I agree. Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman in DMD is one of my all time favorite pairings in movies. Incredible chemistry. 💖

RIP Jessica Tandy (June 7, 1909 - September 11, 1994), aged 85 And RIP Gregory Peck (April 5, 1916 - June 12, 2003), aged 87 You both will be remembered as legends.

“But you is rich Miss Daisy”. This is definitely one of our favorites. Her house here in Atlanta is so beautiful.

Given the strength of her performance, I think she returned to her (acting) prime at least for a while.

I was so happy when she won! She was really good in Fried Green Tomatoes. She was up for Best Supporting Actresses for that film.

The last five minutes of the movie get me every time. This is the kind of movie almost no one makes anymore, people connecting in spite of their differences. When that last scene plays, I cry uncontrollably like a school girl everytime

I think the scene where she is sitting looking out at the Gulf of Mexico and reflecting on childhood memories earned her the Oscar.

I saw this movie Driving Miss Daisy for the first time! I love it!! 😍😍Amazing actress!!! I’m glad she deserved the awards ❤️🎭🏆 very beautiful movie. Rip Jessica Tandy

I cried for quite a while after seeing this movie. My mother had gone into a nursing home a couple of years earlier and seeing Miss Daisy in that setting at the end of the movie just opened the floodgates. I have nothing but respect for her acting skills because she did what an actor is supposed to do... move the members of the viewing audience.

Same emotions here. After losing my dear father it was impossible for mother to continue. He was the central focus of her life and eventually it was necessary to move her into a carefully selected caring facility and sell the house. I don’t think she even realized the transition as when I took her out for visits, she would let me know when she thought it was time to “Go home”. At first those words hurt me to the core but I was advised by an experienced nurse that she had transitioned and made that place ‘home’. Thank God for that.

One of my favorite films ever ! The story of their friendship is beautiful. Oscar performances by all.

Staying true to her character she represents that type of old entitled thinking where her mind and brain do not go to the depths of awareness required to understand the greatness of others in supporting your success or even creating your success... she only knows the constructs of racism that have given her so much privilege and this award speech was the crowning moment for that privilege of course she's not going to think Morgan Freeman because in her mind she deserves this award and the unsung heroes have to go unsung and unseen.

Four years later after doing MacBETH on stage with Olivier, with 4 Best Oscars between them, they couldn’t get backing for a film version.

The wonderful thing about film is that you don’t have to miss her talent, although she isn’t with us. Great talent always lives on and inspires us all. FRIED GREEN TOMATOES is a masterpiece and she is amazing in it. And so different than Driving Miss Daisy. And often overlooked because people think it’s a sci-Fi film is COCOON. All these films deal with how you live your life being the most important thing. And in each she is a totally different person (Cocoon is also wonderful because her husband is in it). Most people don’t realize that she was gravely ill when she made all these films. She wasn’t supposed to be working. But she felt she has something else to say. And these ended up being her biggest films and most beloved. And in her 80s. Watch those other two films so you can laugh and cry and have the best time.

I suspect many, many more people than me would disagree. Michelle was lovely; she could sing and use her beauty to charm men, but she did not have the strength of Jessica Tandy to inhabit the character, which is what real acting is. Jessica won many awards in her life--4 Tony Awards + Golden Globe + Emmy + BAFTA, one of the most gifted actresses of her time.

The reason she calls Bruce Beresford "my forgotten director" is because the film wins best picture and best actress but he wasn't even nominated!

Jessica was incredible as Ms Daisy. Well deserved winning

1909-1994. She was stunning as a young woman!

Jessica was terrific

i recognized Hume Cronyn , he was in a tv movie based on a Neil Simon play[Broadway Bound]

I love “Shirley Valentine” Pauline Collins. ❤

Very much was made that year about the final Oscar balloting whether voters might be swayed by Michelle Pfeiffer in "Fabulous Baker Boys" vs Jessica Tandy in Daisy. Critics LOVED Pfeiffer in "Baker Boys" whereas Jessica Tandy finished runner-up in most industry awards. I watched both films back-to-back recently and I have to say Academy voters made the right choice. This was not a sentimental vote for Jessica Tandy, her performance was stronger. Michelle got to sing and vamp, but didn't have the meat and bones performance by Tandy. Hollywood insiders thought Pfeiffer would eventually win an Oscar when in fact it didn't happen.

Critics had picked Pfeiffer to win the Oscar for her vampy performance in "Fabulous Baker Boys" over Jessica Tandy. Critics and industry insiders were wowed by Michelle's risqué vampy performance as they deemed it a bolder choice. But this was also somewhat a career achievement award for Jessica so Michelle had no chance. Crying shame about Beresford being left out for Best Director.

Is that Mr Freeman helping Miss Tandy to the stage ?

1. Jessica Tandy - deservedly won 2. Michelle Pfeiffer - will surely win if Driving Miss Daisy was not released in 1989. It is an understated performance, 1989's critics choice for Best Leading Actress 3. Jessica Lange - committed in the role of a lawyer who has to defend his father, a war criminal 4. Pauline Collins - powerful both in the film and the original play 5. Isabelle Adjani - dramatically inert film with an always engaging performance from Adjani

If that were the case, Driving Miss Daisy wouldn’t have won Best Picture. The movie is nothing without her and Freeman. Pfeiffer was excellent, but the performance is stuck in a downer for a movie. And nothing really resolves itself. Pfeiffer should have accepted the role as Clarice in Silence of the Lambs- which won Jodie Foster her second Oscar just two years later. Michelle would have easily played that part well and prevailed to the stage. Tandy deserved her Oscar and it was nice to see a lighter performance win.

She is still in character mode when receiving this Oscar, and just like Miss Daisy she would not have thanked Morgan Freeman either. I'm glad people like her are slowly being rooted out of society. Racism has no place in our society anymore, nor do its subtle edicts like not recognizing the guy who carried you throughout the whole film in your award speech.
