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.

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.

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.

@PaulAncheta 6 жыл бұрын
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.

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 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
