An American Werewolf in London Wins Makeup: 54th Oscars (1982)

Hearing Vincent Price mutter, "YES!" after Rick Baker thanks for the Academy making the category made me smile. A man of horror and cinema who knows how essential make up artists are to the genre, and to filmmaking.
It’s hard to believe that makeup artist were overlooked for so long before this. Crazy.
Someday someone will make the same comment on youtube but about the stunt category
@@SaturnBoy87 no, hairstyling
Damn right. There's a reason why Rick has won 7 Academy Awards for his work. Because it's fucking brilliant.
The werewolf make-up isn’t the only reason why “An American Werewolf in London” won the first Academy Award for Best Make-up and Hairstyling. The make-up work on Griffin Dune during his appearances to David as an undead zombie and his different stages of decay he appears in are also another benefactor as well to “Werewolf in London’s” win as well.
I get a tear in my eye watching this. I saw Life Magazine in 1980, featuring Rick's work on AWIL, and I literally knew at that second that I would become a professional and do the type of work that I saw on those pages. It's been over 35 years that I've been working professionally, and it's all thanks to Rick Baker!
Why did Vincent Price never get an Oscar? He should have at least gotten a lifetime achievement award, am I right?!
I have no clue, honestly. But you are right.
I totally agree !!
TheVaultMaster I don't know. But I don't think he needed an Oscar. I thought he was happy to announce the winner.
Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, and Christopher Lee all three should have gotten an award. The first ever "Trinity" award because let's face it- rarely has a trio of friends influenced a genre such as these three did the horror genre.
Vincent Price spent a great deal of his career appearing in horror films. Historically, the academy has never given much love to that particular genre.
I love how they play Blue Moon after Rick's name was announced.
An American Werewolf in London has great makeup.
He was a real tease. Furry hussy with all that makeup.
Rick Baker is brilliant. He should have gotten an Oscar much earlier for his work on King Kong 1976.
I couldn't think of anyone else who would ever deserve this award than Rick for AAWIL. Best makeup work and practical effects of all time.
Definitely up there - but so it Rob Bottin's work on The Thing.
Both The Thing and American Werewolf are the 2 movies I always show to people who think that practical fx aren't as good as modern CGI.
And whoever I've shown them too concede that I am correct.
I'd also throw "The Thing", "The Fly", "Bram Stoker's Dracula", "Ed Wood", "Mad Max: Fury Road" and "Suspiria" into the mix.
Will C- Agreed. I wrote this a long time ago when I was kind of on my kick of this movie haha
@@VampireJack10 yeah i agree rob bottin but also stan winston and who could forget the god father of special effects ray harryhausen
@@AngelofMusic04 Rick worked on Ed Wood as well.
Rick Baker is the Jack Pierce of our generation.
Hell yeah
Wow, Rick, what a surprisingly un-nervous sounding speech you delivered! You must have rehearsed that a lot, I imagine. I can't believe it took until 1982 to recognize the importance of this category. From the very beginning this was a very important part of the filmmaking process.
The transition of the werewolf in that movie was the best!
....the beast
A well deserved Oscar 🙌 Rick Baker aka Legend!
He won the Oscar for Best Makeup 6 more times after that. His most recent win was for the 2010 film The Wolfman.
I remember seeing Kim in NY just before she went out to present this. She was so excited. She felt the exposure would be good. I disagree about the dress. I think Kim (nearly 60 at the time) looks sensational in what would be her sole appearance as an Oscar presenter. Her and Vincent Price together exude a certain classiness that is sorely missed from the more recent Oscars. Let's hope someone changes that....
Unfortunately the era of the "Golden Age" of Hollywood is long gone. There was a period of genuine class. Where actors didn't feel the need to have their personal views on matters heard, they understood to do so would be to alienate a huge portion of your fan base. Those classic musicals like Singing in the Rain, All the musicals with Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, great actors like Humphrey Bogart Lauren Bacall, Betty Davis, I can go on and on. I know they weren't perfect yet they exuded class and they demonstrated what it is to the personification of the word. Today's actors . sorely use some guidance from the era. Yet alas I doubt it very much. We have actors using award shows as platforms to take cheap shots at the President of the USA and the sad thing is the excutives of these shows allow them to be aired.
@@LS-ti1rz Oh, bullshit, Trumper. Pay attention. Presenters and recipients of Oscars have expressed their "personal views" at the ceremony for decades, long before this.
since then Rick baker has been nominated for 12 Oscars, and has won 7 of them for Harry & The Hendersons, Ed Wood, The Nutty Professor, Men In Black, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and The Wolfman
What a great choice as the first winner of the category. The transformation scene is shocking to this day. But the whole team should have gotten a statue. The visual effects combined with creature work made that scene what it is. And Landis's staging is terrifying. Having the werewolf look into the camera during this scene is one of the scariest things I've ever seen.
You would have thought that the arguably greatest achievement in movie make up, Planet of the Apes, would have been part of the montage, especially with Kim Hunter as presenter. And I'm also surprised Baker didn't mention its makeup's creator, John Chambers, as whenever Baker is interviewed he almost always mentions how it was Chambers' work that predominantly inspired him to become a SFX makeup artist in the biz.
Wow, Rick handled that speech like a vet. He was a handsome gent back then, look at him. Well-croped. People had a lot of hair back then.
This is the first Oscar win for Rick Baker on his delightful makeup work in John Landis' An American Werewolf in London in 1982.
Great moment. A very important department on cinema art.
Rick Baker is a true talent in his work. What's so great about him is that he loves his job so much that he keeps doing such fantastic work in movies like Men In Black 1-3, The Wolfman, and many others.
You can tell that Rick Baker is a good person.
Because of a less than a minute long and obviously rehearsed acceptance speech? How sweetly naive of you.
I had no idea Vincent Price presented this award! That's awesome.
I still can't believe there was a time when Makeup wasn't a category at the Oscars, so weird to think most of the movies they mentioned in the intro never had a chance to win the award.
When he changes in American werewolf in London ThaThaT is my favorite scene of all Time
I'm glad they've kept the award since... I just wish they added it earlier.
RIP Kim Hunter [Janet Cole] I'll always remember you as my childhood heroine, Dr.Zira.
Retire the category when Rick Baker retires. Ahhh, I still miss Vincent Price.
Stupidest Comment of the Day winner. Nine years later!
This award should have been instituted the year before, so "The Elephant Man" could have won.
And he went on to win 6 more. Adding up to 7 total!
First Makeup Oscar ever.
Only two nominees.
Baker. Winston.
Wow.
Nope. John Chambers in 1968.
I've always known that the Academy gave a special award to The Seven Faces of Dr Lao for it's Makeup. And I've always found amazing that, even after that, it took them 17 years to create the Makeup category. Yes, many movies could have been awarded as Makeup before An American... .
Vincent Price and Johnny Carson? This is so cool.
So, we got Stella and Professor Ratigan at the Oscars.
Frickin' smart!! :D
R.I.P VINCENT PRICE AND JOHNNY CARSON !!!!!!!!
i like how you can tell the audience was caught off guard when linda blair appeared
Did the thing win an Oscar for effects or the fly two movies right there who definitely should of
The Thing had to have at least been nominated. I'd be shocked if it weren't.
It was from this year forward that Best Makeup be introduced as a category.
@leonardodp34 Yea the only reason they created this category was because people were complaining that the makeup work in "The Elephant Man" was recognized the year before. Such a shame they didn't create this category years before
Vicent the Legend Price.
Yes, and also Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, King Kong (1976), The Fearless Vampire Killers, and so on.
The comment I had answered was deleted. I mentioned some films that probably would win the Oscar for makeup if the category had been created well before 1982.
The rumour is that the award was specifically created for Baker as the people behind the Oscar's felt that it would be a crime if his work went by unrewarded.
Strange that when listing the previous examples in cinema history, they don't say the names of the artists involved, only the actors. Surely that couldn't have been too hard.
Rick's the Muhammed Ali and Michael Jordan of motion picture make-up art!
Rick Baker is a great, great artist!!!!!!
I have tried numerous times to post this video on my Facebook page but it seems either you or for some reason it will not be allowed to do so. Could you please explain why this short video isn't allowed to be posted. I'm just trying to share with others the importance and significance of Rick Baker winning this Oscar. Most young movie goers are accustomed to CGI ONLY and know very little on the masters of makeup, and that's what I was attempting to do. To show its importance. Why are you denying me from doing this?
An American Werewolf in London was a good movie...the make up was deserving of this award.
The Howling not nominated? It was 1982 too
AWIL was a movie worth being mentioned. Howling 1 was low budget. So much so that it impacted the amount of makeup FX they could actually accomplish. They had to resort to cartoon images and Harryhausen style models after the big transform scene. Baker had more gravitas at that point than Rob Bottin, too. They weren't gonna replace AWIL with Howling if AWIL didn't exist. They would've chosen something else or waited til next year. The thing they regretted was not having the category the year before so they could give credit to the work done on John Hurt in The Elephant Man.
nonplayerzealot4 but the transformation scene is epic
What a spectacular set!
We all gonna miss this guy
I think Evil Dead should have been nominated for Best Makeup. Everything was amazing, since the beginning to the ending, where Ash cuts his hand to save himself from the demon. At least, An American Werewolf in London deserved the award.
few nominations that crazy ... but the best one American Werewolf in London.
Rick Baker is the Best
I've been into Vincent Price lately.
I can't believe make-up artists weren't recognized before 1982!!!
1968 John Chambers won a wholly deserved Special Oscar for Planet of the Apes.
My favorite horror film ever!
@cesaraeon Prior to 1982 make-up was rewarded twice. Once in 1964 to the brilliant Bill Tuttle for the great job he did in THE 7 FACES OF DR. LAO and to John Chambers in 1968 for Planet of the Apes. I do know that Kim may argue about the latter as she often said how painful it was to sit for hours in the chair as they made her up as Dr. Zira.
Of course she wouldn't argue. She thought the make up was incredible.
I remember this.. Electric!
Hard to believe I was born 15 years after this
young ass... #theyseemetrollin
I was born 15 years before this. LOL!
Heartbeeps...seriously?!?!?!?
It had great makeup! That's what it was being recognized for.
He won in 2011 for another werewolf
Wow an actual awards show without the politics
Was the audience booing John Landis, because of his responsibility for the death of actor Vic Morrow?
No. The accident and death of Vic Morrow during filming of Twilight Zone: The Movie occurred on July 23, 1982. The Oscars that year took place on March 29. 1982, almost 4 months before the accident.
What a boss! He is the best!
4:07
I hope next year Baker earned a nomination for his work in Maleficent¡¡¡¡¡
yes...he was nominated !!!!...7 he has allready !!!! lets make it 8 !!! He is the most decorated special make up effects artist of all time as it is !!!!
Rick Baker is the best
1 down 6 to go
Horror movies don’t get recognition by The Oscars anymore
Sadly. A lot of good ones with good effects pretty recemtly.
@@tunnelsnakesrule7541 The Black Phone and. Beast deserves some
This looks really old for 1982. Guess that was 30 years ago, though.
Almost forty now, old timer.
Almost 41..
esta claro que su mejor trabajo fue en el exorcista
Queremos o lobisomem americano no mortal kombat
Pity horror movies just use shitty C.G.I now instead of real make up! I heard they are remaking this movie, and I guarantee they use C.G.I and make it look AWFUL!!!!!!!!
The stupid Oscars can have "best song" for years, yet no make up award till 1981.
best!
This was a guy in a suit and prop- not makeup
I know this was 1982, but Kim Hunter's dress was ugly!
awww. I thought she looks good.
It was the 80s, jewel tones.
Rick Baker is the Best.
