I think she got robbed because some people were jealous of tarantino. so they held it against the cast especially the lovely pam grier. showing again awards are just about the work. but the brownnosing.

I think you are all over the top about Jackie Brown, Pam was good in it and I am a fan of Quentin but she wasn't really that great. Not to win an oscar anyway.
I understand why everybody prefers "Jackie Brown" over "As good as it gets", but Helen Hunt did a great job there.
We love Pam, she is very cool and we hope to see her on many more movies, but she is a female Bruce Willis. -

I agree, she should have been nominated for Jackie Brown. Helen Hunt, not Julie Cristie won. Both who gave mediocre performances that paled in comparision to Pam's! Kate Winslet was also nominated for Titanic and she was also wonderful. It would have been a tough call for me between Pam or Kate. You know, I am watching Jackie Brown, now and I have to say I'd pick Pam over Kate.

I think you're right Greg, a lot of jealously is what often goes on and around come Oscar time.
Not only is Pam fabulously beautiful, she's a versatile, intense and so gripping, her characters often are the heart and soul of the film.
See what a difficult situation you've created. Proud of yourself now are 5b4you? -

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.
