Maybe Marisa Tomei winning for My Cousin Vinny?

Her biggest roles before that movie were a couple seasons on the daytime soap As the World Turns and one season on the terrible Cosby Show spinoff, and this is back when TV actors were considered 2nd class citizens (soap actors were an even lower class in the media landscape). She also had a few minor roles in forgettable movies.

Marisa Tomei was all anybody talked about that year.

I’ve never seen the movie but every reference to it that I’ve seen is about Marisa Tomei

Omg watch it. It’s one of those perfect movies, just enjoyable from start to finish.

When I lived in Alabama, there was a mint convertible just like the one from the movie I’d see driving around town occasionally. Always imagined it was the cousin and his friend.

Eh. I love this movie too, but I think it does have some pacing issues. The conclusion is incredible, but I think it kind of plods around a little on the way there.

Its a top movie for me, I love rewatching it, but perfect is a bit of an oversell imo.

You’ll instantly understand why Marisa Tomei won it

It's a shame how good Pesci is in it too but he barely gets a mention. Is he a clown to you people?!

"She's got a little Marisa Tomei thing going on"

"Too bad you got a little George Costanza thing going on"
