Actor: Virginia Madsen

Virginia Madsen was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Sideways, playing Maya, whose speech about wine and time is the emotional centre of that film, after twenty years of largely genre work.

Candyman is the horror credit that lasts, and she performs a sequence with live bees.

Dune, Highlander II and The Hot Spot fill out the 1980s and 1990s, and she has described the Sideways nomination as arriving at a point when she had stopped expecting that kind of recognition.
