Yeah, I agree too.  Linda Hunt's performance is among the best I've
seen in such a role.  I liked the movie, too; it was certainly one
of last year's best. I thought it should have been nominated, since
I liked it better than the ones that were, at least those that I
saw.

Tangetially, I thought 'Terms of Endearment' was pointedly sexist
in an obverted sort of way, and for that reason I didn't like it.
All of the men in the movie were portrayed in negative ways, from
Winger's no-good hubby to her wimpy little sons.  Nicholson's
character was the only one I liked, and even he wound up eating
a little quiche in the end.  So OK, flame on if you like -- it
was a very good film from a critical viewpoint, but I didn't like
what it had to say about men.
