That 8-minute scene in the caff with Hortense (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) sears the soul. The climactic birthday scene is off the scale; outstanding ensemble work from all concerned. A film that stays with you.
Ha ha ha Brenda Blyth has just been on Australian public radio telling the story of her award - she had an accident in the bathroom just before, attempting to wrangle her one-piece tuxedo and heavy pin, and peed on her collar! She said on radio that she was worried steam might come off her tuxedo under the lights and Nicholas Cage might have gotten a whiff!
Glad to see Brenda Blethyn receive this award although I was sort of rooting for Emily Watson for her heartbreaking portrayal of Bess in Breaking the Waves. There were a lot from 1996 that resonated with me. I wish we had more films like them today.
Glad to see this actor doesn't fancy doing interviews in clips I've happened to see featuring her..although discomforting for her, it's good (relieving) that she genuinely finds doing them NAUSEATING.
Both Brenda Blethyn & Emily Watson were equally fantastic in their roles. Im glad Brenda won,still my personal choice would've been Emily Watson. Cannot believe both lost the oscar to Frances McDormand(a great actress indeed) that year for her actual supporting role "Fargo".
Yeah, i was gonna say.. i think if Courtney Love won over Brenda Blethyn, the Golden Globes would have permanently lost all credibility. Honestly, as much as I love Madonna, it she should not have won an acting award.
Brilliant actress. Deserved an Academy Award.
Deserves the oscar for this particular role, incredibly well played!
BAFTA .
Brenda in this film is one of the most outstanding performances I have ever seen unbelievably great ❤🎉
Love her, even today, in VERA. Just fantastic!

Marianne Jean Baptiste should've won the Oscar for Supporting Actress. Flawless performance and so natural.
Brenda Blethyn, I've always adored you❤
She deserved to win she was outstanding in secrets and lies

Бренда Блетин - гениальная актриса.
Both Brenda Blethyn & Emily Watson were equally fantastic in their roles.
Im glad Brenda won,still my personal choice would've been Emily Watson.

Cannot agree with you more. She or Emily deserve the Oscar that year (1997).
1. Brenda
2. Emily
3. Frances
4. Diane Keaton, "Marvin's Room"
5. Kristin

Scientology convention 1:34
Kate Steventon lol
😂😂😂
Ramsgate girl done good.
Awww God, I love her. No finer actor.
scandalous she didnt win oscar actress
Courtney Love is an Academy Award nominated actress?!?!?!
This Is the Year Nick Cage Sell out to hollywood With The rock
Katharine Hepburn neven won a Golden Globe!
Because she is a lack of celebrity power.
Why does Nicolas Cage present the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture Drama?
Courtney Love was amazing in "The People vs Larry Flint". How would they lose credibility?
LOL
Courtney should have won! She was a revelation in The People Vs. Larry Flynt
Played a heroin addict. What a relevation that was.
emily watson should have won
Lan Vu Yes Im kind of torn between both pf them. Emily was brilliant on Frank MCourt's , Angelas Ashes.
Yeah, i was gonna say.. i think if Courtney Love won over Brenda Blethyn, the Golden Globes would have permanently lost all credibility. Honestly, as much as I love Madonna, it she should not have won an acting award.
Courtney Love was so robbed
Have someone here seen Breaking the waves? Emily watson did so much a better job
Kinda wish Courtney Love won so then both CL and Madonna won that would've been cool
Brenda is such a talent though
That's a godawful broach or applique or WHATEVER the hell it is, living on her shoulder...
Courtney was robbed!
Courtney Love should have won
Guillermo Magan no
