Really hope you can make a long documentary about 1953’s Oscar best actress. No only because it’s the only time Joan Crawford and Bette Davis were both nominated for best actress but also for the fact that this is such a forgotten year in Oscar history. I love all your documentaries about the Oscar best actress awards, as they really tell us about what Hollywood valued in women throughout its history.
She was really heartbreaking in this role. The fact that Burt Lancaster played her husband though - really poor casing choice, but I don't think Shirley was a big enough box office draw to carry the movie herself.
The Beverly Hills Have Eyes: Burt Lancaster, in order to expand his acting opportunities, searched for dramatic roles that could be produced by his production company (THE ROSE TATTOO) was the other. Due to the difficulties or the roles, and the unglamorousness, the original stage actresses were offered the roles when the films were made. Both Shirley Booth and Anna Magnani won Oscars. Later stage triumphs for Booth were filmed with Katherine Hepburn. But Shirley Booth was a real talent in comedies, dramas and musicals; she was superb. Hepburn, not much of a singer in COCO. Although it does seem that Susan Hayward got the biggest applause.
Considered one of the top 5 best actress wins. Booth is absolutely brilliant in this role. The other nominees should’ve stayed home lol. I think everyone else but Davis showed up. Joan was part of a past winners presentation and predicted a Booth win. Duh?
I adore all these actresses except Joan Crawford! Shirley Booth gave one of the top 5 greatest performances in movie history in Sheba imo. Id have Julie Harris second in the run❤❤
I am a serious Bette Davis fan and I LOATHE the movie The Star. Shirley Booth always seems to be playing the same person though everyone hates me when I say that. Julie Harris portraying a 12 year old tall and rangy and awkward girl.... still blows me away.
@poetcomic I've watch the old television comedy 'Hazel' for years, and I see ZERO connections between the happy go lucky maid she portrayed in that comedy series to the desperately lonely, beaten down but forever hopeful woman she brilliantly portrayed in 'Come Back Little Sheba.' By the way, Booth's performance in that classic film is still considered to be one of the ten best Oscar winning performances by an actress, in the history of American cinema.
This happened I think from 1950 to 1956 because so many of the nominees came from Broadway and worked on Oscar night and couldn't attend the show in LA
What a line up of lady actresses, all of them could have won but Susan Hayward deserved the Oscar slightly more, her performance in With a Song in my Heart is Epic !!!!!
I'm proud of Shirley Booth I love that movie Come back little Sheba
I loved Sudden Fear.
Shirley Booth was absolutely brilliant in Come Back, Little Sheba. If there was ever a runaway vote, this had to be it.

Wow yes what a competitive year. I'm glad I didn't have to vote.
All of them gave a stunning performances. What a lovely line-up.
whooaaa?! i didn’t know Shirley Booth who played Hazel was an Oscar winning actress!! She’s a great performer
If you want, you can check out my video about her Oscar win ruclips.net/video/5fO5Zg6Tfyc/видео.html
I absolutely love the fact that Shirley Booth lopped off something like 12 years of her age - and got away with it!
I never realized Shirley Booth was a serious actress. Born in 56 i remember her as Hazel- a character my mom would always remind us she was not.
I love them all. But to me it was Crawford. Her performance was terrific !
Love her in Hazel. I think I’ve seen every episode..😃I saw her in Come Back Little Sheba too. Being a old movie nerd I’ve seen all these
Do you have a favorite?
I love the canned applause Fritz! It is hysterical!

You're right about Burt Lancaster. He was too young and healthy looking to play Doc.

Love your content dude, keep it up!
For heaven's sake, why didn't the announcer allow the applause to stop before announcing each nominee? And yes, where is the rest of her speech???
I adore all these actresses except Joan Crawford! Shirley Booth gave one of the top 5 greatest performances in movie history in Sheba imo. Id have Julie Harris second in the run❤❤
Why did you cut it off???
To avoid copyright problems with the Academy

@@shirleypena4133 Hazel was a 'character', scripted with mannerisms and punchlines and all kinds of charm.
It was hardly a 'stretch'.
Why the New York double transmission? I believe it happened the following year too. Does anybody know?

What happened to her acceptance speech???
You can watch it on the official Oscar channel; I did not include it to avoid copyright problems
@@FritzandtheOscars Makes sense. I will look for it. Thanks
If Joan had beaten Bette, Bette would have ripped out every seat in the room.
DVIs admired Crawford as an actress, not as a costar or person. There would have been seats left but NO ONE CAN TOUCH DAVIS IN “ALL ABOUT EVE”.
😂😂😂
Lilliy Mae!
The added Clapping when the nomination were read..is NOT RIGHT..they didn’t start truly clapping into the 1970’s…so this is BULLSHIT ADDED!
Well, you're the one taking time out of his/her day for nothing...
I'M ALFULLY UNHAPPY MOM !!
