Bridgette Nielsen denied an Oscar
I cant believe after watching this splendid movie, notable especially for Brigette Nielsens commanding prescence and brilliant performance in a the titular role that she was denied the Oscar that year for Best Actress.
When you add up the way she brought the character from the 2D comic books to life in 3D coupled with the sheer range and emotion with which she played the character and her obvious dramatic talent it was unbelievable that those stupid members of the Academy could have overlooked her.
I know I am not alone in this belief, but its rumored that the Academy refused her the statuette because she was a confirmed as a bi-sexual animal right activist who didnt like Ronald Reagan. Well....knowing the political garbage of Hollywood, its was probably better for her not to have to turn down the honor to preserve her own honor.
To me the Academy is a non entity anyway. A stupid biased award system for do gooders who suck up to its members.
