morgan300c : I don’t think that the BAFTA awards were televised much in the USA. What a shame too, as there are so many great actors/actresses from Great Britain/the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Me too...I'm a huge fan. Made my day. I was a little kid when it came out and I remember it very well because it was the only movie that had F words on regular TV. In Southern California way back in the 80's, channel 5 used to show it in it's entirety uncut. It would show a warning about foul language before it came back from commercial break. The movie is close to my heart and they better never..never remake it.
I was just about to post the same thing. One Flew is easily a top five favorite movie of all time for me. And never heard of this acceptance/seen this video.
I ALSO REPEAT THE TITLES OF THE VIDEOS IN MY COMMENTS IT IS GOOD DID YOU KNOW I LIKE TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS SOMETIMES THIS LETS YOU KNOW I AM YELLING #underrated #legem #TRUECINEMA
That's a pretty ill-informed opinion... Sure, Marvel movies suck etc... But what about modern cinema like: Birdman, 3 billboards outside ebbing missouri, a serious man, no country for old men, the lobster, prisoners, the shape of water, you were never really here, the master, there will be blood, get out etc etc. Either you've never seen those films and therefore don't really deserve an opinion on modern cinema or you don't like those movies and that's sad...
What blows my mind… is that this all occurs before: Batman, Few Good Men, The Shining, Terms of Endearment, As Good as it Gets. All while sitting courtside watching Magic & Kareem, and donning shades to the Oscars. LEGEND on LEGEND!
Nurse Pillbough riding into screen with Brad Douriff riding on it is simply amazing. Honestly this shot of all amazing talent in one frame with us and no longer with us is absolutely amazing.
@Sam I actually work at a Haunt located within an Asylum and by this point it was a long while since I saw 'Cuckoo's nest' and after revisiting it I had a laugh because one of our lead actors looked spot on to her that I could have sworn she was a doppelganger- she wore her hair the same way, had the little hat and facial wise looked like her it was wild
He won an Oscar here and promoted one flew over the cuckoos nest when he won the Oscar and then won an Oscar for one flew over the cuckoos nest. Jack is an absolute LEGEND.
It's based on a wonderful book. If you haven't read it I highly suggest you do. If you like that book I suggest Birdy written by William Wharton which was made into a film as well but the novel is so much better.
Best acceptance speech I've seen, hands down, anywhere! The guy kept churning out those powerhouse, award-winning movie roles over six decades - he's a machine! And never more magnetic and charismatic than playing himself. Jack Nicholson is the ultimate movie star.
It was even better with the rest of the crew included! I wonder if that was Jack's idea. I think Will Sampson should have been a little more visible as the One. He was standing on his tiptoes, lol
Jack Nicholson nominated for "Chinatown" and "The Last Detail" both, is a feat in itself and receiving it on a set of a film for which he'll win again.
One of the top 5 clips of anything Hollywood--for creativity-- if not the best.A great era for movies,actors,hosts, presenters and viewers of all of it.
You may be thinking of Michael Douglas' friendship with Danny DeVito. When Jack Nicholson accepted the AFI Lifetime Achievement award in 2007 he mentions that he first met Danny DeVito when he showed up to play in Cuckoo's Nest.
@John Johnson their families worked at the same shop. barber shop if i'm not mistaken. and yeah they probably weren't friend due to age difference but they were both growing up in the same enviroment. wel according to danny.
All I see is Brad Dourif in the back trying his heart out to make sure his face is in the shot. As hand's down the best performance in Cuckoos Nest I find this to be ironic and adorable.
Gene Hackman, Jack Nicholson, Albert Finney, and Al Pachino. That is a damn fine list of actors! Albert Finney didn't have as successful a career as the others did, but he did just fine I am sure. The actors who win these days are no where in the same league as these men.
link004, One reason that Finney might seem less successful than the others is that Finney was (and is) a classically trained British stage actor. Unlike the others, the focus of his career was not on being an American movie star. So, he'd stop doing movies for a while and do Shakespeare and Chekov and the great authors on stage in England.
Adam Redfield Yes, very true. Finney could’ve been a bigger star in America but just didn’t have the desire, he turned down the lead in Lawrence of Arabia because he didn’t want to sign a long term contract with the producers. He nearly won an Oscar for Erin Brockovich but didn’t go to the ceremony because he couldn’t smoke there
I was in high school when they were filming "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" here in Salem Oregon. My great grandmother was in that State Hospital in 1917 for a few months and died there after some mental problems brought on by her hysterectomy done in Portland.
I too hate it when people who are younger than me get to enjoy something that I enjoyed in my youth on a modern format because I too am a total dickhead of an old man.
This is the first time that I viewed this and seeing Mr. Niven here was great. Plus hearing the others not able to be there in person and they are favorites of mine too. Hadn’t heard much about Twiggy for years now. These BAFTA awards are something that I didn’t know about for many years. Fun to watch them, especially in this 💩 year 2020.
David was still a big star in the mid 70's. I remember seeing him in Murder By Death at the theater. His "autobios" were bestsellers. Unfortunately he would be dead in 8 short years after this clip. Life is fleeting, my friend. I was 8 when this clip was shot. At least I'm still around to type out inanities on youtube!
Holy cow!!! I've never seen this. The entire cast is there, on set.....ending with Louise Fletcher coming into frame to retrieve Jack for his shock therapy:-)
Sometimes life throws you an unsuspecting curve ball that hits you right in the funny bone. And this is one of those times. I never knew this clip existed. And it's brightened up my day. What a moment in time preserved forever.
Wow! This was fantastic. Never knew about this. How clever of them. We don't see the BAFTA ceremony here in the U.S., but thanks to You Tube I get to see this 48 years later. It was worth the wait. Great to see David Niven and Twiggy as well.
My life has changed a lot since I encountered the movie, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. It's one of the most influencial films along with other great movies such as Tokyo Story(Ozu),Seven Samurais(Kurosawa). I was really moved and my idea about movies has grown out into new profound one. I purchased Red Wing Boots Jack wore on the movie shortly after I watched the film.
@@gregbors8364 I still lean towards Cuckoo's Nest, but the scene when he's talking to his father in Five Easy Pieces was as good as Jack ever got. Great film.
Amazing! Uniquely Nicholson! Such a talented actor! And such an awesome ensemble of characters all those great actors surrounding him on the set of Cuckoo's Nest, including Nurse Fletcher!
My goodness! What a list of nominations: Gene Hackman - Conversation, Jack Nicholson - Chinatown, Albert Finney - Murder on the Orient Express, Al Pacino - Serpico! Only classics!! Ah, the good old days of Hollywood.
I couldn't stop laughing, my face started to hurt. I love Brad Dourif in the back climbing on the pipes, just knowing that that cute young guy would later become CHUCKY is really mind boggling to me. :D
Omg i never saw this before. This has to be the best BAFTA nomination ever! That the whole members of the cast stayed in character is absolute phenomenal and shows true actor spirit and comradeship! Also probably the best merchandise for their movie that not just gave Nicholson but also Louise Fletcher their first Oscars lol

Danny Devito was still in character.
I'd completely forgotten about this - his smashing the window brought it all back! 😀
not only this is a clever and entertaining way to accept an award, but also an effective marketing strategy, they’re genius
Loved how Danny DeVitto stayed in character mode.
I've never seen this footage. This is a gem. Thanks for the video.
they all stayed in character they were in the middle of a scene so didn't want to lose their mojo
MARTINI ❤️
Nicholson is a method actor himself, yet he didn't seem to be in character despite saying that he understands method acting more than most actors.
@@samkresil6011 he seemed to only go by Jack, but he was randle P mcmurphy talking and accepting
That was possibly the best movie promotion I've ever seen 😄 so cool that they got the whole cast involved.
Anyone who decided to see One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest after seeing this acceptance speech would have been in for one hell of a shock.

Who is no longer with us?
@amin a Louise Fletcher (Ratchet) passed away not too long ago.
The actors who played Chief, Fredrickson, Harding, Cheswick and a few others.

Douriff is not in this clip. Look harder.
He won an Oscar here and promoted one flew over the cuckoos nest when he won the Oscar and then won an Oscar for one flew over the cuckoos nest. Jack is an absolute LEGEND.
This was a BAFTA award not an Oscar.
How about street smart... played in Batman with low pay. Then took a percentage in merchandising products off the film. Bigger bucks......
Yes I totally agree. This film is the best. Period.
On what plannet are bafta awards oscars? Are all awards oscars?
@@hypnotised-clover okay so i made a mistake, pipe down and play with your little toys
Danny Devito’s performance in One Flew Over is so underrated. It’s one of the best!
Hotel
That fucking face he’s always making should have won him some awards lmfao
He went full retard in his performance that's why he didn't even get a nomination. As someone once said: "never go full retard".
Ya? Try to smoke it
My favorite part was when he crawled out of the couch naked
It's kind of funny seeing Louise Fletcher out of character in this clip. She makes Nurse Ratched look like a rather nice person...ha!
No she’s just putting on a “nice” facade as Nurse Ratched did in the film, she’s still within character.
I always found her quite attractive.
Its called acting, genius.

Except for nurse Pilbow. That's the only time I've ever seen her smiling and goofing about. WAY out of character!

Wow - this is amazing. Never seen this before.
The best is shy Big Chief. He deserved the Oscar too!

Jack Nicholson and Danny DeVito are childhood friends, it's always appropriate for them to photobomb together.
