One of the best rosters ever in the best actress category.

I think they did start doing a yearly show "Reminders to the Academy" two years after this aired, and it made a difference for several years, their championing films and performances they were certain would be overshadowed by the usual late in the year oscar contenders. They really were the most influential film critics ever.

River Phoenix was nominated but sadly did not win the Oscar for Running On Empty (1988) His best performance followed by Stand By Me (1986) & My Own Private Idaho (1991)

I’ve never been able to find the broadcast of Siskel & Ebert’s “If We Picked The Oscars” for 1988. In fact, I can’t even find confirmation that the episode exists, but I have a very distinct memory of watching when I was a kid, and they were assessing the Best Original Song category that included “Let The River Run” (Carly Simon) from “Working Girl”, which was up against a song “Calling You” (Jevetta Steele) from a small film named “Baghdad Cafe”. Someone - prove I’m not imagining things!!

I was just thirteen and was so mad Roger Rabbit was shut out of all but the technical categories that year, that it's permanently colored my perception of not just the Oscars but awards in general.

It would be interesting to see some of these years with up to ten best picture nominees

I remember thinking Timothy Hutton winning supporting actor for Ordinary People in the early 80s seemed odd when I watched it. He felt like a lead. Just mentioning it because of their talk on this episode about the supporting category. Also Eric Stoltz going for supporting in Mask when Cher was going for lead. It was about him! That's another head scratcher. Even Cher was like "he gave the best supporting performance of the year". Maybe I need to rewatch Mask but really?

Kevin Kline may have been billed as one of the leads in A Fish Called Wanda, but he was not the leading actor in that movie. John Cleese was.
