Kai McCook I did say I love all things movies, but there is also plenty of nonsensical bullshit that happens in Hollywood that makes me hate a bunch of things with movies, you know you can like something for one reason but hate it for another right?? That’s me with cgi and Hollywood in general . Armies in movies and fucking hot lava are prime examples of necessary cgi, especially the armies and lava situations in those films.... you might as well be saying they could’ve done the dragons in GoT practically or the rocket flying in interstellar, which a lot of interstellar was done practically actually which is the beauty of Christopher Nolan, a director that hates unnecessary cgi but loves to use when it is necessary. you saying hatred towards cgi is unfounded is absolutely insane, plenty of people despise it the exact same way I do... but Hollywood cutting corners using practical effects, I’ve never heard of but if people are cutting corners using practical effects that look goofy/bad, that’s very shitty and just as bad. I legit don’t know how one can defend useless cgi use, but hey! Stick to your opinion, go ahead. And no, you can’t apply all my criticism on cgi to practical effects, you just can’t. I will always have my stance towards cgi and I will always like movies that use cgi because some people know how to use it correctly but other movies like the Great Wall will always remain at the bottom of the barrel which is labeled useless films. I believe deep down you can agree that all cgi should be well done and absolutely necessary, that’s my entire argument, I don’t know how anyone can argue with it. And as far as fuck face goes, I don’t give a fuck about feelings on the internet. You being salty about an insult in a comment thread stands to reason why you are arguing against my solid argument.
For those wondering, here's a bit of Backstory: In late 2009, Sacha Baron Cohen was announced to be the Host for that Year's Oscars. But according to sources, he was planning to host with his usual bag of tricks and gags, one of which was a planned skit of him dressed as a Na'Vi and Ben Stiller acting as his translator. When the Academy heard about this, they shut down his plans and threatened to fire him, so he quit. Ben liked the idea, so he went with it himself in the end.
Maybe it's bullshit but that does sound like something Ben Stiller would do for the sake of comedy. He's the guy that brought us heroined out Jack Black and a Black RDJ.
Ben's probably one of my favorite comic actors around today, and in a lot of ways he seems to be getting better and better. It's fun to continue to do things that are completely ridiculous once in a while, as they're a nice contrast to some of his more understated (but arguably best) film performances.
For those of you who keep saying it's awkward. That's the entire point. Ben has always been funny through awkwardness. Go watch some of his movies... lol, me personally, I thought it was pretty funny. EDIT: Remember Milking the cat from Meet the Parents... AKWARD. Meet the Parents (2/10) Movie CLIP - Milking Cats (2000) HD
He wasn’t awkward, he was just being Ben Stiller. The audience was a little bit awkward, as it seemed they didn’t understand his humor (and to be honest, it’s not the best Ben Stiller has done).
I know when I entered my film into a small, local film festival one time, I tried hard to stay lighthearted and happy but it's heart pounding sitting the whole time waiting for your category. I can't imagine at the biggest ceremony on the planet for this it's much better.
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night and there's Ben Stiller right at your bedside all Na'vied up and wide-eyed, staring deep into your soul and he's just like, "Hey what's up?"
Sascha baron cohen was supposed to be dressed up it with Ben Stiller. The joke would be that david cameron got sascha baron cohen pregnant or something. This was too offensive to David Cameron and he wouldnt let him film then so Sascha got kicked out presenting the oscars because of it. True story.
One of my favorite Oscar moments ever. I really admire Ben's commitment here. And how is this still the ONLY Star Trek film to have an Oscar? Oh, Star Trek Beyond could have had one, but no. Suicide Squad was FAR more deserving. 🙄
The one and only victory a Star Trek film has ever claimed at the Oscars. And it shouldn't have been the only one, as Star Trek: Beyond should've won its Oscar for Makeup instead of Suicide Squad.
For the people who were wondering what he was saying at the beginning - he was actually saying “Pessah. boreh pri hagafen” which is actually Hebrew for “Passover” & “Who creates the fruit of the vine” which is from the Bible.
That one dude won an oscar on his anniversary night and made note of it in his acceptance speech. Home boy got soooooo laid when he got home. I bet he walked sideways for a week.
Fun Fact: This is the one and only time that any Star Trek film has won an Academy Award. (As an aside, it is absolutely preposterous that Star Trek: The Motion Picture did not win for score and visual effects. But that is an argument for another day.) Science fiction films still have difficulty getting recognition at the Oscars and it's good to see Star Trek at least get a bit of love.

Please do this, the current ones are boring.
Dudes, Ben Stiller is always awkward it's part of his comedy.
but not very funny
@@Verbal_Kent You do realise comedy is a matter of taste. I personally love Ben Stiller, no matter what he does.
Infamous Yash Show true. Not funny at all
@@blueghost6 i totally agree its a matter of taste, some people love shit too..
@Shh Shh Steve Carell is funnier, I think that the whole world is agreed to that.
This was genuinely funny. Usually Oscar skits don't work, especially when presenters come on in pairs, but Stiller pulled it off all by himself.
James Cameron being like : "oh shit, I could have used make-up."
That would be actually better than Cgi I think!

@@n1k32h Congrats on turning 12.
Avatar couldn't be nominated because this is for best makeup not best CGI
They did put makeup on but they did some cgi to make it more real I'm pretty here because I watched a video on them behind the scenes
He even says that
@jhon doe When compared to Star Trek,Avatar had minimal amount of makeup.
Galactic Jewels look real? Look's like cartoon 😂

Does nobody in the comment section get that he is going for a socially awkward type of humour? I personally think this was rather hilarious.
Too many kiddos watching cringe youtubers that every 5 seconds say cringe so yeah...
That doesnt mean it wasnt awkward.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! thank you for comment this, I've never laughed that much!
I laughed so fucking hard I can't stop jesus christ oh my god
...
Liza Borghesani try 2:51 ;)
ahahahahahaah damnit, thank you so much for the hint :'D
still dont see it +lionxx
Please make him appear at the Oscars 2023! It perfectly presents technical aspects.
Am I the only one who thought that this was hilarious? This is exactly the kind of humour I like, haha!!
Gen X humor
me too lol

Why is "The Definition"s post marked as spam ? All he said is that Ben Stiller creates comedy through awkwardness. I think this video is funny too.
Bert Jete hard drugs
He wasn’t awkward, he was just being Ben Stiller. The audience was a little bit awkward, as it seemed they didn’t understand his humor (and to be honest, it’s not the best Ben Stiller has done).
The genius peak of his craft I think Tropic Thunder...
Ben is one of the few people who are actually funny
Frank the Crusader there’s only a few funny people??
@@fuhq6731 Yeah, right? Guy must not have a sense of humor
Man, I was dying when I saw this on TV.
Ben Stiller is hilarious!! One of the greatest comedians and actors of our time! :D
This was brilliant.
Ben you legend.
What is wrong with the energy at the oscars?
i know! everyone is so much more serious. like people lighten up
It's because it was lame, it was embarrassing no one laughed
I know when I entered my film into a small, local film festival one time, I tried hard to stay lighthearted and happy but it's heart pounding sitting the whole time waiting for your category. I can't imagine at the biggest ceremony on the planet for this it's much better.
hollywood people arent mentally stable folks
Oscars are filled by old people without a sense of humor
He's so funny, because he can make fun of himself.
why hasn't he hosted the Oscars yet. He always does a great job as a presenter
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night and there's Ben Stiller right at your bedside all Na'vied up and wide-eyed, staring deep into your soul and he's just like, "Hey what's up?"
Wow, what a great Oscar® to receive at the Academy Awards®. I hope to see more great Oscar® awards like this one.
I wish hekept making nonsense noises until the room got super quite and uncomfortable lol
Actually he was speaking in Hebrew
James Cameron's unimpressed face is priceless.
Ben Stiller is one of my favorite comedians.
I remember watching this for the first time and thinking it was awkwardly funny. But now looking back, it actually was purely funny!
i think i'm the only one who noticed now that the woman who played (rose's granddaughter) in titanic is actually James's wife
OH MY GOD!
And James cheated Linda Hamilton for that woman
He looks a bit like Steve Carell.
Lol yes
Jouwl this is the comment I was looking for
More like Freddie Mercury
I thought so
Bro got the gigachad face and the Navi face 💀
Star Trek has always had the best makeup.😄😊
172 people thought it would be better in rehearsal.
Did you die
I was into the humor...then I saw Chris Pine and lost focus for a min.
2009 Star trek by JJ abrams was absolutely incredible. still my favorite movie to this day.
💙 still love it all this time later.
Ben is great. This was thoroughly hilarious.
I found this hilarious. I've found that by just enjoying the oscar for what they are , you can actuallay have a couple of laughs.
I try to copy the tongue click (at 0:24:-0:27), but it does not work for me.
Imagine Jim carey doing this
Kai McCook bruh what?
Dan nah he isn’t even funny. Ben stillers a lot funnier
See you all in another 3 years when this gets recommended to me again.
Some of what he said was actually Hebrew!
*****"Pasach" is Hebrew for "Passover," "Boray perri ha gofen" is part of a Hebrew prayer.
steven franklin : That's cool.
Sascha baron cohen was supposed to be dressed up it with Ben Stiller. The joke would be that david cameron got sascha baron cohen pregnant or something. This was too offensive to David Cameron and he wouldnt let him film then so Sascha got kicked out presenting the oscars because of it. True story.
sascha baron cohen is a man
Lizbeth Minaya It's spelled "Sacha", fuck!
David Cameron? The Prime Minister of the UK?
TheMoskas100 yeah..he made titanic
Trust Sacha to do some extra weird shit that gets banned. One of the reasons he is so funny..
Ben Stiller, pure comedy genius
Ben Stiller is one of the best of this century, miss the guy
God, I love how you can hear Meryl's laugh throughout (almost) the whole video.LMAO!I love her!
Now I actually wish Ben stiller was in avatar
you guys deserve an oscar
Ben stiller is awesome hope he makes more meet the parents movies🙏🏼🙄
Ben Stiller is always funny!
I love Ben Stiller ❤He is so down to the earth.
No one:
NASA: creates an avatar to Ben Stiller just for the Oscars.
why is the camera quality so good
It’s 2009 not 1985. Too many people downloaded bad copies of show that you think 2009 had bad quality when it was just bad downloaded shows
People were still enjoying the whole Na’vi act from Ben. Even till the end. It was great 😂
First of all, Ben Stiller in Navi makeup is a riot. Secondly, Star Trek winning was so well deserved
One of my favorite Oscar moments ever. I really admire Ben's commitment here.
And how is this still the ONLY Star Trek film to have an Oscar? Oh, Star Trek Beyond could have had one, but no. Suicide Squad was FAR more deserving. 🙄
He looks like he from the future if I didn’t look at the year of this video.
The one and only victory a Star Trek film has ever claimed at the Oscars. And it shouldn't have been the only one, as Star Trek: Beyond should've won its Oscar for Makeup instead of Suicide Squad.
Exactly! The makeup job for Idris Elba's character was amazing!
I actually enjoyed the two successors more. But i absolutely agree
The first part was Na’vi the second part was Hebrew, he said the prayer for the blessing over wine.
For the people who were wondering what he was saying at the beginning - he was actually saying “Pessah. boreh pri hagafen” which is actually Hebrew for “Passover” & “Who creates the fruit of the vine” which is from the Bible.
It’s the ending for the blessing over wine in Judaism.
I know.... such a chilly reception for Ben Stiller, even he seems a bit depressed, & he's usually so upbeat.
I almost forgot 2009 was the year of Avatar...
Ben Stiller is actually a huge Trekkie and has a lot of Star Trek memorabilia.
One of my Favorite Comedians of all time!
I found this rather funny, Ben Stiller is awesome😅
Ben Stiller is a proper Trekkie as well.
as a nerd (espesially for star trek) I loved absolutly everything about this video. GO J.J.ABRAMS! I LOVE his movies thus far.
It's been 10 years 😮😮
Ben Stiller never fails to be funny,,
*Thanks for recommending me this video TH-cam*
James cameron didnt think that was funny at all
Star trek shoud had earn the oscar for best soundtrak as well!
Best makeup indeed
Amazing makeup:)
He is nominated for the best Gum-chewing in cinema history, this man is a f*cking legend !
He put makeup in his eyes as well 🙏
He's great! Love the tail (so hot right now) x
Isn’t the music at the very beginning part of the avatar soundtrack? If so, what part of the soundtrack is it?
This video is 4:20 min long, and with that thumbnail, I think is not intencional JAJAJJAJAJAJ
He said the Jewish prayer on grapes in Hebrew. I'm dead 🤣
Lol I love Ben Stiller. He's hilarious :)
lol at 1:12 James Cameron seems so pissed off lol
At long last, an Oscar win for Star Trek.
lol oh Stiller's awkwardness is so funny!! His tail is sooo long, haha
2:41. It was at that moment he realised, he really should have worn his Spock ears.
God, he dragged it till the joke chocked on itself
Ben Stiller is fucking hilarious.
Great work Ben thanks for your support
First Star Trek film to win an Oscar, not one word about Gene Roddenberry. Thanks very much J.J. Abrams.
My guy needs to go to a cosplay event, he’s in the wrong building.
No reaction to the best part: "I brought a hairnet, it's OK."
Looks like Micheal Jacskon ate a smurf
God that's awkward
it would have been even more awkward if he wore the nazi outfit in front of a bunch of jews
That is why it is hard to become an actor
Or your sense of humour is shittier than you think it is.
