In 1997 Frances McDormand brought home her first Oscar (current the recipient of 3) for her iconic work as Marge Gunderson in Fargo. Since watching the movie for this podcast I can’t stop speaking in the Minnesota accent (sorry to anyone who has to listen). McDormand definitely had some competition. Brenda Blethyn won the BAFTA and Golden Globe for Secrets & Lies. Emily Watson wow’d audiences with her breakthrough and theatrical screen debut in Breaking the Waves. Diane Keaton was singled out of the star studded cast in Marvin’s Room playing a woman diagnosed with leukaemia. Kristin Scott Thomas was nominated for a sexy affair with Ralph Fiennes in The English Patient.
