Didn't Basinger win for supporting actress or something

Which is why I said "actors" and not actress. And insult to injury was that Bassinger was adequate but the 3 men DOMINATED (I would say carried but the script and direction were also outstanding). She was the weakest link among the 4 primary characters, yet the only winner.
I think this is a pretty unfair statement, Seth. Kim Bassinger did not play any worse than the three male leads but her character was almost non-existant, as nearly all female characters are in these sorts of novels/films.
I'm not commenting on her suitability to win the Oscar, but you should at least acknowlegde this is a classic case of Hollywood underserving women.
