The Oscar Quest: Best Supporting Actress – 1941

Oh boy — 1941 again. Let’s just cover it like this. Citizen Kane lost. That covers all the editorializing that needs to be done.

How Green Was My Valley wins Best Picture, Best Director for John Ford (talked about here), and Best Supporting Actor for Donald Crisp (talked about here). Best Actor was Gary Cooper for Sergeant York (talked about here), and Best Actress was Joan Fontaine for Suspicion (talked about here). Those are what they are.

And we end with this one, which — while it’s not for the right film at all, is a really great decision.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS – 1941

And the nominees were…

Sara Allgood, How Green Was My Valley

Mary Astor, The Great Lie

Patricia Collinge, The Little Foxes

Teresa Wright, The Little Foxes

Margaret Wychery, Sergeant York (more…)
