I've always enjoyed Shelley Winters, and I don't think this is a controversial opinion given her body of work and the two Oscars she won during her long career. She's magnetic on screen; you're drawn to her to the detriment of her co-stars (sorry Frank, but I wasn't paying an inch of attention to you whenever you shared the screen with Shelley). It's always nice to see her get recognition because her screen career was important and should be studied!
