Remick a revelation as the spiraling drunkard in Roses. Bancroft is phenomenal but hers is a dance with Patty Duke and one without the other would not be as impactful. Davis completely abandons all vanity to create the broken, ghoulish Jane, she's my runner-up. But Hepburn's performance as the hapless drug addicted Mary Tyrone is completely unlike any of her other work, had she only won for one performance it should have been this one, so of course she lost.
Nomination worthy-Leslie Caron-The L-Shaped Room, Geraldine Page-Sweet Bird of Youth and Eva Marie Saint-All Fall Down
I can understand your opinion of Lawrence of Arabia. I used to consider it the most overrated film of all time, until I saw it in theaters five or six years later. It's a staggering achievement, but I didn't always hold it in such high regard.
DeleteGlad to see The Manchurian Candidate and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance in the major categories. I didn't love Long Day's Journey Into Night, but Hepburn was terrific in it.
Supporting Actor:
ReplyDeleteRobert Mitchum-Cape Fear-Winner
Lee Marvin-The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Jason Robards Jr.-Long Day's Journey Into Night
Peter Sellers-Lolita
Dean Stockwell-Long Day's Journey Into Night
This is a weird year for supporting actor since the three men from Long Day's Journey were jointly awarded best actor at Cannes, a fact that I think muddied the water enough that come Oscar time category confusion cost all of them nominations. Sir Ralph is clearly the lead though so I split the other two into support. Same with Mitchum since he and Peck could almost be considered co-leads but I see him as the lurking menace who rises up and threatens the main family so I put him in support too enabling him to take the prize.
Supporting Actress:
Patty Duke-The Miracle Worker
Julie Harris-Requiem for a Heavyweight
Shirley Knight-Sweet Bird of Youth
Angela Lansbury-All Fall Down
Angela Lansbury-The Manchurian Candidate-Winner
Patty is astonishing in The Miracle Worker but as with Anne it's a special dance that the two did together. I don't usually double dip but Lansbury is so extraordinarily great in both films I had to hand her the nod for both. However her poisonous Mrs. Iselin is one of the finest displays of the insidiousness of evil behind a pleasing facade ever and I knew she'd be my winner before I started.
I love that you've placed Mitchum in Supporting for the win, but I see him as a clear co-lead. Oh, I haven't seen All Fall Down, but two nominations (and a win) for Lansbury is interesting. I'll have to check it out.
