9.  Joan Cusack-My Blue Heaven

That same season of SNL, the very funny Joan Cusack (watch her teenage characters in Sixteen Candles and My Bodyguard) had a memorable but brief season as well. A year later however she stole the show as the nervous assistant in Broadcast News and immediately scored an Oscar nomination for Working Girl. She and Robert Downey Jr. have both been nominated for two Oscars (her other for In and Out). But she has a special niche as slightly neurotic but likable women who will argue with the guys. Few people could do verbal battle with Steve Martin and be seduced by nerdy Rick Moranis, but Cusack sells it in the Goodfellas parody, My Blue Heaven.  Watch a clip on YouTube:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzDy3byWrQY
