Performances that probably would’ve swept the entire awards season circuit (Globes, Critics Choice, BAFTA, SAG, and the Oscar) if they’d existed back then?
Vivien Leigh in Gone with the Wind probably would’ve swept, imo. Her performance just feels completely undeniable considering how grand and incredible it is.
I’m kinda cheating with Marlon Brando in On the Waterfront since there were already a few precursors like the Globes and BAFTA, both of which he won, but I still think he probably would’ve swept a modern awards season too.
What other performances do you think would’ve swept the entire awards circuit if all the modern precursors existed back then?
