Best Actress in a Supporting Role: Debra Winger, Rachel Getting Married

When 3-time runner-up Debra Winger delivered her superbly subtle performance as Anne Hathaway’s estranged mother in “Rachel Getting Married,” she not only solidified her status as one of Hollywood’s hidden treasures, she also proved that women of any age can convey painfully-realistic performances without reverting to tears (Amy Adams in “Doubt”), pole dancing (Marisa Tomei in “The Wrestler”), or hysterics (Penelope Cruz in “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”).

  Great subtle performance. Too bad she didn't get a nomination. She deserved it.

  Wow I miss Debra Winger. It's just heartbreaking to think so many years have gone by since Shadowlands, and before that, Terms of Endearment---am I missing anything else? She is one of my top 4 favorite actresses.

  She was definitely over-looked this year. I agree with the paragraph below her photo -- she delivered a solid performance without having to revert to the same tired antics they've listed.

  Wow. She's still looking do-able. Where, and why, has she been gone so long?
