It’s not just that her wins aren’t so great. It’s that she didn’t even get nominated for her two best performances(Casablanca and Notorious) two of the greatest performances ever IMO.
Autumn Sonata is easily her best and most acclaimed. It's just not as popular as Casablanca or Notorious. (I do agree that she should have easily been nominated for those and are better than most of her nominations)
Please watch the Autumn Sonata by Ingmar Bergman. I think that her best performance and the most complex character she played.
I don't know. Her performance in Gaslight had much more depth than in Casablanca (not hard anyway given the subject matter). And, anyway, the Academy apparently decided to focus on For Whom the Bell Tolls for her that year of Casablanca... More or less for Casablanca the camera decided to be her patron rather than the script ... lol
@@sann5146 i would agree here, I think even though she is great and definatey nomination worthy in both Notorious and Casablanca, people are more focused on the fact that the two films are great and kind of masterpieces, very popular but as far as her individual performance (NOT CHARACTER BUT PERFORMANCE SHE GIVES) is not an all time great acting. And Gaslight is definatey superior work, but also cause the role offered much more.
The reason why Ingrid wasn’t nominated for “Casablanca” was the Academy rules that stated that an actor can only compete one movie per acting category, and the studios chose to campaign her other film “To Whom The Bell Tolls” that year, and she got the nomination for that film.
Ingrid Bergman is one of the most talented actresses ever. I really enjoyed her work.
I give Ingrid crdit for one of the most gracious acceptance speeches in Oscar history. When she won for Murder on the Orient Express, she apologized to Valentina Cortese, who she felt was more deserving. She was truly a class act.
There’s another reason why I love Ingrid Bergman. This is a true story. The war in Finland ended in 1944 and Helsinki was in a mess with very little left in commodities. My Mom, 23 years-old at the time, was requiring clothes. She loved the movies and, of course, knew that Ingrid was somewhere in Hollywood. She sat down and, in Swedish, wrote to her asking if she could spare some of her wardrobe. A stamp was placed on the envelope with the caption “Ingrid Bergman, U.S.A.” Several weeks later, a trunk was delivered to her full of dresses. What a considerate and a class act she was! Thanks to the U.S. postal service also.
Ingrid was truly wonderful. Certainly one of the greatest actresses ever.
Her win for Gaslight was the best of the three...and her apology to Cortese said it all about the Supporting Oscar.
Again, I have to agree with you. She should have one for Casablanca, Notorious and Autumn Sonata. Gaslight is a very worthy win. Gaslight is make up win for loosing the previous year or not nominated for Casablanca but it also happens to be a worthy win as well. I think with Murder on the Orient Express, out of the entire cast she is the one that stands out. She took a very small role and made people remember her over everyone else. It is a good win for the nominees that year. Anastasia is the "I'm sorry we didn't have your back" win.
Thank you Brian for covering one of my favourite Classic Hollywood actresses.
Love the shoutout to BeKindRewind. Love you both ❤
Glad you mentioned Cactus Flower, my guilty pleasure! I love everything about it, from the stars (Goldie) to the late 1960s kitsch, from the comedy to Sarah Vaughn’s theme song. Just wonderful!
Goldie: A man who lies cannot love.
Ingrid: That sounds like something out of a fortune cookie.
As an Ingrid's stan, much as I tink she was good in Gaslight. Stanwych shld've won for her most iconic femme fatale role tt yr!! Bergman shld've won 2 yrs later for a similarly tortured but far superior performance in Hitchcock's Notorious!!
I agree that she should have won for Gaslight, and she absolutely should have won for Casablanca and Autumn Sonata instead of Anastasia and Murder on the Orient Express. Those two were wins to make up for other times she should have won and to apologize for the blacklist and welcome her back to Hollywood, and Murder on the Orient Express was also a career win. I think she deserved nominations for Cactus Flower and Notorious but not necessarily a win (although wins would have been good too).
Instead of the Anastasia win, Deborah Kerr should have won for The King and I. Kerr is one of my favorite actresses and should be an Oscar winner, and this is a great performance. It has a lot of depth (not my favorite Kerr performance but this was the closest she came, I agree).
I think Kahn or Valentina should have won instead of Bergman for Murder on the Orient Express.
Autumn Sonata is a fantastic movie and I think it gave Bergman a chance to display her talent and she worked with another acting legend, Liv Ullmann . And finally you have two great Bergmans together - Ingrid and Ingmar.
I love Ingrid Bergman, but I would've only given her Best Actress for Autumn Sonata. As much as I love her performance in Gaslight, I would've given the win to Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity. Her win for Anastasica feels like a comeback win, and her win Murder on the Orient Express makes no sense to me
Ingrid Bergman was someone who you’ll never forget. Some of her Oscar wins are questionable but for her to win three in under 10 nominations is rare like Frances McDormand and Daniel Day Lewis
Well, winning exactly three Oscars is what's rare -- only six actors have ever done it. But four of them, i.e. 66.6% (Bergman, Day-Lewis, McDormand, and Walter Brennan) did so with fewer than 10 nominations. The other two are Jack Nicholson (12 nominations) and Meryl Streep (21).
For that matter, receiving 10 or more acting nominations is likewise exceedingly rare -- only five examples exist, the other three being Bette Davis (10), Laurence Olivier (10), and Katharine Hepburn (12).
I love that there's still nothing near a consensus about who should have won best actress in 1978--seems like a fairly even spread among Bergman, Clayburgh, and Page advocates (I'm team Bergman all the way).
I'm surprised you didn't say more about Valentina Cortese. She's absolutely BRILLIANT in Day for Night. She was so good that Bergman herself spent her entire acceptance speech signing her praises and begging for forgiveness!
"LI-on in the WIN-ter"! Always a pleasure to watch Brian and Cody riffing on Oscar lore.
I enjoyed this a lot. To answer your question, Gaslight is Ingrid’s best Oscar win. She clearly should have been nominated for both Casablanca and Notorious. Cary Grant blows me away in the latter and the chemistry between him and Ingrid is pretty electric.
She deserved to win for Casablanca, Notorious and Autumn Sonata. She is win worthy for Under the Capricorn, Elena and her men, the Visit, Cactus flower. And her performances in Rossellini such as Europe 51.
It might be hard to imagine now, but seeing MOTOE in the theater with all those stars was really something. Rachel Roberts and Wendy Heller were hysterical, but the mystery was solid and the trainload of talent make me remember this movie fondly.
Valentina gave one of the greatest performances in one of my favorite films ever.
My favourite actress since I was a teen, and saw her in an old movie on late night tv, called Saratoga Trunk.
I hope they cover Jessica Lange, because she’s an icon!
Definitely agree!!!!
Just imagine if Meryl Streep’s wins were silkwood, music from the heart, and into the woods. That’s Ingrid Bergman’s wins
I love Gaslight. It's a masterpiece and a deserved win for Ingrid. She's one of Golden Hollywood's best actors.
Ingrid B is arguably the greatest star in the history of the movies.
She should have got nominated for Cactus Flower. Her comedy timing in that was superb and she was easily better than Goldie Hawn who won the Oscar for it.
I am a HUGE Ingrid Bergman fan. FYI... Ingrid Bergman's archives are held at Weslyan College in Connecticut... INCLUDING all 3 of her Oscars which you can actually see in person. If you want to take a road trip to Connecticut to see them it is totally worth it.
Having watched the live telecast of the Oscars in 1969, Ingrid announced the Best Actress tie with a flub. She said "The Lion in the Winter." The Academy has since edited this video to reflect the correct movie title. Plus she says Barbra Strie-sund.
my favourite actress!!!
Great episode! Thanks for illuminating a remarkable acting career.
This comment isn’t going to be connected to this video, but I really want you to make a video about why Malcolm McDowell wasn’t nominated for an Oscar for A Clockwork Orange
Every time I hear you say “For Whom the Bell Tolls” I yell in my head “Time marches on!”*headbangs to Metallica*
THE GREATEST ACTRESS OF ALL TIME
in my head, i feel like giving her the oscar is a good deal and kinda like an apology from hollywood for treating her like shit after the scandal
I'm sorry you didn't play her speech at the Awards the year following her Anastasia win. She is there to present, but more or less prologues it with an acceptance for Anastasia.
The answer to the title is simple
She was great one of the greatest of all time
She should’ve been nominated for Casablanca AND she should’ve won for Autumn Sonata rather than Murder on the Orient Express.
My friends mom sold her a bathing suit when she would come to Rochester because her first husband went to medical school in Rochester
One of My favorite Bergman movies, is the wonderful "Inn of the sixt Happening". A bit cheecy, but I love it
I actually heard that the reason why Ingrid Bergman was nominated for "For Whom the Bell Tolls" instead of "Casablanca" was because she wanted to campaign for her performance in the former. Apparently, she didn’t believe too much for "Casablanca'c and yet, it ended up as the Best Picture Winner for 1943.
Also, whatever you do, don't watch "For Whom the Bell Tolls." It's long and boring with a copy-and-paste screenplay that doesn't understand the nuences of the book. Also, did I mention the brown face? Even though the novel is not perfect, go read that instead.
She's great in Spellbound as well and I have to disagree with Cody for saying Diane Ladd didn't have much to do in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, she's quite memorable in the part.
Lovely video !
Her getting nominated for Bells and not Casablanca is cause Bells was much more an actors film (all those noms plus acting win), it's an emotionally beloved character(transformation) from classic literature. Casablanca even though won Best picture couldnt even win actor or supporting actor, and it easily could have.
Valentina Cortese should have won it for Day For Night. Ingrid's win was sentimental, something the Academy still does to this day.
Davis and Garson in 1944 should have been dumped for Judy Garland in MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS and Tallulah Bankhead in LIFEBOAT. (The original Gaslight from 1944 with Diana Wynyard and Anton Walbrook is a knockout and much better than the remake.)
I'd be really interested in your take on Beatrice Straight's win for 'Network' :-)
Gaslight was a great one for her to win for the others not so much.
I prefer Death On The Nile and Evil Under The Sun .Murder On The Orient Express just the the whodonenit itself isn't one of my favorites .I know many wlove the way Christie wrote it but it's just not one I care for and the movie is pretty dull.
If he would have won for Casablanca ,Notorious and Autumn Sonota she would be the GOAT of the Oscars.
"Mr. Skeffington" is a wonderful movie with fabulous performances by Davis and Rains. WTH??
Trashing Murder on the Orient Express (1974)? OY! Bergman won BAFTA for it too. Also not mentioned in this video is what contributed to Bergman being singled out was director Sidney Lumet shooting her interrogation in one take, close on her. It was a weak slate; she had a technical edge, gave a catchy performance with a Swedish accent,that pops, and she sure was a favorite.
Gaslight: Deserved
Anastasia: not deserved
Murder on the Orient Express: OMG WTF one of the worst wins ever !
💯
Can you do a deep dive of Monique’s win? That would be interesting. Quite a few politics going on in that race and she still swept the season. Just a thought! I like giving you my thoughts lol.
Who probably has the most perfect multiple trophy win in Oscar history? Like they deserved all gold trophies.
Her last Oscar win was so underwhelming tbh
Spellbound - another great performance she didn’t get nominated for
Because she was a great actress?
Any albert finney movie IS a good movie, whatcha saying?
Cactus Flower is about an older woman who's as prickly as a cactus. Ingrid Bergman really had to deglamorize herself for that one.
I found Murder on the Orient Express rather boring and quite lacklustre despite the star-studded cast, but Bergman was really outstanding, even though her role as a stuck-up Swedish missionary was nothing more than a caricature.
Cody, if you think that Blazing Saddles was not funny at all, then there is something really wrong with you.
Kerr was robbed for the King and I, she should of won instead of Ingrid for Anastasia
I feel like if you’re going to title the video “Why Ingrid Bergman won three Oscars” more research should be done to try to explain the reasoning behind the win. I’m not saying necessarily that just a sit down podcast-like chat discussing the wins isn’t entertaining, but it sounds like you just watched Anastasia and Murder on the Orient Express to not go in blind in this video, but the commentary hardly explained why she won. It’s a bit disingenuous.
Gaslight bad script
No one can understand
the story
Anstasia ingred birgman too old to act this role
Anstasia was younger in real life
So she look old as anstasia
The film was bad script
She must take it for autumn sonata
“it’s always very nice to get an Oscar” omg I spit out my drink. Icon.
please do Katharine Hepburn next, it's so fun to see you and cody discuss about oscar win
The fact that she NEVER POPPED up for any of her races just sends me😂 sis literally said “Thank You, Next”.
@@perryjones7771 and that time where she asked for her oscar to be sent in a paper bag by her friend, only for the person who sent it came to her house and found the paper bag remain untouched in the cabinet for such long time 😂 she's so hilarious!
I love Ingrid Bergman but I think Valintina Cortese for Day For Night had a great performance and should’ve won. I believe Ingrid acknowledged Valintina her in her Oscar speech.
I love Ingrid speech, it was evident that she didn’t want to win, probably because she’d already won twice and felt that she really didn’t need another one. She would’ve preferred another actress to have won instead of her. Finally, Valentina’s performance in “Day For Night” was the only one out of the other nominees that Ingrid had seen, at the time, so she wanted her to win!
She's a very good actress; no argument there. However, in addition to her Oscar winning roles, I think she was superb in THE VISIT. Anybody see that movie? Also, I absolutely LOVED Murder on the Orient Express, but that's because I love movies with all-star casts. I didn't think she deserved an Oscar for that performance. I agree she should've been nominated for Casablanca. My all-time favorite actress is Bette Davis, so please do a video on her Oscar nominations! Thanks! Love your videos! Esther Schwartz
I definitely think Valentina Cortese deserved to win for DAY FOR NIGHT. A charming role in a charming film. I'm surprised neither of you guys mentioned the performance all that much, and think you should both give it a rewatch.
She didn't deserve the 3rd Oscar. She even said in her speech that Valentina Cortese deserved it more. They gave it to her as a token apology for the way Hollywood treated her and blackballed her after her affair with Roberto Rossellini.
Wasn't Faye Dunaway and Diane Keaton in this category?
@@chamindujanith6337 No, Faye Dunaway was in the best actress category. Diane Keaton wasn't nominated that year.
@@bpure2560 That's their problem. These are the 2 best supporting performances that year.
@@bpure2560 I also have to give a shout out to Silvano Mangano's amazing wicked performance in Conversation Pierce with Lancaster.
I thought that was for Anastasia?
Ingrid Bergman is one of those stars that will never be forgotten. It's amazing how similar she sounds to her daughter Isabella Rossellini.
And looks the same too!
Murder on the Orient Express the Sidney Lumet version is really solid, elegant entertainment and I am shocked that Brian Rowe and Cody find it boring, dull and a slog, you have got to be kidding me!
I totally agree with this comment! Apparently Brian and Cody have never read the book, which the movie follows quite faithfully. “Murder on the Orient Express” is one of Agatha Christie’s most famous mysteries and it is also different from the way most of her other stories are told. This movie was one of the better adaptations of an Agatha Christie novel and I enjoyed it very much and really appreciated its fidelity to the book, which is a really great read!
What a great video! I agree that instead of Murder On The Orient Express or Anastasia, she should have won for Casablanca and Autumn Sonata instead. What an incredible performance she gives in Autumn Sonata.
And Brian's Ingrid 1969 impersonation has already made my day 😂 Thanks for another fascinating video, Brian! I also watched Be Kind Rewind's video on her last night preparing for this.
3:10 "Mr. Skeffington" is my favorite Bette Davis film, mainly because of title character played by Claude Raines, who she called the greatest actor she ever worked with. The final scene is devastating. This isn't her weakest nomination. That (dis) honor goes to "The Star."
Mr Skeffington is a movie about vanity, self-centeredness and the loss of one's youth and beauty and Bette gives an incredible performance in it...
y’all’s opinion of murder on the orient express is stunning to me bc it was one of the first films i remember seeing and has always held a special place in my heart.
Her film Autumn Sonata is all-time for me!
Keep the classic video salutes coming and keep bringing back Cody! Bergman's the kind of star they talk about when they say, The don't make'em like that anymore.
I'm in the minority but I'm not a fan of Double Indemnity and Barbara Stanwyck.
Her nomination for For Whom the Bells Tolls instead of Casablanca makes sense in the context of the Oscars. Of all the acting categories Best Actress is the one that correlates with Best Picture the least. Look at who won that year: Jennifer Jones for playing someone religious. Ingrid Bergman also played a religious character in For Whom the Bell Tolls. Casablanca is a war movie with something to say. That wasn't something women got nominated for often. No, if women got nominated for war movies, it was always for some propaganda bullshit not the important stuff and especially not in lead.
Neither am I .I was starting to think it was just me. The best part of the film is Edward G.Robbison.
In '43 I think I do go Jennifer Jones over Bergman for Casablanca, and in '78 I go Geraldine Page over her in Autumn Sonata...but in '46 she should have easily won for Notorious.
as much as I love and respect Ingrid Bergman's work (Autumn Sonata is my favourite of her performances), I find it a bit unfair for her to have 3 Oscars when legends like Garbo, Stanwyck, Irene Dunne (add Glenn Close in there for good measure) never won an Oscar.
I really think should have a 4th award for Autumn Sonata. It’s easily one of the most introspective roles she’s ever done. She disappears into it and gives us a performance which is so modern and so characteristic it gives me goosebumps. I think it knocks Katherine Hepburn’s wins in guess who’s coming to dinner and On Golden Pond out of the park.
I don’t commonly disagree with Brian’s opinion, but this is a rare occasion where I do. I love both of her first two wins and don’t doubt the legitimacy of those wins compared to the competition
My absolute favorite performance of hers is The Bells of St. Mary's
For whom the bell tolls is not as good as Casablanca, but Ingrid ´s performance was way better than the other.
I first saw MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS on a big screen during its original release, and while I too found it somewhat slow-paced, Ingrid Bergman gave a truly memorable and surprising performance. My family and I were riveted by her big scene with Albert Finney. Sometimes when we see films on our laptops or TVs, we lose sight of the fact a star of Bergman's magnitude can best be appreciated on a large movie screen. At the time, we weren't immersed in the trajectory of her career -- only the fact this great actress was stealing the movie from an all-star cast.
Brian I love your videos. Two comments to make, first my jaw hit the floor when both you and Cody suggested that Orient Express was a bore and a slog. OMG! It’s so good! It’s funny, and suspenseful (if you don’t know the ending), beautiful to look at, gripping…I do believe it’s a bit talky but that shouldn’t equate to boring. Try the Kenneth Branagh remake… now THAT’S a slog! That said, everyone gets an opinion and it’s valid. Disappointed you didn’t like it more. Also, Bergman didn’t deserve the win. Lauren Bacall was far more interesting in Orient Express.
Second, my jaw hit the floor when Cody suggested that supporting roles don’t need to have anything to do they are supporting roles. That’s a ridiculous thing to say. Most times the supporting roles are the juicier, funnier more exciting roles. I doubt viewers would agree nominees and winners like Jennifer Hudson, Allison Janney, Octavia Spencer, Viola Davis, Monique, Catherine Zeta Jones…etc… would be considered as having “nothing to do” in their supporting role and that’s what we should expect from a supporting role. Cody shouldn’t bristle at the comment people make that they “had nothing to do”…. He should bristle at the idea that people get nominated for roles that GAVE them nothing to do. There.. I’m off my soapbox now. 😊
My top four supporting actress wins are Catherine Zeta -Jones ,Octavia Spencer ,Olympia Dukakis and Marisa Tomei. I think it can go both ways a smaller role sometimes stands out but I agree there are also the funnier,juicer roles ( I like the way you say it!)that pop out you remember them .
Good video and just to counter what you guys said about Bette davis role in Skeffington it wasn't her worst nomination The star was
Omg was going to comment this, agreed, I haven't seen Skeffington but The Star was terrible, I hope they'll review Bette Davis next, she should also have three Oscars.
I actually like all of her Oscar wins. The biggest problem with her Orient Express win is that I think her co-star Lauren Bacall gives a better performance. It's wild that Bacall's first and only nomination came in the 90s.
The new film in 2017 is much better and has much better acting in it.
Gaslight is one of my all time favorite movies!
That was my mom's favorite movie too.
Cody should refrain from commenting on performances he hasn't seen. His declaration that Bette Davis' nomination for Mr. Skeffington "was her weakest" - while admitting he hadn't seen the movie - is ludicrous. Her AND Claude Rains nominations for this movie were well deserved.
I didn't think Gaslight was Ingrid's finest hour - and the award should have gone to Barbara Stanwyck. As I think most would agree that Notorious should have been the Oscar win.
Yul Brynner was in both King and I and Anastasia.
I always thought that she was worthy of at least an Oscar nomination for her role as Dr. Petersen in Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound (1945), which came out a year after Gaslight.
and her work with Rossellini. Stromboli is great, as is Europe '51 and especially Journey to Italy imo.
Totally disagree with you. She deserved every win, including the others already mentioned (Casablanca, For Whom the Bells Toll, Notorious). Also should have won for Autumn Sonata!
Cody's takes are usually horrible (I don't even remember Talia Shier in the Godfather Part II 🙄) but he's always entertaining. Lol
Brian, when you were imitating Ingrid Bergman during the 1969 Oscar presentation, I had to laugh out loud. You were so good, but also sooo gay!
I requested this forever ago. I’m glad to see you cover it. Love your videos.
Why? Brian...
because she was TALENTED.....
You really don't remember Talia Shire in Godfather Part 2?? The scene where she begs for her brother's life in front of Al Pacino is just incredible.
Cody's take is just ridiculous
I don't either
