I know I'm late to this meme-ishness...

#10 is Working Girl, which I saw at 2 AM on TV like two months after you profiled it and I was way too excited.
I'm pretty sure #7 is...Michael Clayton, right? I think I've got the theme now too.
Both correct (but don't forget to name the performer)...
And the theme is fairly specific...
Right, uh, Tilda Swinton. And now I have narrowed my theme guess and think I've got it. Damn you and your specificity. (The post title is a clue, yes?)
All of these quotations come from Supporting Actress Smackdown winners!
All are spoken by Smackdown winners, except for one, apparently--but I'm not sure which one.
Anyway:
1. Abigail Breslin, "Little Miss Sunshine"
2. Katharine Ross, "The Graduate"
4. Maureen Stapleton, "Interiors"
9. Teri Garr, "Tootsie"
12. Jessica Lange, "Tootsie"
14. Angela Lansbury, "The Manchurian Candidate"
Matt hogging the answers! ;)
so we've only got...
3.
5.
6.
8.
11.
13.
and i have no idea... though #11 sounds like something Geena Davis would've said in accidental tourist in her long TMI speeches about herself.
I'm pretty sure 6 is jane Darwell in Grapes of Wrath
And is 8 Hope Emerson in Caged?
Is 3 Jo Van Fleet in East of Eden? If not for some reason I recall it being Peggy Lee in Pete kelly's Blues, but I could be way off...
11 is Ronee Blakely in Nashville, I think.
Does "She went to shit and the hogs ate her!" come from Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore? I have a feeling it does, but I can't for the life of me remember who said it.
the peas quote is def oprah in the color purple here is another sample from that table scene "hush ole fool always meddlin' in somebody's business sophia home now so hush up"
-my sister is a rare jewel - and what am i, cut class? number 3 was delivered by rita moreno in her oscar-winning performance as anita in west side story. hey, wait a sec. tilda got an oscar for michael clayton. but maureen stapleton i think was only nominated. hey. maybe that's the theme? they're all from nominated performances? i have no idea. but s.w. was nominated for working girl, too. yes - that's it! all nominated supporting actress performances except i guess the grapes of wrath one, which seems to have been a guy.
