Steven Spielberg had a pretty good year.

On the other hand, the appeal of the highly-acclaimed British imports The Remains of the Day and In the Name of the Father completely eludes me. But you like them so I nominated them.

I promised myself I would never do this — a do-over, in this case, the supporting actress category in 1987. Really, not only should I have recognized Mary Stuart Masterson for her iconic performance in John Hughes's Some Kind of Wonderful, she should have won.

My only excuse is that I pre-blogged the entire 1980s in the week before my surgery back in April and I made a few mistakes. Some I caught before they went live; this one I missed. But if I don't change it, the cancer wins. And I'll be damned if I'll let the Big C win ...
