    What happened to Doris! Bah!

    Okay, I'm going to get in trouble, but I just thought Leigh was over the top.

    Irene Dunne, hands down.

    There was a last minute surge for Natalie Wood. Which is a pity --Doris Day is still living and might have shown up for the award.

    Well, you know, maybe.
