I was gutted that she was not nominated. She was excellent.

She probably was not campaigned for.

She was campaigned. I think the Academy were reluctant to nominate a very alternative, somewhat kooky singer for best actress, but she was certainly in the running, and was one of the six or seven top contenders for a nomination. The song nod was a token gesture, and she was there in that infamous swan costume.

I think she played one of the best roles an actress has ever played.
She is absolutely wonderful and sweet as Selma.
But you know, the Academy is wrong most of the times.
By the way, who won the Oscar for best leading actress that year?

renee zellweger deserved a nom more than bjork in my opinion, she was the *real* snub that year.

The Oscars are a joke and so is Bjork!

Having just watched the film again after a number of years, I am still rivetted by Bjork's performance !
I cannot believe that her performance didn't at least warrant an Oscar nomination ?
And the Oscar winner was Julia Roberts ????

I dont remenber the other nominees that year, but Bjork certainly made a hell of a job here.

The actress who *should* have won that year was Ellen Burstyn for Requiem For A Dream, though I think Bjork was wonderful in Dancer.

To good of a performance for an Oscar. Way over their head.

Catherine Deneuve deserved an oscar nod as well.

Bjork is my pick for Best Actress that year. Out of the nominated roles, Ellen Burstyn should have won for Requiem for a Dream. Julia Roberts carried Erin Brockovich well, but Ellen was in an entire league above the other nominees.
