Bob Hope presents an Honorary Award to Mickey Rooney, in recognition of his 60 years of versatility in a variety of memorable film performances, at the 55th Academy Awards. Hosted by Richard Pryor.
When I was 32 and living in London UK, the boss of the company for which I was working together with the lawyer of the company did a runner with a huge amount of money. I lost everything. Then, I decided not to work for anybody else, ever again. I moved to a different country, started very small and within 10 years I had a little empire of my own. I worked 14 hours a day. It was damned hard but I've never looked back. Life will knock us down but we can choose whether or not to stand back up. There's always a way.
Total Respect all the way around. Everyone was dressed up and had Class and Dignity to honor a man who was absolutely wonderful in everything he did! Superb human being to be remembered for all Time!!!!!
Reputedly, every actor who'd ever worked with him said that Rooney was the best actor with whom they'd ever worked. If this acceptance speech was extemporaneous, then it is elegant and brilliant. (Having Bob Hope, an Oscar Eminence Grise himself, present to Rooney was inspired.)
Micky Rooney was the master of entertainment - he was most multi-talented actor in his industry and this was the most deserved Oscar Award in the history of entertainment. God bless you Mickey and thank you!
A small guy with an enormous talent. It was sad to see a lot of now other departed faces such as Jack Lemon, Paul Newman and James Mason all of whom I valued very highly.
Mickey Rooney was so lucky. He just went on and on and on working. Maybe his career stalled for a time, but he managed to continue anyway. And his great energy . . . boy did that last. R.I.P. Mickey!
Prince G. Binondo I hear ya ! It's reasons like that amongst many others that I gave up watching the oscars and just about every other awards show for over 2 decades now ....
Prince G. Binondo but they pulled him back up front! i believe it was Paris Hilton who Steve Martin said" look whose here right up front its Paris Hilton and way way back there is Mickey Rooney.!. when the commercial ended justice had been served .
Man, I grew up watching his movies in the late 50s and 60s. And all through my adulthood. Even those campy beach blanket movies with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello. Thanks for the movies Mick!
Mickey Rooney was an exceptional talent that reached out to every generation that came alone and made them a fan ... Hollwood would not be Hollywwod but for craftsmen like Mickey Rooney.
Nice tribute!!!!! One of the best and such a great speech!!!!! R.I.P. Mickey. Thank you for everything that you have done on screen and off!!!! BTW and not to get off-topic, Did anyone notice George C. Scott at 6:38? This is the guy that didn't accept the Oscar, but managed to show up to one. Ironic...
Yes this was the only ceremony he attended. As he was walking in he avoided all press. Army Archard spied him and shouted "Your Oscar is waiting for you at Wilshire and LaPeer!!" The streets referring to the Academy offices.
Im only 39 ,but watching old classics way before my time was the best and nothing but amazing talent. I loved Mickey Rooney with his acting,singing,dancing,comedy .That was such an amazing speech.
Class all the way around. My hat is off to Jack Lemon as he supported Mickey enthusiastic. I remember the Broadway Smash, Sugar Babies & remember Mickey's comeback, as a kid.
Anyone whoever speaks of him said "he had the ability to do ANYTHING" he was so talented. Played drums and other instruments, sings, dances acts. Others looked on in awe. He was "limited" only by his stature and how Jack Warner saw him. Surely after coming back from service there was a place for him. I know his personal life was the stuff of tabloids, but so what. SOMEONE went to see those many movies and liked them and many people in that town liked HIM. Mickey somebody UP THERE like you too!
This has to be the greatest acceptance speech of all time given by a true legend and amazing human being, what a total entertainer and terrific guy, nobody will ever replace the great Mickey Rooney!!!!!!!!!!
Mickey Rooney Wonderful speech very heartfelt great actor! Truly deserving of it Bob Hope wonderful presenter too! miss these great actors and actress of the early years of Hollywood
I absolutely adore Mickey Rooney, and can one say enough about Bob Hope or Richard Pryor? Wish I got to see Sugar Babies. Funny, the Louie B mayer joke was probably not a joke, as Mickey loved the guy. How sad to see that almost everyone who was in closeup in the audience is now gone, including the host Richard Pryor. Great to see Jack Lemmon, just beaming for Mick. Miss him too, very much. Mickey was a tough "little" fella, worked hard, and survived Hollywood, and 8 marriages. God Bless them all! He loved entertaining and we loved him.
the REAL stars in that audience understand the enormity that was mickey rooney....and what he contributed to their medium..... btw...paul newman was kinda good lookin..dont you think?
Mickey was THE best Puck ever! he will never be equalled. one of my very favorite actors as a kid, around eleven and before, i am so. so happy he finally got this award. i miss you, Mickey. ☘️ 🌷🌱 (my other favorite was Spencer Tracy. a great, great actor (and gorgeous in his earlier films :) Here’s to Katherine and Spencer - an incredible pair and both incredible actors ! we miss you, too. 🥂
Such a great talent . I also believe that there was so much that he wanted to say but held back. Hollywood only care about success. Failure is like a disease. Anyone that they think will not bring in audience are ignored. Disgraceful.
An extraordinary talent (watch The Human Comedy, his 2nd Oscar nom) who somehow found a way back after such a long fall. We share a birthday, and I'm so glad he had so many. Wonderful clip.
Yes at the time he got a juvenile Oscar was at the time when child stars were in a different category than adult stars but technically he did get an Oscar since it is an Oscar but just in a different category of Oscars
@@MikeysGayToday He got one in 1939 for the 8 films he made in 1938, but juvenile awards typically aren’t counted as “real” or competitive Oscars, which is why you’ll often hear film fans talk about how Judy Garland never won an Oscar despite being awarded a Juvenile Award for The Wizard of Oz
GENUINE !! Mickey was a legend and gave GOD all the glory !! You can see @7:37 Dustin has tears in his eyes, I was 20 on this night in 1983.....life goes by so fast !!
What his stepson he adopted to him for every penny and treated MICKEY abhorrently and his stepsons wife kept him prisoner..... And then testified at a oversight committee and told his story....people were Agast at a man who took on somebody elses son and treated him like his own and then in your twilight years for it too subjected to that kind of pure torturous events ....They should be languishing in prison.He was married thirteen times or so must enjoy the wedding cake only joking ....he did feature in Night at the museum which brought him success and paid well .....kind hearted man who deserves much more ....but an Oscar can't be bad .His father was from Edinburgh beautiful place to visit your roots......mickey Rooney plenty of memories how can we ever Forget You .
A room full of incredible talent, a speech of total humility, no agendas or politics - the arrogant agenda-driven so-called "actors" of today should take a cue from the great men & women who came before them. Hollywood will never be like that again and we are the worse for it.
Very mediocre, non serious comments by Bob Hope. Mickey Rooney’s speech shows his stature as the truly great and talented entertainer he was. An AMERICAN ORIGINAL
The greatest story I ever heard Mr. Rooney tell during an interview, is how a waiter witnessed to him about the Lord Jesus Christ and how it opened his eyes to the fact that he was a sinner on his way to hell and needed to be saved . Story short, He soon after gave his heart to the Lord and became a Christian .
Were she still with us at the time, I have no doubt in my mind Judy would've already gotten one by that point and even if she hadn't she would've been so happy for her old friend.
She got a Juvenile Oscar in 1939 for The Wizard Of Oz, Mickey Rooney got one also i believe. If Judy was alive she definitely would have gotten an Honorary Oscar (i still believe she deserved to win for A Star Is Born)
The Mick missed a chance here for a big laugh. When he spoke those nice words about his wife, he should have ended by saying, "As we all know, the eighth time is a charm."
Lee Penrose I look way better now than my parents did at the same age.They were of Rooney’s generation and life was a lot harder on them. (Smoking). Still, Mickey lived to 93!
This has got to be one of the greatest acceptance speeches ever. Mickey Rooney has to be remembered for being one of the greatest talents ever in the history of entertainment never to be forgotten EVER!!!!!
Mickey Rooney has outlived all of his peers at his home studio MGM And now "The Mick" is gone. Surely there is a special place in Heaven for these great stars who gave us all so many years of movie Heaven.
Mickey was the best ever. For about a year I kept saying I was going to write a letter to him and procrastinated until now he passed away. One of the things I wanted to tell him was how much he touched my heart in Boys Town. Was just on the Turner channel when he died. Got me again. I am so happy for him that he got the oscar, it sure meant so much to him What a blessing he was.
I have a copy of this and watched the other night. Too bad, you can't see the clip package for Rooney. It was outstanding. He as a true legend, one of the last. RIP.
I know…I don't know why the Oscar channel cuts out the clips. They can't be worried about copyright issues, as they certainly had to get them to put the clips together for the original show in the first place.
That was my immediate reaction. It makes me very sad that the clips of some of Mickey Rooney's wonderful pictures were left out. I think it would make a young person who never saw his work understand better why he AND Judy were so great and why he truly deserved this award and tribute....some of Hollywood's TRUE talents.
Mickey Rooney is the greatest actor in the world" Sir Laurence Olivier. Yes, you read that right. Olivier was one hundred percent correct. Period. Full Stop. End of Story. Among male stars, Only Guinness, Day-Lewis, Hoffman, Oldman, DeNiro, Stewart, O'Toole, Ryu and Mifune come close
This was in 1983, for a 60 years career; incredibly he was still working 30 years later in 2013. Rooney started at age 3 in 1923, a couple of years before Paul Newman, and Jack Lemmon were born in 1925. Newman and Lemmon died in 2008 and 2001 respectively.
I love that he never forgot to mention Judy. That made me emotional. Judy deserved recognition like this for her body of work in entertainment.
she sure did, she gae her life to that shit.
JUDY WOULD HAVE DESERVED IT MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE.
Judy was absolute royalty. So happy he gave her a S/O.
"When I was 40, nobody wanted me. I couldn't get a job." That line has always stayed with me.
Wut?? No quote from "Groundhog Day"???
And I said "How could this happen-I was the biggest star-in the world"
When I was 32 and living in London UK, the boss of the company for which I was working together with the lawyer of the company did a runner with a huge amount of money. I lost everything. Then, I decided not to work for anybody else, ever again. I moved to a different country, started very small and within 10 years I had a little empire of my own. I worked 14 hours a day. It was damned hard but I've never looked back. Life will knock us down but we can choose whether or not to stand back up. There's always a way.
mohammad davoudian Your story is very inspiring. I hope you are doing well now. Thank you for sharing it with us.
mohammad davoudian thank you for this. Inspirational!
R.I.P Mickey. You can put your arm around Judy now.
omg that made me tear
😭😭
No script, and the Mick delivered one fabulous speech!
Caddyjay bbb
yeaa he did.;) awsome!;)
Absolutely
Total Respect all the way around. Everyone was dressed up and had Class and Dignity to honor a man who was absolutely wonderful in everything he did! Superb human being to be remembered for all Time!!!!!
Speech .Talk your. Subjects and Talk from your Heart .Feel the Audience..
Reputedly, every actor who'd ever worked with him said that Rooney was the best actor with whom they'd ever worked.

There will never be another mickey rooney
A small guy with an enormous talent. It was sad to see a lot of now other departed faces such as Jack Lemon, Paul Newman and James Mason all of whom I valued very highly.
Yes, but we have the memories of the greatest actors of 'our' time.
Lemmon
RIP three legends: Richard Pryor, Bob Hope, and Mickey Rooney.
Don't forget George C Scott !!!
@@luishumbertovega3900 Right, he was in attendance at the Oscars for the first time and I'm pretty sure the only time in his life.
Mickey Rooney was so lucky. He just went on and on and on working. Maybe his career stalled for a time, but he managed to continue anyway. And his great energy . . . boy did that last. R.I.P. Mickey!
Even if you were not a fan of Mickey Rooney, which I haven't always been, you had to marvel at his survival and longevity despite the odds.
I loved this man. May God bless him, and keep him safe, in his mercy. ♡
It was disgraceful when after 20 years during the 2003 Oscars. Mickey Rouney was seated at the back because the big stars were all in front...
Prince G. Binondo I hear ya !
It's reasons like that amongst many others that I gave up watching the oscars and just about every other awards show for over 2 decades now ....
Prince G. Binondo but they pulled him back up front! i believe it was Paris Hilton who Steve Martin said" look whose here right up front its Paris Hilton and way way back there is Mickey Rooney.!. when the commercial ended justice had been served .
Leafs Forever they don't celebrate their own history! its all about the next dollar!..
I remember that too. I thought maybe it was some sort of a joke skit at first. It wasn't. They really did that. Disgusting.
Gregg Sinini Who?
"God Bless, and Good Night"
To you as well Mr. Rooney. And thank YOU for all the memories.
Man, I grew up watching his movies in the late 50s and 60s. And all through my adulthood. Even those campy beach blanket movies with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello. Thanks for the movies Mick!
Olivier and Brando both described him as "the best".
mickey rooney could do it all.
NOBODY had more talent then mickey.
Mickey Rooney was an exceptional talent that reached out to every generation that came alone and made them a fan ... Hollwood would not be Hollywwod but for craftsmen like Mickey Rooney.
All the great stars in that audience. Now most of them gone.
True legend! R.I.P my friend.
Nice tribute!!!!! One of the best and such a great speech!!!!! R.I.P. Mickey. Thank you for everything that you have done on screen and off!!!!
BTW and not to get off-topic, Did anyone notice George C. Scott at 6:38? This is the guy that didn't accept the Oscar, but managed to show up to one. Ironic...
and his wife trish van devere
Yes this was the only ceremony he attended. As he was walking in he avoided all press. Army Archard spied him and shouted "Your Oscar is waiting for you at Wilshire and LaPeer!!" The streets referring to the Academy offices.
Jersey Survivor LOL!!!!!
Rip Mickey. Say hi to Judy.
what I beautiful man...really may he rest in peace forever more.
Im only 39 ,but watching old classics way before my time was the best and nothing but amazing talent. I loved Mickey Rooney with his acting,singing,dancing,comedy .That was such an amazing speech.
Class all the way around. My hat is off to Jack Lemon as he supported Mickey enthusiastic. I remember the Broadway Smash, Sugar Babies & remember Mickey's comeback, as a kid.

This has to be the greatest acceptance speech of all time given by a true legend and amazing human being, what a total entertainer and terrific guy, nobody will ever replace the great Mickey Rooney!!!!!!!!!!
One of the more talented actor we have ever had
Mickey Rooney Wonderful speech very heartfelt great actor! Truly deserving of it Bob Hope wonderful presenter too! miss these great actors and actress of the early years of Hollywood
R.I.P. Mickey Rooney (1920-2014)
Beautiful speech
RIP Mickey Rooney
I absolutely adore Mickey Rooney, and can one say enough about Bob Hope or Richard Pryor? Wish I got to see Sugar Babies.

He loved entertaining and we loved him.
What a humble man. And, a beautiful acceptance speech. He "even wants to kiss Louis B. Mayer". Lol
When Oscars meant something...❤️
One of the best there ever will be for all time just Superb !!!!!
you know Hollywood, this is a good moment and he deserved it. but then later, you turned your back on him. how do you live with that?
the REAL stars in that audience understand the enormity that was mickey rooney....and what he contributed to their medium.....
btw...paul newman was kinda good lookin..dont you think?
Mickey was THE best Puck ever! he will never be equalled. one of my very favorite actors as a kid, around eleven and before, i am so. so happy he finally got this award. i miss you, Mickey. ☘️ 🌷🌱
(my other favorite was Spencer Tracy. a great, great actor (and gorgeous in his earlier films :) Here’s to Katherine and Spencer - an incredible pair and both incredible actors ! we miss you, too. 🥂
His stage presence comes through so strongly. Few people could rival Bob Hope but if anyone out there could it was Rooney.
Such a great talent . I also believe that there was so much that he wanted to say but held back. Hollywood only care about success. Failure is like a disease. Anyone that they think will not bring in audience are ignored. Disgraceful.
Who said George C Scott despised the Academy Awards ??? There he is, at 6:38, having a great time. Time is a great leveler !!!
An extraordinary talent (watch The Human Comedy, his 2nd Oscar nom) who somehow found a way back after such a long fall. We share a birthday, and I'm so glad he had so many. Wonderful clip.
Bob hope forever
Back in the day when they gave eloquent speeches, not all the jumping around and trah mouthing like today! R.I.P. Joe Yule! You were awesome.
James Mason 3:55!
Great to see James Mason
Wasn't Mickey Rooney's first Oscar given to him back in 1939? I believe it was a juvenile Oscar.
I do not belive he received a juvenile Oscar
John Beall Yes, he did get one in 1938 or 1939.
Yes, the Oscars made a category just to give him the award.
Yes at the time he got a juvenile Oscar was at the time when child stars were in a different category than adult stars but technically he did get an Oscar since it is an Oscar but just in a different category of Oscars
@@MikeysGayToday He got one in 1939 for the 8 films he made in 1938, but juvenile awards typically aren’t counted as “real” or competitive Oscars, which is why you’ll often hear film fans talk about how Judy Garland never won an Oscar despite being awarded a Juvenile Award for The Wizard of Oz
Grew up watching his films with a young Judy Garland, fabulous times for me
Remember when the Oscars actually had Class and Glamor . . .
Hope and Rooney starred together in “Off Limits”. It is a great comedy!
My fave Mickey Rooney ❤
GENUINE !! Mickey was a legend and gave GOD all the glory !! You can see @7:37 Dustin has tears in his eyes, I was 20 on this night in 1983.....life goes by so fast !!
What his stepson he adopted to him for every penny and treated MICKEY abhorrently and his stepsons wife kept him prisoner.....

So this is where Dana Carvey got his "I was the number one star in the world" reference from
This man saw it all
Have I forgot to tell you guys that Mickey Rooney was the voice of Adult Tod from The Fox and the Hound (1981)?
His death was Andy Hardy's last life lesson. R.I.P.
Er war ein grandioser Schauspieler von der Kindheit an!
George C Scott attending the Oscars. Amazing, and he still won't accept his Oscar for best actor in PATTON.
He can't. He DIED back in September of 1999!!!
Lovely man
A room full of incredible talent, a speech of total humility, no agendas or politics - the arrogant agenda-driven so-called "actors" of today should take a cue from the great men & women who came before them. Hollywood will never be like that again and we are the worse for it.
R.I.P
Hope and Rooney that don't make them type of entertainers no more not in a million years.
It's nice to look back when Hollywood had class and grace!What happen?
The young people and the liberals and cruel people of this country ruined it and everything else!!!!!
On of Bravest speeches ever about a career in Hollywood. Top box office one day...can't get a job the next.
It’s sad he passed away on April 2014.
Very mediocre, non serious comments by Bob Hope.
Mickey Rooney’s speech shows his stature as the truly great and talented entertainer he was.
An AMERICAN ORIGINAL
The greatest story I ever heard Mr. Rooney tell during an interview, is how a waiter witnessed to him about the Lord Jesus Christ and how it opened his eyes to the fact that he was a sinner on his way to hell and needed to be saved . Story short, He soon after gave his heart to the Lord and became a Christian .
I think Judy Garland would deserve an honorary Oscar more than Rooney, even if it is post-mortem.
She got one in 1939.
Were she still with us at the time, I have no doubt in my mind Judy would've already gotten one by that point and even if she hadn't she would've been so happy for her old friend.
She got a Juvenile Oscar in 1939 for The Wizard Of Oz, Mickey Rooney got one also i believe. If Judy was alive she definitely would have gotten an Honorary Oscar (i still believe she deserved to win for A Star Is Born)
Jen House I know she win the juvenile Oscar in 1940 but she should have won for A Star is Born.
Rooney actually looks older than Bob Hope...
5:03 😭
Mickey honorably gives credit to God Almighty
The Mick missed a chance here for a big laugh. When he spoke those nice words about his wife, he should have ended by saying, "As we all know, the eighth time is a charm."
Bob Hope is older than him?
Tbh he looks like hell for 63 here
Lee Penrose I look way better now than my parents did at the same age.They were of Rooney’s generation and life was a lot harder on them. (Smoking). Still, Mickey lived to 93!
2:57
I wonder what happened to his Oscar.
In front of police.
mickey rooney was 17 years younger than bob hope. but why does he look older than bob hope.?
Probably all the drugs MGM gave him and the long hours
And the biggest shame is all of those incredibly talented people are gone and we're left with nothing but a self-righteous class of idiots!!
0:15 "oh shit, the KKK!"
Rooney deserved much more than an "honorary " award" . He was a truly great actor.
Yes, and not just an actor. A song and dance man, a musician, brilliant ... he was quite something.
This has got to be one of the greatest acceptance speeches ever. Mickey Rooney has to be remembered for being one of the greatest talents ever in the history of entertainment never to be forgotten EVER!!!!!
I agree
Mickey Rooney has outlived all of his peers at his home studio MGM
And now "The Mick" is gone. Surely there is a special place in Heaven for these great stars who gave us all so many years of movie Heaven.
Rooney & Garland...two of Hollywood's best. The talent was always there, seldom recognized.
they were too good for these people
I met Mickey Rooney and he was a class act. Very regular and humble to all that talked to him that day.
Rip Mickey Rooney a wonderful legend gone I hope you and Judy garland are performing together non stop in heaven
I remember this Oscar moment like yesterday. Never forgot when he said he couldn't get a job at age 40.
Mickey was the best ever. For about a year I kept saying I was going to write a letter to him and procrastinated until now he passed away. One of the things I wanted to tell him was how much he touched my heart in Boys Town. Was just on the Turner channel when he died. Got me again. I am so happy for him that he got the oscar, it sure meant so much to him What a blessing he was.
I have a copy of this and watched the other night. Too bad, you can't see the clip package for Rooney. It was outstanding. He as a true legend, one of the last. RIP.
I know…I don't know why the Oscar channel cuts out the clips. They can't be worried about copyright issues, as they certainly had to get them to put the clips together for the original show in the first place.
HE WAS!!! Did you ever have a chance to see Sugar Babies? so much talent!!!
That was my immediate reaction. It makes me very sad that the clips of some of Mickey Rooney's wonderful pictures were left out. I think it would make a young person who never saw his work understand better why he AND Judy were so great and why he truly deserved this award and tribute....some of Hollywood's TRUE talents.
I love him so much I kinda cried watching this. Memories of watching his movies as a child are some of my best form back then. RIP Mickey
And here was almost 8 minutes of iconic Hollywood legendry that we will never see so much of on screen at once, ever again! ❤️
Bob hope was 83 here and was very sharp. No wonder he lived to be 100!
What a wonderful Man. Thanks for everything, Mick. Hope you're with Judy now :)
I met him in person in Arlington Heights in 1975 and he was just as sweet a guy as you would think. Absolutely terrific person and actor.
mickey has demonstrated his anger at the Hollywood system on more than one occasion..a volcano never quite spent
If only they got this "proper" form of recognition at today's Oscars...
I like the line when a man reaches my age which I intend to do shortly
Mickey Rooney is the greatest actor in the world" Sir Laurence Olivier. Yes, you read that right. Olivier was one hundred percent correct. Period. Full Stop. End of Story. Among male stars, Only Guinness, Day-Lewis, Hoffman, Oldman, DeNiro, Stewart, O'Toole, Ryu and Mifune come close
This was in 1983, for a 60 years career; incredibly he was still working 30 years later in 2013. Rooney started at age 3 in 1923, a couple of years before Paul Newman, and Jack Lemmon were born in 1925. Newman and Lemmon died in 2008 and 2001 respectively.
