Only a 75% Chance of an Oscar Nomination

With Kathryn Hunter’s win for playing all three witches in “The Tragedy of Macbeth” I did a some searching into how much my esteemed collages in NY agree with the Academy. What are the chances of their choice for Best Supporting Actress picking up an Oscar nomination? Well, in the fifty-two previous years since Dylan Canon first won in NY in 1969, 13 of their choices have failed to get a nomination beginning with Sissy Spacek’s snub for “Three Women” in 1977.

Result: only a 75% concordance or a one in four chance of NYFCC choice being snubbed by Oscar.

Sissy Spacek (Three Women 1977)
