Late Night With Carrie (1976)




Carrie, Brain del Palma's 1976 horror triumph, was actually nominated for two high ranking Oscars.  To my knowledge this was the first time since The Exorcist that a horror film was even up for consideration.  It didn't win unfortunately, but both Sissy Spacek (Carrie) and Piper Laurie (Carrie's mother) were nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role and Supporting Role respectively.  In my opinion Spacek should have walked away with it!
