The main theme "Every Road Leads Back To You" written by Diane Warren should have gotten a best song nomination. At least Bette scored an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for "For The Boys".

A great movie that went unnoticed by the American public and thankfully acknowleged by her peers. A time piece that travels through many wars with a poignant message. The soundtrack also travels through those times with great success. One of my favorite soundtracks.

No, I think the poor public/critical response to the film hit her hard. It's tough seeing her crack particularly as we're so used to seeing her laugh.

I love that Bette was nervous, it came from the heart, she is a ball breaker, but goddamn she can break my balls any day......I honestly think of all the projects Ms. Midler has worked on, this was the closest to her heart. Although I haven't seen it, I could see her in New York, New York with Robert De Niro.

Robert Baldwin, please get the movie & watch it, I loved it, yes she is great in it,

For the boys is my favorite movie of all time. As i was 12 years old begging my older brother to not change the channel because of Bette, he was furious but said oki. And i got to watch the movie then later bougth on amazon with some other oldies from her.

I saw "For The Boys" several times in theaters! Well deserved Bette!

When I was a little girl I saw Ms. Midler at a restaurant in Dallas Texas but I was too afraid to speak to her. Then when I was 18 I finally met The Devine Miss M. I had 8 long years of regret for not speaking the first time and it wasn't slipping through my fingers that time so I spoke to her. Ms. Midler was so gracious, so beautiful, and so glamorous. Truly the nicest celebrity (besides B.B. King) I have ever met and I've met quite a few now at age 45. Ms. Midler has always been my 2nd favorite actress after Bette Davis. I hope to meet her again one day but I doubt lightening will strike a third time but you never know. But at least when I'm old and drinking my dinner through a straw I won't regret not speaking to one of the most talented actresses known to man.

I LOVED For The Boys. Still do! I have it on dvd!

I loved For the Boys. Saw it in the theater. I remembered it being popular and the soundtrack was flying out the door. Tough category with all those actresses that are now considered legendary and iconic today. And Michelle Pfeiffer, wow, absolutely stunning.

I loved "For the Boys." I never understood why it didn't go better. I, personally, think that it was The Divine Miss M's best work and James Caan was truly marvelous.

I loved it too, but at this point, Bette Midler was not the box office draw she was during her amazing run between _Down and Out in Beverly Hills_ all the way to _Beaches_ . A lot of people forget that she was, at one point, one of Hollywood's top female box office attractions.

Holy fucking shit how beautiful did Michelle Pfeiffer look?

All the actresses nominated were in movies that, in my opinion, have been greatly underrated and almost forgotten. _Switch, For The Boys, The Addams Family, Fried Green Tomatoes_ , and the criminally underappreciated _Frankie & Johnny_ ...what a wonderful collection of films that not a whole lot of people remember. And yes, I know that both _Fried Green Tomatoes_ and _The Addams Family_ were box office hits, but do people ever talk about them anymore? So sad.

First time seeing this clip. True, an underrated film - for many reasons. One of Bette's best acting roles, and, VERY close to her heart. Watching the nominees, the talent and natural beauty from the women in that day - classic and true. Today's shlock can't find those women's shadows.

Just adore BETTE!

Oh I loved For the Boys. I never realised she got an award for it, I thought it was one of those unappreciated beauties.

I believe Mark Rydell also directed her in The Rose so she came full circle with him. Bette’s also said For The Boys was one of the few films she’s made that she’s truly proud of. I could be wrong but it seems like Hollywood has never really known what do with Bette, if she’d been around in the 40’s with her brassy personality she would’ve been the absolute queen of musicals and comedies at MGM.

How come the only award not shown from 1992 is Oliver Stone for Best Director for "JFK"? Is it because of "controversial" remarks he made? "A terrible lie was told to us 28 years ago. I hope that this film can be the first step in righting that wrong."

If "For the Boys" was NOT produced by Midler's company I think it would have won an academy award. It was a very underrated film, but Midler and co. made a lot of mistakes--the schlocky old age makeup and their unwillingness to take a graphic stance against the war. It was a good film in spite of itself--I just wish it had more of a point and didn't rely on movie-of-the-week theatrics.

No honey. The Golden Globe is given by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, who are journalists who cover American films and television for their markets back home in their countries. The Academy Award or “Oscar” is a totally different award (that sometimes goes to the same recipients in the motion picture categories as the Golden Globe) but is given by the motion picture academy whose voting members are professionals in the film industry.
