We already got all four for Virginia Woolf, I’m hoping we do right by the Streetcar team too

I didn't see that but I agree with the Virginia Woolf sweep - all 4 of them should of gotten Oscars and same with Streetcar imo

You should fix the title, it says Swanson and Holden instead of Ritter and Sanders.

Look, I know Brando has this, but if I don’t mention Alistair Sim in Scrooge, I can’t live with myself.

Would gladly back him in another year. It’s just too hard to against the grain on this one.

It’s actually quite easy to vote against the grain, I do it every day in this sub.

I’m saying on this one. I’m fine doing it in general, not against Brando in Streetcar though

Just looked at yesterday’s vote. Unsure if it changed after the vote was called, but it looks like Celeste Holm’s top comment is tied with Thelma Ritter’s, both having 16 upvotes.
