Rob Reiner Didn't Think Stephen King's Misery Could Win an Oscar
The adaptation of Stephen King's bestseller Misery remains the only movie based on the author's work to win an Academy Award. The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, both by director Frank Darabont, snatched seven and four nominations, respectively, but they didn't win any awards. Ultimately, in 1991, Kathy Bates was announced as the winner in the Best Actress category, but director Rob Reiner never believed his film could break the streak. The reason? Misery was a horror film, and he was well-trained enough to know the Academy doesn't love those.
