This is one of the best acceptance speeches ever: brief, funny, humble, appreciative of his peers and with a heartfelt dedication to the ones he loves. Just great.
Man, I'm loving these recent winners for the Best Supporting Actor category. Christian Bale, Christopher Plummer, J.K. Simmons, Mahershala Ali, and now Sam Rockwell! So proud!
Not only that, but 7 of the last 9 Supporting Actor winners (including the last 5 in a row, counting Rockwell) are ALL first-time nominees. Interestingly, Sam Rockwell is also the ONLY first-time nominee of the bunch in this ceremony (ALL the other 4 nominees have been nominated at least once before).
@@notsoaveragejoe2039 He had 16 minutes of screen time and he delivered a powerful performance making the absolute most of his character (Unlike Shannon who tried but couldn't quite manage to elevate the material, though I wouldn't blame him, Nocturnal Animal's screenplay it's awful). Also, stay tuned to watch his performance in Green Book. He might blow us all away there.
Oh you are so right! He scared the shit out of me as a kid. I loved this movie when I was young and it took me years to get that psycho crazy image of him out of my head since he left such a big impression on me in this role.
He was pretty good in that movie, but Michael Clarke Duncan was infinitely better than anyone else in the category that year (except maybe Tom Cruise).
Hands down the best shout out I've ever heard. Woody and Willem will definitely get their own gold guy. They consistently do outstanding work. Big fan of both of them.
@@IvanPolyansky but has he got an oscar , he is much better than many actors who have won an oscar , and this year he gave an absolutely flawless performance in the lighthouse , he absolutely deserved an oscar for that but those basterds didn't even gave him a recognition
I definitely think it's too early to determine who will get nominated or win next year, but I do really want Dafoe get an Oscar soon. However, I 100% agree with Rockwell winning this year!
+Kip Walker He’s definitely one of the front runners, along with Bale (Backseat), and Gosling (First Man). Other possibilities are Carrell/ Chalamet (Beautiful Boy), and Lucas Hedges (Boy Erased).
Sam Rockwell... just saw him in the underappreciated "Richard Jewell." He was excellent as always. He brings a lot of internal fire to every performance he gives. Good for him.
@degree7 Yeah, and what have you done with your life that compares to that dead junkie? How many lives have you enriched? How many people have you inspired? How many artistic highs have you reached?
"My Dad called me from the principal's office when I was eight. He looked very solemn. He said something about Grandma. We were on the car. I asked him "What's wong with Grandma??" And he said "Nothing, we're going to the movies"
I still can't believe Allison Janney and Sam Rockwell were never nominated for an Oscar before, I can understand for Allison she never got quality or important roles in films but Sam has given so many fine performances in films especially conviction and moon, it's seriously about time
True. Janney's is even more surprising to me personally especially since her filmography is actually rather impressive, in spite of the fact that she appears more frequently in television. Don't forget that Janney has appeared in moves like THE HELP, JUNO, AMERICAN BEAUTY, and more. All 3 of them were Best Picture nominees, with AMERICAN BEAUTY even being a Best Picture winner. Interesting side note: Allison Janney is the 6th cast member of THE HELP to win an Oscar. The others who've won are Mary Steenburgen, Sissy Spacek (both won Supporting and Lead Actress Oscars respectively in 1980), Octavia Spencer (who won for THE HELP), Viola Davis, and Emma Stone (they won Supporting and Lead Oscars in 2016 respectively). Also, whenever Octavia Spencer was nominated, she either won or was beaten by her fellow THE HELP cast member (she won on her first nomination, lost her second nod to Viola Davis, and lost her third nomination to Allison Janney).
axr714 American Beauty should had been her maiden nomination, her performance as that catatonic woman was breathtaking despite almost nill dialogues and less screen time
Joaquin Phoenix did that at the Golden Globes last year. I speculated it was to divert attention from the award itself so that he could talk about something that mattered to him more..?
@@yvesheinrich5013 Exactly. I want to be entertained not preached to. Everyone has their own opinion, which is fine. I would just prefer to watch them perfecting their art. It's pretty great that they mention a parent or colleague but I can do without politics.
I can't think of a single role that Sam didn't pour his heart and soul into. He is a consummate actor, an amazing dancer and seems like a great guy. He deserves the Oscar every time for everything.
I've always liked Sam Rockwell. Frost/Nixon, Green Mile, The Way Way Back, Hitchhiker's Guide (I have not seen Moon yet). So glad he's an oscar nominee/winner
I just watched Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and boy did he nail it! I recommend both that and Seven Psychopaths if you want great comedic performances from Sam!
Viola Davis is gorgeous! As for Sam Rockwell, I don't wonder he won the Oscar, he is a hell of an actor, period! He should win next year too, for his role in Richard Jewell, excellent film as well. Thank you for posting.
I'm not an Oscar fan, but I love well-done movies. THAT was some serious competition for the award. Any time you beat out Willem Dafoe and Woody Harrelson, not to mention Christopher Plummer, you done good work. And Viola Davis looked stunning in her gown.
One of my favorite wins & speeches ever, it was just pure, fun & those praise with his nominees was class, his story for his love of film, plus that shout out to Phil. Truly a deserved win.
I like replaying the announcements and watching everyone’s faces one by one. Really lets you see them as a genuine person for a microsecond, whether they’re more disappointed or proud, or surprised and it helps you see them for who they really are. Maybe I’m just too high.
Neelabhra Roy I respectfully disagree. Also, as great as JK Simmons was in WHIPLASH, he was third best of the decade for me (after Rockwell and Jared Leto), and I frankly believe Simmons should have at least tied with Ethan Hawke for BOYHOOD that year (Hawke's character evolves over the course of his movie, and his change is presented in a really believable manner). Interesting Side Note: This marks the 5th year in a row (and the 7th in 9 years) where a first-time nominee won the Supporting Actor category.
Wow, you can tell people just love Sam Rockwell, look at the smiles on the faces of his co-stars. I bet he's one of those people who just brings positive energy and light to everything he does.
You can tell that Willem really wanted it, he looks a bit disappointed. Sam definitely deserved it and I’m glad he won, I just hope Willem wins one some day because he is a phenomenal actor as well.
I have such mad, mad appreciation for him saying that he looked up to the actors nominated alongside him. It was true. He was the youngest of that lot, and he's been watching them all his life, and he's been working with them in theatre for years. That nod to Phil Hoffman was heartbreaking. From interviews, it looked like they were very good friends and had the same mentors. They supported and pushed each other to be the best actors, and again, they came from the same generation who idolized all these greats Sam was nominated with.
5) Plummer, 4) Jenkins, 3) Harrelson, 2) Dafoe, 1) Rockwell Excellent field in all honesty, and personally I wouldn't have minded seeing anyone of these men win. Rockwell's performance is impressive and his win deserved, and calls to mind J. K. Simmon's nuanced villain portrayal of Terrence Fletcher.
Comparing the bumbling Rockwell to the spellbinding and terrifying Simmons? What a joke. :/ Willem Dafoe should have won. He gave the performance of his career in The Florida Project.
+BlueFox94 I respect your opinion, but I honestly feel Rockwell hands down deserved this, not only because of playing a complex character as mentioned by the Emi Grant, but also because his performance was thoroughly convincing (you could feel sympathy for a character such as this, which is very difficult to do). Also, in retrospect, as great as JK Simmons was (and I really have no problems with his win by the way), I felt Ethan Hawke should have won for BOYHOOD that year.
One interesting observation: 7 of the last 9 Supporting Actor winners (including the last 5 in a row, counting Rockwell) are ALL first-time nominees. Interestingly, Sam Rockwell is also the ONLY first-time nominee of the bunch (ALL the other 4 nominees in this category have been nominated at least once before).
Seriously, he's crazy talented, but how did he just now win for this and not the Green Mile? Wild Bill was an even meatier role, I think. He seems real down-to-earth and cool which is also awesome.
His performance in GM was so convincing. That movie had brilliant acting from every single cast member. I don't know why it's not considered the best prison movie of all time
I am from Missouri. My people are from rural North Central Missouri. But I know the Ozarks, I know all the corners of the state. Most importantly I know the hills in the the Southern part of the state. It's all true. From Jennifer Lawrence to Sam Rockwell to Francis Mcdormand, this is a place, we are real.

He didn't forget his past friend, respect.
Yeah 💪💪💪💪💞
I thought he meant Philip Seymour Hoffman
@@lonewolfprogrammer8932 yes it was.
We'll never forget PSH. His work will forever live on.
Sam Rockwell is the man
his name is Rockwell... so he rocks well? omg
His best movie was Clownhouse
I like his performance in moon.
He rocks well so it is Rockwell
First noticed him as 'Jealous' in the film Light sleeper.
This is one of the best acceptance speeches ever: brief, funny, humble, appreciative of his peers and with a heartfelt dedication to the ones he loves. Just great.
He's really good. He's a once in a century actor
yeah and no preachy shit abt politics or the climate change, love to see that
yeah, that was incredibly concise. well done
Frances Mcdormand just looks like the sweetest most supporting woman ever in this
she looks so proud
She is
I always loved her vibe
She is actually the greatest actress of all time
@@LucasNauanglad she won her Oscar too
Congratulations, Sam Rockwell. I have been a fan of yours since The Green Mile.
Movies by Angel me since Charlie's Angels
me from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles :))
Me too ♥ Such an underrated actor ♥ The best ♥
True that, he was also great in Matchstick Men.
Since Box of Moonlight
It took him 4 years to win so he could honor and dedicate the award to his late pal, Philip Seymour Hoffman. Respect.
Finally, he should have won Best Actor for Moon 9 years ago and he wasn't even nominated
Emi Grant He should have also won best supporting actor for The Green Mile
Eric Burns nah homie
he was absolutely hilarious in Hitchikers Guide and Galaxy Quest. He's brilliant in Green Mile.
Agree, Moon is the shit!! Incredible performance!
Emi Grant that’s movie was awesome and so underrated
I like how he kissed everybody
Yes he’s so cute.
Yeah. And i like how put the oscar and the envelope on the floor turn around take out the speech from the jacket
2:35 Wait a minute...*I'VE* looked at a billboard... SAM ROCKWELL THANKED ME IN HIS SPEECH
Love it!
Me too 🤣🤣 cool!
lol
Christopher Plummer replaced a man after they were done filming and was so good he got nominated. What a legend.
We'll never forget him.
@@annafowdy no we won’t
Proud of the CEO of Hammer Advanced Weapons Systems
Tony Stark so jealous lol
And his widow
Yes he’s come a long way
Glad to see him and Christine Everheart together
It was HAMMER TIME!
Man, I'm loving these recent winners for the Best Supporting Actor category. Christian Bale, Christopher Plummer, J.K. Simmons, Mahershala Ali, and now Sam Rockwell! So proud!
How about Christoph Waltz, Jared Leto, and Mark Rylance?
Not only that, but 7 of the last 9 Supporting Actor winners (including the last 5 in a row, counting Rockwell) are ALL first-time nominees. Interestingly, Sam Rockwell is also the ONLY first-time nominee of the bunch in this ceremony (ALL the other 4 nominees have been nominated at least once before).
I would change Mahershala Ali for Michael Shannon and his performance in Nocturnal Animals, even Jeff Bridges in hell or higher water was better
Mehershla winning was a joke. He had five minutes of screen time and a pretty basic performance. How that won over Michael Shannon is beyond me.
@@notsoaveragejoe2039 He had 16 minutes of screen time and he delivered a powerful performance making the absolute most of his character (Unlike Shannon who tried but couldn't quite manage to elevate the material, though I wouldn't blame him, Nocturnal Animal's screenplay it's awful). Also, stay tuned to watch his performance in Green Book. He might blow us all away there.
He actually deserves to win again in 2020, for his role in Jojo Rabbit as Captain K, Wooo!
roderigck el hanzle agreed, my favorite fictional character
Absolutely!
Rosie too
Agree
CAAAPPTTAIIINN K WOOOOOOOO
I can't believe he turned 50 yesterday...he looks like he was 38 at most. Happy birthday Sam, I love you
So he's 55 now?! What the hell, he's got them Tom Cruise genes
So happy that won but this should have been Sam Rockwell's second Oscar nomination, his first should have been for The Green Mile
Eric Burns Third or Fourth* Don’t forget Confessions of A Dangerous Mind and Moon
He says "What you lookin at" in both movies!!!!
Oh you are so right! He scared the shit out of me as a kid. I loved this movie when I was young and it took me years to get that psycho crazy image of him out of my head since he left such a big impression on me in this role.
He was pretty good in that movie, but Michael Clarke Duncan was infinitely better than anyone else in the category that year (except maybe Tom Cruise).
Lo odié en esa película. Tan buen actor es.
Off topic, but Viola Davis was rocking that pink dress. 😍
Zayn Bradford I liked it better that her red dress last year.
agree
Zayn Bradford she looked STUNNING!!!
🙌
Zayn Bradford she looked like a cartoon in that hairstyle
"For my old buddy Phill Hoffman" :(
heartbreaking final line, i can't think of a comparable one
P.S.H. forever in our thoughts and hearts. Sam killin' it.
Hands down the best shout out I've ever heard. Woody and Willem will definitely get their own gold guy. They consistently do outstanding work. Big fan of both of them.
Apparently they never did a movie together. It’s a shame that’ll never happen :’(
The most underrated actor in the history of Hollywood finally gets his recognition!!
@Diego Pisfil idiot huh?
History? Jesus Christ! Willem Dafoe is laughing out loud yet crying
@@danielcastillo9587 he was nominated for an Oscar multiple times, and had received many other awards during his career.

Knew he'd win but damn did I want Willem Dafoe to finally win an Oscar!
I have a feeling he will someday!
He will next year for his performance as Van Gough
I definitely think it's too early to determine who will get nominated or win next year, but I do really want Dafoe get an Oscar soon. However, I 100% agree with Rockwell winning this year!
Willem Dafoe should have won for The Boondocks Saints.

Arguably one of the greatest acting performances of all time.
Both him and frances

When is Willem Dafoe finally gonna get the Oscar he deserves. I have nothing against Sam Rockwell, but I really want Willem to win.

Always loved Sam Rockwell. He is great in everything he does. Definitely one of the most underrated actors.

I can't think of a single role that Sam didn't pour his heart and soul into. He is a consummate actor, an amazing dancer and seems like a great guy. He deserves the Oscar every time for everything.
YES! 😭❤
A very talented, energetic, multi-versatile actor in our very own Era.
Very well deserved! Sam Rockwell knocked it out of the park. It was an incredible performance!
@Diego Pisfil idiot keeps going huh
Loved how Frances looked genuinely happy for Sam for this win, and winning shortly in the evening.
Sam Rockwell is CRIMINALLY underrated!!!!!
Love his work
Not any more, he's got an Oscar! ;-) Nah you're right, he should be a much bigger star than he is.
Loved how he mentions Phillip Seymour at the end.
I've always liked Sam Rockwell. Frost/Nixon, Green Mile, The Way Way Back, Hitchhiker's Guide (I have not seen Moon yet). So glad he's an oscar nominee/winner
richfictionfighter Moon is without a doubt his life performance.
Oh man, Moon is absolutely incredible. Have you seen it yet?
Moon might be one of the greatest sci fi classics never to have been
He was good in Cowboys and Aliens too.
I just watched Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and boy did he nail it! I recommend both that and Seven Psychopaths if you want great comedic performances from Sam!
Everybody in this Category deserved it, but Rockwell is truely the most underrated out of all of them, so his Win is Justified!
For my old buddy Phill Hoffman! (philip seymour hoffman)
He was robbed of several nominations. Conviction and The Green Mile always comes to mind. He was AMAZING in both films!
One of the most underrated actors working!!
@Diego Pisfil same idiot huh
Viola Davis is gorgeous! As for Sam Rockwell, I don't wonder he won the Oscar, he is a hell of an actor, period! He should win next year too, for his role in Richard Jewell, excellent film as well. Thank you for posting.
I love Sam Rockwell and that he's now referred to as "Academy Award Winner", because that is forever as my love for this man.
Another favorite movie of mine with Sam Rockwell is “The Way Way Back”.
I also love that movie💙😊
I love that movie so much, so underrated! I can’t hear I need a hero without thinking of him😂
I'm not an Oscar fan, but I love well-done movies. THAT was some serious competition for the award. Any time you beat out Willem Dafoe and Woody Harrelson, not to mention Christopher Plummer, you done good work.
And Viola Davis looked stunning in her gown.
Just watched the movie again, left me in tears, again... And had to see the speech... again! What an actor, what a man!
I LOVED him in THE GREEN MILE! Was he even nominated?
No. This was the first time he was nominated. Also, we was nominated this year in Vice.
Well Deserved... Fantastic acting mate. CONGRATS !!!
This is how u make a speech. Short but effective
One of my favorite wins & speeches ever, it was just pure, fun & those praise with his nominees was class, his story for his love of film, plus that shout out to Phil. Truly a deserved win.
WAY OVERDUE. I love Sam Rockwell.
He should have danced.
"Moon" is a masterpiece of acting!
I’ll never forget seeing him as Guy in Galaxy Quest.
He’s awesome!!
I like replaying the announcements and watching everyone’s faces one by one. Really lets you see them as a genuine person for a microsecond, whether they’re more disappointed or proud, or surprised and it helps you see them for who they really are.
Maybe I’m just too high.
No You're not , i'm watching again
One of the best win in this category in last recent years Congratulations Sam you deserved it 👏👏👏👍👍👍😊😊😊
P.S Thumbnail isn't good 😕😕😕
I agree. Of all the performances that won this category since 2010 (film release year), this is easily the best I've seen of the bunch.
axr714 Frankly I think JK Simmons for Whiplash is the best of the decade but this is a close second
Neelabhra Roy I respectfully disagree. Also, as great as JK Simmons was in WHIPLASH, he was third best of the decade for me (after Rockwell and Jared Leto), and I frankly believe Simmons should have at least tied with Ethan Hawke for BOYHOOD that year (Hawke's character evolves over the course of his movie, and his change is presented in a really believable manner).
Interesting Side Note: This marks the 5th year in a row (and the 7th in 9 years) where a first-time nominee won the Supporting Actor category.
A better win than last year for sure
Rockwell is Hollywood's rare gem. So talented and charismatic, it's crazy.
Well deserved! Sam Rockwell hit's the ball out of the park in most movies that he acts in. I am so happy for him.
Best actor ever with best father ever xD
I was so proud of him. Sam is really a great great actor !! Need more of him :)
Brilliant performance, a well deserved win.
The stage was really beautiful this year !
My god Viola and that dress.. straight GODDESS 😍
One of the greatest acceptance speeches ever by a really great Actor and a wonderful person..
Wow, I already adored him, but did NOT remember that shout out to the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman. Beautiful.
Damn, imagine being nominated next these insanely talented actors and then WINNING!! Truly an awesome night!
Michael Shannon should've been nominated.
Adam Dow Did you know that he was apparently watching the Oscars from a bar in Chicago?
Joe Whitehead Really? Bet he celebrated.
Maybe or Patrio Stewart for Logan
Joe Whitehead lol that’s classic Shannon
Wow, you can tell people just love Sam Rockwell, look at the smiles on the faces of his co-stars. I bet he's one of those people who just brings positive energy and light to everything he does.
His Eric Knox villain was surprisingly charismatic, I actually felt bad for him at the end of Charlie's Angels.
Sam is the fifth consecutive first time nominee winner.
I think William Dafoe, deserves the Oscar. He's such a great actor.
Amazing performance. Every time he was on screen I was dying laughing. Favorite performance of the year.
So beautiful that he thanked Philip Seymour Hoffman 👏👏👏
You can tell that Willem really wanted it, he looks a bit disappointed. Sam definitely deserved it and I’m glad he won, I just hope Willem wins one some day because he is a phenomenal actor as well.
A very well deserved one. Great performance by him, one of the best performances I have seen ever.
Justin fucking Hammer.
Credit to Sam Rockwell, brilliant to see. Props to both Jenkins and Harrelson, both were also truly superb in their roles.
That was rock n roll acting but Sam Rockwell was going to Pixar Animation Studio.
I have such mad, mad appreciation for him saying that he looked up to the actors nominated alongside him. It was true. He was the youngest of that lot, and he's been watching them all his life, and he's been working with them in theatre for years. That nod to Phil Hoffman was heartbreaking. From interviews, it looked like they were very good friends and had the same mentors.

Finally! He's been fantastic for years. Congrats Sam.
5) Plummer, 4) Jenkins, 3) Harrelson, 2) Dafoe, 1) Rockwell
Excellent field in all honesty, and personally I wouldn't have minded seeing anyone of these men win. Rockwell's performance is impressive and his win deserved, and calls to mind J. K. Simmon's nuanced villain portrayal of Terrence Fletcher.
Comparing the bumbling Rockwell to the spellbinding and terrifying Simmons? What a joke. :/
Willem Dafoe should have won. He gave the performance of his career in The Florida Project.
+BlueFox94 He was good but Rockwell was
excellent and benefited from having the more complex charachter, which only added to his performance.

+axr714 My exact same thoughts, though, we're gonna have a problem with the 2014 supporting category
@Diego Pisfil I personally found The Florida Project disappointing and Three Billboards couldn't be any further away from that.
Just finished this movie. All cast deserved Oscars. So thrilled he won!
i've been a fan of sam for a long time , and i knew it that he would win an oscar some day
A much underrated actor. Love him in every movie he's been in. Especially in "Galaxy Quest".
Sam is a truly underrated actor, every role he has in any movie he do it perfectly. Well deserved. God bless Sam.
Totally deserved. And men what a great speech!
One interesting observation: 7 of the last 9 Supporting Actor winners (including the last 5 in a row, counting Rockwell) are ALL first-time nominees. Interestingly, Sam Rockwell is also the ONLY first-time nominee of the bunch (ALL the other 4 nominees in this category have been nominated at least once before).
The shout-out to Phil at the end sealed the deal for me.
He was amazing in "Matchstick Man" with Nicolas Cage
I love that he kisses Frances on the mouth. They’re on and off screen friendship is everything!!
I think it was by accident?
Seriously, he's crazy talented, but how did he just now win for this and not the Green Mile? Wild Bill was an even meatier role, I think. He seems real down-to-earth and cool which is also awesome.

Great actor. He's learned how to channel his manic energy into some great characters.

Very well deserved... Sam Rockwell's performance was fascinatingly original!
