Movie Highlights

Husbands And Wives (1992)
Judy earned a second Oscar nomination for Husbands And Wives. This 1992 Oscar presentation is still remembered as a possible "travesty" by some. Ms. Davis was picked to win the award but, to much surprise, Marisa Tomei's name was read as the winner. Oscar rumors say it was read as a mistake, but the Academy denies any such gossip.

A Passage To India (1984)
Judy earned an Oscar nomination for A Passage to India in 1984.
