\nI have been following Nathaniel Rogers’ wonderful Oscar smackdown series for YEARS. He was one of the first film bloggers I discovered, back in the dark ages of time, so it’s super fun that I finally get to participate in this series I’ve been following since the beginning. Rogers picks a year, picks an Oscar category, and then has a bunch of panelists weigh in on each nominee. It’s a SMACKDOWN, people. It’s a RE-COUNT. With the readers being the sixth panelist, so if you want to participate follow the link below for your own ballot. <\/p>\n
Nathaniel asked me to participate in the “Supporting Actress Smackdown”. The year in question? 1984. <\/p>\n
The nominees:
\nChristine Lahti for Swing Shift<\/i>
\nLindsay Crouse for Places in the Heart<\/i>
\nPeggy Ashcroft for Passage to India<\/i>
\nGlenn Close for The Natural<\/i>
\nGeraldine Page for The Pope of Greenwich Village<\/i> <\/p>\n
It had been a long time since I had seen any of these films. It was so much fun to re-visit. <\/p>\n
The Smackdown will start on Wednesday, August 31st. With a podcast to follow. <\/p>\n
