And The Victim Goes To:

Year after year, Hollywood continues to make films that objectify the image of women in the name of art. This sends a dangerous message to young girls in this country and around the world at a time when they need healthy role models outside their mothers. Kids need healthy role models from Hollywood because it’s fun for kids to fantasize about the limitless possibilities of living in a free society.

If I told you the tales I know of, of what some actresses have gone through to get a job in Hollywood, your head would spin. You’d think The National Organization for Woman would be up in arms over the misogyny that is the underbelly of Tinseltown. But they aren’t, because feminism in Hollywood is now only liberalism. Hollywood and the media proved that in this last election with the treatment of Sarah Palin. When liberal Hollywood gives an award to an actress they don’t tell you what she went through to get that part, they only show you what she played to get that award.

And for what sorts of parts does Hollywood award actresses?

-The first Best Actress Oscar award was given in 1927 to Janet Gaynor for playing a poor prostitute in Street Angel.

-1933 Helen Hayes won Best Supporting actress as sacrificial, maternal streetwalker in The Sin of Madelon Claudet.

-1946 Anne Baxter won Best Supporting actress as a thrown-away woman who turned to prostitution after a car crash in Razors Edge.

-1948 Claire Trevor won Best Actress as a torch-singing floozy turned into a gangster’s alcoholic mistress in Key Largo.

-1950 Judy Holliday won Best Actress as a mistress and kept woman in Born Yesterday.

-1956 Dorothy Malone won Best Actress as a wild, frustrated nymphomaniac in Written on the Wind.

-1957 Joanne Woodward won Best Actress as a woman with multiple personalities (one of which was a prostitute) in The Three Faces of Eve.

-1958 Susan Hayward won the Best Actress Oscar as a deceitful party-girl prostitute in I Want to Live.

-In 1960 Hollywood honored a threesome for their work. Elizabeth Taylor won the Best Actress Oscar as a high-class New York call girl who wants to straighten out her life in Butterfield 8 – in the same year, Melina Mercouri was nominated for playing a Greek prostitute who doesn’t work one day of the week in Never On Sunday and Shirley MacLaine was nominated for her role as the mistress of a callous business executive in The Apartment.

-Also in 1960 Shirley Jones (against type) won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar as a vengeful prostitute in Elmer Gantry.

-1963 Shirley MacLaine was nominated for Best Actress as a Parisian prostitute in Irma La Douce.

-1965 Julie Christie won the Best Actress Oscar as an amoral model in Darling.

-1971 Jane Fonda won the Best Actress Oscar as a fearful, bored, and victimized/stalked streetwalker in Klute.

-1976 Jodie Foster was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role as a young runaway prostitute in Taxi Driver.

-1990 Julia Roberts was nominated as Best Actress for her role as a LA hooker/escort in Pretty Woman.

-1995 Mira Sorvino won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar as a bubble-headed prostitute in Mighty Aphrodite – in the same year, two other nominees for Best Actress also played prostitutes: Sharon Stone for Casino and Elisabeth Shue for Leaving Las Vegas.

-1997 Kim Basinger won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar as a Veronica Lake-look-alike hooker in L.A. Confidential.

-2003 Charlize Theron won the Best Actress Oscar as a serial-killer prostitute in Monster.

Hollywood has also given their top prize four times to women who’ve played mutes and numerous awards have gone to women who’ve played nut-jobs and drug addicts. This year’s nominees are a smattering of crazies, drug addicts, and domestic victims. If this is the end result of a life in the arts for an actress in Hollywood, you can only imagine what they went through to get that hard little golden man in hand.
