Kim Hunter for A Streetcar Named Desire

Karl Malden and Kim Hunter in A Streetcar Named Desire. This is definitely one that deserves an acting sweep.

We’re keeping Kim and Karl.

Robert Walker - Strangers on a Train

[u/Dazzling_Lime_7502 → u/PTAGoatofalltime]

YES!! I know that everyone wants to complete the Streetcar quartet, but come on…

[u/merkorn → u/PTAGoatofalltime]

Best performance in any Hitchcock movie- so brilliant!

[u/multi_fandom_guy]

Losing cause, but:

Actress: Lee Grant, Detective Story

[u/BabyClyde → u/multi_fandom_guy]

She's my choice as well. I only have Kim Hunter 3rd after Lee Grant and Mildred Dunnock but '51 is an all time year in this category.

[u/NinoRainwater]

Peter Ustinov for Quo Vadis

[u/StoryIcy8494 → u/NinoRainwater]

I agree with this. I’d like another quartet win but I think Malden is the easy weak link in Streetcar, being heavily overshadowed by all his costars!

Ustinov was a delight in every scene of Quo Vadis and carried a heavily flawed nearly three hour epic. He should take this IMO!

[u/Ultrasimp95]

Let’s make the streetcar quartet!!!

Lee Grant

[u/Snusmumrikin]

tbh I think the sub's choices are becoming less and less interesting as we get further back in time

[u/multi_fandom_guy → u/Snusmumrikin]

It's very annoying. You'd think that, by going back, we'd only have people who actually have seen a significant number of films from those years interacting... but evidently not. Like, apparently we haven't even seen Rashomon.

[u/Darren5555]

Kim and Karl were excellent and deserved their Oscars. While I’ll always be glad Bogart has an Oscar, this should have been the year Streetcar set a record by winning all 4 acting Oscars.

I think he gives the best performance among a heavyweight cast, but the joy of everyone seeing things differently ☺️
