The year is 1960 and the nominees are: 1. Katherine Hepburn - Suddenly, Last Summer 2. Elizabeth Taylor - Suddenly, Last Summer 3. Doris Day - Pillow Talk 4. Audrey Hepburn - The Nun’s Story 5. Simone Signoret - Room at the Top In 1960 Simone Signoret became the second French actress (the first was Claudette Colbert) to win the Academy Award for Best Actress for a British film, Room at the Top. This was one of the first British films to openly depict adultery and suggest sex was enjoyable. It received an ‘X’ rating and, naturally, was a huge box office success. Signoret won best actress at the National Board of Review, Cannes, and BAFTAs. Her competition was absolutely star studded! Katherine Hepburn & Elizabeth Taylor were both nominated for ‘Suddenly, Last Summer’ - an INSANE movie with homophobic undertones and hilarious mental health tropes with amazing performances from both Taylor and Hepburn. Although they had extremely repetitive dialogue, I would recommend giving it a watch if only for it’s campy value and Hepburn’s fabulous elevator entrance(s). Doris Day was nominated for her ‘risqué’ work in Pillow Talk - playing an interior decorator being deceived and manipulated by Rock Hudson for romantic purposes (lol @ the 50’s). Audrey Hepburn was nominated for The Nun’s Story portraying the real life story of Marie-Louise Habets who struggles with her devotion to her vows during crisis, disappointment, and WW2.
