I have come to notice that Melanie Griffith has to be the center of attention, esp. when announcing an award. Here, you see Don Johnson about to announce the winner but she steps on him so she can say it too. Then if you watch the clip where Renee Zellweger wins a Golden Globe for Cold Mountain, Chris Cooper starts to announce but Griffith giggles like an idiot and announces it herself while Cooper looks like "Why are you even here?" which is really my thought as well. So annoying.
Geena Davis definitely deserved this award, the only other actress who I think was worthy of winning was Michelle Pfeiffer. Both Geena and Michelle are brilliant actresses.
Don & Melanie think they are so cute with their little psuedo-screwball comedy double-act. What a pretentious pair of cheeseballs. I think they have grown up since but really, this is the height of tedium and loathsome self-indulgence.
It's possible to praise one beautiful or talented actress without demeaning another with patent falsehoods. (& I am one of the biggest,if not the biggest,Michelle Pfeiffer fan ).
Perfectly deserved. Go search up "Sage Slowdive" who did analysis for almost every year (1930's-2011) Best Actress Oscar and is currently during the Supporting Actress Oscar; look up the "supporting actress 1988" post. Super legit reason why Geena davis deserved this oscar.
She is THE UGLIEST actress i've ever seen and so not even worth seeing in any movies. Seeing the way her big ugly teeth look in this video makes me want to see her get her ass whooped in thelma and louise haha, That oscar should have went to Michelle for sure
@TheScarecrow1988 Why would you feel the need to be so negative & downright vile about someone you don;t even know? And to say she has "big ugly teeth" or that she is "THE UGLIEST actress" you 'v ever seen demonstrates you are not only unbelievably needlessly cruel but that you obviously are also blind & a liar. Geena Davis was (and still is) a stunning woman. Esp. at this ceremony; when she smiles godamn she even more lovely (the dress was kind of a bad choice, tho', imo)
She absolutely deserved this, Muriel Pritchett was a terrific character role and Geena was fantastic. Sigourney was soooo bland in Working Girl, but terrific in Gorillas. Look at the late 1980s horrible clothes.
You're so right. Muriel is the central figure and the reason I love the film so much. The wrong actress could've ruined it by making her irritating. Geena all the way (Shame about some of her other films though!)
@getoutofmyway01 fuck hollywood...they all live trashy lives behind the camera anyways..the fact that she doesnt hide it shows great personality my friend..and not someone paying by the rules
Jeff Goldblum, what a beast. Look at his face here, it's like he's saying "oh stop," and "who's your daddy?" at the same time. Daaaaamn, now that's talent.
@hallowedbeeddie How? She is a fine actress. She also had a Lead Actress nod for "Thelma & Louise", and was amazing in films like "The Fly", "Tootsie" and "A League of Their Own"- not to mention "Beetlejuice".
For EVERYONE that hated how long and "narcissistic" the presentation was, I AGREE..!...BUT, do NOT blame Melanie and Don...,,REMEMBER..!.....,,this is a SCRIPTED SHOW....!!!
@Alfito83 She was pretty much expected to win supporting as the race for Best Actress was definitely between Close and Foster, with Sigourney a distant third. The supporting race, or so said Spanish TV that evening, was between Weaver, the favorite, and Frances McDormand. Geena Davis was an outsider, as if I'm not mistaken she had not won any award prior to this (pretty much like Kevin Kline in the supporting actor category).
Geena has fabulous body figure! Who the hell dressed her up into this ridiculous exaggerated bottomed dress? I hope it was not herself who chose this. Without that piece, with straight skirt it would have been a very good dress. Pity.
@joycollector I agree. Sigourney Weaver should have won. She is such a great actress and for her to not have an Oscar in her hands is such a shame on the members of the Academy. The Members of the Academy make such absurd choices. The never put credit where it REALLY belongs!!!!
This was a BIG DEAL to the audience, seeing them appear on the stage. They were the hot couple of the time, getting back together. I hate these cheesy, unfunny jokes.
I'm so glad that she didn't stop smiling as she went to get the award, that's exactly what I'd be like. I would be like Muriel walking down the aisle.
Anyway, to cut Griffith and Johnson some slack, I remember the presentation by couples that year were particularly long. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell also talked about not being married yet for quite some time before awarding the Best Director Oscar, so did Roger Moore, Michael Caine and Sean Connery prior to Kevin Kline's win.Cher presented Best Picture at 300 km/h, though.
She is so Beautiful & Humble! I saw her in Person Once, She's gotta be 5'12" Tall! Congratulations!
