Goldie deserved her Oscar win
She gave a funny, heartwarming performance that more than deserved the Oscar.

shareI just watched the film again the other day...I love it and without a doubt Goldie provides many of the film's bright moments. I am so glad that she received some Oscar-love...The Academy tends to favor drama over comedy and that year they not only honored a comedic performance, they honored a comedic performance that was completely deserving of such praise. Go Goldie! However, I must say that Ingrid Bergman should have at least received a nomination in the Best Actress line-up...very underrated performance.
shareI completely agree with you and with the original poster.

True she won, but her performance was essentially her being cute. The give Oscars out for acting (according to theory). If a actress is just being herself, that ain't acting. Dyan Cannon was the best pick. (BTW I love Goldie Hawn dearly!)
shareCertainly in light of the godawful remake (Just Go With It) her performance seems stellar. I doubt one, ahem, Brooklyn Decker will be following in GH's footsteps on next years Oscar night!
