Susan Sarandon winning Best Actress

Tom Hanks presenting the Best Actress Oscar® to Susan Sarandon for her performance in "Dead Man Walking" - 68th Academy Awards® in 1996.

[@justbreathe7573]

I just love how Meryl Streep is always and always the happiest and the most cheerful when someone else gets the Oscar for Best Actress. Pure class! ♥️🔥

[@dobazajr]

Yes but Susan and Sharon shades on La Streep after being offered film roles that turned down by Meryl.

[@Starkardur]

yep and Susan has subsequently shaded and disses her since - maybe because Meryl's performane is still remembered and is iconic to this day and nobody remembers Sarandon in Dead Man walking.

Nick Mortola They were all legitimately happy for Susan Sarandon. At that time, she had been acting professionally since at least 1968, and this was at least her 4th nomination, so it was a legitimate, "It's about damn time," moment in which everyone shared.

Actually Susan Sarandon deserved the Oscar for Lorenzo's Oil (1992) and The Client (1994). Well, at least she finally won it. She's a fantastic actress who deserves more than just 1 Oscar. Sharon Stone's performance in Casino was great too

[@AlexBlend]

Many people many opinions. I think Jessica was the weakest that year

[@gatewayski1]

I enjoyed Susan Sarandon in ATLANTIC CITY opposite Burt Lancaster (1981); She had nice moments in THELMA AND LOUISE, THE CLIENT, DEAD MAN WALKING and LORENZO'S OIL (but I wouldn't give her an Oscar for those four films). SHARON STONE was my choice.

[@AlexBlend]

Yes, I wanted Sharon to win the Oscar that year but Susan was an obvious winner. She had many "losing" nominations before 1995
