May Flowers, weeknights @ 11:00
Kathleen Turner as Joan Wilder. She's a hopeless... no, a hopeful romantic. What a slam dunk star turn that was. And how galling that Romancing the Stone didn't net her an Oscar nomination. It was deglam and glam in one package. Plus it was super fun and Oscar should remember to have fun more often. Fun movies sometimes have more staying power than dutiful prestige pics. Not all the time but why eliminate them because they aren't serious? Screwball comedies were as far from serious as it gets and Oscar didn't hate those.
The Oscar Nominees that year were four previous winners and one breakthrough performer (Judy Davis)
Judy Davis, A Passage to IndiaSally Field, Places in the Heart (winner)
Jessica Lange, CountryVanessa Redgrave, The Bostonians
Sissy Spacek, The River
If I had been giving out my awards back then, the Best Actress list would not have been 60% farm wives.
