  • Summary

  • On this episode of Oscars Playback, experts and editors Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen head back to 1988 to celebrate the 60th annual Academy Awards when "The Last Emperor" won Best Picture and eight other awards in a clean sweep of its nominations, Eddie Murphy spoke truth to power about the Oscars' failure to recognize Black artists, and a contentious writers' strike kept the scripted material to a minimum. Joyce and Chris also celebrate the best films of 1987 -- "Predator" and "Adventures in Babysitting" (sorry to the other great films!) -- and wonder if Glenn Close should've won Best Actress over Cher.
