Jack Nicholson is a legend. Love him. And Billy Crystal the best Oscar host ever. Nobody has even come close to his performances as host. Those were the days
Peter Fonda reaction to his old friend winning was actually genuine. Sign he was a lovely man. Great film great script director acting . Watchable even today it shines.
Fun fact: both times Nicholson won Best Actor, his co-lead won Best Actress for the same film - Louise Fletcher in One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and Helen Hunt in As Good as it Gets.
Gustavo Horn also his supporting actor win for Terms of Endearment (another Jim Brookes film) for which Shirley MacClaine also won best leading actress.

He's the best and helps get the best out of whoever works with him
Best Actor: Jack Nicholson Best Actress: Helen Hunt Best Supporting Actor: Robin Williams Best Supporting Actress: Kim Basinger ...what a year for acting. 🥰
an actor was so excited to be in a movie with captain jack and was thanking him profusely. Jack stared him down raised his sunglasses and proclaimed, "I don't make movies, I make classics."
He doesn't make a bad movie. He is one of the greatest actors in cinema. I liked as good as it gets and the witches of Eastwick performances the most but all were great.
Three times Oscar winner Jack Nicholson dedicated his winning to Robert Mitchum, and the Academy never gave Mitchum an honorary Oscar, and didn't gave him an award for The Night of the Hunter in 1955. Shame on the Academy!
Good Lord that had to have been one of the most incredible Oscar's ceremonies of all time. I've been a Cinephile since I was about 12 officially and I'm 40 now. Had I been born just a few years earlier I would have experienced so much awesomeness not only cinema wise but musically as well. However I'm pretty sure I got the last truly great decade so I'll take what I can get!
Jesus Christ when you remember the entire Fonda family ate literal acting Titans, my god watching Peter’s small clip made me realize I forgot just how great he was
What a performance by Jack Nicholson. Helen Hunt was amazing as well. Just a great film all around. Jim Brooks figured out a way to make a film about mental illness a very serious subject I say from experience enjoyable with tears and laughs great performances and wonderful music. And Jack again stole so many scenes!!! Thank you!
“As good as it gets” is the perfect case story description of obsessive compulsive disorder and it turns out that real really can be the perfect reference for making scripts…:):):)
1. Duvall - transformative performance; 1997 critics' fave for Best Leading Actor 2. Fonda - echoes of father Henry; understated yet great 3. Hoffman - committed performance 4. Nicholson - can do this in his sleep; the role is interesting though 5. Damon - discovery of 1997 Hollywood film year despite having been acting for several years (including 1996's Courage Under Fire)
GREAT acceptance speech. Actually talked about the film and the people who helped him get the award. To all the future Academy winners - learn from this. NO POLITICS, no bullshit. Movie and people. Being an actor doesn’t grant you some special insights into politics - it just makes you an actor. Just like a doctor, lawyer, plumber, mechanic....you get what I mean.
Jack was at a party in Hollywood one night and a woman asked "Would you like to dance Jack?" Jack said "Wrong verb honey!" and they weren't seen for the rest of the evening. 😊
I dragged my dad to see Five Easy Pieces because it was rated R and I couldn't get in without him. I worried that it would be porn, but it wasn't. When I was 16 I knew that Jack would be sigfnicant, and I was right.
I would have voted for Robert Duval for his performance in the apostle which was brilliant but I also thought Nicholson was excellent in as good as it gets.
I ❤ As Good As It Gets. It might be one of my favorite romcoms of all time. It's so New York City. Loved it. And it would nice if the Academy Awards can be as magical as it was in these days. Bring back Bill Conti's music (Oscar melodies). Make great movies again. Make Oscsrs Great Again.
Listen to the announcer. As if anybody in the audience needed to know that. At the end of the day, the Academy Awards is a tv show. If there’s anything wrong with it, if there’s anything foundational to its failings, it’s this.
Jack could read the back of a cereal box and have everyone's full attention
The same for Morgan Freeman
And he did it even with his speech!
Jack Nicholson is one of the few who can be called 'legend'
Fonda, Duvall and Hoffman are all legends. Intact Fonda gave Nicholson his big break in Easy Rider.
Jack Nicholson is a legend. Love him. And Billy Crystal the best Oscar host ever. Nobody has even come close to his performances as host. Those were the days
There is NOBODY like Jack Nicholson. He’s a delight to watch whether on film or as himself. I have to smile every time he speaks.
Still the coolest guy in the room! Miss seeing Jack on the big screen, hope he shows up again soon.
Peter Fonda reaction to his old friend winning was actually genuine. Sign he was a lovely man. Great film great script director acting . Watchable even today it shines.
Isn't he the same man who wanted to see Trump's youngest son raped by a gang?

He's the best and helps get the best out of whoever works with him
Fun fact..... he never mentioned Milos Forman in his speech , when he won first best actor. Not good.
Interesting fact.
Did he mention Helen Hunt?
Best Actor: Jack Nicholson
Best Actress: Helen Hunt
Best Supporting Actor: Robin Williams
Best Supporting Actress: Kim Basinger
...what a year for acting. 🥰
Thank you Jack Nicholson for "As good as it gets".
You know he beats up women right? Don’t hero worship this loser.
Matt Damon, Robert Duvall, Jack Nicholson Dustin Hoffman, Peter Fonda. wow
He could have given Helen Hunt a hug or a look as well!
She got warm rolls later.
Jack is a National Treasure ❤ We can never get enough of him 🎯
Rest in peace, Peter Fonda...
1940-2019

Jack Nicholson is classic!
One of the greatest we love u Jack God bless u
God love Nicholson for mentioning JT Walsh--one of the greatest character actors of all time ✌🏼
They were good friends
Jack is incredible.
He doesn't make a bad movie.
He is one of the greatest actors in cinema.
I liked as good as it gets and the witches of Eastwick performances the most but all were great.
This was when the Oscar’s was good. Billy Crystal was always the host
Frances McDormand looks so beautiful here
Blood orange velvet with that black lace 😍
That was a LOADED field.
Three times Oscar winner Jack Nicholson dedicated his winning to Robert Mitchum, and the Academy never gave Mitchum an honorary Oscar, and didn't gave him an award for The Night of the Hunter in 1955. Shame on the Academy!
I loved him. River of ❤no Return. Magical movie. second only
to *Bus Stop for Marylin.
Jack is a force of nature!
This acceptance speech will have you grinning from ear to ear
Life long Jack fan here and so glad he notched up this one. But I soooooooooo loved Bobby Duvall in 'The Apostle.' Great film, great performance!
There are few that are in his league, but Duvall and Gene Hackman are on that same starting team.
@@EgbertWilliams.Right on.
GO JACK!!! YOU'RE THE BEST!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
...R.Duvall was great in Apostle , ...Big Oscar goes to him...❤❤❤
Robert Duvall was amazing.
Those were all really good actors and movies wish they made more like that today
Good Lord that had to have been one of the most incredible Oscar's ceremonies of all time. I've been a Cinephile since I was about 12 officially and I'm 40 now. Had I been born just a few years earlier I would have experienced so much awesomeness not only cinema wise but musically as well. However I'm pretty sure I got the last truly great decade so I'll take what I can get!
Jack really liked this movie. So glad he won.
I have always loved Jack Nicholson. Always.
I’m not a Jack Nicholson fan. But I love As Good as its gets.😉
gotta love Jack Nicholson !
Jesus Christ when you remember the entire Fonda family ate literal acting Titans, my god watching Peter’s small clip made me realize I forgot just how great he was

Matt, Ben: I still want to see some ID.
- Robin Williams.
Jack should give a hug to Helen..
Yeah I was thinking the same. The bastard doesn't even touch her hand
“As good as it gets” is the perfect case story description of obsessive compulsive disorder and it turns out that real really can be the perfect reference for making scripts…:):):)
Oh to have actors and films of this caliber on the screen and at the Oscars again! I miss that feeling of watching greatness.
Absolute greatness...Won't see another like him
This was an outstanding year for movies
All praise and thanks and no politics the way it should be
Love the clips, thank you, what a quintet of brilliant performances.
Jack deserve's everything he get's!!! He is a wonderful actor!!!! Love him in everything he does!! 👍👍♥️♥️😁😁😁😁🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹........
Love Jack Nicholson. I wish he'd do more movies. But all these actors are great.
Jack is unofficially retired.
@@writerconsidered
So we never know then huh?
I believe he has dementia, so you're unlikely to ever see him in another movie 😢
@@Lspacehopper hmm
Jack & Robin... 2 deserving Oscars.
“Five Easy Pieces” is my favorite Jack Nicholson role.
1. Duvall - transformative performance; 1997 critics' fave for Best Leading Actor
2. Fonda - echoes of father Henry; understated yet great
3. Hoffman - committed performance
4. Nicholson - can do this in his sleep; the role is interesting though
5. Damon - discovery of 1997 Hollywood film year despite having been acting for several years (including 1996's Courage Under Fire)
A MUST SEE IS: AS GOOD AS IT GETS.
Murderers' Row. And Matt Damon.
No disrespect, they got Screenplay and Robin's first Oscar.
But man. Duvall, Fonda, Dustin, Jack.
Ohhhhh, so this is what movie stars used to be like.......
Love this film watched it many times but Mr Nicholson that sweet little dog was the real star 🐶💖
Verdel!!!❤
Loved Robert Duvall in the Apostle
The cool man alive!
Jack is my No1 actor
JACK!!!!!! Awesome actor!
As COOL as it gets.
I miss him so much in films, it's crazy.
GREAT acceptance speech. Actually talked about the film and the people who helped him get the award. To all the future Academy winners - learn from this. NO POLITICS, no bullshit. Movie and people. Being an actor doesn’t grant you some special insights into politics - it just makes you an actor. Just like a doctor, lawyer, plumber, mechanic....you get what I mean.
LMFAO
💯 👏👏
Remembering JT Walsh, that is class and a good friend
Matt Damon. Good Well Hunting. Robert Duvall. Peter Fonda. Dustin Huffman. Jack Nicholson. ......
Back when Hollywood had class
What a fantastic actor. They don’t make them like him anymore.
Thank you Jack
The last giant of Hollywood the real artist
Jack was at a party in Hollywood one night and a woman asked "Would you like to dance Jack?"
Jack said "Wrong verb honey!" and they weren't seen for the rest of the evening. 😊
Jack is my favorite actor😘👍🎉
The last TRUE movie star.
The likes of which we’ll never see again.
Them days be LONG gone.
What a year!! Dustin Hoffman, Peter Fonda, Robert Duvall and Jack Nicholson, all running in the same category…
I dragged my dad to see Five Easy Pieces because it was rated R and I couldn't get in without him. I worried that it would be porn, but it wasn't. When I was 16 I knew that Jack would be sigfnicant, and I was right.
Why on earth didnt he kiss Hellen Hunter??? Im shocked! He couldnt get the prize without her.
Probably because Holly wasn't there...
I would have voted for Robert Duval for his performance in the apostle which was brilliant but I also thought Nicholson was excellent in as good as it gets.
Peter Fonda ❤️
Classy speech!
Magic..lucky to see his career on Big Screens..
Majority of those were good movies in my opinion. I can't always say with the list of nominees.
...but he didn’t thank Helen Hunt. What’s up with that?
He does at 4:12, slips in "cast, Ms. Hunt" and they cue to her. But it is almost subtle and sounded like "Mister Hunt" or "Mist Hunt".
It seems he dislikes her.
No one like Jack Nicholson, complete legend 😊
Well deserved ❤❤
U r the BEST Jack, one of a kind. Love u.
i would’ve given it to Damon here, he gave a truly powerhouse performance in Good Will Hunting. the california scene is just breathtaking.
Nah. A load of psychology nonsense… as good as it gets beats good hunting by a country mile
I agree they got it right, but Damon was amazing. Hard to draw these comparisons. Two great movies with powerful acting.
Matt is so stiff. He seems uncomfortable on cam.
I still feel that Robert Duvall earned and deserved that Oscar for the Apostle. Just my opinion, of course.
The way he ignored Hellen Hunt when standing up
This man is a national treasure, I just adore Jack.
Love that movie
Jack Nicholson has Retired.
I love Frances she looks high.
I think everyone knew Jack was going to win that year.
The best joker.
A Very good 🎬 actor⭐️
Unrepeatable artist
l love this movie
I ❤ As Good As It Gets. It might be one of my favorite romcoms of all time. It's so New York City. Loved it.
And it would nice if the Academy Awards can be as magical as it was in these days. Bring back Bill Conti's music (Oscar melodies). Make great movies again. Make Oscsrs Great Again.
Robert Duvall should win every time he gets nominated.
Watch that move at least once a year ! That movie is as good as it gets !
Everyone loves Big Jack
Matt Damon b like: here he goes again
well deserved
DAMN GOOD MOVIE! DAMN GOOD ACTING BY ALL.
Listen to the announcer. As if anybody in the audience needed to know that.
At the end of the day, the Academy Awards is a tv show. If there’s anything wrong with it, if there’s anything foundational to its failings, it’s this.
