    I don't quite understand your argument. It doesn't get more popular than Desperate Housewives.

      Whose argument? Mine??
      I was just saying that it wasnt a surprise that Reese won, since she previously won GG, SAG and a million other awards for her role. So it was only naturally that she would win a Oscar aswell.
      So it really isnt important if DH was big at the time, the one with the most awards is the winner.
      And personally I think that Reese was the best that year, Felicity was amazing aswell but Reese was slightly better.

        Has anyone thought that maybe it was the "controversial" nature of her role that lost her the awards? Not every member of the academy is open-minded about homosexuality or transgenderism.

          Been thinking this for years. Huffman got hosed out of the Best Actress Oscar that year!

            Felicity was robbed she carried an entire movie, was a true lead, and delivered a 5b4brilliant performance in "Transamerica". Reese's role was supporting in "Walk the Line" and she should have won Best Supporting Actress and been placed in the correct category. "Walk the Line" was a Johnny Cash Biopic.

                She really did give the best performance and the Oscars are indeed a popularity contest, which explains why Rees2000e, Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock all have Oscars they didn't deserve.

                    I thought women who act wanted to be called Actors, because Actress supposedly implies some kind of second class status. Why do we even have a best actress award if actress is such an insult? Could it be female hypocracy?
