[AngelinaJolieLover]

I have included all the major acting awards from the 70's and you, along with me, should vote on who should have won. You may choose any nominee including the ones who did in fact win. In a week or so, I will compile the votes, and release the winner as declared by us.

Sissy Spacek -- Missing {"Beth Horman"}
* Meryl Streep -- Sophie's Choice {"Sophie"}
Debra Winger -- An Officer and a Gentleman {"Paula Pokrifki"}

* Shirley MacLaine -- Terms of Endearment {"Aurora Greenway"}
Meryl Streep -- Silkwood {"Karen Silkwood"}
Julie Walters -- Educating Rita {"Rita"}

1986

Jane Fonda -- The Morning After {"Alex Sternbergen"}

Melanie Griffith -- Working Girl {"Tess McGill"}
Meryl Streep -- A Cry in the Dark {"Lindy"}
Sigourney Weaver -- Gorillas in the Mist {"Dian Fossey"}

who should have won: This is seriously hard. I think Sigourney was amazing, and I think this is one of Meryl's most overlooked performances, but I'd still say Oscar should have given this to Glenn Close as well.
