How criminal was it that Lisa Kudrow did not get an Oscar nomination for The Opposite of Sex?

She was brilliant. She also did not receive an Emmy for either season of The Comeback. Why doesn’t she have more awards on her shelf?

Couldn't agree more. She was beyond brilliant in OoS.

The opposite of Sex was an independent movie, and they didn't have the budget for Oscars promotion ads at that time, or to send screeners to Academy members. I believe Kudrow did win the NY Film Critics Award.

My guess is she came in 6th in the balloting, which is a shame because it was a weak crop of 5 nominated that year. So much so that it was the year Judi Dench won for Shakespeare in Love which was practically a cameo. I think Kudrow might have nabbed it had she gotten the nomination.

I would love to see Lisa Kudrow and Julia Louis-Dreyfus work together.

Peri Gilpin sabotoged her.

I’ve always blamed Don Roos for the snub.

Christina Ricci was very good in The Opposite of Sex.

R8, so start a Christina Ricci thread. This is all about Lisa.

The whole movie was great, but Lisa stole it.

She's brilliant and really nice. I've met her on two occasions and both times she was gracious and kind.

The guy at R11 was good, too

"You just won't admit it. Cuz you wanna be above all that. You wanna think that nothing that happened happened because you lIke sex. Sex kills Bill. You just won't accept that. Chase this bimbo from Indiana to Chippewa Falls for all I care. Go ahead. Throw away your reputation, your job and your students and whatever because you want Matt. That's, it's your right. Just don't say it's about love, okay? You're an English teacher. Call things by their right name." She had some great lines.

She was terrific in that, as well as in "The Comeback" (both seasons). So brittle and bitter in the first and such a bucket of need in the second.

She was a television actress. This was before they started letting those kind in such as they did with Patricia Arquette. (WHET btw)
