Once More with Tweeting
Friday, October 14, 2016 at 8:00AM In this edition of Tweetweek, Shailene Woodley's arrest, Moonlight fever, the best Supporting Actress winner, a Scarlett Johansson look-a-like, and things overheard in locker rooms. It's all after the jump...

Comedy following 8 different mansplainers, correcting people online in a series of loosely interrelated tales.
If MOONLIGHT doesn't win the Oscar, BAFTA, Palm d'Or, Golden Globe and egg and fucking spoon race then there is something seriously amiss.

We recommend watching "Once More With Feeling" three times a day until November 8th.

So shocked to have heard Oprah say this in the locker room: "With every experience, you alone are painting your own canvas."

Rita Moreno would definitely be in my top 10 best Best Supporting Actress winners but BEST is so subjective. I've always been inclined towards Dianne Weist in Hannah and Her Sisters as best but then there's the extraordinary work by Patty Duke in Miracle Worker (really a co-lead)
Anyway these would be my top 10 in chronological order :
Fay Bainter-Jezebel
Mary Astor-The Great Lie
Claire Trevor-Key Largo
Dorothy Malone-Written on the Wind
Rita Moreno-West Side Story
Patty Duke-The Miracle Worker
Meryl Streep-Kramer vs. Kramer
Linda Hunt-The Year of Living Dangerously
Dianne Wiest-Hannah and Her Sisters
Rachel Weisz-The Constant Gardener
My top 10, in order (four left and dang it Joel, Mary Astor is one of them):
1. Jennifer Hudson, Dreamgirls (2006) - yes, I'm serious
2. Maggie Smith, California Suite (1978)
3. Patty Duke, The Miracle Worker (1962)
4. Dianne Weist, Bullets Over Broadway (1994)
5. Catherine Zeta-Jones, Chicago (2002)
6. Juliette Binoche, The English Patient (1996)
7. Brenda Fricker, My Left Foot (1989)
8. Rita Moreno, West Side Story (1961)
9. Anne Hathaway, Les Miserables (2012)
10. Meryl Streep, Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)
I was not very thrilled when Moreno beat Judy Garland for Judgment at Nuremberg; or, for that matter, when Juliette Binoche upset Lauren Bacall in The Mirror Has Two Faces. I've come to appreciate Binoche as an actress, but I still think my two alternative choices should have prevailed.
These are my ten best performances, in chronological order:
Hattie McDaniel
Jane Darwell
Mary Astor
Cloris Leachman
Vanessa Redgrave
Maggie Smith
Meryl Streep
Maureen Stapleton
Dianne Wiest (Hannah and Her Sisters)
Patricia Arquette
How have we already had 3 comments on Supporting Actress and no mention of Mo'Nique? Or Agnes Moorehead?
Also, that "Smash" tweet is amazing.
"I have a theory! It could be bunnies!"
---alt-Right re everything that's wrong with the government
eurocheese-The Great Lie is a rather ordinary picture but Mary Astor, with Bette Davis's behind the scenes help, steals the movie with a wonderful portrait of a spoiled, selfish delightfully bitchy woman but as terrific as she is I still wish she had won the prize for her Brigid O'Shaughnessy in the same year's The Maltese Falcon for which she wasn't nominated but surely factored in her win.
DJDeeJay-Sadly and incredibly Agnes Moorehead never won for any of her four nominations.
joel6 - ah yes, when I added that about Moorehead at the last minute right before hitting Submit, I forgot we were talking about winners and not just all nominees.
Don't talk to me about Moorehead until we have discussed Ritter.
Angela Lansbury gave the best performance by an actress in a supporting role in The Manchurian Candidate. I will never believe otherwise.
Top 10 Best Supporting Actress winners (alpha order):
Penélope Cruz
Patty Duke
Kim Hunter
Melissa Leo
Hattie McDaniel
Mo'Nique
Rita Moreno
Tatum O'Neal
Meryl Streep
Jo Van Fleet
Joel - I forgot that was Astor in The Maltese Falcon. She's terrific in that.
Since we are all chiming with our Top 10 Best Supporting Actress Winners (in no particular order):
Thelma Ritter in every single MFing movie she ever made ... oh wait ...
Maggie Smith, California Suite
Goldie Hawn, Cactus Flower
Eileen Heckart, Butterflies Are Free
Mo'Nique, Precious
Dorothy Malone, Written on the Wind
Rita Moreno, West Side Story
Rachel Weisz, The Constant Gardener
Juliette Binoche, The English Patient
Penelope Cruz, Vicky Christina Barcelona
Catherine Zeta Jones, Chicago
Holy shit! Christopher Walken kinda does. I guess he can play her dad in a movie one of these days.
Good on Russell Crowe. For being angry about issues as well as still have ROBIN HOOD as his Twitter avatar. I'll never forget when he went after pro-circumcision activists who said "IT'S CLEANER" and he goes "It's called soap, mate." I fell off the couch laughing.
Knowing that there's a lot of classics I need to either watch for the first time or re-watch since it's been so long, my top 10 in chronological order would be:
Rita Moreno
Ruth Gordon
Meryl Streep
Whoopi Goldberg (shut up, I love this one)
Dianne Wiest (Bullets)
Marcia Gay Harden
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Mo'Nique
Melissa Leo
Lupita Nyong'o
*with a special shout-out to Tatum O'Neil who technically should count but it's such egregious category fraud and I had to cut someone, so she had to go.
**Also really want to fit Penelope Cruz in here but not sure who's place she should take
