Dustin Hoffman won Best Actor for his powerful performance as a father fighting for custody of his son in Kramer vs. Kramer, while Sally Field earned Best Actress for her role as a union organizer in Norma Rae, delivering one of the most iconic performances of her career.

Fun Fact: Norma Rae was inspired by the real-life story of Crystal Lee Sutton, a textile worker and activist who fought for labor union rights in North Carolina.
