Yes, not just tears but snot. Amazing scene, in a long unbroken take.

Came on TCM very late last night.
I'm not a big fan of the movie, but Fonda, wow.
Deserved win.

i thought the one of last scenes with her psychiatrist, when she tries to explain her sabotaging her relationship with Klute was pretty amazing, that and the first seduction (as well as the gutsy scene of her crying at the end) probably won her the Oscar.

Oh, definitely!
As good as she was scene-to-scene, the scene with the killer and tape recorder playing is terrifying and she plays it perfectly.
I thought this scene nailed her win down.

She certainly did. Definitely her most complex and fascinating performance in a film period.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

The Oscars is overrated and meaningless self congratulatory garbage in an all exclusive club where the “winners” are picked on bias and not performance.
Jane is a terrible “actress” just like dear old and dead dad Henry.

She did. The award winning moment was when snot dripped down her nose while she was crying.

She was so good. She should have received an academy award, but the stain of her Vietnam name faux pas still clung to her.
If you can’t say something nice, say something clever but devastating.

No she did win. Didn't she? I have to Google it but I am sure that I saw video of her accepting the award.

Yes, she did. At that point people hated her. My error.
