CHART TOPS and BOTTOMS of THE SILVER SCREEN
Dolly Babs Cher
Her Best Supporting Actress Oscar nod for 1984’s Silkwood was followed by a win for Best Actress for Moonstruck in 1988, which made us “Believe” there was life after The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour.
Streisand Babs tied with Katharine Hepburn in 1969 as Best Actress for her portrayal of Funny Girl Fannie Brice. Plus, she
nabbed a little gold naked guy (and an Oscar) for Best Original Song for “Evergreen” from A Star is Born in 1977. Oy gay!
Liza
Minnelli The daughter of Judy Garland made it impossible to ignore that her name was spelled “Liza with a Z not Lisa with an S,” with her Oscar- winning turn as Sally Bowles in 1973’s Cabaret.
Jennifer
Hudson You know that Dreamgirls star Beyoncé had to be a little jealous when Hudson won a 2007 Best Supporting Actress trophy. “And you, and you and you, you’re gonna love me.” That includes you, too, Beyoncé!
Madonna Madonna ac- tally snagged the Golden Globe for Best Long-Form Video, I mean, Actress in Evita, circa 1997. Plus, two soundtrack songs, “Sooner Or Later” and “You Must Love Me” also went gold with Academy voters.
Bette
Midler The Divine Miss M. is 0-2 (that’s from football, right?) in the “it’s-just-an- honor-to-be- nominated” Oscar category, although she did fare better with the Golden Globe set, with four wins under her belt. Plus, she starred in Beaches, so there!
Parton Parton put her vocal attributes to work in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and, unfortunately, Rhinestone with Sly Stallone. Naturally, it would be a gay sin not to mention Steel Magnolias and 9 to 5, but the real transgres- sion is her Oscar and Golden Globe nods for Best Original Song (seven total) added up to zero wins.
Diana
Ross Miss Ross started out with a “Most Promising New- comer – Female” Golden Globe win and Oscar nomination for 1972’s Lady Sings The Blues, and has not been in a film since she tried to convince audiences that she wasn’t too old to play Dorothy in 1978’s The Wiz.
