Anne Bancroft wins Best Actress - with Clips!

Wow! What a line up. They were all talented actresses. Love Anne Bancroft, but this should have been Bette's third Oscar. Which performance today do people still remember and quote more often? "but you are Blanche, but you are". 😅

Bette Davis !!!!!

Joan all done up in White/Silver
CLASSIC ☆

Crawford is sooo tacky!

Wow. That is a helluva group.

Anne Bancroft, a newcomer beat Katherine Hepburn and Bette Davis for Best Actress. That accomplishment alone speak volume of her acting talent.

Are we going to get the breakdown for this year?

Stellar year though as good s as they are i'd leave out Remick and Page to have Crawford in 5th and Rita Tushingham's amazing debut for A Taste of Honey in 4th,Davis is my winner Bancroft a close 2nd then Hepburn 3rd,thanks Fritz,I used to read your blog about 10 yrs ago,keep these videos coming,1986 would be a good one or 88,89.

Im a fan! Crush your competition with SMZeus.

Four of the five women in this category are among the greatest of all time. It doesn't get better than that.

What a great year.

Katherine Hepburn remains one of the most beautiful women in the world 🥰

I believe this was a continuance of the feud between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Crawford apparently made a deal with Bancroft who she knew wouldn't be attending to accept the award for her should she win, turning that screw just a little deeper into Bette's brain. lol I mean - look at her smile. They really did despise each other.

Wonderful that Anne won! She was the BEST!! I loved Bette, she was superb. As always good old Kate and her overacting, never a believable actress. Both Geraldine and Lea Remmick gave great performances but cannot compare with Bancroft.

Another brilliant clips montage of the nominees, please keep them coming Fritz. Loved it👍

Yes, one of the most impressive line-ups for Best Actress in the history of the Academy Awards! Can't wait to see your analysis of this particular year.

Incredible lineup 👏 🙌

Surely the last time 80% of the nominees were shot in beautiful black and white (Sweet Bird of Youth was shot in Metrocolor by MGM)

I love Anne Bancroft at every stage of her career.

Should’ve been a five way tie. One of the best lineup of lead actresses candidates in Oscar history.

This is GREAT!

Awesome! This is a great year! Excellent video!

This is brilliant!
