I am watching this film for the first time tonight and it is fantastic, but a large part of that has to do with Garlands performance. She is absolutely incredible in every scene she is in, from her diction to her expression to her dancing to her singing. She is PHENOMENAL. I am shocked that she was not given the Oscar, but instead it went to Grace Kelly.
I have seen Kellys performance more than once and it is far from impressive. I am shocked that Garland lost (by 6 votes I read). If anyone should have won that wasn't Garland it should have been Dorothy Dandridge, but we know that wouldn't have happened.
Why do you feel she lost in the end (when everyone was certain she would win) and it ended up breaking her to a point she never recovered?
Also, do you think her version of the role is the most iconic?
