Babs is looking Fabulous!!! I love Sydney as a Director and also as a supporting actor. I miss the idea of seeing his new work. RIP to a great Director.
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 .
Agreed, that would've been my personal pick for Best Director that year. Though, I would've also nominated Dario Argento for Phenomena so who am I to judge? LOL

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.
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.
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.
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
I love directors' speeches at the Oscars. None of that crying and hysteria. It not all about their ego. They are quite content being behind the camera but the movies are really their creation.
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 !!
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!
Sydney Pollack 150% deserved to win this award! His Direction of "Out of Africa" was some of the greatest filmmaking I have ever seen!! "Out of Africa" is a cinematic delight; due in part from Sydney Pollack's phenomenal directing and Meryl Streep's incredible performance!! "Out of Africa" is a beautifully shot and directed film that 150% deserved to win Best Picture!!
This is how I would've ranked the Best Director Nominees that year: 1. Sydney Pollack- "Out of Africa" 2. Akira Kurosawa- "Ran" 3. Peter Weir- "Witness 4. John Huston- "Prizzi's Honor" 5. Hector Babenco- "Kiss of the Spider Woman" To be honest, I would have replaced Hector Babenco with Steven Spielberg for "The Color Purple". I probably would've also replaced John Huston; who was still a remarkable director and did a beautiful job directing "Prizzi's Honor" with Robert Zemeckis for "Back to the Future."
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.
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?
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!
Agreed, shameful, "The Color Purple" should have won for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay and Oprah or Margaret should have won for Best Supporting Actress.
Pollack deserved to win for Tootsie, but not for this movie. He was the least deserving of this year's nominees. I remember watching this and feeling let down when Kurosawa didn't win.
I'm actually watching an interview with Sydney and Charlie Rose on UA-cam. 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.
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".
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
Parabéns Academia de merda, vi todos os filmes dos respectivos diretores que concorreram ao Oscar em 86 e falo com tranquilidade: RAN É UMA OBRA-PRIMA. Facilmente está no top 10 dos maiores filmes de todos os tempos. Kurosawa é mais do que mestre: É GÊNIO.
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.
@@lexkanyima2195 You literally asked why he should have won this. Kurosawa made a beautiful film which was directed masterfully, the whole purpose of this category in particular. Hence, he should have won the Oscar for Ran.
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.
I realize it is quite randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to stream newly released series online?
Kurosawa thinking "I flew all the way from Japan for this?"
Kurosawa, Huston e Babenco nominated in the same year... Fantastic!
It was a great year for directors ,on egreat omission was Woody Allen's now classic : The Purple Rose of Cairo.
Babs is looking Fabulous!!! I love Sydney as a Director and also as a supporting actor. I miss the idea of seeing his new work. RIP to a great Director.
Only Peter Weir is alive
Babs looks great here!
Akira Kurosawa was ROBBED
Totally
John Huston was robbed!
100% Agree
Literally
Welcome to America ❤ the land itself was ROBBED 😅
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 .
Definitely
Agree. Can't believe he won...
And they forgot Terry Gilliam for Brazil. That one was mandatory here.
SuperRod88 Apparently not.
Agreed, that would've been my personal pick for Best Director that year. Though, I would've also nominated Dario Argento for Phenomena so who am I to judge? LOL
Back to the Future
Any time Streisand graces us with her presence it’s something..
So true!
yes
You think! Especially when shes endorsing BIDEN!

I noticed that
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!!!!
You know you're in good company when you pass by Mel Brooks and Steven Spielberg on your way to collect your Oscar. Wow.
Dang. Barb looks ravishingly beautiful
Awww Meryl

Wow. Thanks for sharing that.
And the best director of 1986 goes to Akira Kurosawa 💓
Sydney Pollock was a great director, but was this his best film???
No. His best film was "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" (followed closely by "Tootsie").
@@klausweasley It's a matter of opinion. Of course, I just happen to agree with you. TSHDT his masterpiece.
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.

Aww meryl is so cute when she gets all embarrassed
for sure~!
"Memorieeees" ahah great Barbra!
Akira Kurosawa. Ran no1
She’s so full of knowledge and speaks confidently. I adore Barbra.
Putting It Together lol Babs can't help but quote from the song on The Broadway Album that Sydney Pollack was on
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.

Better than Kurosawa??? never....
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
Christopher Nolan has never won either and that's a travesty.
@@OscarMPG1 nolan is a hack
@@thewkovacs316 nope
@@gamegladi8or669 yup. his batman movies are jokes.
@@thewkovacs316 what’s the third highest rated movie of all time on IMDb?
People focus on Barbra's nose, but she had beautiful bone structure.
Legendary Barbra Streisand! Love seeing her at the Oscars!
This guy should've won for "Tootsie".
I love directors' speeches at the Oscars. None of that crying and hysteria. It not all about their ego. They are quite content being behind the camera but the movies are really their creation.
Sydney's speech is one of the best for an Oscar award. He was a talented director and actor and a class act.
He had such a good speech
Kurosawa !!
God dammit!!
Steven Spielberg deserved a nomination by Color Purple, Academy was wecking this year
Snubbed
And HOW did Sydney Pollack beat Kurosawa again?
more people voted for him
Bad taste.
very obvious presenter....Kurosawa should win
Two problems with the nominees. No Speilberg for The Color Purple and no John Hughes for the breakfast club
Agree with u on Spielberg but breakfast club was a dumb teenage movie. My least favorite brat pack film.
No Robert Zemeckis for Back to the Future also.
Kurosawa is too cool for that room.
Babenco's disappointment broke my heart
:(
Memorieeees
The prize should have gone to Hector Babenco
Thats how You learn, nominatiom make You work, with all crazy ideas as ou can colaborate to Film or Movies. It's a bunch of "know it all" cartoonist !
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 !!

Blixen, Barry & Pollack are gold! 👌🙏👏👏
An incredible film with all the masters.
Can't believe Spielberg didn't get nominated for The Color Purple
He wasn't nominated in Jaws either.
Kurosawa am Huston as nominees and in the end Pollack wins...Are you serious????
Excellent organized and executed speech!
Thanks for upload

Back to the Future way better
There is one; Best Original Screenplay-1968-"The Producers"
Barbra looks good!
"He... or she"
HE or SHE, that was Barbra’s DISS at the ACADEMY for NOT NOMINATING her for YENTL!
This is how I would've ranked the Best Director Nominees that year:
1. Sydney Pollack- "Out of Africa"
2. Akira Kurosawa- "Ran"
3. Peter Weir- "Witness
4. John Huston- "Prizzi's Honor"
5. Hector Babenco- "Kiss of the Spider Woman"
To be honest, I would have replaced Hector Babenco with Steven Spielberg for "The Color Purple". I probably would've also replaced John Huston; who was still a remarkable director and did a beautiful job directing "Prizzi's Honor" with Robert Zemeckis for "Back to the Future."
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.
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?
I’d switch out Sydney Pollack with Robert Zemeckis for Back to the Future or Steven Spielberg for The Color Purple.
Barbra’s introductory remarks should have been longer.
James Brolin liked this video!!!
Babenco and Kurosawa, wow! And....Pollock won?? Oh man. 😞 Robbery.
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!
Kurosawa was absolutely robbed
Barbra looks GREAT here!
Can you show pedro almodovar winning either of his oscars? Please?
My favorite guy.
Pollack beating Kurosawa... FAIL
Agreed, shameful, "The Color Purple" should have won for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay and Oprah or Margaret should have won for Best Supporting Actress.
And Best Lead Actress and score
Robert Redford as Finch Hatton was a bad casting choice. But Meryl was perfect as Karen Blixen.
Steven Spielberg was snub and Akira Kurosawa shouldve won ( the real winner of ( 1985 )
Wow those are some 80's shoulder pads on Barbra. lol.
Only film that had and should have one ❤ just magnificent ❤
Pollack deserved to win for Tootsie, but not for this movie. He was the least deserving of this year's nominees. I remember watching this and feeling let down when Kurosawa didn't win.
Tootsie against Spielberg for E.T. and Attenborough for Gandhi??? It could never happen. Specially with a comedy.
TOUCHÉ ROD AND THE VERDICT AND MISSING TOUGH YEAR
I love it when Pollack and Spielberg meet.
SS very sexy in the 80s till 90s
I'm actually watching an interview with Sydney and Charlie Rose on UA-cam. 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.
Sydney Pollack. Wonderful AND actor. He is missed in movies today.
Legendary Directory Sidney
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".
Big nominees.
Also should've won for Eyes Wide Shut
Kurosawa. Period. Love Pollack's work he should have won for Tootsie... but Ran! Wow!
I love Pollack, but Kurosawa should have won.
....Just read the nominees please.
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).

Why ? And Steven Spielberg wasn't nominated
@@lexkanyima2195Because Ran is a masterpiece and Kurosawa is a legend, it's as simple as that.

When films were quality work.
Huston and Babenco look surprised but not joyfully so...
such an amazing man
Babenco!!! 💪 Brazil and Argentina!!!!
it went to the right Director it's a lovely film I seem to enjoy everytime I watch it
