Back then in 1995 I thought to myself, if they think that’s Oscar worthy why did they snub Marilyn Monroe all those years? She was absolutely amazing at being a silly voiced, slutty, half tweet and much more.
In my continuous belief in people doing the right thing I thought at some point “The Academy” would recognize Marilyn after death with a special recognition for her work in film. Even if just because her work demonstrated permanence and relevance beyond expectancy all the way into 2012 as we can see. Instead adding insult to injury we have a nominee to an Oscar playing that girl the Academy liked to snub in a not so kind of way. Michelle Williams in "My Week with Marilyn" is another sad added note to Marilyn’s career where everyone else continuous to gain but herself. Marilyn who would have wanted nothing more than to be nominated for an Oscar faces another atrocious irony in 2012.
