Blind Item #2

This could be the worst idea ever, or work out really well. Apparently the talk being bandied about for this weekend is that the Best Picture Academy Award is going to be presented by a trio of legendary women who have each won an Oscar. I think it is a long shot. I'm not sure you could even sober up one of them long enough for her to be a part.

The First Wives club?

Tricia13 said...

Ok- this is different!
Faye Dunaway, Liza Minelli(the drunk) and Shirley MacLaine?

sandybrook said...

Jane Fonda, Babs and ???

Derek Harvey said...

Goldie
Dianne
and Bette

Goldie being the drunk

sandybrook said...

seeing Tricia's s guess I'd put MacLaine in the ??? part

Tricia13 said...

I like Fonda in there....

Ms. Anne Thrope said...

Liza Minelli (the drunk), Meryl Streep & somebody

Derek Harvey said...

Bette never won an Oscar

Jooles said...

I think Faye Dunnaway is sick and no longer making appearances. Anyone else hear that?

Me said...

Meryl Streep, Julie Christie and Liza Minelli?

Tricia13 said...

It's been suggested here I think@Jooles. Hope not. Would be great to see her well, and onstage again.

Marisa Tomei

MontanaMarriott said...

That would suggest that the winning film is directed by a woman or about women otherwise I don't see the correlation between having them present the award.

Jane Fonda - so hot right now!
Faye Dunaway just had something done to her face, I think - this might be why.
Others that have attained legendary status that everyone named: MacLaine, Minnelli, Streep
But legendary means something different to me than to Enty.

Kno Won Uno said...

Hey, one of them might be a POC!...oh wait...no.
I don't think many Oscar WINNING women of color have achieved legendary status and are still alive.
We have Whoopi Goldberg, Jennifer Hudson, Mo'Nique, Octavia Spencer, Lupita Nyong'o & Halle Berry. IDK about legendary.

Faye Dunaway looked horrible in the recent picture of her shopping. She looked like an old lady who had facial plastic surgery.
(The key is she still looks like an old lady.)
(When are actresses going to learn: you can stop aging?)

cebii said...

I've heard she's seriously ill right now.

MontanaMarriott said...

Legendary would mean Babs and Liza (for the drunk) I am leaning towards Shirley unless they drag out Rita Moreno as the one POC to join them

just4fun said...

Not being sober doesn't necessarily mean impairment from booze - could be drugs; I'll throw Whoopie in as the stoner.

just4fun said...

..and I'll throw in Halle Berry & Lupita. Which would be a disaster if it is seen as pandering.

Since this is for the Best Picture award, I’m thinking a legendary actress that won an Oscar for Best Actress/Supporting Actress the same year their movie won for best picture? So, that gives us – Eva Marie Saint, Rita Moreno, Louise Fletcher, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep, Shirley MacLaine, Jodie Foster, Juliette Binoche, Gwyneth Paltrow, Dame Judi Dench, Jennifer Connelly, CZJ, Hillary Swank, and Lupita Nyong’o. Legendary status of these? Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep, Shirley MacLaine & Judi Dench? With my vote being Diane Keaton as the drunk – though I bet Dame Judi can throw back a few.

SnJ said...

Oscar, yes. Legendary, no.

Ivee said...

I saw a recent photo of her. She looks terribly ill and like she's undergoing cancer treatments. Barely recognizable.

strangecharm said...

How about EGOT winners? Liza, Whoopie, Rita...

d brown said...

I'd exclude Liza from consideration. Given her health problems she has had to cancel a lot of engagements. I doubt the Academy would take that much risk at a major event.

Cinabun said...

Betting Liza is the drunk. Can't see Babs doing this. Maybe MacClaine & Moreno?

Salaam said...

Liza, Barbra and Cher. I don't know that there are three bigger "legends" living that have Oscars.

Bambibuubzitch said...

Streep, Sarandon, Keaton. Sarandon as the drunk.

Hot Cola said...

Good guess! I would love to see these 3 present an award!

thebutlerdidit said...

Could be any combo of Shirley, Jane, Bette, Liza, Diane,Lily, Babs, Sally, etc., right?

bjd said...

And obviously THIS didn't happen, as Morgan Freeman presented it!
