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
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. 🥰
@@Fee212 As much as I completely agree with you, Robin Williams' most perfect blend of drama and comedy in a really sensitive movie with such sensitive subject matter is what sealed the deal. I absolutely loved Greg Kinnear in AGAIG - another one of my favourite movies - and there is no denying how brilliant he was with his own sensitive material, especially while playing a gay character in the 90's and playing one with so much heart and empathy. But Robin Williams' Sean to Matt Damon's Will was perfection that year. I'm also sorry Matt Damon lost for playing Will Hunting because doing what he did as an actor (and writer! where he won his Oscar! woo hoo!) is veeery difficult for most people, artists or not. On another note, I believe GWH should have won Best Picture. We all knew Titanic was gonna get it, but I've seen all five nominated films from that year and GWH is easily the Best Picture winner in my heart.
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."
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!
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.
Just adored Jack Nicholson in "Terms of Endearment" He was such an Angel/scoundrel with Shirley McClane. He is the best! Just brillant and handsome, he has such charisma. That smile of confidence does it every time. Like he always says "I Love You Too Kid" Boy is he loved!❤ ❤❤❤❤
“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…:):):)
Jack Nicholson is amazing. And I really enjoyed the way he didn’t step on any of the lines in the floor when he went up on stage. I wonder how many people understood.
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. 😊
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
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!
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)
Maybe it's just the day, or not, but I'm in tears here reminicing when I used to watch these ((Real) Academy Award Shows in the living room and with my Parents. Those were the days when Actors had Class, and.. Unlike today, those were the days when the Best of the Best, were also.. the 'Most Humblest.' And I Don't care if it makes me Old today because I'm the luckiest girl in the world that I have lived in the Same time as them, and..do consider it an honor. But now most are gone, as are my parents. And that living Room no longer sets the stage for Any Actress or Actor that could Ever come anywhere close, to the ones before them.. Not in any way shape or form. ❣️ 💔
An absolutely brilliant actor...beyond perfection!!! And then there's Jack...rough around the edges and doesn't give a damn about what anyone really thinks of him (a rarity in the egotistical world of Hollywood), and just as charismatic and mesmerising as himself as he is as an actor.
It’s kinda ironic Jack won his three Oscars essentially playing himself. But I think his three Oscars should have been for The Missouri Breaks, The Shining and Hoffa.
You’re correct. He does turn and exchange a private direct pointed look with her. Clearly she was happy for him. He might not have seen her reaching out before his turn to her. Regardless, she had just won and I’m surprised he wasn’t more warm with her, his film partner, in the moment.
At least two masterpieces released in the same year-wow, what a tough choice! Nowadays, it feels like there aren’t any films at the Oscars truly worth watching.
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 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
Billy was the best, I love him!
Absolutely 😂🎉❤❤
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.
me too
Totally agree!!!!!!!
No kidding, he’s himself and the only one. He doesn’t have a twin either do any other great actors and actresses.
I worry about him
Jack is a National Treasure ❤ We can never get enough of him 🎯
Das stimmt!👍👏👏👏❤️
Still the coolest guy in the room! Miss seeing Jack on the big screen, hope he shows up again soon.
👍👏👏👏❤️
Jack is loved so much
He's retired now 😢
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.
@@kevinoconnor4102Right.
But Nicholson is de King of Legends.
Yes, there are so few of us
Matt Damon, Robert Duvall, Jack Nicholson Dustin Hoffman, Peter Fonda. wow
That list in 1997 could also easily have included Al Pacino, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L Jackson, and Michael Douglas. Good year!
Yes an absolutely amazing list of complete A listers.
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
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?
Thank you Jack Nicholson for "As good as it gets".
You know he beats up women right? Don’t hero worship this loser.
I have always loved Jack Nicholson. Always.
👍👏👏👏❤️
Jack Nicholson is also my FAVE
Same. I love his monologue in the church in witches of eastwick
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!
Best Actor: Jack Nicholson
Best Actress: Helen Hunt
Best Supporting Actor: Robin Williams
Best Supporting Actress: Kim Basinger
...what a year for acting. 🥰
Greg Kinnear should have won Best Supporting Actor. 😮
@Fee212 Kinnear was great but Robin Williams deserved it

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.
Love Jack Nicholson but Duvall deserves it this year.
His performance in the Apostle was revelatory
@@alexandrel.9083 yes The Apostle was very underrated. Incredible performance.
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."
Jack Nicholson is classic!
One of the greatest we love u Jack God bless u
Those were all really good actors and movies wish they made more like that today

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.
God love Nicholson for mentioning JT Walsh--one of the greatest character actors of all time ✌🏼
They were good friends
Jack is a force of nature!
Love the clips, thank you, what a quintet of brilliant performances.
Rest in peace, Peter Fonda...
1940-2019
SmailMix 😱😱😱😱
I think "Boondock Saints(2)"was his last movie....
Just adored Jack Nicholson in "Terms of Endearment" He was such an Angel/scoundrel with Shirley McClane. He is the best! Just brillant and handsome, he has such charisma. That smile of confidence does it every time. Like he always says "I Love You Too Kid" Boy is he loved!❤ ❤❤❤❤
GO JACK!!! YOU'RE THE BEST!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
Absolute greatness...Won't see another like him
Remembering JT Walsh, that is class and a good friend
He could have given Helen Hunt a hug or a look as well!
She got warm rolls later.
It looked like she was indeed expecting a hug!
OMG kill his moment...you must be fun to know!!!!!!
Are you her mother?
@@davidblackburn3396no, are you his?
“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…:):):)
They're not here anymore, but they're in my heart. Very classy.
The way he danced on stage was priceless!
Didn't want to step in a crack. Lol😅 Loved it too.
That was a LOADED field.
...R.Duvall was great in Apostle , ...Big Oscar goes to him...❤❤❤
Absolutely ❤
Jack is incredible.
Oh to have actors and films of this caliber on the screen and at the Oscars again! I miss that feeling of watching greatness.
Frances McDormand looks so beautiful here
Blood orange velvet with that black lace 😍
Jack Nicholson is amazing. And I really enjoyed the way he didn’t step on any of the lines in the floor when he went up on stage. I wonder how many people understood.
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 really liked this movie. So glad he won.
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
I miss Gene Hackman too, also retired.
Jack deserve's everything he get's!!! He is a wonderful actor!!!! Love him in everything he does!! 👍👍♥️♥️😁😁😁😁🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹........
All praise and thanks and no politics the way it should be
@@philosopher1a - Who says? There's nothing wrong with being outspoken? It has nothing to do with God given Talent - Some people are very gullible...
This was an outstanding year for movies
Robert Duvall was amazing.
This acceptance speech will have you grinning from ear to ear
The man, the legend, JACK NICHOLSON, yes!!!!!😊❤😊❤
What a year!! Dustin Hoffman, Peter Fonda, Robert Duvall and Jack Nicholson, all running in the same category…
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
damn he even mentioned Skeet Ulrich, which only has like two scenes in that film, what a man, what a legend
I’m not a Jack Nicholson fan. But I love As Good as its gets.😉
That was a list of heavy hitters that year . Wow !
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.
"Some Fools Never Learn" - Steve Wariner.
“Five Easy Pieces” is my favorite Jack Nicholson role.
Matt, Ben: I still want to see some ID.
- Robin Williams.
I miss him so much in films, it's crazy.
Jack Nicholson would fit in the golden age of cinema with the greats
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)
Loved Robert Duvall in the Apostle
Spontaneity, sincerity, humor. Jack always comes out smelling like roses. What a guy.
Duval should have one. One of the best acting performances of all times
Jack & Robin... 2 deserving Oscars.
Magic..lucky to see his career on Big Screens..
Maybe it's just the day, or not, but I'm in tears here reminicing when I used to watch these ((Real) Academy Award Shows in the living room and with my Parents.

Jack Nicholson has Retired.
A MUST SEE IS: AS GOOD AS IT GETS.
The ONLY oscar speech that no one cared how long it went on for.
I believe Jack is sadly now suffering from dementia . Thanks ,Jack, for all the great memories!
An absolutely brilliant actor...beyond perfection!!! And then there's Jack...rough around the edges and doesn't give a damn about what anyone really thinks of him (a rarity in the egotistical world of Hollywood), and just as charismatic and mesmerising as himself as he is as an actor.
Luxury nominees, tough choice. Congratulations Mr. Nicohoson. Great performanc
His role in that movie was done so very well….
Jack one of the last Hollywood legends
Very classy speech 😊
JACK!!!!!! Awesome actor!
It’s kinda ironic Jack won his three Oscars essentially playing himself.
But I think his three Oscars should have been for The Missouri Breaks, The Shining and Hoffa.
Jack should give a hug to Helen..
Yeah I was thinking the same. The bastard doesn't even touch her hand
@@kidsundance9021and he left a gaseous reminder of the kielbasa they were serving in the lobby, what a bastard!
You’re correct. He does turn and exchange a private direct pointed look with her. Clearly she was happy for him. He might not have seen her reaching out before his turn to her. Regardless, she had just won and I’m surprised he wasn’t more warm with her, his film partner, in the moment.
He totally snubbed her
This was when the Oscar’s was good. Billy Crystal was always the host
As épocas desses atores acabaram uma pena não fazer mais atores como esses. Era difícil de Hollywood 😢
One of my top 5 films😀
Love this film watched it many times but Mr Nicholson that sweet little dog was the real star 🐶💖
Verdel!!!❤
Murderers' Row. And Matt Damon.
No disrespect, they got Screenplay and Robin's first Oscar.
But man. Duvall, Fonda, Dustin, Jack.
Someone here said he didn’t mention Helen Hunt, but he did.
At least two masterpieces released in the same year-wow, what a tough choice! Nowadays, it feels like there aren’t any films at the Oscars truly worth watching.
Oh my gosh what a talented group of actors
Jack winning 3 oscars. To be honest, he should have won about 10 !!!
The last TRUE movie star.
The likes of which we’ll never see again.
Them days be LONG gone.
What a fantastic actor. They don’t make them like him anymore.
I want a recording of Jack reading a book.
Any book will do.
The way he ignored Hellen Hunt when standing up
Jack is my No1 actor
He won against some heavy hitters, but I'd expect no less from this incredible force, named Jack Nicholson.
Love this man God bless him
My favorite film brilliant
I was in the Academy Awards pressroom when he won. ❤🎉
Großartiger Schauspieler!👍👏👏👏😍❤️💐
Thank you Jack
No one like Jack Nicholson, complete legend 😊
Matt Damon. Good Well Hunting. Robert Duvall. Peter Fonda. Dustin Huffman. Jack Nicholson. ......
He didn't thank Helen Hunt on his way up to the stage.
Majority of those were good movies in my opinion. I can't always say with the list of nominees.
Jack is my favorite actor😘👍🎉
Jack is my favorite actor

💯 👏👏
Watch that move at least once a year ! That movie is as good as it gets !
