Who else saw the video where an interviewer showed her that she did indeed thank her mother during her speech? What a touching moment. And what a great performance!!!

Kathy thoroughly deserved to win. Her performance in Misery was incredible. A once in a lifetime performance.

Can’t believe it haunted her all these years  how she thought she didn’t thank her mom

Kathy Bates, Anjelica Huston, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts and Joanne Woodward... what a FANTASTIC group of women!

No standing ovation? WTF.

This was by far one of the most incredible female leading performances ever.

"I would like to thank Jimmy Caan, and apologize publicly for the ankles."

It's so rare somebody like Kathy comes out of nowhere and gives such an amazing, awesome performance that we still talk about almost 30 years later.

When I read misery I felt like there’s no way someone could portray Annie Wilkes like how she was in the book but Kathy really did take the character and bring her to life, which is terrifying because just reading about Annie Wilkes is a spine chilling experience. Kathy definitely deserved the Oscar and the fact that it was her first major role is amazing and shows how talented she is

I would like to thank Kathy Bates for being an actress 🥰🥰

She totally deserved her Oscar. Her performance TERRIFIED me which means she did a GREAT job =)

One of the rare moments when the academy got it right.

Great example of a very well-deserved Oscar win.

Kathy Bates in Misery is one of the greatest performances in movie history.

Her first major role and she wins the Oscar...just a testament to how much of a powerhouse Kathy is!

Of course she got the Cockadoodie Oscar !

OK who else had a little tear when she said about her dad 💔

The look she had in her eyes alone was enough to frighten me in misery 😨

“ I wanted her spirit to come into me.” Seeing Kathy Bates realize she did thank her mom was truly amazing 🥹🥹

0:56 Angelica Huston gave Kathy Bates a congratulatory kiss.  Did you know that the role of Annie Wilkes was originally offered to Angelica Huston but she turned it down?

Misery is a masterpiece
