YMMV / Anne of the Thousand Days

Go To

  • Award Snub: Despite her performance receiving just as much acclaim as those of her co-stars, Irene Papas didn't receive an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
  • Cant Unhear It: For many, Genevieve Bujold's performance is the definitive portrayal of Anne Boleyn. It helps that she's one of the most sympathetic. As of 2024, she's the only actress to be nominated for an Oscar for playing her.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Irene Papas plays Catherine of Aragon, who is divorced in favour of Genevieve Bujold's Anne. It's the other way round in The Trojan Women, where Irene Papas is Helen of Troy, who successfully defends herself against execution and is taken back to Greece to become queen again, and Genevieve Bujold is Cassandra, a Fallen Princess who is to become a king's concubine.
