Sigourney Weaver definitely deserved an oscar nod !!!
She should have won the freakin' oscar in 1998!
shareShe certainly deserved the nomination but I think Christina Ricci gave an even more remarkable performance and should have won the Oscar. Kevin Kline and Joan Allen also deserved lead nominations, and perhaps a supporting actor nomination for Tobey Maguire.
The complete shut-out of The Ice Storm is one of the great Oscar travesties of recent years.
A nod was the very least she deserved. For me she was the true supporting actress of 1997. Stunning work from her.
shareThe scene of the Sigourney & Christina together, with Weaver telling her that she needed to be careful about how she lived her life, was probably the most riveting moment of the film for me. At least before the big death.
shareSigourney & Christina speech was classic. At first she was making sense and then started to babble. I think all of a sudden in the middle of her speech she remembered oh I am bonking your father and go to swinger parties. Sigourney I felt was cold hearted and pretty selfish. Christina was very sexually curious and fixated on that one boy. She actually got him drunk to have sex with him.
