I know people are not listing legend Elizabeth on there.

I just know someone is going to bring up Cher.

 

The girl from My Cousin Vinny Marisa Tomei???? is my pick.

Right? No way is Butterfield 8 one of the worst wins.

For 'Best Actress' specifically, these are definitely up there…

 

Norma Shearer, The Divorcee

Luise Rainer, The Good Earth

Judy Holliday, Born Yesterday

Grace Kelly, The Country Girl

Elizabeth Taylor, BUtterfield 8

Gwyneth Paltrow, Shakespeare In Love

Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side

The Blind Side was a ridiculous win but one of my favorite speeches.

Gwyeneth Paltrow for Shakespeare In Love. 
 

Such a mid performance for a Mid movie, but Harvey Weinstein ran Hollywood at the time. Cate Blanchett gave one of the best performances of the 90’s and was completely robbed. 
 

I wouldn’t say it’s one of the worst, but Sandra Bullocks performance in the Blind Side was nothing special whatsoever.

Sandra Bullock gave an amazing speech to make up for it.

Cate Blanchett in Blue Jasmine, Joan Fontaine in Suspicion and Charlize Theron in Monster.

Adore Sandra Bullock, but yeah. That wasn't an Oscar-worthy role and performance.

gwyneth is actually so charming in shakespeare in love that that i don't find her more undeserving than most mid wins based on strong campaigns (like emma stone in la la land, jennifer lawrence in silver linings, helen hunt literally the year before for as good as it gets, all perfectly fine but not incredible feats of acting by any stretch and driven by the likability of the actress). 

 

sandra bullock, jamie lee curtis, allison janney, and laura dern wins were all bad and awards for their other work. very unpopular but i think marion cotillard is awful in la vie en rose. eddie redmayne was also an awful win.

girl what. charlize in monster was absolutely phenomenal

 

gwyneth takes the prize for this - shakespeare in love did not deserve any oscars at all, let alone 7... and to think it won best picture over saving private ryan... disgrace

All of them are great. But i think Olivia Coleman. She’s excellent, as all of them, but there’s someone that outshine her and more deserving in that year.

Gwenyth immediately came to mind. Harvey Weinstein's purchase influence over that win was a huge stain for the Academy.

It's up there, at least in the 21st century. The win itself won't age badly because a lot of people love her.

 

It's one of those terrible "career wins"

Sandra Bullock

Rami Malek

Casey Affleck :pukey:

Leo DiCaprio/Jaime Lee Curtis (would put them in the same category because they were clearly legacy wins)

 

bonus: Sam Smith (after making that horribly cringing and embarrassing speech I would never leave my house anymore)

These two came to mind immediately. Judy and Cate were robbed.
