Everybody's Still Linking for Glenda Jackson
Agh! When I was doing yesterday's Everybody's Linking for the Weekend, I completely forgot my favorite link of the week-I blame this on Cara Delevingne's poor attitude and ridiculously hard-to-spell last name. The post deserved its own link, though, so please make sure to click over to Luke's article about the 1970's Best Actress Oscar races! Not only has Luke guest-blogged on this site before, but also he's a great writer and shares my love of all things Oscar minutia. I was particularly interested looking at the link in his fascination with Glenda Jackson. For those unfamiliar, Jackson was a MAJOR actress of the 1970's, netting four Oscar nominations and two wins (and likely came very close in 1978 with a third for Stevie, had the studio done a better job of releasing the film). Normally I have heard some critics scoff Jackson's omnipresence in the decade frequently comparing her to another 1970's aberration Marsha Mason (who doesn't get as much love in the link), but Luke, a critic I frequently concur with, makes a strong case for her, keeping her in the top three for all of her competitions and even gives her two Oscars. Click on over and find out for which films as well as for discussions on Ellen Burstyn, Faye Dunaway, Diane Keaton, and Jane Fonda, and insist that Luke make us wait less time for the 1960's than he did for the 1970's (he's also profiled the 80's, 90's, and 00's, so you should really just feel the love in general over there and have an Oscar-tastic afternoon).
