I love how Meryl Streep is the first person to give Cher a standing O. Awesome.

Moonstruck WAS so Oscar worthy, the part where Nicolas Cage takes her to the Opera. The Cinematography, everyone in the movie deserved an Oscar. It was such an original, to me it was the first Independent Film.

I love how Meryl Streep is the first person to give Cher a standing !!!

I love Cher but how good was glen close in fatal attraction ughh

Well-deserved! I think her performance in Moonstruck WAS Oscar-worthy because it was EFFORTLESS.  She WAS Loretta Castorini, she wasn't just playing herself. She WAS this woman. That's the brilliance of it, in how brilliantly understated the character was, & Cher really tapped into who this woman actually was, as if she were a REAL person. BRILLIANT!  She was wonderful in Mask also, but she was playing someone from life in that, which somehow lessened her brilliance.  In Moomstruck she didn't hold back and created something memorable.. Moonstruck is actually cinematic art. I think Moonstruck is one of the best romantic dramedies of Modern Cinema, but I am a Jew from NYC so I might be a tad biased. Cher, however is one of the BEST actresses and artists of ALL TIME in my humble opinion. She can do ANYTHING!  

Really love Meryl Streep always so supportive of other actors :)

I love that Meryl Streep was the first to cheer and get up on her feet.  She is so cool.  And Cher was amazing in Moonstruck.

Cher was so talented in this film.. really a great actress full Italian temperament.

Notice Meryl Streep when Cher wins. She jumps up without hesitation in true celebration of her comrade winning. It's genuine and real. The others put on a nice smile. But this shows really Streep's character in a very beautiful light.

My God, Paul Newman was soooo  very handsome. He looks like a Greek Statue that has come to life. I just love the way the old stars looked.

This clip is a joy! Cher, one of my favourite movies eveeeer and Paul Newman, the most handsome man of all time.

That was great.  Not only Cher, but Olympia Dukakis winning.  And even more so, the fact they won for amazing comedic roles which is so few and far between in Hollywood.

I seriously like Meryl Streep's reaction.

Honestly, I felt any of these 5 exceptionally beautiful and talented actresses deserved to win.. but like many have commented on... Cher's performance in Moonstruck was spellbinding..  Just an observation but wow Meryl Streep was absolutely gorgeous!

"I feel really really good because they were so great"

She Won because she carried the whole Movie.. and it would have flopped without her. she was Brilliant..Perfect

She should be a two-time Oscar winner. First for Mask, second for this.

A perfect year for a tie: Cher and Glenn Close. LOVE both performances. Cher is impeccable in this role (Loretta), still very a pleasure to watch.

They should have given FIVE OSCARS out.. all were brilliant.  What a competitive category.  Wow.  Glenn was my choice... but happy for Cher.

My God, I remember seeing the show live way back then but didn't remember what amazing, talented women Cher was up against! It only says soo much more about her performance and how deserving she was to have won the Oscar!
