Dustin Hoffman bugs in these old Oscar clips. He seemed to take himself way too seriously in those days. These days he has more of a sense of humor about things.
@ 3:01, Sissy is so adorable. Dustin Hoffman announces her name and she claps, then she gets this look on her face that's like "Wait, am I supposed to clap for myself?" I think Sissy is such a kind, genuine person. Ditto for Loretta Lynn! I bet they had a lot of fun making their film. Oh, and I also like how the FIRST PERSON who Sissy thanks is Loretta Lynn, which is as it should be. Unlike Julia Roberts, who forgot to thank Erin Brokovich entirely.
Dustin Hoffman is the worst actor i've ever seen in film, but to hear him talk while not acting, is proof he's an even bigger waste of time to see in person. But not to make this about him, Sissy Spacek deserved this oscar and im so glad she won it. What a gracious girl and so talented. Maybe Dustin should grow a pair, appologize to Meryl Streep and work with Sissy and her in a movie. Maybe he'd be recognized again
I remember watching this particular Oscars presentation like it just happened. The Academy sure did their job by selecting Sissy as Best Female of 1980 for Coal Miner's Daughter. She did her research for at least a year before production began.
Poor nominees. I bet that while Dustin Hoffman (whom BTW I love as an actor) was talking for hours, the nominees thought SHUT THE F@CK UP! SAY THE WINNER!
I love Sissy. I also thought Mary Tyler Moore's performance was brilliant and I thought she would've won. But Sissy is also fantastic so I'm glad she won.
Sissy's win was definitely one of the best choices by the AMPAS for this category. Her Loretta Lynn was truly astounding, and not merely an imitation: it was a reinterpretation, bringing Spacek's nuances to Lynn's music. Besides the singing, she also acted brilliantly.
Personally, I preferred Gena Rowlands. Gloria was not so much of a great film, but her performance makes the two hours worth it. I've never seen such a tough actress before.
And Goldie Hawn in "Private Benjamin?" Are you kidding me. Aside from being a horrible movie, her performance in the title role was nothing special.
sissy deserved that award more than any other but even ABOVE her performance was tommy lee jones for portraying doolittle lynn he was amazing!!!!!!!!!
"I started working on Coal Miner's Daughter with a bunch of strangers, and I finished working on Coal Miner's Daughter with a bunch of friends." :) That's so sweet. ♥
Sissy, Sandra Bullock, Vivian Leigh (twice), Susan Sarandon, and whomever else I am forgetting right now all portrayed southern belles when they won their awards. Viv, won 4 playing belles twice! Coincidence?
Interesting that she didn't thank Levon Helm, who played her father. I typically don't analyze who people do and do not thank in their acceptance speeches, but since she named a bunch of people, it seemed odd to leave him out. Regardless, her portrayal is one of my all-time favorites and she SO deserved this award.
I don't know why Mary was in best actress category when her role was clearly a supporting role. Never seen Cole Miner's daughter, but I know Sissy is a great actress. But my goodness, Dustin Hoffman! I thought that man was going to talk forever and ever. I like him, but that was one loooong intro into nominees of Best Actress Category.
ramble ramble ramble Dustin!! Lord... Anyways Sissy is EVERYTHING! ALL talent. MTM looks super p*ssed lol and sports the fakest smile after she didnt hear her name as the winner.
Thank you for posting this!!! I love love love Sissy Spacek and I watch CMD every weekend it airs on TV Guide Network, literally! Shouts out to Goldie Hawn who looked absolutely adorable in the audience.:)
It was a foregone conclusion that Sissy would win! She won every other preliminary award that year and is the only actress in history to win the coveted "New York Film Critic's Award" four times!! Not even Meryl Streep or Katharine Hepburn has done that. Sissy Spacek was above all the rest that year. Mary Tyler Moore was good but it was more like a supporting character. The movie "Ordinary People" was clearly about the son. The other actresses were great but none stood a chance with Sissy.
@larkpraise I so agree with you about ORDINARY PEOPLE. Strange Timothy Hutton won for Supporting Actor even though the movie was mainly about him, though truth be told he didn't stand a chance against Robert DeNiro in RAGING BULL. But Mary Tyler Moore was clearly Supporting. As good as Mary was, Sissy was in practically every frame of COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER, thus making her the best Leading Actress of that year. And she was excellent to boot.
She did Great in Coal Miners Daughter and deserved that Award but Tommy Lee Jones deserved something to. I Love You Loretta Honey All 50 Years Of You.
when i look back at all these movies at the time and the actresses selected sissy spacek blew them away...she showed a very human and innocent way of things in her chracter...hawn to me is what aniston is today (plays air heads) ellen burstyn to me is just scary and cold....the others are easily forgoitten when you look back over 30 years coal minners daughter was then and still is a solid movie about music, self worth, and finding yourself which are things at 37 im still trying to figure out!
@sprintbass I totally agree with your comment @ Sissy Spacek. She's always had this innocence about her. Probably why her Carrie White is so sympathetic. But you say Ellen Burstyn is "scary and cold"??? Ellen Burstyn radiated goodness and warmth in "Resurrection". Are you sure you didn't mean Mary Tyler Moore, who is ice-cold scary as the unloving, unforgiving mother in "Ordinary People"?
A strong year, yes a deserved win, I think she sang her own songs? Personally I preferred Gena Rownalds in GLORIA. My word, doesn't Dustin ramble on and on and on and fluff his lines!!!
Pls excuse me if I missed it, but doesn't it seem odd that she didn't thank Levon Helm with all of the other cast members in her speech? He played the father and in the beginning of the movie, he casts a long shadow. Hmm.
Anyway, I love Sissy and was so excited she won here.
I expected a long time, maybe mora than 10 yeas, for watching this momento. Awsome, Sissy is the best ands she must´ve won for her performance iin In the bedroom!!!!!
Amazing year!!! Both leading actors (De Niro-Spacek) won for portraying real people; and both persons (Jek La Motta-Loretta Lynn) were attending the ceremony to share the win. Great!!!
I disagree. Although I enjoy Ellen's films, etc., I firmly agree that Sissy was the best one to earn the Oscar for 1980. Both actors are phenomenal and deserve all awards that they have earned.
@ooks she should've won for Requiem For A Dream too!! Her performance it's breathtaking in that movie and 100 times better than Julia Roberts. Sadly, that was Julia's year, her last chance to get an Oscar IMO. If they didn't awarded her for Erin Brockovich she would've remain Oscarless for a life time and Ellen already had an Oscar.
Oh Thankyou so very much - I've always wanted to see when Sissy won her oscar and now I have so thankyou. She should have got one for Carrie as well. She looks beautiful here but I just wish she'd let her fucking hair down as she looks even hornier that way!!!!
Spacek is one of our greatest American actresses. Dustin Hoffman seems like he took himself too seriously in those days. Those rumors about him being difficult back then don't surprise me.
I love Sissy Spacek, but I preferred gritty Gena Rowlands that year, or even Mary Tyler Moore for her superb turn as the flawed Beth in "Ordinary People". Might be due to the fact that the world of Loretta Lynn is completely alien to win. Sissy is amazing anyway. Oh, and shut up, Dustin.
@zim83 The film came out earlier that year - the film was also a huge box office success - critics also loved the movie and she won every critic movie award before. That is why she won the oscar and she deserved it.
Loretta Lynn attended the ceremony! Wow. Must be overwhelming night for her as well.
I like the film, if not slightly too long on its duration. Tommy Lee Jones gives a subtle performance that goes underrated, as compared to the towering presence of Sissy Spacek in the role catered and suited for her.
Hoffman is wrong about the studio system. Many actors from the golden age will be rememberd long after the actors of today because the studio bosses back then knew their business
sissy is the best! Soo classy and a an amazing actress (but in imo pretty underated overall). Oh, and Mary Tyler Moore did not look thrilled with the result lol. Yes she smiled and didnt roll her eyes or whatever, but her face looked tense when they announced she didnt win.
Like a country girl who comes to a town and eats in an expensive restaurant

Mr. Hoffman is just a tad drunk.

Sissy should have also won a 2nd Oscar for "In The Bedroom"

Wow, if they told Dustin Hoffman to say that....I don't even have words. That was horrible.

So very well deserved! Ms. Spacek put her heart and soul into playing the great Loretta Lynn.

Hoffman is wrong about the studio system. Many actors from the golden age will be rememberd long after the actors of today because the studio bosses back then knew their business

I think she deserved it. But Mary Tyler Moore was also great.

sissy is the best! Soo classy and a an amazing actress (but in imo pretty underated overall). Oh, and Mary Tyler Moore did not look thrilled with the result lol. Yes she smiled and didnt roll her eyes or whatever, but her face looked tense when they announced she didnt win.
