The craziest thing about it all is that the role of Gandhi was never originally meant for Ben Kingsley. It is well known fact that it was originally offered to Dustin Hoffman, who declined in favor of Tootsie. It was only than that somebody suggested to Richard Attenborough to go and watch than unknown stage actor Ben Kingsley in a play. No matter how amazing Hoffman is as an actor, it would never have worker out.

Iam so proud to hear that "ragupathi Raghava raja ram " in the background....

Definitely a well-deserved Oscar-winning performance. 1982 considered to be one of the best years of leading acting. Although, Albert Finney's Shoot the Moon was criminally overlooked. It is simply phenomenal performance, as always he made acting seem natural.

Ben Kingsley: "I don’t know why I wore a white jacket. I just thought: 'Well, I’m not going to win so I might as well enjoy dressing up.' I got it in the sales and it was a little tight. I went to the barber the night before; I had grown a thin moustache for a stage role and had a bit of hair back then, which needed a trim. The barber suggested some tan for my face; by the time I got back to my room and looked in the mirror my face was orange. Lifting my Oscar, with the jacket and the moustache and the orange face, I looked like a mad wine waiter asking: 'Who ordered the chardonnay?'"

John Travolta looks so handsome here. I just love him. His Oscar will come one day. He deserves one, he is such a great actor.

Gandhi has become a film forgotten in the public consciousness, but remains one of the greatest ever. It's a shame that the legacy of E.T. (how it came to be, I don't know) has overshadowed such a tremendous film. For all of the British actors who the American public lauds incessantly, Kingsley seems perpetually lost in the shuffel, which is a massive shame. This performance remains one of the greatest to claim Oscar gold, and what a worthy actor Kingsley was for the role of Gandhi.

Hey John!! It's okay to smile when you hand over the award to Ben. Damn dude...lighten up!!

5. Jack Lemmon in Missing- Lemmon has a few moments of strong emotional impact, but the script calls for very little of him most of the time. Also I felt there was a lack in a natural flow in his performance. (3.5/5) 4. Peter O'Toole in My Favorite Year- Peter O'Toole is good, and charming as a washed up movie star. His performance is not incredible but it is a nice funny and entertaining performance by O'Toole. (4/5) 3. Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie- An incredibly enjoyable performance by Hoffman here. He makes sure every joke hits home with his terrific comedic timing. He makes the film also believable despite playing a man playing woman. Many scenes could have come off as just odd, by Hoffman makes them humorous, and also adds even more with the oddly poignant transformation caused by being a woman for awhile. (4.5/5) 2. Ben Kingsley in Gandhi- Kingsley is quite good in the challenging role of Gandhi. He always seems completely authentic as Gandhi, in every scene and at every age. I never once doubted him as Gandhi, which is a spectacular achievement by Kingsley. (4.5/5) 1. Paul Newman in The Verdict- Newman gives a full portrait of a man from being tired and broken down, but slowly growing toward a redemption of sorts. I personally finds this performance to be an outstanding and powerful performance which is incredibly true and authentic. A heartbreaking performance which may not have the technical challenges of Kingsley and Hoffman's characters, but Newman is the who made Galvin a truly empathetic man to me which is something a performance rarely does for me, but this one did completely. (5/5)
