Isn't it something how Catherine O'Hara was simply forgotten? The movie was a disaster, but this is the type of performance that should've been an Oscar shoo-in. Unfortunately (and ironically), it needed a campaign, and she didn't have that.
i count two of those as leads (though both are on the ambiguous either or line) and the two (O'Hara & Epps) are both very fine performances.
I've never really understood the fuss for Biswas, Clayburgh (an actress i didn't even like much in her heyday) and Portillo (I was too busy laughing with Duenas and crying with Maura to notice I suppose) but I loved reading your odes to their work.
and I was kinda surprised to see you left Fiona Shaw off because I thought you loved her in Dahlia

I'm so with you on this list. Oh that Seema Biswas.

all signs would indicate that you are not the oscar fairy because this group of 5 is very different.
Indeed, RC.
That's sorta the point of the feature. ;)

With O'Hara I say, hell, close enough, just give it to her, already (maybe next time out?).
Catherine O'Hara should have been nominated!!! Eeek. One of these days she will win. :-) I'm just a huge fan of her. haha
