Breaking Down The Marisa Tomei Oscar Rumor
Did Tomei really win an Oscar for her breakthrough performance? Was the award actually intended forVanessa Redgrave, nominated that year for Howards End? Did the Academy launchamassive cover-up to hide their biggest blunder? There is one major problem with this rumor, still circulating
today, namely, you can’t doubt the accountants. The venerable
representatives from Price Waterhouse (those buttoned-up individuals
trotted out onstage at every Oscar ceremony) take their
responsibilities very seriously.
