Maggie Smith 1979 Oscar

fanstreep Says:

Jun 4, 2009 - OSCAR FOR MERYL. But yeah, she was amazing in deer hunter. I know this is her first nomination, but she was so great. But OK. I mean Maggie was good.

Jun 20, 2009 - Love Maggie Smith. She was absolute perfection in a very flawed film. How cool is it that she won an Oscar 4 playing an actress who looses the Oscar. Btw: Does ne one else think Maggie Smith of 1979 looks a lot like Tilda Swinton?

natyra22 Says:

Jun 21, 2009 - The dates not right on this clip. She won this award in 1978 not 79. She won the same year Jane Fonda won best actress for Coming Home. Meryl Streep actually won the in award in 79 for Kramer vs Kramer.

MDSCFALNM Says:

Jun 21, 2009 - She won the award in 1979 because the film debuted in 1978. Therefore, the ceremony was in 1979.

natyra22 Says:

Jun 21, 2009 - If you say so, but I'm certain she did not when this award in 79. One of the other nominees is nominated for Coming Home. I guarantee that anywhere you look it up it wlll tell that she and Fonda won the actress awards in 78. Sally Field and Streep won the actress awards in 79. Its real easy to find out.

MDSCFALNM Says:

Jun 21, 2009 - Yes, California Suite and Coming Home opened in 1978. The Academy Awards for ACHIEVEMENT in 1978 were held on April 9, 1979. Meryl Streep and Sally Field won their Oscars on April 14, 1980 for films released in 1979. This year (2009) the Oscars celebrated films of 2008. It's not complicated. The Oscars celebrate the films of the previous year. "It's real easy to find out."

natyra22 Says:

Jun 21, 2009 - Heres what I would like you to do if you choose. I want you to find Merly's win for K v K. I then want you to look up at the description of the vid read that it says her acceptance speech at the 52nd ocars in 1979. i then want you to go to wikipedia or where ever the hell else you want to look and look up Maggie, Merly, and Best support actress (oscars) and I can assure you all of them will say that Merly won in 79 and Smith won in 78(AT THE AWARDS). Everybody cant be wrong.

MDSCFALNM Says:

Jun 21, 2009 - I don't why my last two posts have not appeared, so let me post it again: She won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress of 1978, which was given on April 9, 1979. How can you give an award for accomplishments in a given year while the year is still in progress? The 51st Annual Academy Awards WERE in 1979 and that is when Maggie Smith won her Oscar. Meryl Streep won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress of 1979 for Kramer, which was given out on April 14, 1980.

Jun 21, 2009 - Haha ok whatever you say..I'm bored with this.

eliud777 Says:

Jun 22, 2009 - The film was in the movie theaters in 1978, and the Oscar ceremony was in 1979, so my dear NATYRA 22 you're wrong

MephistophelisedHam Says:

Jun 25, 2009 - She was hilarious in this movie.

kaejae24 Says:

Jun 28, 2009 - He didn't correct her - he said - You're doing fine

Steolicious Says:

Jul 21, 2009 - Maggie Smith and Michael Caine are the only good thing in that movie, I love to see her win her second oscar.

alicetheactress Says:

Jul 28, 2009 - Yay for Mags! As a Meryl and Maggie fan, I'm still happy Maggie one...I know, the dear hunter was a superior film and all that but Maggie had me in stitches the entire film....she was and still is a brilliant actress!

musicaltheatergeek79 Says:

Jul 29, 2009 - On the other token, Judy Garland lost the Oscar for playing an actress who won the Oscar in A STAR IS BORN.

TopDog69 Says:

Aug 2, 2009 - Erm, she has won two?

Steolicious Says:

Aug 6, 2009 - Yes, she also won an oscar for "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" (1970)

BillyL96 Says:

Aug 18, 2009 - I love Maggie Smith! A deserved Oscar, indeed!

CherryDee18 Says:

Sep 13, 2009 - Maggie is one of the best winners ever! Penelope Milford was absolutely awful. How dare they nominated her? One of the biggest mystery in the Academy history.

alecs1976 Says:

Oct 3, 2009 - that's not true, jane fonda and alan alda are also very good in this film. smith/caine and fonda/alda had the best writing in this film!

iamthescotti Says:

Oct 8, 2009 - holy crap meryll streep was old enough to be nominated!?

thanth11 Says:

Oct 10, 2009 - she was nearly 30 here!

frankd1965 Says:

Nov 3, 2009 - She is a great actress. A decade earlier she won for Best Actress in The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie in 1969

TMTGeneralDeath Says:

Nov 8, 2009 - whos the girl on the stage?

henrysinaga Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - I'm gonna slap anyone who says "HEY look it's Prof. McGonagall..!!" Maggie Smith is no one trick pony, she has a wonderful gallery of iconic characters, my favorite is from "Room at the Top"
