DJ Adrian Cronauer in Good Morning, Vietnam (1987)
Williams received his first of four career Oscar nominations for his work as the freewheeling DJ Adrian Cronauer in Good Morning, Vietnam. Based on real events, it is set in 1965, when Cronauer takes over the AFR’s Saigon radio broadcast. In contrast to the dull DJs that have preceded him, Cronauer is a bundle of dynamite, announcing each broadcast with a loud, “Goooooood morning, Vietnaaaaam!”
