0:38. I love how Sylvester refers to the winner as "the new heavyweight champ".
He TOTALLY deserved it. The Goodbye Girl is a wonderful movie!
Indeed!
@Veronica A. Her: "Are you decent?"
Him: "I am"
Oh, I dunno. I've only seen it 100 times. Lemme check again.
100% agree. He was superb.
I was watching that night and was so happy. Loved the movie. I think I went to see it 3 times!
Recently saw an interview where he discusses his life as a bipolar person with dyslexia for whom numbers are just squiggles and make no sense. He has only read twelve books in his life because one teacher forced him to do so. Look what he gave us and all that he accomplished.
He just wrote a book.
I actually fell in love with him in “Always”. Didn’t know him before that movie. The guy has an incredible charm and is a gentleman. Great natural acting skills.
You never saw those little indies he did, like Jaws or CLose Encounters, Horacio?
@@stephengibbons2260 he really is beautiful. It was Jaws for me, but The Goodbye Girl cemented my obsession.
You never saw Jaws?
@@cynthianolder3557to be fair, you don’t remember actors in movies like jaws, you just remember everything the shark eats.
OMG! Dreyfuss And Stallone Were In Their Early 30's During 1978! Now They're In Their 70's! Can You Believe That!?
I fell in love with Richard Dreyfuss after seeing his bravura performance in The Goodbye Girl....he is the genuine article , i have watched him thru the years and have always admired his skills as a fine actor.
I LOVE the way Sylvester Stallone presented the award! A lot of people thought Richard Burton would win, however Richard Dreyfuss was amazing in The Goodbye Girl. Burton should have gotten an honorary award. I do believe Richard Dreyfuss deserved to win.
Hard to believe that he was just 30 years old at the time.
Yeah he was like 28 or 29 when he did goodbye girl
wow I guess it was the grey hair but I thought he was in his 40s
film79 he does look older than he is, that’s true
Same i thought he was like 50
The youngest actor to win the Best Actor Oscar until Adrien Brody broke the record.
I see Mark Hamill congratulating him for a second there....
Not to mention they both did a sci-fi blockbuster that same year and have both collaborated with George Lucas.
I think he hugged Marsha Mason,his costar also.
Wow, his beautiful date actually cried for him.... how touching!
That's not his fate, you fool. It's his mother.
wasn't that his co-star?
@@Revelian1982
Mother she didn't luk more than 25
@@cliffdariff74 I thought it was too. I dont think it was his mother
@seachelle12 It's common in some parts of the world.
he totally deserved that Oscar. love that movie.
Agreed. One of my favorite movies as well. :)
Yup. What a year he had. Playing Richard was hilarious .
My favourite movie
I had no idea he won an Oscar for that movie! So glad as it has been a favorite of mine for years. Marsha Mason deserves an Oscar as well. She was phenomenal!
I agree she cryed over Tony leaving made me cry I agree Marsha should have won.
He deserved every bit of this Oscar
Richard Dreyfuss was such a cutie. I never realized just how good looking he was. His smile @0:23 makes my heart flutter.
Richard Dreyfuss always managed to get the best looking women in his youth. I am not saying he was ugly, but he certainly was not sexy or handsome. at least by Hollywood standards or even mainstream American standards. He must have had some serious charm that we did not see or a SERIOUS you know what packed inside those pants!
Totally deserved. Goodbye Girl is just as brilliant now, 35 years later. When Marsha is clutching his guitar in the rain, yelling "I love you!" and Richard yells, "Never mind that ! You're rusting my guitar!" and the brilliant David Gates starts singing the theme song.... does it get any better than that ? (I will say this, Marsha also should have won the Oscar. She got the Golden Globe though, and the BAFTA.) Love you Richard ++++++ Peace.
One of the best performances ever and I too love this ending scene. May I add that the rain and old school lights of the coffee shop as they are running the credits and playing the song adds a wonderful New York vibe.
RIP Richard Burton and Marcello Mastroiani
My favorite of all romantic comedies and they just don't come any better than Richard Dreyuss.
I just watched 'The Goodbye Girl' for the first time in many years (it's on TH-cam) and hadn't realised he won the Oscar in the face of some very stiff competition, but he 100% deserved it. Teriific performance!
Am I the only one who believe his performance in Close Encounters was equally strong if not better than The Goodbye Girl? He could've been nominated twice.
+Rob Morrow Agreed.
+Rob Morrow
Yes, you're the only one.
TheChannel.TV Are u trying to be smart little bitch?
+Rob Morrow I don't have to try. Of course, compared to you anybody looks smart, shrimpcock.
And potentially split the vote? Not smart. Better to let the genre/"mainstream" performance in the same year convince on-the-fence voters to vote for you. Plus, it just makes your victory look stronger in hindsight. Two recent examples I can think of include Anne Hathaway winning Best Supporting Actress for Les Mis when she was in The Dark Knight Rises that same year and Jennifer Lawrence winning Best Actress for Silver Linings Playbook when she was also in The Hunger Games.
this was when the oscars actually meant something...
The Oscars never meant anything. It's all in your head.
No it wasn't lmao, Marcello and Richard Burton both had better performances
Even in 1978, the speeches were still short, sweet, and to the point.
Awww he is so cute! Just recently came across 'The Goodbye girl' and wow what a great movie! Simply loved it :)
The Good bye girl is a touching, funny and enjoyable movie. Richard Dreyfus gave a great performance.
I just got done watching Goodbye Girl for the first time in years... it was one of my late mother's favorite movies and we would watch it every Saturday when I was a kid. Of course, the screenplay makes a little bit more sense to me now as an adult, it was almost like watching it for the first time. Richard Dreyfuss was amazing in this film, as was Marsha Mason. The ending had me in a tear or two while watching it just now because all I could think about was my mother, who passed away five months ago, but a beautiful memory nonetheless.
I just watched "The Goodbye Girl" tonight for the very first time! Great performances by Dreyfuss, Mason and Cummings. I was a kid when this first came out, and I remember always seeing the scene of Dreyfuss pulling Mason's panties off of the shower curtain rod. After all these years it was nice to finally see what everyone was going to the movies to see back in 1977! The title song also brought back memories of hearing it on the radio back in the day.
Stallone dominated that intro
All the actors deserved to win that year. Those were all fantastic movies. I'm glad Richard D. won. He is always one of my favorites. I don't think I could pick a favorite of his movies. I love all of them
The 70s was a great movie era that spawned more classics than any other decade.
Wrong. The 60's hold that record - by far.
it was also the Greatest Decade of Music and Sports
If you are referring in particular to American movies, I think it's virtually indisputable. The 70s were a decade when America took a good hard look at itself after the turbulent 60s. The reality it saw was reflected in film. But that reality was too much for us to bear, and we decided once again to escape from it. We had the 80s - an atrocious decade for American cinema - and haven't looked back from it since.
Now, if you're referring to world cinema, I'd say 50s were the greatest.
The 1940s would like to meet you sometime.
The 70s was the decade of auteur film directors, the time when Hollywood film making was at its most creative and free from the studio system. It's a pity it was followed by the cynicism of the 80s.
So glad he won this award! My favorite movie of all time!
Stallone: "Want me to do it by memory?" LOL
Richard Dreyfuss was, and still is so cute.
He was great in The Goodbye Girl. "I like to take showers every morning and I don't like the panties drying on the rod." :):)
I agree. Totally deserved the oscar win! and he is so cute
"I play the guitar whenever I cannot sleep, and I meditate every morning, complete with chanting and burning incense, so if you have to walk around, I'd appreciate a little tiptoeing. Also, I sleep in the nude. "Au buffo" winter and summer, rain or snow, with the windows open, and because I may have to go to the potty or to the fridge in the middle of the night, and because I do not want to put on jammies, which I do not own in the first place, unless you're looking for a quick thrill or your daughter an advanced education, I'd keep my door closed." :)
Richard is a good guy...love his work....he was like...."why is luke skywalker here?"
Guess he was invited to the awards because Star Wars was the biggest thing at that time.
😆😆 lol.
A very deserved win for an outstanding actor !!!!!
Richard Burton was the male Glenn Close of the oscars!
so was Peter O'Toole
MrS98VAC Johnny Depp is more of a male Glenn Close and Glenn Close is close to a female version of Peter O'Toole
I thought the same thing today...
Glenn might still win it for sunset boulevard if the ever make it, supposedly starts shooting October
@warrcc c He was fantastic as Churchill in the gathering storm
LOVED Richard in the film....he was adorable and certainly deserved that Oscar.... ❤️💜💜💜 👍🏻 : ))))))
Never saw someone so tickled to win. Good for him !!
at 1:00 he looks like he trying not to trip up those steps. LOL
he was so cute back then, and he deserved that oscar. he should have won for 'mr. hollands opus' when he was nominated in the 90's too.
LadyScorpio39 Oh yes. He was so amazing in that absolutely gripping, wonderful film, that was very closely based on a true story, by the way.
I loved this movie and I could watch the ending over and over. Dreyfuss was brilliant as was Marsha and Quinn Cummings who should have won too.
+Terry Miller Absolutely! :-)
Marsha has zero chance of beating Diane Keaton that year
It might be the most iconic, but you've got to be joking if you think Annie Hall isn't remembered today. It has to be one of Woody Allen's most popular comedies from his early years. It also won Best Picture this year, as well as Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay.
racinefo Annie Hall is a true classic!!!
His face is so adorable-he is so handsome, I can't stand it! ;)
I love this man ! He was excellent in the goodbye girl! ❤️
This was the first time I ever saw the audience stand up and applaud when it ended. The lady next to me was crying. I was just a kid but I could tell how special it was to everyone.
This is damn good movie .. seriously after all these years , the magic still there
Neil Simon plays/ movies make you laugh through your tears. They're awesome👍
"This was no boat accident" Dreyfuss was brilliant in Jaws and this too, my all time favourite movie. I saw it when I was 12 years old in 1977 at the movies and have loved it ever since, fast forward to 2022 45 years later. Never dates as Elliott Garfield says, "I thought I had some good moments now and then" yes sir you did.
With respect to Richard Burton, Richard Dreyfuss rocked the world when he did The Goodbye Girl and it's my favorite movie of his.
Just a bit of an overstatement.
1. Big fan of Sly Stallone. Great actor and big star.
2. I think either Dreyfuss ( who won ) or Richard Burton ( what a pity that truly incredible actor didn't manage to win an Oscar) deserved to win.
3. Much respect to an incredible -
legendary actor, Marcello Mastroianni
I had just lost my dad the week before.
My beloved friends took me to the movies.
We saw The Goodbye Girl ..
December 1977.
Forever, my favorite film.
May God bless Richard , Marsha, Quinn (do you have any idea how magnificent you were in this??) . And Herb Ross .
Rest well , Neil Simon .
Very touching!
So glad it went to Richard Dreyfuss...the best picture that year! My favorite movie of all time! The Goodbye Girl! :) Rude comments made about Richard are by people who don't know him and are bitter for one reason or another. I choose to move on from people like that, bad energy!
44 years later it's the John Travolta role people remember. I am a Dreyfuss fan.
Agreed
Richard Dreyfuss and Mark Hamill : BEST FRIENDS FOREVER
he was never friends with Hamill
0:54
aaronimpactnz what does that prove? A handshake? I shake hands with the UPS guy
@@oilyshoes9969 They were in American Graffiti together.
Where was Hamill in American Graffiti....An extra? @@thebluemorpho6640
I was nine years old when I saw this moment almost 40 years ago. I wanted John Travolta to win so bad that I could hear "Stayin' Alive" play and Travolta dance his way up to the podium to receive his award. Yet, I could not for the life of me understand why he did not win.
cause the Academy are morons
Travolta was/is/always will be, overrated.
WELL DESERVED, BUT I THINK HE WON FOR "CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND"
Should have won you mean
Fab film still holds up today x
That's funny that Mark Hamill is there, as Dreyfuss read for the role of Luke Skywalker when Lucas was casting.
Also, Stallone, who is presenting here, auditioned for Han Solo.
RyderDavis Really? o.o that's so odd to think about now.
He was so cute!
Really - Peter Firth gave the best performance by an actor in a leading role for EQUUS - but he was dumped into the supporting actor category - despite having more screen time than Burton. Dreyfuss had the double whammy of being in GOODBYE GIRL and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS that year which clearly helped.
I am so glad he won! My favorite movie of all time!
he is sooooooooo adorable!!
He REALLY DID NOT expect to win. I think he was genuinely shocked. Can you imagine -- being up against Richard Burton and Marcello Mastriani ? Wow ! -- but he DID genuinely deserve it ! He is an incredible actor. I will watch ANY movie that he is in. (was that his father that he was sitting next to on his left?)
This man was 30 years old at the time and he looks like he was pushing 50, the only time I saw Richard Dreyfuss actually look young was in the "The Graduate"
On America Graffiti he looks young too. Good point though.
Fer Abra True, that movie came out in 1973, this man aged too much, this video came out 5 years later, how could anyone age so much in such a short amount of time
Lord mij I heard he did drugs .. many that would explain it?
LOL yeah and even in The Graduate he looked to be pushing 30
The graduate came out in 1968, he looked like his age then, he def looked younger then he did in American Grafffiti though
Omg he’s such a cutie!! And a talented actor
He knew he was going to win--and deserved it.
+David Wise Without question indeed!
Wow! He beat John Travolta! I never knew he won. I didn't see the movie till many years later, since I was 16 when it came out it wasn't "my kind of movie" I guess..lol, now it is one of my all time favorites and I cry at the ending every single time! No one could have played Elliott & Paula except Dreyfus & Mason..no way!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Judging by the applause, Travolta finished a strong second. I wish Price Waterhouse would release the vote counts! I mean after 30, 40 years or so what harm would it do?
He deserved to win, and "THIS WAS NOT A BOAT ACCIDENT!"
Gone are the golden years of an era gone by ! If only you knew ..So honored to have been apart Of It!
One of the best actors of the 20th century.......
"You want me to do it by memory...?" Chill out, Stallona.
One of the best movies ever..... and he was superb in it.
The man was a DOLL..i had such a crush on him..still do..
Poor Richard Burton (the last of his 7 nods).
One of the best performances 👍
100% deserving
"I'm making a horseth asseth of myselfith!"
@pianoman8882
i agree dreyfuss was totally cute when he was younger. especially around the early to mid 80's.
Great Actor. Really brings any character roll to the top. 💯👍👍👍
Deserved. Fantastic actor.
I was 12 when my Father took me to see this great movie . Will never forget .....
The funny thing about Richard Dreyfus is his looks back then. He was 26 in American graffiti but looked 16 in the film, and he was 30 in the goodbye girl but looked 40 in it! It’s impressive!
He was so hot when he was young, my God.
Agreed!!!
he has that cheeky smile... sexy as hell
the goodbye girl..man, havent seen that in so long..have to watch it now..talk about a great movie..love it.
I was 22 that year and wanted John Travolta to win. But I do like Richard Dreyfuss. He should have won for Close Encounters.
he is brilliant in every role he takes on ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, whose life is it anyway, amazing movie
alwayssme Agree!!!
He really deserved it,he was up against some heavy hitters too,being bipolar didn't stop him,i think he used the manic in this movie,great performance!
The Academy gave so many compensatory/sympathy Oscars before this to Bogart, John Wayne, Elizabeth Taylor (B8) and Burt Lancaster, they could have given this one to Richard Burton. Burton was a close second here to John Travolta
Thanks so much for uploading this! I'd love to see more old school Stallone stuff on youtube! :-)
Youngest man to ever win the Best Actor Oscar at 29, but he looks 49. (I don't actually know if that record still stands -- I should've looked it up.)
He was 30. The youngest is Adrian Brody - 29.
Throughout the 70s and 80s guys always looked and acted more mature than they were. Not intentionally ; that's just how it was. I wish that were STILL how it was. :/. Some young guys are like that but generally that's not the rule
Now all men in Hollywood wants to look younger to get more roles.
He was the youngest until Adrian Brody won fir The Pianist.
Art Carney should have been nominated for his stunning performance in "The Late Show"
Johnny Carson was nominated Instead
My favorite movie of all times. And YES he did deserve it and Marsha Mason should of won.
Luke Skywalker congratulates him, Rocky Rambo hands it to him
Just watched the movie last night. Fantastic movie plus the performances of the actors especially Marsha and Richard.
I got that beat. See this scar? Mary Ellen Moffat. She broke my heart. Hahahahaha!
Richard Dreyfuss playing the aluminum siding salesman with Danny Devito in ' Tin Men' is one of my all time favorite movies
Robert Shaw would have been pleased 👍
The Goodbye Girl is the movie I fell in love with Richard Dreyfus. He so cute. How ironic that in this movie, there is a line "if you're ever up for an Academy Award I'll cross my fingers for you". ❤
Mark Hamill at 0:54
I remember this Oscars show ~ 2 of my favorite actors were up for Best Actor ~ Richard Dreyfuss and John Travolta ~ both had excellent acting performances!! The added bonus was Sly Stallone presenting ; )
My favorite John Travolta movie is Grease.
+CashPresley32 Me, Saturday Night Fever.
+82sweetheart Stallone presenting an award for acting is like the National Enquirer handing out Pulitzer Prizes.
TheChannel.TV
You have to admit that the character Rocky Balboa could not have been portrayed by anyone else. Stallone brought Rocky to life!! Rocky won the Oscar for Best Picture in 1976.
Rocky is considered to be one of the greatest sports films ever made and was ranked as the second in that category, after Raging Bull, by the American Film Institute in 2008.
+82sweetheart I enjoyed Rocky as a movie too... until Stallone turned that character into an obsession. He can't seem to play anything else even when he plays anything else. There was one exception with Cop Land. He was very good in that. As for winning best picture of 1976, it was one of the worst choices the academy ever made. The other nominees: Taxi Driver, Bound for Glory, Network, and All the President's Men, all of them superior films. Rocky was just an entertaining crowd-pleaser. More popular than genuinely artistic. That's not what the Oscars are supposed to be about. That's why you have peoples choice awards. And as a sports movie, it can't touch Chariots of Fire, Seabiscuit, or The Natural. Even as a boxing movie, it is way behind classics like Body and Soul (1947) and The Set-Up (1949) regardless of what the AFI says.
I could watch The Goodbye Girl hundreds of times and still find it just as wonderful each and every time. The writing was so damn good and his performance was perfection. He and Marsha Mason had such great chemistry...but TBH, Quinn stole the scenes, she was incredible!
The best scene when they were in bathroom when Marsha has on the white mask is priceless so good an the song luv the son @ end.
we were both wrong but he was 29 when he acted in that movie and he looked 45 in that film.
Am I the only one who feels Richard Burton should have won the Oscar? He was so underrated through the years: Becket, Anne of the thousand days, Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf and Equus are masterclasses in acting, yet the Academy couldn't understand it. Such a shame we lost him so early, a great actor indeed.
he should have won for virginia woolf, not for equus
5.Woody Allen in Annie Hall- Woody Allen does his usual routine, but this is certainly one of his better variations, since the character fits his standard character more, and gives a little more depth to his persona that usual. (3.5/5)
4.Richard Dreyfuss in The Goodbye Girl- Richard Dreyfuss is almost deathly annoying at the beginning, but he eventually gives a very good, and very charming performance as the film continues. (3.5/5)
3. Richard Burton in Equus- Richard Burton does his best as he can without the very bad film he is in. He makes the monologues powerful despite the fact that the writing is so bad. (4/5)
2. Marcello Mastroianni in A Special Day-Mastroianni is very good here creating a fascinating portrait of a very much repressed man who, slowly breaks open. Mastroianni is terrific all the way through. (4.5/5)
1. John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever- Travolta really is great in his star making performance. Travolta gives a strong charismatic performance. I will admit this year is incredibly close for me. It was incredibly hard for me to chose between these top two performances, since they are both strong in fairly different ways. (4.5/5)
dr strangelove No offence to you but Woody Allen at #1 is a huge stretch
Cocaine is a helluva drug. Nevertheless an outstanding performance. Tough to win an Oscar for a comedy
