I think she was joking as she wouldn'...Yes that! I think she was joking as she wouldn't really have wasted her time in years like Music of the Heart or Ironweed? She didn't even go in 1991!<br /><br />I totally agree, looking back this was probably the closest she came to the top for a very long time. Even though I would have placed her no.1 for Silkwood, A Cry in the Dark and possibly The Bridges of Madison County I doubt she was close any of those years.

Haha, we all knew CJZ from British TV so it was exciting to watch her win.<br /><br />I also recall some scandal that Michael Douglas had campaigned a lot for her and had big viewing parties in her honour. Not sure how true this was.<br /><br />Of course, years later I can see who should have won and I love Kathy Bates story which makes it sound like Meryl was a bit annoyed at losing this one. I'd love to know her thoughts on all the Oscars etc - I don't believe what she said about writing a speech for each ceremony though!CJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12937312863597687063noreply@blogger.com
