Sally Field winning an Oscar® for "Places in the Heart"

Robert Duvall presenting Sally Field with the Oscar® for Best Actress for her performance in "Places in the Heart" at the 57th Academy Awards® in 1985. Introduced by Jack Lemmon.

[@keythdanielsen8316]

This acceptance speech has been made fun of for 30 years. But I watched the Oscars that night and found it sweet, touching and sincere. Of course I was rooting for Sally Field. I loved her in Places In The Heart.

[@Rudunn51]

I understand cause that's a genuine emotional moment. That meant so much to her and I respect that. But you gotta admit Jim Carrey had you laughing your ass off!

[@Kingofmyworld87]

+keyth danielsen I love Sally Fields and I love her even more for just speaking from her heart. It may have made people uncomfortable because she went outside the box but lets face it, she said out loud what we all feel and want for ourselves. Love her.

[@kanealson5200]

+Giancarlo Pinizzotto True and how would it feel to be held to that moment for the rest of your life? In spite of everything else you've done. People thought it was narcissistic but I thought it was kind of endearing and sweet.

[@Kingofmyworld87]

Well fuck em. Lol chasing after the approval of others is a game we'll never win so just do what you want.

[@Avidcomp]

+Keyth Danielsen She actually said the best words to describe what winning an award means to the recipient. I think it was lovely and she earned it.

kEiRa WøNg can someone explain??

[@anyviolet]

@@mcjl232 Mandela effect = (basically) People remember hearing, with certainty, what was popularized about a famous event instead of remembering what they actually heard or saw the person say at the time. Like Sarah Palin "saying" "I can see Russia from my house" -- a phrase Palin never uttered. Tina Fey said it in a comedy sketch, not Palin. And here -- the phrase some comic mocked Field with "You like me! You really like me!" is not what she said here. But the comic's version is what people are convinced they heard her say.

[@44excalibur]

You're missing the point. Sally Field never said "You like me! You really like me!" She actually said, "You like me! Right now... you like me!" The reason people remember it wrong is because everyone mentally edited her words in their own minds precisely because it made no sense. lol

[@sarahrogers8762]

44excalibur this is called the Mandela effect!! it’s really interesting! here is another one: in star wars, Darth Vader says “Luke, i am your father”. but if you look up the clip he actually says “No, i am your father.” there are a lot of other examples and no one knows why this happens. i don’t understand how millions of people can remember something someway only to find out that it never was. (i have literally no idea if that sentence made sense😳) anyways, it’s really interesting and you should look into it :)

I think this speech is wonderful, and I remember it fondly. Yes, it's very "human" and emotional, and what she says won't make sense to a lot of people, but remember she is being awarded for being THE BEST IN THE WORLD at her job, which must be an absolutely phenomenal feeling and not one the vast majority of us will ever understand. To have your work recognised at this level must feel overwhelming, and I forgive her for being emotional. Beautiful little speech. Lovely human.

[@stephenphillps3250]

I remember seeing clips of this in the early 2000s of this and she said, "you like me you really like." I know what I heard. people made fun of this for years. that exact line. this is freaking me, out in a good way. the good news is that we will probably continue to shift to hire states of consciousness where there will be more peace love. if people are skeptical that's ok.

Sally was superb but they always ignored amazing Nastassja Kinski. She had 2 amazing films in 1984 - "Paris, Texas" and "Maria's Lovers". Still NO Oscar nominations for her

[@Mr11ESSE111]

Nastasjy Kinski was in movies like Samantha Fox in songs !! second quality/budget movies

[@loveanimals6981]

Absolutely not true. Kinski, for a GOOD five-year stretch in the '80s, worked with some of the finest talent in the land, actor- and director-wise. She worked with the likes of Francis Ford Coppola, Wim Wenders, Tony Richardson, Hugh Hudson, and of course, Roman Polanski. Some of her leading men included none other than Ben Kingsley, Al Pacino, Dudley Moore, Nureyev, and Gerard Depardieu. Usually, she was in nicely-budgeted movies, with major talent all-around involved. So often, though, they turned out to be misfires -- but not always. It should be noted that even the "misfires" often had moments of greatness in them though.

[@mickthenick1]

'Tess' and 'Paris, Texas', the greatest of them all. It is Mrs. Kinski's true legacy. Beautywise, she combined Ingrid Bergman, Grace Kelly, and Angelina Jolie. Totally irresistible.

Sally Fields used to be called Sally Feild. She was in Forest Gump, and Forest Gump used to say "Life is like a box of chocolates" now he says "Live was like a box of chocolates". Sally Fields speech has changed from "They Like Me, They Really, Really Like Me" to "They Like Me, They Like me Now". Her brother worked at Cern. Cern has a Video that shows a man holding a sign with Madella on it. Not to mention the hundreds of other things that have changed recently. How is this possible and why is nobody putting this shit on the news? Any of you think this is a little strange? If you do then thumbs up this comment.

That Flying Nun Gidget stuff was way behind her. I think what was interesting in this acceptance speech was "right now" You like me. I think that was a slight to Hollywood for being so fickle.

For those comments on Mandela Effect: Reality hasn't changed, it's just misquoting becoming general knowledge. It might have happened on the press, but check out when William Hurt wins the Oscar, Sally Field misquotes herself and actually said "Let's see which actor you like him, you really really really like him". Now Sally Field in singular has always been her name, I have a VHS copy of Forrest Gump from that time, and her name is Sally Field
