Kurosawa thinking "I flew all the way from Japan for this?"
What I always remembered was when he said that he could not have made this film without Meryl Streep. So very true. She was everything.
Kurosawa deserved it just for being Kurosawa.

What beautiful words by Sydney Pollack for Meryl Streep. I watched this movie again last week, and again I was reminded of the 'outstanding' acting by Meryl Streep and the superb directing by Sydney Pollack. Lest we forget the great acting by Robert Redford.

Zeffirelli told kubrick '' you made me dream eyes wide open'' in 1968. He made an eyes wide shut reference 30 years before it was shot or even conceived, that's curious i must say.

Sydey Pollack have act and made film to the end
I saw Barbra, i clicked! Love her.
I loved how he thanked Meryl Streep at the end!!!!
One of the greatest directors. Greatly missed.
Was lucky enough to have a brief conversation with Sydney Pollack in 2007. As a sales associate at Hammacher Schlemmer in midtown Manhattan I helped him with his purchases of a roll-up keyboard and high-end office chair. I let him know my appreciation of his work (Tootsie in particular) and he told me of this "little film" (Michael Clayton) he was going to do with George Clooney (filming a scene right around the corner). Later I learned from a regular customer of mine, a talent director who worked with Sydney, that he decided not to seek treatment after being diagnosed with cancer. He was a gentleman and a great talent and I will always be grateful for that brief encounter.

The Winner REALLY was Akira Kurosawa In hindsight Out of Africa was nothing but a long overwritten travelogue whilst Akira Kurosawa’s Ran was an unforgettable masterpiece . He was at the height of his powers. Fact .

This project was passed on and abandoned as being "unfilmable." To film it as he did makes this one of Pollack's best films. My personal favorite of his is the film Tootsie, a groundbreaker, and because he also acted in it, brilliantly.

No, I just watched it. I didn’t like out of Africa. I like Meryl, but not early accent affected Streep. I find the chemistry between Streep and Redford pales compared to Redford and Streisand

Barbra's appearance was preceded by a short video about film directing, featuring all five nominees and other legendary directors (Barbra was also shown directing "Yentl"). The video played alongside Barbra's "Putting It Together"--quite timely as "The Broadway Album" was also ruling the top of the music charts during this time. As soon as the video ended, the screen went up, and Barbra strode on stage, unannounced.
This guy should've won for "Tootsie".
Thanks for upload

Legendary Barbra Streisand! Love seeing her at the Oscars!
Akira Kurosawa is one of the Greatest Directors ever def Top 5, if you think of The Director GOATS like Stanley Kubrick or Alfred Hitchcock, they never won a Best Director Oscar. I Adore Sydney Pollack’s movie like Tootsie and Sabrina ‘95

An incredible film with all the masters.
People focus on Barbra's nose, but she had beautiful bone structure.
Babenco's disappointment broke my heart :(
The two major occasions Spielberg missed out on a best director nomination Jaws (1975) and here for THE COLOR PURPLE he was bumped by Fellini and Kurosawa !! Cant really complain !!
Better than Kurosawa??? never....
Can you show pedro almodovar winning either of his oscars? Please?
E a última vez que um diretor japonês foi indicado ao Oscar de melhor diretor foi em 1986, com Akira Kurosawa , disputando o prêmio pelo filme Ran! Agora,no Oscar 2022, o feito de um cineasta japonês concorrer novamente a tal prêmio, provavelmente irá acontecer: Ryusuke Hamaguchi, concorrendo ao Oscar 2022 de melhor diretor pelo filme Drive My Car! Vamos ficar na torcida!👍. Até a próxima!

Barbra’s introductory remarks should have been longer.
HE or SHE, that was Barbra’s DISS at the ACADEMY for NOT NOMINATING her for YENTL!
The Color Purple was nominated for 11 Oscars That night..But Steven Spielberg was snubbed by the Directors Branch of the Academy…BUT WON The DGA Director Guild of America Award ..And Sydney Pollack did a Very Cool thing..Went over and shook Steven Spielberg’s hand! Class!
I love Pollack, but Kurosawa should have won.
I always had a mad crush on Sydney Pollack. I had an opportunity to meet him once but was too shy and thought I’d make a fool of myself. Every time I think about that moment, I regret I didn’t tell him. What could make an older gentleman more happy than a 27 year old woman expressing that she has a mad crush on him?
1986 was really advanced. The 'he or she' was inserted in the script.
Sydney Pollack was a class act. This should be mandatory viewing for anyon nominated for an Oscar. His speech was eloquent, humble, and pithy. Miss this guy.
....Just read the nominees please.
Kurosawa was absolutely robbed
Wow those are some 80's shoulder pads on Barbra. lol.
Big nominees.
Babenco and Kurosawa, wow! And....Pollock won?? Oh man. 😞 Robbery.
Only film that had and should have one ❤ just magnificent ❤
Barbra looks GREAT here!
Pollack beating Kurosawa... FAIL
James Brolin liked this video!!!
such an amazing man
I’d switch out Sydney Pollack with Robert Zemeckis for Back to the Future or Steven Spielberg for The Color Purple.
Legendary Directory Sidney
Sydney Pollack. Wonderful AND actor. He is missed in movies today.
Kurosawa. Period. Love Pollack's work he should have won for Tootsie... but Ran! Wow!
Akira Kurosawa should've won this. The Academy had their one chance to give individual recognition to one of cinema's greatest talents, and they blew it.

Sydney Pollack was an exceptionally talented director AND an exceptionally talented actor. Well-deserved award, which he should have also won for 'Tootsie' in 1982, another great film (also deserved a Supporting Actor nomination for that film imo). Please also upload Milos Forman's win for 'Amadeus' (1984), James L Brooks' win for 'Terms of Endearment' (1983), and Barry Levinson's win for 'Rain Man' (1988). Thanks Oscar
I'm actually watching an interview with Sydney and Charlie Rose on KZread. He was top caliber in Hollywood. I miss the intelligence and integrity men like Sydney and Redford...Newman brought. Those times are gone. We live in a cesspool of stupid in 2023.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOVIE EVER MADE SHOWING THE CONFLICT BETWEEN LOVE AND FREEDOM. OUT OF AFRICA.
Once again, a memorable year of good films. I love how Pollack leaned over to shake Spielberg's hand, a gesture of solidarity and respect in light of Spielberg's surprising omission for "The Color Purple".
Robert Redford as Finch Hatton was a bad casting choice. But Meryl was perfect as Karen Blixen.
it went to the right Director it's a lovely film I seem to enjoy everytime I watch it
Also should've won for Eyes Wide Shut
Steven Spielberg was snub and Akira Kurosawa shouldve won ( the real winner of ( 1985 )
What about sydney lumet??
i saw all the movies and ran was the best
It's a lovely film,well done Sydney
