Oscar Week: Geena Davis

I'll be posting portraits (doodles, sketches, whatever you want to call them) of some iof my favorite Oscar winners this week in celebration of next weeks ceremony. I'm using the word favorite very loosely. It could mean the performer, the performance, or maybe just the dress they wore to pick up their trophy.

Up first is Geena Davis, Best Supporting Actress of 1988 for her role as dog trainer Muriel Prichett in the screen adaptation of Anne Tyler's The Accidental Tourist. Seldom has a winner looked more radiant.  

At the time many felt that Davis had an unfair advantage over her competition given her large amount of screen time. But whether she truly belonged in the supporting category or not, she gave a whimsical and moving performance.
