Cast Your Vote for APRIL's "Supporting Actress Sunday" Series

StinkyLulu's Supporting Actress Sunday begins this week! (This Sunday, Lu'll offer a thought or thirteen about the work of the glorious Maureen Stapleton in the gourmet cheese platter, Airport.)

And, from here on out, each Sunday, StinkyLulu will offer commentary on one of the five nominees (in no particular order) from a given year in Oscar history. Additionally, on the final Sunday, Lu'll discuss the "field" of five. So, it'll be one nominated performance per week (April has five Sundays this year!) with a wrap-up on the field at month's end.

As an extra bonus, from time to time, Nathaniel at FilmExperience and Nick of Nick's Pick Flicks will join up with the Lu for occasional tandem reviews -- sometimes of a particular performance, sometime of the whole roster of a given year's nominees. (Should you, lovely reader, want to join in the filmfreakfestivities -- just give Lu a holler!)

But now:
StinkyLulu Needs Your Vote for APRIL's Screening Schedule!
Below you will find a somewhat arbitrary sampling of Supporting Actress nominees, arranged by year. Your task -- should you choose to accept it -- is to let Lulu know -- either in comments or via email -- your preferred YEAR. A simple majority of votes cast will determine StinkyLulu's screening schedule for April...

So, choose wisely, lovely reader.
The power is in your hands...
