1985 
AND THE OSCAR GOES TO ...
____________________________________________________________________

Anne Bancroft in AGNES OF GOD

"[Bancroft] could have looked deeper on the psychology of the character to express the conflicts and the torments."

★★★

Jessica Lange in SWEET DREAMS

"Her acting seems so easy that it’s a privilege to see her on screen, the issue is the lack of opportunities left by the screenplay."

★★★

Meryl Streep in OUT OF AFRICA

"It's a quiet and subtle performance that needs more epic, romantic, showy scenes."

★★★

Geraldine Page in THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL

"Geraldine Page gives in The Trip to bountiful a wonderful performance, full of joy, sadness and nostalgic."

★★★★

Whoopi Goldberg in THE COLOR PURPLE

"For her film debut, Whoopi Goldberg gives one of the most wonderful performance ever given by an actor."

★★★★


                                             THE CONCLUSION                                                

I proudly announce that Whoopi Goldberg is my first winner. Contrary to the Academy Awards I didn't wait 74 years to give an Oscar for a leading role to a black actress . 1985 was a great year, the movies are all interesting, and the performances are all different in terms of quality, so the ranking was easy to make. Despite that Whoopi is hands down my pick, Geraldine Page is a deserving winner. Geraldine's performance is a delight, and even if I dislike the way the Academy sometimes gives an Oscar to honor a career, it was the best moment to honor Geraldine Page.

  3. Congrats from me, too.

    And Derek and Dinastie are wrong: 1988 is all about Meryl! :-) But I would be happy with any of them (except Melanie....)
