I completely agree she did so well in this movie and it proves that she can still be the lead actress all these years later, not only is she a great actress she easily matches Samuel L. Jackson as the two coolest african american actors

Great role for a leading lady and the Academy blows it in 1998.
Smart, strong, independent woman played superbly. .
Just thinking about past winners (Julia Erin Brocovich, Hally Berry Monster's Ball) compared to this performance baffles me that she was not at the very least nominated. -

It was a bad omission; if Joe Pesci got the oscar (well deserved, mind you) for Goodfellas, then Pam Grier deserved, at the very least, a nomination as well for Jackie Brown. They were both standout performances.
You can't hold a candle to Gulbenkian. -

Pam rocked in Jackie Brown, and so did Samuel L Jackson! I think people were tripping over Tarantino's writing of the script and that he actually changed some major points of the book in order to work with Pam and to pay homage to Foxy Brown and Jack Hill. I personally think Tarantino did a great job. I think that year Pam should have won!

With no, "instead of" or comparing her performance to anyone else's.I feel she should have been nominated for this role. This is one of my top favorite films and it lead me to look for her previous work and watch her present. As a life scholar, anything that intrigues me to study or research further is a godsend.

It happens all the time. Like with Samuel L. Jackson's performance in "The Caveman's Valentine". I'm really curious about the Academy's selection process for nominations.
Anyone know where I might find such informati16d0on?

Don't bet your children on this, but I believe the studios decide who they want to push for the gold man and they put together magnificent little package folders with the DVDs inside to send to all the Academy (AMPAS) members. From there I do believe a lot of calling in favours and being extra nice to people goes on.
The academy is populated by people in the movie biz, but mainly the older, richer, duller segment. Of course old fashioned cash bribery generally won't work, coz most members are stinking rich, but of course the possibility of being part of this or that upcoming project must move a helluva lot of votes around.
Personally I think the whole thing is about as honest as a three dollar bill.
But that's just me
