In Reply to: Actress Academy Award winning or nominated performances that had an emotional impact on you... posted by TWB on August 27, 2006 at 00:46:30:
Well it's a tough question because most of my favorite performances weren't nominated...For example - Renee Falconetti as Joan of Arc is my hands down #1
But in your criteria I would mostly agree with Elizabeth Taylor - Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? A great performance and what an ensemble. of Burton, Denis and Segal.
I recently saw Woolf here in NYC as a stage play with Kathleen Turner . Although Turner was good it really made appreciate E.T. even more. Taylor brought a sexuality and crudeness that was powerful and off-putting - but somehow while always earning our empathy. Burton was no slouch either!

Falconetti certainly deserved some recognition even though she wasn't nominated and probably wouldn't have met the Academy's American release criteria at the time.
AuPh
on my list only 4 of the ten were winners notably Taylor, Streisand, Holliday and Swank. But there have been MANY instances where the Academy has overlooked really great performances in favor of more politically correct ones....
