Oscar Context
In 1984, “A Passage to India” competed for the Best Picture Oscar with “Amadeus,” which swept most of the Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director for Milos Forman, “The Killing Fields,” “Places in the Heart,” and “A Soldier's Story.”
Sally Field won her second Best Actress in five years; the first Oscar was for “Norma Rae.” The Supporting Actor winner was Haing S. Ngor for “The Killing Fields,” and the Supporting Actress Dame Peggy Ashcroft for “A Passage to India.”
Maurice Jarre achieved some kind of a record by receiving his third Scoring Oscar for a David Lean picture; he previously won for “Lawrence of Arabia,” and “Doctor Zhivago.”
“The Killing Fields” won the Cinematography Oscar for Chris Menges and the Editing for Jim Clark.
