The 1950 BEST ACTRESS TRIFECTA
This tantalizing triple feature is your chance to relive one of the most iconic Academy Award Best Actress races on its 75th anniversary, when Judy Holliday won in an upset over the heavily favored Gloria Swanson and Bette Davis.
Description
This year marks the 75th anniversary of one of the most iconic Best Actress races in Academy Award history. Heading into the 1950 ceremony, critics and audiences heavily favored the career-defining performances given by Gloria Swanson in Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard and Bette Davis in Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s All About Eve. But (spoiler alert!) in a historic upset, Judy Holliday took home the crown for her breakthrough role in George Cukor’s Born Yesterday.
Whether you’re team Gloria, team Bette, or team Judy (or even team Anne Baxter; sorry-not-sorry, Eleanor Parker), this tantalizing triple feature is your chance to relive the Oscar showdown that film lovers still obsess over.
