#62. judy davis in husbands and wives

absolutely sensational, like many of woody allen's heroines, davis portrays the archetypal woman scorned when her husband decides to see a younger, more attractive woman. the brilliant australian actress has a knack with strong, female characters; be it judy garland, nancy reagan, or the disgruntled sally in husbands and wives --  davis was heavily tipped to win on oscar night in 1992, until the highly unexpected marisa tomei was named instead.
