Yesterday was my first time ever seeing this movie. She didn't do anything in the movie. She was just there. Was it that they wanted to award a role that represented the whole women's lib/independent woman thing of the 70s?
But then again, 1977 was an overall crappy year for film.

A lot of time, two nominees in the same acting category will split the vote. Shirley MacLaine and Anne Bancroft were both nominated for The Turning Point.
I would have voted for the unnominated Karen Lynn Gorney for Saturday Night Fever. Laugh if you will at the music or fashion, but SNF was a great movie. Better than Annie Hall or the Goodbye Girl.

I think she is terrific in Annie Hall. I've only ever seen a short clip of Looking For Mr Goodbar, and I'm guessing Keaton was better in that film than in Annie Hall. And maybe that's the film she shoulda won awards for.

Sorry you didn't like the movie or Keaton's performance. But a lot of people did and applauded her win. Remember, too, that the winners are chosen by their peers. Your assertion that there was nothing "awards-worthy" about her performance is all yours and you are welcome to it. Just understand that it is a minority opinion, not one that overrides everybody else's.
NOTE: Keaton showed up at the Oscar ceremony wearing her "Annie Hall-look" clothing which created a minor craze that year.

Let's be honest here, some wins are chosen for reasons other than being deserving. Some of the Academy members have even admitted that they don't even watch some of the movies and performances they vote for. Some wins are disliked by the majority, it's just that the OP dislikes a win that is liked by most people.

Yes, every problem that ever was is because of liberals trying to show representation to people. Ugh.
She had a big year between Annie Hall and Mr. Goodbar. Since Annie Hall was already the big Oscar favorite, she likely was nominated and won for it instead, but the win was really for both performances. That's my theory.

That at least half the time the winners are chosen for reasons that have more to do with politics than actually being the best. Basically the reason I don't watch the Oscars anymore.

Some wins are disliked by the majority, it's just that the OP dislikes a win that is liked by most people. There is some anecdotal evidence (most of it old) about voters giving their ballots to their grandchildren (the same stories keep getting repeated year after year) but there is no reason to believe that it is widespread. The comment about "reasons other than being deserving" is usually reserved for wins by minority (and sometimes women) actors and directors. In those cases I either ignore the comment or call out the commentator.

In those cases I either ignore the comment or call out the commentator. I disagree. Many Academy members have admitted to not even watching certain films. Nobody can convince me that Crash didn't win because the voters weren't ready to vote for a gay love story. If you ignore the comment or commentator than I think you are just being ignorant. The Academy was intimidated into nominating more minorities as of late. This isn't speculation, this is an absolute fact. #Oscarssowhite ring a bell?
