Little Women competed against Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction, not Schindler’s List.
That Best Actress category was quite weak, no? Only Wynona’s perf has stood the test of time.
You're right, @manhn; I updated the link.
And yeah, that was a hella weak year for Best Actress. I think Jessica Lange wound up winning that year, essentially getting an Oscar Lifetime Achievement award (which was overdue, based on some amazing past roles for her).
I do kind of wish Winona could have won, though. I wonder if it would have made a difference at all in the downward spiral that her career went into soon after Little Women. (Part of the emotional impact of 1994 LW for me is loving her so much in it, and mourning the lost years that came after that, before she finally righted the ship recently.)
