Usually referred to as the best line-up in this category for the last 25 years or so (though I like a couple better, like 1996).

Me too, and Fishburne would be at or near the head of the pack in his category too. It's almost a blessing to both their performances that the movie itself is so run-of-the-mill.

Stockard Channing. Man, I know no actress whose stage-bound brittleness and passion worked so well in a part.

Channing has really become the retroactive cult fave in this category.

She was my favorite then!

On the other hand there was a bit of "enough already" when Emma Thompson got two nominations.

Maybe we don't do these polls so much anymore.

I saw Channing do 6D on Broadway, but don't think I bothered to vote.
