+Potter Perfect Michael Clarke Duncan was a great actor, probably most famous for his roll as John Coffey in the film "The Green Mile". A wonderful film with a lot of great actors in it. A classic! Google his name, then you will find everything you need about him in IMDB. In this TH-cam clip you can watch him at 1:15 and forward.
Here are the people being made jovial fun of during this year's edition of the classic Crystal gag: 0:19 - Arnold Schwarzenegger, who presented Best Visual Effects that evening and was part-owner of the recently bankrupt Planet Hollywood 0:31 - The very pregnant Annette Bening, nominated that evening for Best Actress for her performance in American Beauty 0:39 - Denzel Washington, nominated as Best Actor for playing the wrongfully incarcerated Rubin "Hurricane" Carter in The Hurricane 0:46 - Roberto Benigni, previous year's Best Actor winner for Life Is Beautiful 0:55 - Meryl Streep, a two-time Oscar winner nominated again that evening for Best Actress in the cancer drama One True Thing 1:04 - Dame Judi Dench, previous year's Best Supporting Actress winner for Shakespeare in Love (and a VERY good sport for this kind of thing) 1:14 - The Wall Street Journal (Not sure what this article was about) 1:19 - Michael Clark Duncan, Best Supporting Actor nominee that year for The Green Mile 1:31 - Sir Michael Caine, who won his second Oscar that night as Best Supporting Actor in The Cider House Rules 1:37 - Russell Crowe, nominated for Best Actor for his work in The Insider 1:43 - Willie Fulgear and his son Allen, special invited guests; Mr. Fulgear received $50,000 and two complimentary tickets to the Oscars ceremony as a reward for finding and safely returning 52 of the 55 Oscar statuettes that were stolen from the manufacturer several weeks before the ceremony 1:51 - Jack Nicholson, three-time Oscar winner and Coolest Guy in the Room
the wall street journal actually polled quite a number of insiders and they published who they think were the winners based on that. got lot of flack for that and they didn't repeat that ever again lol
"I see white people." The brilliant thing about that line is that Duncan and Willis were friends before they shot The Green Mile or Sixth Sense. Duncan also credited Willis for introducing him to Darabont the director
@Iago Willis wasn’t in it. Although, I think MC Duncan declared at the time that Bruce was like a Hollywood guardian Angel for him and was going to thank him first if he received the award. Not sure but I think he didn’t get it and Tom Cruise did. Probably for Magnolia. In witch he was absolutely great. Awards aren’t important anyway.
“Oh this thong is killing me” “I see white people” “You know what I’m still the coolest guy in the room” lmfao!!! Billy Crystal = best Oscars host ever! 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
+Lisa Toner i didn't even know he died and thats said because he in my opine he one the greatest people to grace humanity he gave to so many charity's that to me made him great
Among all the 'I Know What They Are Thinking' sections by Billy, this is the absolutely best. Reactions from the public and specially by Annette Benning, Judy Dench, Michael Clarke Duncan and Jack Nicholson were so funny. At first Jack looked a little uncomfortable but Billy hit the jackpot with him !!! Blessings from San Juan PR !!!
One of those great moments for a comic when every joke lands big! Billy Crystal went 12 for 12 with 6 HRs, 2 Triples, 2 Doubles and 2 singles in 2 minutes
1999 was the BEST year in Hollywood cinema. Actually, they've never reached this level again: American Beauty, Magnolia, Fight Club, The Matrix, Eyes Wide Shut... just to mention three... damn! that was a year full of masterpieces
He is stating what the actors could possibly be thinking. It's clearly not what they're actually thinking but the way Billy Crystal phrases these thoughts and the way they match the actors facial expressions is priceless.
Wow looking back in the past seeing who was alive at that time and is gone now seeing what different phases everybody's in their lives memories memories memories where were we all at in 2000? The good choices the bad choice we made to where we are here today
I don't think we'l ever have such iconic actors in the future. It already started with lots of random actors in new movies. Most of them don't even return for other films.
As I was doing an university project, I just started listening to videos of people winning Oscars, lol. This one just automatically got played after another video and, oh my, I laughed so hard. This was so different than other segments of modern Oscars and actually enterntaining and light.🔥
Seeing Michael Clarke Duncan laugh so loud and honestly and cheerfully really made my day better, thank you.
Same here, it was really nice to see him enjoy that joke. He deserved that Oscar...😔
Amen to that. Michael was such an amazing actor, a true gentleman and an incredible human being. 🙏💫
Right, this was a spontaneous laughter. Getting rarer and rarer. Nowadays everybody is walking on egg shells, they're all afraid their reactions could get them in trouble.
He was such a nice man. Loved
Same here bro
Jack is always the coolest one in the room- he got that one straight on haha
He was born as the coolest guy in the room!
@movingonandup773 Richards said in his book Jack was the only one he had to call it quits on a night out
Hes embarrassing at Lakers games so i guess Staples doesnt count
That’s why he will always be the best joker, he doesn’t have to act cool he just is.
Born to be the COOLEST....
Jack Nicholson always the coolest guy in the room, no matter who's there.

CORRECTION: Meryl was nominated that year for "Music of the Heart", not "One True Thing"; that was her nominated film the previous year.
the wall street journal actually polled quite a number of insiders and they published who they think were the winners based on that. got lot of flack for that and they didn't repeat that ever again lol
Yeah he is a cool guy
u did a better job presenting the video that the poster , that should've been in his description !
"I see white people."
The brilliant thing about that line is that Duncan and Willis were friends before they shot The Green Mile or Sixth Sense.
Duncan also credited Willis for introducing him to Darabont the director
Plus, they appeared in the Whole Nine Yards together, which was released one month before this ceremony
Scott Vasquez yeah, but Michael Clarke Duncan didn’t get to be in the sequel cuz he acted like an ass on the set of the first one.

I love how Russell Crowe is like "Yep. I totally need one."
It's a joke because he's there because of the film The Insider which was the biopic of Jeffery Wigand.
Reactions by Judi Dench and Michael Clark Duncan are absolutely priceless!
Dench would have looked great in a thong when she was younger, she was quite sexy.
No politics, laughing with and at each other in the nicest way possible, positive vibe, all feeling appreciate of their success...miss that time

What Great Moment Jack is not only the coolest guy in the room but he's the coolest guy in the entire WORLD what a LEGEND. Great Job Billy
Chris Cross hi
Agree 100%
Jack was always the coolest guy in that room. The Oscars miss Jack just like I miss Jack.
A more elegant brand of comedy, from a more civilized age.
Every comedian knows you pay proper respect to Jack Nicholson because The Shining was actually the first found footage film.
This video is my oasis after thinking about what happened at the 2022 Oscars.
Nicholson is a LEGEND!
Russell Crowe did look like he could use a cigarette.
Jack is the eternal cool guy. And he knows it.
Jack and Meryl's reactions were just hilarious.

Billy Crystal is a natural entertainer. And yes, Nicholson's always the coolest guy in the room.
Hands down, this was the funniest one of these :-)
Even before watching this, We all know that Jack is always the coolest one !
That actually takes some skill
this is how humour should be done - witty without being cruel
Kudos to Billy Crystal
JACK NICHOLSON: I'm still the coolest guy in the room!---right, he is fantastic, I'm a fan
SLAP! "" KEEP MY PRIVATE THOUGHTS OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!""
Well, that line about Jack was the most accurate thing in the oscars, especially with Nicholson's mustache
Remember when the oscars had good hosts
Remember when the oscars actually HAD hosts!!!!!!!!!!!!

can you imagine how awful if someone who get roasted go to stage, slap his face and destroy this moment?

Jada: "He better not say anything about my head"
Will: "He better not say anything about my wife"
Jack is simply the best ❤️
I miss those days. When people liked movies and celebrities weren't despised crybabies.
Wow Celebrates CAN take a joke
Oh boy Mr. Nicholson will always be the coolest
1:20 is the best moment of the video
1:51 It's all fun and games until the camera points at you 😂 you can see Jack yelling "stop" at Billy. Thank God he wasn't roasted 😂
Roberto had no clue what was going on 😂
Not one bit. 😂
Neither did I...
Dude, only Jack Nicholson and Albert Wesker can wear shades indoors and make it look cool.
Billy Crystal is so quick and clever. This was hilarious!
1999 was the BEST year in Hollywood cinema. Actually, they've never reached this level again: American Beauty, Magnolia, Fight Club, The Matrix, Eyes Wide Shut... just to mention three... damn! that was a year full of masterpieces
“I see where people” got a good laugh. A lot of people would be too shy to make that joke now but that was actually perfect lmfao.
What a great moment!!
Back when everyone was friends
why this Oscar's a hundred times more classy and entertaining to watch??
Arnold's reaction about Planet Hollywood is funny.
He is stating what the actors could possibly be thinking. It's clearly not what they're actually thinking but the way Billy Crystal phrases these thoughts and the way they match the actors facial expressions is priceless.
