Would she have won for the Oscar Chocolat?
These 2 films were the only times she was nominated for a supporting role.

She should have won for Notes on a Scandal.
Get me a bromide! And put some gin in it!

I think Mirren deserved her Oscar for The Queen, but Dench would have been very deserving too - as would Penelope Cruz or even Meryl Streep. Very, very strong year for the category, with only Kate Winslet not earning her slot (my pick would be no-hoper Shareeka Epps in Half Nelson) - and that's more down to my dislike of the film.
I disagree that Dench was the worst in her category the year she won. Surely, at the very least, she was miles ahead of the unbearable, screeching Brenda Blethyn.
If Gay Harden hadn't won for 2000 I suspect it would have been Kate Hudson (although she always seemed a 'soft' frontrunner to me or Julie Walters.

The thought of her taking home an Oscar for her hideous mugging through Chocolat makes me shudder. Her Elizabeth in Shakespeare in Love may not be great acting or have too much screentime (although it's hardly the blink-and-you-miss-it cameo some people seem to suggest) but it's a welcome, witty presence in the film. There are many less-deserving Oscar-winners, before and since.

Dame Judi should have won for Mrs Brown in 1998 and Iris in 2002, I have no doubt about that. I can just about understand her losing out to Helen Hunt, but Halle Berry, come on! Although I'm pleased she's won at least one Oscar, I have a feeling the Academy gave her it for Shakespeare in Love in 1999 as compensation for not recognising her the previous year.

She really should have won the Oscar the year before for Mrs. Brown. Completely robbed, if you ask me. She still shines during her few minutes in SIL though.

She really should have won for Notes on a Scandal, it would have been worth the wait. even if there was a tie with Helen Mirren, i wouldnt have minded.
but she could have won for Chocolat instead of SIL.

If she didn't win for Shakespeare in Love she probably would have won for Iris, not Chocolat.

No I don't think so, though she was great in that picture For me Dame Judi deserves two oscars:
Mrs Brown
Iris
For me without a doubt they were the best performances of their respective years!
