 Lady Sings the Blues (1972)

Diana Ross was nominated in the lead actress category for her brilliant portrayal of Blues and Jazz singer Billy Holiday aka "Lady Day". It does not matter which actress won for 1972, Diana Ross gave the best performance. The moving and shocking scene where she and her man Louis (Billy Dee Williams) are at home and Billy needs her “fix” real bad. Louis is aware and tries to keep the drugs from her. Billy freaks out and attacks Louis, and finally pulls a razor on him. She was willing to kill him to get to her drugs. Billy Holiday’s huge talent and life were destroyed by heroin, and Diana Ross made you feel her pain.
