GH Alum Jaime Ray Newman Wins An Oscar
If you watched Sunday night’s telecast of the 91st Academy Awards, General Hospital fans were in for a welcome surprise when a former cast member took home an Oscar in the category of Best Live-Action Short Film.
Jaime Ray Newman, who played Kristina Cassadine from 2001-2002 and in a few appearances afterward, and who was Alexis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn) half-sister, took to the podium when the film she produced Skin was announced as the winner of the short film category. Newman, was accompanied on-stage by her husband and the film’s director, Guy Nattiv.
Israeli-born Nattiv and Newman told the press backstage that they are already looking forward to the release of the feature version, of Skin which hits theaters on July 26. “We have a baby Skin, and now a feature Skin,” Nattiv said.
As to the subject matter of their Oscar-winning short film, Newman said to the press: “I don’t think we were trying to make a political statement necessarily. In the short, we explored how what you teach your children is going to influence the next generation. I think the beauty of Guy as a filmmaker is he doesn’t pound anything over your head … ‘I don’t have the answers, but these are the questions.’”
The feature version of the film follows a heavily-tattooed young man raised by skinheads who elects to transform his life, turning away from the hatred and violence that have driven his actions to that point. Earlier this month, the short-film version of Skin was acquired by Fox Searchlight.
For those trying to recall the storyline for GH’s Kristina Cassadine, she was in love with Ned Ashton (Wally Kurth), and died after an attempt to find Sonny blew up on her literally when Kristina went to Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) warehouse where bomb set by Luis Alcazar (Ted King) detonated. Alexis named her baby girl, Kristina after her dead sister. Newman was recently seen as an actress on Netflix’s drama, Punisher.

Didn’t watch GH, but good for her. Love her dress. She looks beautiful.
I thought it was cool, Alexis little sister winning an Oscar, she was so excited, happy, probably surprise, good for her.
THIS – is the first year I did not actively engage ??? is it my age ? not knowing who’s who any more ? it’s like watching the grammys … I just don’t see any names of recognition.
I support the ARTS… nontheless
for nostalgia and sentiment… I wanted Glenn Close to take home… Oscar… she has always been in my realm, scope, of leading ladies being featured in my “time”
Jessica lange
Sissy Spacek
Diane Keaton
Glenn Close
Susan Sarandon
I have never liked Meryl Streep
I’m certain their are more… it can’t all be daytime.
Glenn remains the most nominations without a WIN. she has – THREE – Tony awards… get out!
that being said… having not seen “The Favourite” with the Oscar winner Olivia Coleman… she had the best speech… she lauded how much fun it was to work with her co-stars
Emma Stone AND Rachel Weisz. I have to see this… cable wait
Ms. Close I salute your body of work… she was nominated for her very first feature…”The world according to Garp” 1982… prior to ..she had already been working on broadway since 1974. 44 years later to 2019. she’s still afire
I celebrate you
@Patrick…I’’m glad you enjoyed the Colman acceptance speech, but as a longtime viewer of British entertainment vehicles, I have to express true astonishment at the sudden worldwide fascination with this actress. For years, I have watched her in a variety of roles (especially in three seasons of Broadchurch and in “The Night Manager,” along with numerous other episodic UK appearances…) and for me, she has always come off as bland, strident, even off-puttting…not remotely regal or engaging. It totally perplexed me when she was cast as the middle-aged QE2 in the “The Crown,” which I have yet to view given my lack of enthusiasm for her, and then in this film, as well. Given the many times I’ve previously seen her onscreen, I have a very hard time imagining that her performance could have bested any by your dear Glenn!!!! Although I haven’t followed her career all that “closely” in recent years, , I must say that she should have long ago taken Oscar home for her outstandingly insane Alex Forrest…how she was “ignored” for that unforgettable performance is beyond me!!!
