1986: Out of Africa Sets the Template for Middlebrow Best Picture Winners
On this episode of Oscars Playback, editors and experts Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen head back in time to 1986 when "Out of Africa" won seven Oscars, including Best Picture, despite being a movie no one seemed to even love. They discuss the legacy of the film, its defeat of "The Color Purple," and look back at the '86 Oscars ceremony. Joyce and Chris also trek through the year in film, when "Back to the Future" ruled (and still rules and probably should've won more than a single Academy Award).
