Apparently, after he got this, he went home, got undressed, curled up in his bed, and had a massive panic attack for the first time in his life because he felt that his career was over and he couldn't imagine a life without acting. He did an interview about it last year.
I never knew this about Hoffman, he is a very emotional person. If you have seen Inside the Actors' Studio, he is very emotional. One hell of a great actor.
I want to see the salutes for Dustin. Why aren't they here??? He is soooooooooo sweet, and a giant at acting, so I wanna see what his friends shared in that night.
Dear AFI I've been looking for more videos about this particular night. Please, upload more videos from the Life Achievement Award of the wonderful Dustin Hoffman!!!
I am his BIGGEST FAN on EARTH !! I have watched all his movies right from The Graduate to Barney's Version.. He is the BEST actor ever.. he is flawless and method acting at its best ! I'd love to meet him atleast once.. that's my aim in life.. Pl thumbs up so someone close to him or he himself could view this comment !!!
He became a legend in that one look in Midnight Cowboy. You all know which look...that moment of pure emotion where everything behind his face tells you everything you need to know about that character. 👏👏👏
Hoffman is maybe the best actor of all time. He made so many different kinds of movies. More than any other great actor. Dustin is one of the greatest of all time!
method actor or spontaneous.. greatest or not.. good or flawed.. genius or weak.. successful or wiser... It take guts to choose, go ahead and to do the job one dreamt of - every single day until there last breath. Hoffman sir, is shamelessly living exactly the same gutsy life... Making every person around him (of any profession) who procrastinates, complain, throws bundles of advices for free - Uncomfortable for that very intimate moment. --love n respect from india
Have people like Paul Scofield(Ok he didnt do a lotta movies it's true) or Peter O'Toole get these 'awards"? C'mon people. It's a rigged political popular hand me down show. Having said that, Hoffman has always been a fine man & a fine actor.
one of the best actors in history of cinema

Been doing the same
I just love Dustin Hoffman, a very understated humble and great man/actor, I remember sharing a flight to Vegas once with his agent.
Oh, Dustin.. He had me tearing up with him at 2:52 :(
This man is not just a wonderful actor, but also a top class human being.
Wow! Even when he reads directly from the notes, he manage to sound touched and honest from his heart!
How do you get your head around such humbleness? Dustin Hoffman is a God.
Very nice...and the only one is the "Done too soon" video that is still living. Thanks for posting this tribute to Mr. Hoffman
His wife is one lucky woman! We are so lucky to have known him as the brilliant actor he is.
A very touching speech and he is obviously overwhelmed

Thank you, AFI, for posting this.
Probably the only greatest actor who is so underrated- DUSTIN HOFFMAN
I love you, Toots! 😘
so humble.. and honest
Well deserved. Love you always Dustin!
Dustin Hoffman is amazing guy!
he deserve it.
The 20th century was indeed grand.
he is awesome!
The 🐐
you ever notice how nervous he is? His hands are shaking the card constantly and he keeps stuttering every few words.
can you upload some clips from this tribute?
Nice

It's the "American" Film Institute, not the "British".
he deserves much more work for his caliber of acting then the BS Meet the Parents franchse
Great speech...but that intro music is cheesy as hell...
@NhadzIsCured,
Yeah man, where the fuck is Hopkins' award?
GREAT DISCOVGRY. WHAT'S WP, UNDESIRABLE TRITE WHAT'S HAPPENING, GU}S. !!
