This is going to be the first real series to be featured on my blog and that's a pretty big deal, if I do say so myself. In this series, I'm going to go through 13 performances, all of which won Best Actress at the Academy Awards and talk about their merits and while for the majority of them, I will not have seen all or any of the competition, if it was the kind of performance that would merit an Oscar.
The performances I'm choosing to include will begin with Holly Hunter's turn in The Piano and end with the most recent winner, Natalie Portman in Black Swan. The series will not focus solely on more recent films but try to address performances throughout the history of the Oscars. This will be the first of three incarnations of the series. The second will cover nominees in the category and the third will cover those who missed out on a nomination for one reason or another. Then, if I feel like it, I'll repeat all these categories again and again until there are no more performances to cover.
The first piece on Holly Hunter's performance in The Piano should be coming soon along with more on that film.
