Should She Have Won the Oscar: Kim Basinger, Supporting Actress for LA Confidential - prayformojo Aug 7, 11:21 16
- I'd rank her fourth out of that group, ahead of Cusack. Moore deserved it the most followed by Driver and Stuart. -- nm - David Aug 7, 11:41
- I think she should have based on the part and how it was played. however, I don't think she's a good actress, really, I think the part was familiar to - amanda Aug 7, 11:25 3
  - Your Boogie Nights comment - I agree. I think she and Marky Mark could have won for that one at a different time. -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Aug 7, 11:26 2
    - Boogie Nights would have cleaned house a few years later.. (NM) - Marlowe Aug 7, 11:27 1
      - totally. it was before its time. -- nm - amanda Aug 7, 11:28
- I'd have chosen Moore, but I didn't hate the Basinger win. -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Aug 7, 11:24
- Absolutely. I see a tie with Julianne Moore as the only other legit result. (NM) -- nm - Marlowe Aug 7, 11:24 7
  - agreed. the Titanic nom there was crazy-town -- nm - Beaker Aug 7, 11:25 6
    - Stuart was good but easily got caught up in the Titanic fever - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 7, 11:29 5
      - Sigourney Weaver in The Ice Storm should have got her spot. -- nm - AJRimmer Aug 7, 11:56 4
        
        Charlize Theron in Devil's Advocate is a good one, too. -- nm - Inigo Aug 7, 12:07
        
        I'd actually probably put Cusack on the chopping board first. - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 7, 11:59
        
        oh word. sigourney weaver is so good in those heavy family dramas. -- nm - amanda Aug 7, 11:57 1
        
        The Alien Family? -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Aug 7, 11:58

Trivia time- today music related: In honor of the Hot 100 Chart's 60th Birthday, Billboard named the Top 100-Hot 100 artists of all time. Name Top 10? -- nm - MDH Aug 7, 11:20 87
- Great job all! Here's the list. I posted to show high album sales/legendary artists may not have singles that charted too well. -- (link) - MDH Aug 7, 11:41 4
  - It's interesting to me that about 25% of this list are newer artists...meaning that the old sales stats for the older artists hold up well. -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Aug 7, 11:45
  - Or conversely, plenty of the biggest sellers are not what you'd call legendary artists. -- nm - Roger More Aug 7, 11:45
  - Also, that country, rap, and certain rock never charts on the Hot 100. -- nm - MDH Aug 7, 11:42 1
    - Yeah, like Nickelback. -- nm - Shaun Aug 7, 11:45

    - Oh, Stevie Wonder -- nm - David Aug 7, 11:39 6
      - Yep - there it is. well done -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Aug 7, 11:39 5
        
        I'm assuming - I don't have the list - but this has to be it. -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Aug 7, 11:40 4
        
        Spawn beat me. Serves me right for posting political stuff on the Falcons board. -- nm - David Aug 7, 11:42 3
        
        Seems like you would be used to it by now. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Aug 7, 11:52 2
        
        You haven't beaten me in like six years. - David Aug 7, 12:00 1

  - Paul - #12 -- nm - MDH Aug 7, 11:33 2
    - Which has Paul at #1 and #12 - pretty damn impressive. Did Wings make the list, by chance? -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Aug 7, 11:35 1
      - Nope -- nm - MDH Aug 7, 11:36
  - Whitney is #9. I'm thinking Paul has to be one from the 60s and your Janet guess below is the one from the 80s. -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Aug 7, 11:31
- Hint: #3, 6, and 7 are all solo artists - all started their careers decades ago (two in 60s, 1 in 80s). All are still making music and touring. -- nm - MDH Aug 7, 11:29 5

      - I'm thinking it's about actual Hot 100 chart success. - Johnny Lawrence Aug 7, 11:29 3
        
        I mean, I really don't understand music and these charts. It's a comment about me. (NM) - Marlowe Aug 7, 11:32 1
        
        Well, it used to be based on record sales and radio play and that was when singles were the big deal. nm - Johnny Lawrence Aug 7, 11:33
        
        Exactly, and no it's not digital age. It's that U2 never had hit singles. They had hit albums, just 6 songs ever made it Top 10 in the US. -- nm - MDH Aug 7, 11:30
