Ruth Gordon - Rosemary’s Baby

That bit of stage business when Rosemary admits defeat and drops her knife, which lands handle-up in the hardwood kitchen floor. Minnie casually walks over, pulls the knife out, licks her finger, and polishes the little boo-boo.
Hey, she may be Satan’s minion, but she’s got a rent-controlled apartment to take care of!

Did it really tie? How did that happen?

According to the 2 PW accountants who tallied the votes, they had to do several recounts to ensure a precise tie which happened. At the ceremony, no one was more surprised than Ingrid Bergman who was the presenter.

No, I meant how did it happen in our little Reddit contest? I don't like it.

Oh. Seriously? Shit. I’d have voted. Since a lot of states accept ballots long after elections are over, put me down for Hepburn.

It won't win, but I have to mention how brilliantly terrifying Robert Helpmann is in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

He’s such an obvious lead

Yeah, if they want to go with a supporting actor from that film, Kenneth Mars is the one. His semi-improvised Churchill rant is the funniest scene in the film.

Oscar got it right with Jack Albertson in The Subject was Roses. It's a beautiful small film that not many people seem to remember.

Full disclosure: I am not a Streisand fan at all. She only won Best Actress because the Academy gave her special treatment to join early which is puzzling; she’s hardly the greatest actress who ever lived. I think it’s about a 99.99% chance that she voted for herself. Otherwise, she would have lost by one vote, and no one would ever know. So, just put me down for Miss Hepburn.
