Rob Reiner auditioned many big names for Misery (1990) before casting Kathy Bates, then a relatively unknown theater actress. Stephen King called her performance “perfect,” & she became the first woman to win an Oscar for Best Actress in a King adaptation.pic.twitter.com/GAJnT4FTuA t.co/3LNzx7DduG
— cinesthetic. (@TheCinesthetic) October 27, 2025On March 25, 1991, at the 63rd Academy Awards, Bates won Best Actress, beating out Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman), Meryl Streep (Postcards from the Edge), Anjelica Huston (The Grifters), and Joanne Woodward (Mr. & Mrs. Bridge). It remains the only Stephen King adaptation to ever win an Academy Award. Even The Shawshank Redemption (seven nominations), The Green Mile (four nominations), and Carrie (two nominations) walked away empty-handed.
When she accepted the award, Bates kept it simple and emotional: "I'd like to thank the Academy, I've been waiting a long time to say that. I would like to congratulate all the nominees this evening, especially those in this category — their work continues to humble and inspire me... I would like to thank my family, my friends, my mom at home and my dad, who I hope is watching somewhere. I would like to say thank you, thank you very much.”
