The 59th Academy Awards were presented March 30, 1987 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Los Angeles. The ceremonies were presided over by Chevy Chase, Goldie Hawn, and Paul Hogan.

This ceremony was notable for being the last in 23 years to have multiple hosts, until the 82nd Academy Awards were hosted by Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin.

Also in this year Hannah and Her Sisters won both Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress, remaining as the last film to won both supporting acting categories until 2011 when The Fighter achieved this. The film also won Best Writing - Original Screenplay.

An interesting thing to note is that Best Actress winner Marlee Matlin became the first (and only as of 2011) deaf Oscar winner.

As of 2012 Platoon is the last film to have 2 supporting actor nominations.
