Sally Field is setting the record straight on one of Hollywood's most parodied moments.
The 79-year-old actress told People she was talking to herself during her 1985 Oscars acceptance speech, not fishing for validation from the crowd. She explained the iconic line came from a place of finally allowing herself to feel the win after years of doubt. Field, who won for Places in the Heart, said the moment was about owning her achievement for that one minute in time. She is currently promoting her new Netflix film Remarkably Bright Creatures while reflecting on her long career.
