ANSWER: Eleven years after she won in the supporting race for "Cactus Flower," Goldie Hawn was nominated in lead for a featherweight comic role widely dismissed as not worthy of the Oscars' attention in 1980.

The other three performances pictured in this quiz were all iconic screen turns outrageously snubbed by academy members.

"My Fair Lady" won eight Academy Awards in 1964, including best picture, but its "lady" wasn't even nominated, probably because voters resented the fact that Audrey Hepburn lip-synched to Marni Nixon singing.

Rosalind Russell never won an Oscar, but was nominated four times. Unfortunately, she was snubbed for her greatest role — as the brazen stage mom Rose in "Gypsy." The role is so dramatically showy that it usually nabs awards attention. On Broadway, Angela Lansbury (1975), Tyne Daly (1990) and Patti LuPone (2008) won Tonys and Ethel Merman (1960) and Bernadette Peters (2003) at least were nominated.

Poor Tallulah Bankhead was never nominated for an Oscar, not even for her career-capping role in "Lifeboat" (1944) that earned her the best-actress prize from the New York Film Critics Circle.
