Very Good, but McDormand shouldn't have won!

Rating: Null/10 (28 October 1998)

Fargo is a very good film and ,I think deserved the screenplay Oscar it got. But Frances McDormand, as good as she is, should have lost to Brenda Blethyn in Secrets and Lies. I know it's like comparing apples and oranges, but Blethyn 's range in a LEADING role was absolutely extraordinary, while Mc Dormand's excellent SUPPORTING performance shouldn't have been in the same category as Blethyn. That said, a very good film with an incredible performance by William H. Macy who SHOULD have won best supporting actor! GO figure!!!
