Oscars Playback 1999: Shakespeare in Love vs. Saving Private Ryan

On this special episode of the Gold Derby Show, editors Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen return with another edition of Oscars Playback. This week, it's time for the 1999 Oscars ceremony, when "Shakespeare in Love" beat "Saving Private Ryan" and ushered in the modern awards campaign. Joyce and Chris look back on the ceremony, its fraught legacy due to Harvey Weinstein's influence on the show, and remember when 45 million viewers were considered a disappointment.
