I may be wrong, but Sissy Spacek was nominated for Carrie(the first film I saw her in and thought she shone) and wasn;t that the first nomination for a horror flick?
I have seen her in Missing, The Long Walk Home and several others. i think she is wonderful. Very attractive and vulnerable looking but with a back made of steel. In The Bedroom sounds like my sort of film. however, I don't go beyond saying I like or dislike a movie. I am no good at that sort of thing. Saw The Planet of Apes recently-fell asleep. Thought the original was much better but thenI was child.
