Especially when pre-release publicity had implied that the movie was X rated and would not be able to be released in most theaters like Basic Instinct. Both movies were eventually rated R and the rest is history.
Midnight Cowboy became the first and only X-rated film to win Best Picture, though its rating was changed in 1971 to R after the MPAA revised its ratings criteria.
Agreed. But history has shown this to have been the right choice again only my opinion but the only other movie that could have come close to it was Butch cassidy.
Sadly, just 41 years after she presented the Best Picture Oscar to Midnight Cowboy, which is still, to date, the only X-Rated film to win the Oscar for Best Picture (A precursor to the R rating still used today), Elizabeth Taylor tragically passed away due to numerous health problems at the age of 79, just a few days after the 83rd Academy Awards took place.
Biggest robbery in movie history was Dustin Hoffman not winning the Oscar for Midnight Cowboy. Best performance of his career and one of the best ever given by anyone.
Randy Bailin who did win that year ? This film was rated X in my state at the time , strange how it won when people were so uptight over certain material matter.
Everything. Class, dignity, true art, inspiration, elegance, brilliance, and an appreciation of such...what on earth has happened...where did it all go wrong?
50 years of aggressive and omnipresent advertising has succeeded in creating a consumer culture by programming us to value material possessions over creativity and art. I wonder how different our country would be if we reduced advertising by 50%.
@@robjohnson8214 thank you for not making a political comment.....some people just can’t accept changes sometimes have nothing to do with Liberal or conservative...
This woman is so strikingly beautiful and makes my heart beat like crazy. She was really something. I DO not see any actresses today that leave a effect on me like her.
Ms. Taylor campaigned against "Anne of a Thousand Days" because hubby Burton and Genevieve Bujold had an affair while making it!!! She succeeded: Maggie Smith won one of the most unexpected Best Actress Oscars ever for "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie"!!!
Liz Taylor, no one ever as beautiful . Nothing fake. A heart of gold. Good to friends when others turned their back. Great humanitarian. There will never be another. RIP to the best actress ever.
In my not so humble opinion in her day the most beautiful woman to grace the screen decades later I am still mesmerized by her beauty damn good actress and her inner beauty as a great humanitarian
Notice Liz has perfect pronunciation when announcing the nominees. Beautiful and bright. And also did a wonderful job with Burton in Shakespeare’s taming of the shrew.
I believe Elizabeth Taylor has a English British back ground. The Queen's English. She's British/American. She was after all married to Richard Burton the darling Welsh stud. So Richard wouldn't put up with American slang. They sure as Hell don't make beauties like that anymore, and now everything is so PC. I did see her on set 1980s Toronto Canada amazing woman. I've always had a crush on her. My English pronunciation and writing sucks. Be safe wear the mask 🇨🇦
It's really palpable that she was upset. She's trying hard to get through it. Richard Burton had just lost the Oscar moments before-- for the 6th time, and she really wanted him to win. His losing for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf two years before, when she won her second, put a strain on their relationship because it really was humiliating to him to keep losing. I'm sure she was not looking forward to how he'd be behaving after the show was over.
my goodness, even through video, she is smouldering, I can't tell which is more sparkling, her huge tear shaped diamond the size of Gibraltar or her eyes....so gorgeous
Now that's the way to receive the Oscar. Say one Thank You and get off the stage. The Thank You 10 minute speeches crap seem to start getting bad in the 1980's.
What’s wrong with showing emotion and being human? I prefer to see people showing joy when something special happens in their life as opposed to some robotic reaction void of any emotion as if it was business as usual
Still remember my dad having a fit over hearing Midnight Cowboy winning the award for best picture in 1969. He could not believe an X rated movie would take the top award. I have since seen the picture and can see why it won. When you see it, to cheer yourself back up, go to a funeral. Has to be one of the most heavily dramatic movies I have ever seen.
I thought it deserved to win but I was shocked when it did I thought it was to risque and adult oriented for the same people that year that gave an Oscar to John Wayne but sent Jane Fonda home empty handed Ithought they were going to give it to Hello Dolly inthe sixties four of the best picture winners were musicals even by today's standards Midnight Cowboy is a little shocking
CosmicStargoat Have you seen Liz in "Taming of the Shrew"? The marriage scene shows her awesome beauty as a truly transcendental experience - I literally lose my breath every time I see it.
coralarch There's a wonderful story in one of her biographies in which the barely adolescent Elizabeth walks through the MGM commissary. (This is from memory and, alas, lacks details, but the gist remains true.) A middle-aged male executive, upon spotting her, basically did a spit take. "She was only 13," he recalled, "but wow!"
geokaplan59 I can believe it. Even as a 2 year old, she had unbelievable charisma and beauty. Interestingly, even though I've seen impersonators who really do resemble her, they all lack her indefinable magic...I think Liz was at her most divine when she made "Taming of the Shrew"- the wedding scene both cracks me up laughing, and makes me gasp at how lovely she is...
Heavenly beauty! Elizabeth at her most breathtaking stunning beauty, face, makeup, EDITH HEAD dress, passion beyond compare. GOD'S perfect creation. TY for posting this iconic video. Wish it would play on the I-Pad.
Midnight Cowboy, Anne of Thousand Days, Z, Hello Dolly, Butch Cassidy. Unbelievable lineup. The Golden Age of American Cinema. The late '60s and the '70s.
Dustin Hoffman was the best actor regardless of what the academy voters thought. Are you serious ? Best acting job of the 60's. The crippled walk, the dialogue, the 'snipet' humor and those 'zinger' lines and statements - what a performance !!!!! He won the BAFTA AWARD IN ENGLAND...SHOULDN'T THAT HAVE TOLD US SOMETHING ?
Oh my GOD!!!! Elizabeth Taylor was absolutely stunning!! I always loved her movies, from her child star roles to her Oscar winning roles, not only was she a magnificently beautiful woman, but a damn good actress, 2 Oscars to prove it!! Anyway, I am soooo glad Midnight Cowboy won, it is an excellent film, and Hellman's speech was short & to the point. Anyway, Rest in Peace Liz!!
I first saw MIDNIGHT COWBOY in 1970..watched it again last night..still as powerful as it was back then..2 lost souls staying together in New York,out of lonliness.
I love that film for so many reasons it never seems dated just like the film Network Midnight Cowboy and Network were ahead of their time Midnight Cowboy focused on among other things homeless people before that became a national issue and Network focused on reality shows before they became a part of the entertainment industry they don't make films like this anymore
What a good acceptance speech. Only one person onstage and short, precise, and to the point. That was sure not like the big crowds that fill the stage now.
I cannot believe how breathtakingly beautiful she is at every stage in her life. The clip above-- deeply tanned, wearing a stunning dress that showcases her tiny waist--is proof she was one of the loveliest actresses of all time.
Forget her tan and beautiful bosom, man what sexy eye brows!!! Ladies, quit with the trimming, plucking and waxing....natural beauty never goes out of style!1
Sorry to disillusion you: Liz's eyebrows were completely drawn on by MGM's makeup dept. She used 8 different color pencils kept in a refrigerator by her makeup table, kept very sharpened. It came out when she went into Betty Ford for rehab, and a reporter saw her without them.
shhhh they trim, pluck and wax , because the NATURAL beauty youre speaking of , they have none, so you see .....they use those to get ...more beauty the real woman is the one you look at in the very morning when you wake up and shes still sleeping
With her world famous 69 carat Cartier diamond adorning her lovely chest, nobody had to ask Elizabeth "which designer's jewelry are you wearing tonight?".....She was wearing HER OWN diamonds !!! Although, only the women in the audience were looking at the jewels. The men were looking at something else.
Except for Hello Dolly, I agree. I watch Butch Cassidy fairly regularly, have seen Midnight Cowboy at least a dozen times, and recently saw Anne and Z….surprised how much I enjoyed both of them….what a great year for movies.
I read somewhere that Liz Taylor was somewhat agitated when doing this as only minutes beforehand Richard Burton had lost out to John Wayne for Best Actor. Burton was nominated 7 times for an Oscar but never won any Oscars.
Kaitain Jones Yeah I could go with that. I've seen wayne before ..his performance didn't grab me..perhaps because I haven't seen much of him or I didn't watch his film long enough.
Elizabeth Taylor was 38 years old. She looked amazing.
+Deivid io She looks like 40+. She always looked older in my opinion. No hate.
+eduarda cavani I agree with you. Maybe she looks like 40+, but she still looks great. I love those eyes and the colour of her skin.
+Deivid io bahhh hahahhaa she looks like a Manitee :) .... wonder what she tipped the Toledo's at ?? I'm guession 150-160 .... bahhhahahaaa

his best performance was in rainman
You are right!
Randy Bailin He had better performances www.imdb.com
Marla Singer No way! He had many better performances than Rainman! Midnght Cowboy, Kramer vs Kramer, Tootsie, The Graduate to name a few.
Randy Bailin who did win that year ? This film was rated X in my state at the time , strange how it won when people were so uptight over certain material matter.
My god , Liz was beautiful
RIP
Gorgeous forever on the internet
Elizabeth is gorgeous. But I prefer her without the tan. Her natural color was striking. What a beauty.
Is that really a spray on tan?
She loved the sun and often vacationed Acapulco.
No, love the tan!
I agree, she would look better without the tan!
Oh fuck up with your demands as to what a woman should look like
I remember seeing this live on the living room floor. I remember that dress, the necklace, the tan and that face like it was yesterday.
Lucky you! I wish I was born in an earlier decade.
The 69 carat Cartier diamond Richard Burton gave her was dazzling. I could not take my eyes off of it.
that tan is not normal

TobieSoft Wayne was barely an actor at all. He was a movie star.
Kaitain Jones Yeah I could go with that. I've seen wayne before ..his performance didn't grab me..perhaps because I haven't seen much of him or I didn't watch his film long enough.
Burton should have received as Oscar for his role as O'Brien in "1984"- and many others, too.
Hid it well.
