I'm glad that there are people that agree with me that Judy Garland's performance felt more deserving of an Oscar than Grace Kelly's.
I think there are numerous reasons why Judy lost the Oscar. First, I think whichever actress deglamorized themselves from their onscreen and public persona was probably taken more seriously as a contender. Second, A Star is Born was edited down from its premiere version, which ran at 182 minutes, to 154 minutes in which some of Judy's best scenes were cut. The third reason is speculation on my part in which Judy had a bad reputation within Hollywood for being difficult to work with and holding up production on her films.
