Episode description
On this special episode of the Gold Derby Show, editors Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen continue their Oscars Playback series with a look at the 1995 Oscars, when Forrest Gump swept the nation and won top awards for Picture, Director, and Actor for Tom Hanks. But does that win hold up when Pulp Fiction and Shawshank Redemption were among the nominees? Joyce and Chris discuss that plus David Letterman's infamous stint as Oscars host -- which isn't necessarily as infamous as you might remember.
