SHOULD HAVE WON - Academy Award for Best Actress (1990 - 2019)

The history of the AMPAS has a lot of recognition of true talent, with some of the greatest achievements in cinematic history getting awarded with the top honor: the Academy Award AKA the Oscar! But there are some nominees who should have won instead of the factual winner...  The Best Actress in a Leading Role category's record has plenty of deserving winners, but there's also some injustices that were able to affect future recognition within the same category, in different years. So, I'm going to analyse each Oscar lineup for Best Actress since 1990 and I will present you who, FOR ME, should have won that year and I'll include the biggest snub of the year: that one contender who deserved the most to be included in the final nominees shortlist! So, just have a look at:

The Actresses of the Decade - 60's

For the 60's edition of this rubric, I had to take some time because I did not know the 60's movies as well as the following decades'. And it was a hell of a fun ride! It might sound unfair, but due to my 7 picks only I had to let out names like Shirley MacLaine ( The Apartment , The Children's Hour , Irma la Douce and Gambit ), Julie Christie ( Billy Liar , Darling , Doctor Zhivago and Far from the Madding Crowd ), Catherine Deneuve ( The Umbrellas of Cherbourg , Repulsion and Belle de Jour ) and Anne Bancroft ( The Miracle Worker , The Pumpkin Eater and The Graduate ). The 60's were such rich years for true movie stars...! Please, don't judge me! So, let me present you my 60's biggest female movie stars:

It might sound unfair, but due to my 7 picks only I had to let out names like Dustin Hoffman ( The Graduate , John and Mary and Midnight Cowboy ), Clint Eastwood ( A Fistfull of Dollars , For a Few Dollars More , The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Coogan's Bluff ) and the great Richard Burton ( Becket , The Spy Who Came in from the Cold , Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf? and The Taming of Shrew ). The 60's were such rich years for true movie stars...! Please, don't judge me! So, let me present you my 60's biggest male movie stars:

TOP 35 ACTORS AND ACTRESSES WITH/UNDER 35: 2019

Hey guys! A reader sent me a message stating that I forgot to publish my TOP 35 ACTORS AND ACTRESSES WITH/UNDER 35 considering last year's (2019) performances and works. So, I think I owe you this post! We're right halfway 2020, but let me present you TOP 35 ACTORS AND ACTRESSES WITH/UNDER 35. It's the farewell song for some of the most talented young actors and actresses of the last couple of years, which are those born in 1984: Scarlett Johansson (who departs in great fashion at #1 spot), Paul Dano (not bad at #26, but mostly because of the lack of acting projects in the last couple of years) and Gaspard Ulliel (who didn't made the TOP 35 because of the lack of remarkable works since 2016 and ferocious fresh competition, but he got an honorable mention). They "reached" 35 years old in 2019, so... they are ineligible for this year's works for the 2020 edition next year. But there are a lot of fresh faces with a lot of potential in this edition: Ge
