It’s the Alternative Oscars! AKA the Anders and Adam-emy Awards: Each episode we pick a different year in Oscars history and attempt to correct the record, stripping the undeserving of their garlands while recognizing those who were cruelly overlooked. This time, we will be casting our eye back to… the 58th Academy Awards. It was held March 24 1986 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, California and hosted by Alan Alda, Robin Williams and Jane Fonda. The big winner that night was Sydney Pollack's sprawling love story epic Out of Africa starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. It won 7 Awards including Best Picture and Best Director, over films like Steven Spielberg's The Colour Purple and Akira Kurosawa's Ran, a favourite of ours.
