In this episode of A Take on the Academy, Sprosty is joined by Imani and Sunflower B. Rose from Fade to Black Podcast to revisit the 1999 Oscars and ask the unthinkable: should Meryl Streep really have been nominated for Music of the Heart? Together, they take a deep dive into the performances of that year’s standout actresses — from Diane Lane’s quiet strength in A Walk on the Moon, to Cecelia Roth’s raw emotion in All About My Mother, to Cameron Diaz’s surprising turn in Being John Malkovich, and more.
The trio re-examines the Academy’s choices, highlights overlooked brilliance, and ultimately decide who should have earned that coveted spot. It’s thoughtful, funny, and just the right amount of chaotic — a perfect “Gone Streeping” kind of conversation.
Listen now for a passionate breakdown of a year when bold female performances defined cinema, even if the Academy didn’t quite see it that way.
