I mean, they included Michael Jackson, wasn't he only in "The Wiz"? If so, they definitely should have included Farrah – shame on them.

No Farrah and NO Henry Gibson! Altman alumns both.

Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.

I agree. It is very dissapointing. Farrah was not a "silly blonde". Maybe Charlie's Angels didn't show her real talent, but she did made good films. Extremities was very good.

And yes it was noticed by everybody. Even in Lima, headlines mentioned it. shame on the academy!!

Extremities floored me!

P.S. - Remember the scene where the other two women - the neighbors - start crying?
Tears streaming down their faces?
I bet you any amount of money they asked the Director,
"What should we do, use 'Method Acting' or something?"
and the Director told them, "Uhm . . . . Don't worry about it." ...

P.P.S. - - I just looked on Wikipedia - - - The winner for Best Actress in 1986 - - the year "Extremities" came out - - was Marlee Matlin, for "Children of a Lesser God."
Her performance, of course, was FAR superior to Farrah's because . . . uhm . . .
uh . . . wait, I KNOW this! . . . .

Other nominees that year were Jane Fonda for "The Morning After," Sissy Spacek for Crimes of the Heart," Kathleen Turner for "Peggy Sue Got Married" and Sigourney Weaver for her Earth-shattering, rock-our-world, forever-etched-in-our-brains performance in - uhm - "Aliens?" ....

another argument is that she was a MEMBER of the academy and MJ wasn't, which really has some people fuming!
