Here is what the page “Goodbye, Misery: The Only Oscar-Winning Stephen King Film Is Leaving HBO Max” contains. Stephen King's vast bibliography has spawned countless adaptations, but only one has ever taken home an Academy Award. That film, the 1990 psychological thriller Misery, is now set to depart HBO Max. Directed by Rob Reiner and starring Kathy Bates and James Caan, the movie won Bates the Oscar for Best Actress for her chilling portrayal of Annie Wilkes, an unhinged fan who holds her favorite author captive.
The film's departure marks the end of an era for streamers who count on King's name to draw horror fans. With King adaptations more popular than ever, the absence of his sole Oscar winner from a major streaming service is notable. Catch it while you can—it's a masterclass in suspense that still holds up more than three decades later. This listing links straight to the original page, where the content is available in full.
