Conspiracy Theory:  The time…the 59th Academy Awards®.  As is the custom the previous year’s Best Actor winner was the presenter of the Best Actress Award.  In this case that meant William Hurt had the duty to announce the category.  At the time Hurt was in a relationship Marlee Matlin.  Hurt and Matlin had starred in Children Of A Lesser God together and had become an off screen couple.  What if Sigourney Weaver’s name was really the winner and Hurt called the love of his life…Marlee Matlin? Only three people in the entire world would know the truth…..Hurt and the two accountants responsible for keeping the results secret.  Would the two accountants really rush on to the stage during one of the most heart felt Oscar® acceptance speeches and take the Oscar® away from the hearing impaired Matlin?

  1. Congratulations on completing Best Actress Oscar Winners. I have seen 59 of these, some of them quite recent. It’s true that I prefer to watch movies made before I was born, but I have watched certain films because they won Oscars.

  2. Cogerson, i am amazed at how many box office dogs generated best actress oscar winners. this page needs publicity as a newly released UMR page completion. could you add nominees under winners ? it might promote some discussion.
