Alternate Oscars: 1967 (Acting Categories Re-Do)

Edith Evans' performance in The Whisperers may be good, bad or indifferent, but the notion that she could legitimately wind up with more votes than any other actress in this entire project strikes me as too fanciful to seriously contemplate. And while I'm back in 1967, I thought I would re-do all of the acting categories.

For the curious, Bonnie and Clyde, in a splintered vote, won the poll for best picture of 1967, but just like in real life, Mike Nichols won for directing The Graduate. (Click here to see the results.)

    I couldn’t quite pull the trigger on Alain Delon, even if he did star in (and move forward, move forward, move forward) one of my all-time favourites, Le Samouraï . And it’s not brought no fault of Delon— he’s PERFECT. But that is a director’s film through and through. Poitier may be more conventional — more Hollywood-y — but his performances are grounded and necessary, and he’s given the space to make something of his characters. Tough year . . . .
