The Los Angeles Times has an interesting poll today asking, who was Oscars sorest loser? There are many to choose from, no doubt. I'd have to go with the legendary Lauren Bacall. When the grand dame was nominated for best supporting actress back in 1996 for The Mirror Has Two Faces, she was the odds on favorite to win. If looks could kill, the evening's winner, The English Patient's Juliette Binoche would be spinning in her grave.

His suit was disheveled, his bow to Miss Flanner courtly, and his refusal to shake Vidal’s extended hand caused a murmuring in the audience.
