What Were John Mulaney’s Field of Dream Comments All About?

Comedian Mulaney took to the stage to present the Oscar for Achievement in Sound. Mulaney began his introduction of the category by noting some essential lines that the introduction of sound has brought to film. This bit devolved into the comedian quoting the line “if you build it, they will come” from Field of Dreams and then rattling off a hilarious summary of the Costner film. Said synopsis included Mulaney questioning Ray Kinsella’s financial choices as well as the logistics of “ghost baseball.”

In this bit, Mulaney mentioned that Field of Dreams should win Best Picture. Field of Dreams is largely considered nostalgic and sentimental today, but it was nominated for Best Picture at the time of its release. It was also nominated for Oscars for Best Original Score and Best Adapted Screenplay. It lost both Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay to Driving Miss Daisy, and lost Best Original Score to the Disney animated film The Little Mermaid.

Field of Dreams remains one of Costner’s most iconic roles. Many of Costner’s roles in that era read as outdated now, which works well for Mulaney’s speech. Even so, it seems that Field of Dreams has stood the test of time despite its public derision at the Oscars.

Field of Dreams is available to stream on Prime Video and Starz.
