Absolutely love this movie. With what she does in it I am not surprised she got an Oscar

I will never forget the feet stomping. I had a huge crush on Marissa in the early 90's.

Anyone who could carry off that outfit deserved an Oscar! She was outstanding in that movie - her appearance as an expert witness has to be one of the most brilliant move scenes of all time.

Pesci's response was gold.
This is one of the best comedies ever made.

[Pancito]

She was great, she deserved that award. ❤

[brndnwilks]

God, she looked good in that outfit. Oh, the days of our youth.

People tend to overlook comedies or comedic parts when it comes to awards; they always look at dramas, however comedy is one of the hardest things to do and any character actor will tell you that. This is why most people say Marisa Tomei and Whoopi Goldberg were not deserving of their Oscars. Look at the timing, the facial expressions, the mood changes and the accent and you will be able to see she was more than deserving of this win; hence the reason why the Academy chose a practically unknown actress to win this instead of other famous actresses. Once they get it right, let’s not blame them; otherwise ask Glenn Close.

Interestingly, Marisa Tomei's uncle was a judge in Brooklyn NY. I was an assistant DA in Brooklyn at the time, and was before Judge Tomei many times. He would go on and on about Marissa quite often.

Then, one day, I was in his courtroom, waiting for him to take the bench when his clerk told me the judge wanted to see me in his chambers. I went back to his office behind the courtroom. Judge Tomei was sitting at his desk, and he looked up and said, "ADA I'd like you to meet my niece, Marissa", and he gestured towards the couch in his office, usually piled with briefs and casebooks, but sitting on a hastily cleared section sat Ms. Tomei. She stood up and extended her hand.

She was even more gorgeous in person than on the screen. I stammered a greeting, at which she said that her uncle said I was one "of the best attorneys he'd ever had before him" (a claim I sincerely doubted), to which I again stammered an unintelligible response, finally saying, "well, as you've probably figured by now, it's because I'm so eloquent..."

She graciously laughed at my lame attempt at humor. And explained that she had been cast in a movie about a lawyer and a criminal trial. Judge Tomei said that she would like to watch a real trial, and asked if I had any cases ready to go.

Again I was still so struck by her beauty and gentle demeanor, I made a non committal word salad, eventually promising to take a look at the calendar to see which of my cases was trial ready.

Eventually, I had a robbery case in which the victim had been shot and robbed, and as the hearings were completed, it was just waiting for jury selection.

Ms Tomei sat through the entire trial (it only lasted four days, including jury selection). After each day, she would sit at the prosecutor's table with me and go over the days proceeding. She was particularly interested in witness examination. As many of you may recall, her character testified in the trial.

One of the things i told her that I used to tell my witnesses during prep was that when they were answering my questions, do NOT look at me, but, instead, direct your answers to the jury. I don't know if it was because of my advice, but I noticed that her character in My Cousin Vinny did that, as well.

She sent me a thank you note for my time. Much to my dismay, I lost the note, though I think someone in my office may have swiped it. After she won the Academy Award, Judge Tomei went on and on about for as long as I was before him, and long after that, as well. I never saw her again at the courthouse though I have fond memories of my brief brush with Hollywood fame!

Didn't know she won an oscar and I just saw the movie. She's fantastic in this part, especially in the courtroom. Well deserved I must say.

[OCRay]

Awesome movie. Plus, all these years later and I’m still in love with Tomei.

[EarnestBernz.]

I’ve been told a million times I look just like Marisa Tomei. What a compliment!! She’s fabulous

[davidrosenstein]

She totally deserved that Oscar. She was brilliant!!!!

[larrykemble]

My cousin Vinnie.

[lindamerz]

Love the Brooklyn accent! Makes me homesick...😂😂😂❤❤❤

[StewartBurke-ry]

His reply to her was also great. Now i need to watch this whole movie again!!

[YTEdy]

I saw Marisa play Solome and dance on stage for a reading, not a full play, but the dance was part of it. She did a full split and she's a talented dancer.

[RyanPerrella]

She’s so beautiful! I love you Marisa, you are timeless!

It's hard to believe Joe Pesci was practically 50 years old in this movie - nearly 20 years older than Marisa Tomei.

[princedarius]

She's one of the prettiest women that God ever made dude please marry the girl

[aletatuoto]
