I remember how I found out. I was in the library. I saw it on the front page of Yahoo. I gasped really loud and people were looking at me. I literally had to walk outside.
A case can be made that Robin Williams was the single most beloved entertainer in the culture. I know it's a big statement, but from Mork to Movies to Talk Shows to Stand Up, from Drama to Comedy, he seemed to have an act for any kind of audience. That's why it hit so hard when he died. It was an unusual outpouring from millions of strangers who felt like they knew him.
@@Comictalent i think that everyone there was genuinely happy for him except for Burt Reynolds :D But seriously at this point he already put down so much on the table, he finally got awarded
@@Comictalent I was on my computer in the living room with my parents when one of my friends sent me a message asking if I knew about Robin dying. I immediately checked to make sure it was true while _praying with everything in me_ that it wasn't, but it obviously was. My heart broke. I just sat back and quietly said, "Oh my god." My parents: "What?" I looked up at them, still processing what I'd just read, "Robin Williams died." "WHAT??" And it went from there. All three of us were HUGE fans and had even been blessed to see him live once when he came through our area with his "Weapons of Self-Destruction" tour. I was born in '84 and basically grew up watching him. To this day he's still the one and only celebrity death that devastated me so much it legitimately made me cry.
+Lee The Flea I'm not surprised! He is one of the most refined acting talents this world has scene. If that was me or you we'd find it hard to contain our true emotions, but he has mastered not only the art of showing/hiding emotions but also the art of being a fantastic human being, by simply accepting the victory of another human as if it were his own! It's actually rather moving. At least that's how I see it!
Watched Good Will Hunting for the first time yesterday and I think it's fair to say I don't think theres ever been a more deserving Oscar win. What an actor this man was.
+Peter Bell I absolutely loved Robin Williams, but I think Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight was equally impressive. It's terribly difficult to pick out who is more deserving of such an honor when you have to compare years and years of performances!
I miss him, his humor. He was childlike in some ways. He was like a kid telling a naughty joke. Rest in peace sir, you will always be remembered with fondness.
Growing up, i never had a favorite of his movies. Like picking a favorite kid. But his acting range surprised me. Growing up, i have seen him voice a few penguins, a bat, a Genie, a Robot, play a Professor, a Housekeeper, a petty theif, a workaholic, a man trapped in a board game, an American President, a grown up Peter Pan and last night a doctor.
Yep, the man who was the reason for the 10-second delay in live broadcasts.😂 God I still miss him so much. To this day he's still the only celebrity death that legitimately made me cry.
Thank you for everything, sir. Everybody has loved you. Everybody has grown up with you. Everybody has laughed and cried with you. We won't forget that.
Depression is real. It's a real disease and has a very high mortality rate if left untreated. Rest in peace my man, you were always the brightest light, even when you didn't think so.
@Beef witted Genius yes he was a lot of comedians do robin had a history of substance abuse which a lot of the time goes hand in hand with depression and other mental illnesses
He was also facing a rare form of dementia. So that the depression and his past with drugs and alcohol lead up to his sad passing. I do believe he is in heaven 😎
Beef witted Genius yes he was? He had depression, a drug addiction, a odd form of dementia but also after his heart transplant he changed a lot. Depression had a lot to do with his demise. Probably why he killed himself dude.
***** Humility...I do not think it means what you think it means. Because according to every dictionary ever, it's a degree of humble nature being expressed.
Billy Crystal looks so proud of him. Their friendship was so strong I imagine Billy still hurts to this day knowing how sad his friend was at the end of days. Robin williams was an amazing man who touched so many of us as a genie a nanny and so many more. Thank you Robin RIP
Wow , what an amazing actor . Law and order episode brought me here in a roundabout way. I always knew about Robin Williams from Mork n Mindy and films like Popeye to Cadillac man .
I was thinking that too. You can tell Billy is so genuinely happy for Robin. And that hug at the end...omg!! We should all be so fortunate to have a friendship like that!
Regardless of what happened, you should be sorry he died. One day you will be near death and pray that you don't go to your grave with no one to see you off.
Re-watched the movie yesterday. Deserved award. Williams holds the movie together, he gives it soul that otherwise wouldn't have been there. The part itself is great, but he was the right guy for it.
@@hnrywthey were all incredible. I dont think those guys were acting. That shit was so Boston them boys couldnt fucking help themselves. Robin Williams was so great in the movie because hes always a funny character. He took that role and made it so nobody could picture anyone else playing it. He owned that shit. Overall its a beautiful movie. Two best friends wrote it, Matt and Casey got put on and in the end it was a success. Hard to hate on that really.
This speech by Robin for winning his academy encapsulates the essence of this man. His passion for life, his love of people, his quit witted humor... and something else if you really look closer, the sadness in his eyes. No matter what character he played, funny or dramatic, deep down you can see it. I always felt there was something different, but realize now that it was a pain only depression can cause, and can surface at anytime, and devastate a life and lives, even in the case of a man who's in zest for living and seemingly very happy life seemed he could be immune to. That is depression, when even one of the top actors in the world, someone with every reason to live couldn't completely mask that pain. There is reason they use the old adage "the eyes are the windows to your soul". , Look closer into those windows of your loved ones, and keep special care of the ones who's might be dimming before it's to late. The only solace I find in this tragedy, is that Robin can finally thank his dad in person for receiving this award, and that the light that burned so brightly on earth, now takes it's place amongst the stars in the sky for all to see. The mad genie has came home, god bless you Robin, few people leave this place with the impact of how many lives you touched
Your post made me cry so much...You are so right,and I also wrote here just before I saw your post,that even though he was a great comedian,he always seemed so sad to me...Like on the surface he is all happy and cheery,but deep down he is so sad....That's how I've always seen him...And I always wanted to hug him,wherever I saw him crying in a movie,cause I felt like he really was unhappy....I hope he's in Heaven that looks like Heaven in " What dreams may come ".
tatjana1707 Your welcome silkscrim, And Tatjana, your post did the same for me. You are so right, and said it so well. When he was happy in a movie, there always seemed to be something not right, like he smiled for his audience, but it just didn't seem completely genuine, like a plastic rose in a bouquet of ones that are alive. He did it for his audience, but he couldn't completely hide the fact that it was just an act. And in movies where sadness was just supposed to be a part of the role, it went beyond acting. The horrible tragedy that I realize now hurts me so much, is that those feelings he shared were genuine, real feelings. Go through his best movies, and tenderest moments, the ones that involved moments in life that we always thought "wow this guy makes it so real, it's almost like he really feels that way, what a great actor!!" Movies like Dead Poets Society, Awakenings, Patch Adams Good Will Hunting and....Aladdin. Look back now at that movie. In the scene at the end of the movie, when the Genie had done everything he could do for Aladdin and Jasmine and so many others, Aladdin said "Genie, you are free", which now are 4 of the most bittersweet words of all time. Aladdin held him for as long as he could, never wanting to let him go. And no one wanted the Genie to go, not because of what miracles and wonders he could create on a physical level, but because the Genie, a being of pure light and gentleness and love, could make anyone he touched feel special, whether king or beggar. A gift beyond wealth, or status, or anything physical, a gift treasured by the richest, and poorest people in the kingdom. Aladdin understood the bittersweet moment it was, because he realized that as much as the Genie, a being of pure kindness, warmth and love, would forever make the land a better place, and a being that had the magical ability to make anyone smile, and feel loved....could never be truly happy and at peace here. Happiness was in another place, a realm of mystery, but a land of hope, and the possibility that this magical creation, could finally find the happiness and peace we all crave and pray for. the place he could find the true happiness that he had been denied for so long. it was a line that was so heartwarming for the audience, because the Genie finally got the peace that he had waited for his whole life, and knew he finally found that eternal happiness that he wished for. Why is the loss of Robin, a celebrity like so many others that we have lost, in one moment uniting a divided world of such much intolerance and hate? Because of his remarkable soul, who despite his own personal demons, did everything in his power to make every human beings life here better. There were no favorites, he treated a CEO of a billion dollar company the same way as someone that had nothing. He realized that the only value we have, the only thing of real value, is the value of life, and the love that we all share. And the knowledge that he could talk to a regular fan on the street and that would make that person feel so special, or do things like give $400,000 a year to make sure that a life long friend, Christopher Reeve, would never have to worry about medical expenses, or support our troops for so many years, and so many other stories coming out now, of acts of kindness, whether of incredible financial help, or just of giving his time, or just the feeling of making anyone he ever met feel special, a kind smile that was genuine, that stayed with you for life, We realize we have lost our Genie. A pure, magnificent being, that we could always count on to make things better, and feel better about ourselves, and others. He gave us so much, even while he hid the pain that only someone that has suffered from severe depression can. But realize that he now has hopefully found the peace we all crave, and the happiness that comes with that peace. Anyone saying he was selfish, stop. This was one last way, that he could bring to light, the horrible affliction of depression, something that can't be x-ray'd, or figured out through a biopsy, or urine test. There now is a light shined on something that affects anyone, rich or poor, hell on earth, inside your head. He gave, and gave , and gave. He did everything he could to make this world a funnier, happier place. He was our Genie, and like Aladdin we have to let him go, so he can find that which will let him have the peace in his soul he was missing here. And hopefully, people will remember the acts of kindness, and the hope and love he gave us, and realize that the laughter and feelings of joy and hope can be had, we just have to be willing to take the time to give it back to each other, there is a little bit of Robin/Genie in all of us. We owe it to this great man, and to ourselves. Thank you again Tatjana, your empathy and compassion for Robin in your tender and compassionate words, and willingness to share that with everyone gave me something I will always remember, a shared kindness, and I feel hopeful. And to your last sentence, I know he is now basking in a land of wondrous colors, a template that only the Lord can create, a place that rewards only his most magnificent creations, and to his grieving wife and kids, please remember, he will be there waiting for you, that's what angels do, and who knows, he might just decide to bless us all again, and come back one day to share another lifetime of laughter, What Dreams May Come :)
kelly walsh Thank you too,for all those beautiful things you said about him.I wish he could see us ( who loved him,and still love him ) now,maybe then he would realize how much he was loved... :)
The competition for Best Supporting Actor was STACKED that year. All 5 of those performances are bulletproof, but I'm really happy Robin Williams won. Such a beautiful piece of acting.
This guy is so humble and passionate above all his talents and skills. He is one of a kind in this industry. RIP to a part of my childhood and of course, Robin Williams.
The fact that Billy Crystal wanted to go hug Robin Williams before his speech just shows how awesome their friendship was! He was the host, but knew he shouldn't interfere!
They should have given him a standing ovation. Good Will Hunting was a great movie with a superb cast! R.I.P. Robin. You are missed everyday when people need a smile or just to laugh. You were truly one of a kind.
Yes i watched it last night, really great performance, his empathy and kindness was so easy to play because that's who he was, even when he grabbed Damon by the throat you knew he wasn't really an angry man.
Despite that this was 26 years ago, it still makes me cry. We miss you Robin. Your goal was to make everyone on this world happy, and you accomplished that, it’s just sad that you couldn’t do it to yourself. We miss you. You were a gift to humanity. You will never be forgotten.
I don't think it works like that, he had Lewy Body Dementia, its like his soul was sucked out of him, killing himself probably ended his suffering and he is at peace now.
@@potatoface1041 EXACTLY bro. Everyone in the world thinks he killed himself because he was sad. Depressed. Couldn't take it anymore! Fucking idiots. On the set of Night At The Museum, he confided in and cried to his PA because he kept forgetting his lines and had seriously troubling episodes of paranoia and delusion. That was when he realized he was totally fucked, and his doctor told him it was gonna get worse ... FAST. In other words, in just a few short months, he'd forget his own kids names and become a burden for who knows how long. He was super brave and chose to not put his family and friends through that. I mean who wants to go through that? It's terrible.
Billy seemed to be holding himself back until he could hug his friend. And what a moment of purely love and joy when they hugged after his speech. Glorious. May we all know that unconditional love.
That cry of joy he lets out when Billy Crystal comes to hug him. The sheer joy of a man spotting one of his closest friends on hand at a moment of exhilaration. It sounds almost like he forgot he was there, and he was surprised and overjoyed to see him. That touches me the most in this clip. :)
The expression on Billy's face - priceless.. breathtaking, endearing.. heartbreaking! This is a true, limitless friendship! Such an inspiration!❤️ So sad they had to get separated so early.. Until they see each other again!⭐
I was thinking the same thing. The producers of the Emmy Awards next week have already announced that they are planning a social tribute to Robin Williams.
I met Robin once outside of The David Letterman Show. I put my hand on his shoulder. I thank God for that moment and for all the moments he gave others.
Just look at his smile. Such an honest person. His humor always came from his heart, like he wasn't thinking about it, just being the funny guy he was. Thank you Robin!
When i saw the film "Good Will Hunting", i felt a special connection with the performance of Robin Williams and all i have to say was absolutely emotional and fantastic. For me, Anthony Hopkins was inspiring, specially when he did that long speech with no interruption in "Amistad" that left me speechless that i have no option to show my respect. For me, Hopkins could have been worthy for the oscar, but Robin Williams was trully deserving with his performance. He is still missed, but his performance is still remembered.
Still can't believe he is gone, he was such a legend, whitty, talented, intelligent not to mention a super humble guy, kind hearted, an all around great human being, this just brings me to tears, RIP to someone truly amazing in this world who gave us nothing but laughs in his comedies, brought us to tears in his dramatic roles and just shined when he needed to, a truly brilliant actor that can never be matched.
I could never cry enough tears to express my sadness at the loss of this beautiful, humble, and outrageously and courageously funny man. RIP Robin. There's room at the front. :'-(
This is the first time that I know he won an oscar. He really deserved more. What a talented pure soul actor. He was a lost & he’ll always be missed. The happiness on Billy Crystal’s face & rushing to hug Robin shows that man really deserved on a long time ago.
O captain, my captain, why did you have to leave? I'm still a shitless kid discovering life, and it would have mean the world to me that someone like you looked at me like you looked at Matt and just told me for once "It's not your fault". Rest In Peace Robin Williams, I never knew you, but I love you,
He was one of those rare gems who made you feel as though he was your best friend, even if you never knew him. And with his death, the entire world has felt a loss that is as if we all lost our friend. There will never be anyone like Robin Williams.
He helped Matt and Ben get their career started by signing onto this movie and he received an award for it. He was and will always be such a humble, sweet soul.
I've never seen a more literal example of somebody's dream coming true. This was so beautiful to watch. I could see the kid in him coming out who had dreamt of this moment for decades.
I suffer from depression. I just want to thank you Robin for being such an incredible person, you've made me laugh when I wanted to cry. I know what addiction is like, and the constant battle with depression. May you be in peace, and thank you for all you've done for everybody. Love you Robin.
To the Academy: Don't just put his name in the "In Memoriam" segment like if he was just another actor who died within this year. This man deserves a special tribute.
Robin Williams was no ordinary celebrity... Over the years we have all been graced to see his work, we’ve cried with him and more importantly we’ve laughed with him. Robins light will forever be an eternal flame which will never go out. I’ve never met Robin Williams but on hearing about his death I was genuinely heartbroken. It felt like a family member had passed away. I think that’s Robins gift, he made you feel so happy and because of that he got our love. We love you Robin and we greatly miss you!
I remember Robin being in my childhood like no one has ever been, whether it was jumanji or hook or any movie I didn't remember, he always put a smile on my face. He deserved this award as much as every other award he's received. Now that he's gone, children that looked up to him as an idol or even a "father" feel so empty. Just like me. I still remember my father reading on his kindle "Robin Williams died today" and my heart broke that very moment and still is to this day. Thanks Robin for being such an inspiration. Love you
yes, beautiful...I just watched it because Billy Crystal is on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen....he was asked what was his favorite moment from hosting the Academy Awards 9 years in a row....he told this story and the hug...They were best friends...he got a little choked up....xoxox.
The obvious close friendship, and real warmth, with Billy Crystal was so touching. And he Groucho Marx walk... so funny at the end. Not many could have pulled that off.
He truly was like Genie from Aladdin...He always seemed so happy,he was able to make anyone smile,yet he obviously wasnt happy...And like Genie,he wanted to be free,probably from the chains of life..I am usually sorry when someone famous dies,but when I heard for him I was devastated...Like someone I knew died...He was a great actor,and even though a great comedian,if you ask me,he always had that sad look in his eyes...We lost today one phenomenal actor,it's an irreparable loss,and I just hope that wherever he is ( and I believe he is in a good place ),he can see how much he's missed,and even though he probably felt alone,he had a lot of people who are heartbroken today because he left us too soon...RIP Robin
Even more emotional than the award itself, was how happy everyone else was for him receiving it. A lot of people enthusiastically celebrating his triumph. He was indeed loved by many.
I grew up watching this man. As a little kid I used to watch Jumanji and Mrs. Doubtfire all the time. Now, I can’t get enough of Good Will Hunting. Rest In Peace Robin. You made my childhood come to life.

The group hug with Matt and Ben just breaks my heart

I'm not crying wtf you talking bout......
I cry every time when he steps in to receive the Oscar. He was (and still is) my favourite actor of all time.
It should make, not break your heart. Its beautiful. Be happy for good souls. Celebrate his life!
That was beautiful♥️

@@Paige-pk8dr Robin Williams’ legend will never die, he will always be alive, so the Genie will bring him back in a heartbeat.

Shiloh Beazel Finally Robin!! We love you and we miss you man!!!
It was a long time coming and everyone loves him...its robin williams!! Rip
No not at all. Burt Reynolds won the golden globe that year. And should have won this.
Burt Reynolds was pretty good though
Hopkins was incredible in Amistad too tbh
He won this when his dear friend Billy Crystal was hosting, too. You can hear Robin exclaim when Billy goes up to congratulate him.
For me it was the most touching moment. And before that, seeing Billy’s face when Robin won, priceless.
He deserved that award !
I remember seeing this live, a few days after watching a movie with both of them, and thinking that was so nice they could share that moment.
Not a coincidence.
1:21 Look at that face he is making. That is a real true friend being proud for someone that finally made it
Watched Good Will Hunting for the first time yesterday and I think it's fair to say I don't think theres ever been a more deserving Oscar win. What an actor this man was.
that was my reaction the first time i saw good will hunting lol he was all time great
+Peter Bell I absolutely loved Robin Williams, but I think Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight was equally impressive. It's terribly difficult to pick out who is more deserving of such an honor when you have to compare years and years of performances!
Javier Bardem in No Country For Old Men as Anton Chigurh was the most deserved of all time in my eyes. Robin Williams is still a genius tho
+Peter Bell It's not your fault.
kaister901 Yeah I know that...
When he smiled on stage I just started crying it’s so sad. Fly High
Must have been one of the best moments of his life. Glad I seen this video.
Also loving how Burt Reynolds looks salty as fuck.
That makes 2 of us. He was and still is my favorite actor of all time. I truly miss him.
Miss you Robin...

He was my favorite one in Breaking Bad.
Robert Forster was great in "Jackie Brown" , "Reflection in a Golden Eye" , "The Descendants"
Three more stars in the sky RIP
The Descendants... Great underrated movie!
And Sean Connery too
I miss him, his humor. He was childlike in some ways. He was like a kid telling a naughty joke. Rest in peace sir, you will always be remembered with fondness.
Growing up, i never had a favorite of his movies. Like picking a favorite kid. But his acting range surprised me. Growing up, i have seen him voice a few penguins, a bat, a Genie, a Robot, play a Professor, a Housekeeper, a petty theif, a workaholic, a man trapped in a board game, an American President, a grown up Peter Pan and last night a doctor.

R.I.P. Robin your star will always shine........
Good will hunting

"Everything's cool man, the sky belongs to the stars."
This speech by Robin for winning his academy encapsulates the essence of this man. His passion for life, his love of people, his quit witted humor... and something else if you really look closer, the sadness in his eyes. No matter what character he played, funny or dramatic, deep down you can see it. I always felt there was something different, but realize now that it was a pain only depression can cause, and can surface at anytime, and devastate a life and lives, even in the case of a man who's in zest for living and seemingly very happy life seemed he could be immune to.
That is depression, when even one of the top actors in the world, someone with every reason to live couldn't completely mask that pain.
There is reason they use the old adage "the eyes are the windows to your soul". ,
Look closer into those windows of your loved ones, and keep special care of the ones who's might be dimming before it's to late.
The only solace I find in this tragedy, is that Robin can finally thank his dad in person for receiving this award, and that the light that burned so brightly on earth, now takes it's place amongst the stars in the sky for all to see.
The mad genie has came home, god bless you Robin, few people leave this place with the impact of how many lives you touched
Your post made me cry so much...You are so right,and I also wrote here just before I saw your post,that even though he was a great comedian,he always seemed so sad to me...Like on the surface he is all happy and cheery,but deep down he is so sad....That's how I've always seen him...And I always wanted to hug him,wherever I saw him crying in a movie,cause I felt like he really was unhappy....I hope he's in Heaven that looks like Heaven in " What dreams may come ".
Thank you for posting that.
tatjana1707 Your welcome silkscrim, And Tatjana, your post did the same for me. You are so right, and said it so well. When he was happy in a movie, there always seemed to be something not right, like he smiled for his audience, but it just didn't seem completely genuine, like a plastic rose in a bouquet of ones that are alive. He did it for his audience, but he couldn't completely hide the fact that it was just an act. And in movies where sadness was just supposed to be a part of the role, it went beyond acting. The horrible tragedy that I realize now hurts me so much, is that those feelings he shared were genuine, real feelings. Go through his best movies, and tenderest moments, the ones that involved moments in life that we always thought "wow this guy makes it so real, it's almost like he really feels that way, what a great actor!!" Movies like Dead Poets Society, Awakenings, Patch Adams Good Will Hunting and....Aladdin.
Look back now at that movie. In the scene at the end of the movie, when the Genie had done everything he could do for Aladdin and Jasmine and so many others, Aladdin said "Genie, you are free", which now are 4 of the most bittersweet words of all time. Aladdin held him for as long as he could, never wanting to let him go. And no one wanted the Genie to go, not because of what miracles and wonders he could create on a physical level, but because the Genie, a being of pure light and gentleness and love, could make anyone he touched feel special, whether king or beggar. A gift beyond wealth, or status, or anything physical, a gift treasured by the richest, and poorest people in the kingdom. Aladdin understood the bittersweet moment it was, because he realized that as much as the Genie, a being of pure kindness, warmth and love, would forever make the land a better place, and a being that had the magical ability to make anyone smile, and feel loved....could never be truly happy and at peace here. Happiness was in another place, a realm of mystery, but a land of hope, and the possibility that this magical creation, could finally find the happiness and peace we all crave and pray for. the place he could find the true happiness that he had been denied for so long. it was a line that was so heartwarming for the audience, because the Genie finally got the peace that he had waited for his whole life, and knew he finally found that eternal happiness that he wished for.
Why is the loss of Robin, a celebrity like so many others that we have lost, in one moment uniting a divided world of such much intolerance and hate? Because of his remarkable soul, who despite his own personal demons, did everything in his power to make every human beings life here better. There were no favorites, he treated a CEO of a billion dollar company the same way as someone that had nothing. He realized that the only value we have, the only thing of real value, is the value of life, and the love that we all share. And the knowledge that he could talk to a regular fan on the street and that would make that person feel so special, or do things like give $400,000 a year to make sure that a life long friend, Christopher Reeve, would never have to worry about medical expenses, or support our troops for so many years, and so many other stories coming out now, of acts of kindness, whether of incredible financial help, or just of giving his time, or just the feeling of making anyone he ever met feel special, a kind smile that was genuine, that stayed with you for life,
We realize we have lost our Genie. A pure, magnificent being, that we could always count on to make things better, and feel better about ourselves, and others. He gave us so much, even while he hid the pain that only someone that has suffered from severe depression can. But realize that he now has hopefully found the peace we all crave, and the happiness that comes with that peace. Anyone saying he was selfish, stop. This was one last way, that he could bring to light, the horrible affliction of depression, something that can't be x-ray'd, or figured out through a biopsy, or urine test. There now is a light shined on something that affects anyone, rich or poor, hell on earth, inside your head.
He gave, and gave , and gave. He did everything he could to make this world a funnier, happier place.
He was our Genie, and like Aladdin we have to let him go, so he can find that which will let him have the peace in his soul he was missing here. And hopefully, people will remember the acts of kindness, and the hope and love he gave us, and realize that the laughter and feelings of joy and hope can be had, we just have to be willing to
take the time to give it back to each other, there is a little bit of Robin/Genie in all of us. We owe it to this great man, and to ourselves.
Thank you again Tatjana, your empathy and compassion for Robin in your tender and compassionate words, and willingness to share that with everyone gave me something I will always remember, a shared kindness, and I feel hopeful.
And to your last sentence, I know he is now basking in a land of wondrous colors, a template that only the Lord can create, a place that rewards only his most magnificent creations, and to his grieving wife and kids, please remember, he will be there waiting for you, that's what angels do, and who knows, he might just decide to bless us all again, and come back one day to share another lifetime of laughter, What Dreams May Come :)
kelly walsh Thank you too,for all those beautiful things you said about him.I wish he could see us ( who loved him,and still love him ) now,maybe then he would realize how much he was loved... :)
Beautiful thing you wrote and true….made me cry.
The competition for Best Supporting Actor was STACKED that year. All 5 of those performances are bulletproof, but I'm really happy Robin Williams won. Such a beautiful piece of acting.
Yeah compare it to the obvious lack of competition for Barbie. :/
This guy is so humble and passionate above all his talents and skills. He is one of a kind in this industry. RIP to a part of my childhood and of course, Robin Williams.
I couldn't have said it better :)
I still get a catch in my throat when he hugs Billy Crystal at the end. What a privilege to celebrate with one of your best friends 30 feet away.
I tear up at that exact scene too.. :'(
I love this moment
I did not know they were best friends. The Oscars and Friends were the only times we saw them together
@@manuelorozco7760 They did the Comic Relief fund raising events together.
@@DavidBrown-ke8cb Cool
R.I.P. One of the most incredible actors/comedians. Left an indelible mark on everything he did.
I wish Robin had been that happy forever.
The fact that Billy Crystal wanted to go hug Robin Williams before his speech just shows how awesome their friendship was! He was the host, but knew he shouldn't interfere!
They should have given him a standing ovation. Good Will Hunting was a great movie with a superb cast! R.I.P. Robin. You are missed everyday when people need a smile or just to laugh. You were truly one of a kind.
This makes me cry... he was so humble, so loving. It's so awful that nobody helped him with his depression.. He will always be missed.
Just got done watching Good Will Hunting, absolutely deserved that Oscar. RIP Robin Williams.
Yes i watched it last night, really great performance, his empathy and kindness was so easy to play because that's who he was, even when he grabbed Damon by the throat you knew he wasn't really an angry man.
I watched last night. Robin and Matt together were the one good thing about this movie. There was too much talking for me to get invested in the plot
@@manuelorozco7760 what are they gonna do? Fight
@@brown22sugar25 No
@@manuelorozco7760 I don’t know what you expect from the plot
Despite that this was 26 years ago, it still makes me cry. We miss you Robin. Your goal was to make everyone on this world happy, and you accomplished that, it’s just sad that you couldn’t do it to yourself. We miss you. You were a gift to humanity. You will never be forgotten.
26 years ago, actually!
The world is not the same without him.
O CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN!!!
O CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN
Watched the movie just yesterday for first time.
O captain my captain
O Captain! My Captain!
O captain, my captain! Carpe diem
O CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN
Right in the feels.. :( Robin You were amazing and will never be forgotten
Robin Williams is perfect, he's not just a comedian but a great versatile actor as well RIP
That moment of pure friendship between Billy Crystal and Robin Williams
I remember watching the 2004 Oscars
My favourite Oscar win, that's REAL applause for him as it should be. What a wonderful actor he was.
so sad he was in so much pain. if only he held on longer
@@Xphantomgamer Broken heart? Are you fucking nuts? You think he killed himself cos he was SAD? Fucking moron! ROFL!
Why, did they come up with a cure for incurable dementia a year after he died?
I don't think it works like that, he had Lewy Body Dementia, its like his soul was sucked out of him, killing himself probably ended his suffering and he is at peace now.
@@potatoface1041 EXACTLY bro. Everyone in the world thinks he killed himself because he was sad. Depressed. Couldn't take it anymore! Fucking idiots.
On the set of Night At The Museum, he confided in and cried to his PA because he kept forgetting his lines and had seriously troubling episodes of paranoia and delusion. That was when he realized he was totally fucked, and his doctor told him it was gonna get worse ... FAST.
In other words, in just a few short months, he'd forget his own kids names and become a burden for who knows how long.
He was super brave and chose to not put his family and friends through that. I mean who wants to go through that? It's terrible.
I think you need to do some more research
So heartfelt! I always get choked up when he and Billy Crystal hug at the end. You can hear Robin’s joyful glee shared with his friend ❤️
Billy seemed to be holding himself back until he could hug his friend. And what a moment of purely love and joy when they hugged after his speech. Glorious. May we all know that unconditional love.
I can’t stop crying😭😭. Billy Crystal looks so happy for him.
Well deserved. That park scene is one of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema IMO. I wish Robin was still here..
Don't we all?
We will miss you Robin 😞
RIP good sir. We lost him 10 years ago today. Still miss him 😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
His joy brings tears to my eyes from the moment it's announced. So humble, so passionate, God bless his soul. Now we thank you, up there...
The Hug at the end between Billy Crystal and robin Williams is killing me...
That cry of joy he lets out when Billy Crystal comes to hug him. The sheer joy of a man spotting one of his closest friends on hand at a moment of exhilaration. It sounds almost like he forgot he was there, and he was surprised and overjoyed to see him. That touches me the most in this clip. :)
The expression on Billy's face - priceless.. breathtaking, endearing.. heartbreaking! This is a true, limitless friendship! Such an inspiration!❤️
So sad they had to get separated so early.. Until they see each other again!⭐
The joy seeing his pal Billy Crystal clapping and that moment when he gasps not realizing Billy came over. Beautiful
Next Year's "In Memoriam" is gonna be so sad. Miss you already, Robin.
I was thinking the same thing. The producers of the Emmy Awards next week have already announced that they are planning a social tribute to Robin Williams.
I met Robin once outside of The David Letterman Show. I put my hand on his shoulder. I thank God for that moment and for all the moments he gave others.
aaaand it happened.
***** And we cried :(
RIP to a comedic force and incredible, versatile performer.
You blessed us all, Robin Williams. Your spirit will never be forgotten.
_"This might be the one time I'm speechless"_
That one made me laugh
Just look at his smile. Such an honest person. His humor always came from his heart, like he wasn't thinking about it, just being the funny guy he was. Thank you Robin!
When i saw the film "Good Will Hunting", i felt a special connection with the performance of Robin Williams and all i have to say was absolutely emotional and fantastic.
For me, Anthony Hopkins was inspiring, specially when he did that long speech with no interruption in "Amistad" that left me speechless that i have no option to show my respect. For me, Hopkins could have been worthy for the oscar, but Robin Williams was trully deserving with his performance. He is still missed, but his performance is still remembered.
This shit made me cry :/
Never realize how much you miss someone til they are gone. He's with his father now.
Still can't believe he is gone, he was such a legend, whitty, talented, intelligent not to mention a super humble guy, kind hearted, an all around great human being, this just brings me to tears, RIP to someone truly amazing in this world who gave us nothing but laughs in his comedies, brought us to tears in his dramatic roles and just shined when he needed to, a truly brilliant actor that can never be matched.
His hugs with Ben, Matt and Billy Crystal were simply heartwarming. I miss you Robin❤️
Love how genuinely happy Billy Crystal is for him. The camaraderie is beautiful.
I could never cry enough tears to express my sadness at the loss of this beautiful, humble, and outrageously and courageously funny man. RIP Robin. There's room at the front. :'-(
This is the first time that I know he won an oscar. He really deserved more. What a talented pure soul actor. He was a lost & he’ll always be missed. The happiness on Billy Crystal’s face & rushing to hug Robin shows that man really deserved on a long time ago.
O captain, my captain, why did you have to leave? I'm still a shitless kid discovering life, and it would have mean the world to me that someone like you looked at me like you looked at Matt and just told me for once "It's not your fault".
Rest In Peace Robin Williams, I never knew you, but I love you,
R.i.p. Spread laughter around the world like a boss! Legend
He was one of those rare gems who made you feel as though he was your best friend, even if you never knew him. And with his death, the entire world has felt a loss that is as if we all lost our friend. There will never be anyone like Robin Williams.
He helped Matt and Ben get their career started by signing onto this movie and he received an award for it. He was and will always be such a humble, sweet soul.
LOL @ Burt looking pissed wishing he hadn't gone through the trouble of putting the toupee on just to lose to Robin.
i laughed an abominable amount at this.
RIP Robin, thank u for making my childhood
I always cry at how happy Billy Crystal looks for him and then Robin's audible OH!! when he sees him at the end of the video!
Watching Robin happy just makes you happy. So much warmth and talent. RIP Robin.
The way Billy applauded is friend and the hug at the end... Perfect. Oh Captain, My Captain: you were never alone. We miss you.
at least now he gets to be with his dad
Does he though?
The Veneficus idk
Potter Perfect Yeah I don't know either?
Potter Perfect You can. I hope that I'll just be dead and completely unconscious. I'd hate to 'live' forever.
The Veneficus yeah...uhm...i honestly don't care
Watching this crying. Just cant believe this man is gone. Wished he knew how much people loved him.
One of the most deserved Oscars ever! We love you Robin! 🙏❤️
Oh Robin. We all loved you so much.....
I've never seen a more literal example of somebody's dream coming true. This was so beautiful to watch. I could see the kid in him coming out who had dreamt of this moment for decades.
"Wonderful, just have a backup profession like welding." Man, this hits me hard, so relatable and it hurts even coming from a family member.
And now Greg Kinnear and Anthony Hopkins are the only ones left alive.
Amparo Narbona crazy huh
Who will win the Hellfish treasure? :v
@@Fotodante Certainly not that rotten Mr Burns
@@Fotodante good Reference
No kidding
Look how happy he is.
I suffer from depression. I just want to thank you Robin for being such an incredible person, you've made me laugh when I wanted to cry. I know what addiction is like, and the constant battle with depression. May you be in peace, and thank you for all you've done for everybody. Love you Robin.
To the Academy: Don't just put his name in the "In Memoriam" segment like if he was just another actor who died within this year. This man deserves a special tribute.
The sound he made when he hugged Billy Crystal is humble, pure, and joyous. Beautiful.
Robin Williams was no ordinary celebrity...
Over the years we have all been graced to see his work, we’ve cried with him and more importantly we’ve laughed with him.
Robins light will forever be an eternal flame which will never go out. I’ve never met Robin Williams but on hearing about his death I was genuinely heartbroken. It felt like a family member had passed away. I think that’s Robins gift, he made you feel so happy and because of that he got our love.
We love you Robin and we greatly miss you!
Rest In Peace, Chief.
I remember Robin being in my childhood like no one has ever been, whether it was jumanji or hook or any movie I didn't remember, he always put a smile on my face. He deserved this award as much as every other award he's received. Now that he's gone, children that looked up to him as an idol or even a "father" feel so empty. Just like me. I still remember my father reading on his kindle "Robin Williams died today" and my heart broke that very moment and still is to this day. Thanks Robin for being such an inspiration. Love you
Bill Crystal is the host here and when Robin leaves the stage he surprises him with open arms and Robin just falls in his arms. True friendship man.
yes, beautiful...I just watched it because Billy Crystal is on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen....he was asked what was his favorite moment from hosting the Academy Awards 9 years in a row....he told this story and the hug...They were best friends...he got a little choked up....xoxox.
The obvious close friendship, and real warmth, with Billy Crystal was so touching.
And he Groucho Marx walk... so funny at the end.
Not many could have pulled that off.
R.I.P Legend!. Thank you for all the great moments!
He truly was like Genie from Aladdin...He always seemed so happy,he was able to make anyone smile,yet he obviously wasnt happy...And like Genie,he wanted to be free,probably from the chains of life..I am usually sorry when someone famous dies,but when I heard for him I was devastated...Like someone I knew died...He was a great actor,and even though a great comedian,if you ask me,he always had that sad look in his eyes...We lost today one phenomenal actor,it's an irreparable loss,and I just hope that wherever he is ( and I believe he is in a good place ),he can see how much he's missed,and even though he probably felt alone,he had a lot of people who are heartbroken today because he left us too soon...RIP Robin
Its been more than 6 years but every once in a while I go on watching about him on youtube for hours. Miss you Robin you are the best
I only watch one of his movies once in a while. Last night i saw Good Will Hunting for the first time.
Even more emotional than the award itself, was how happy everyone else was for him receiving it. A lot of people enthusiastically celebrating his triumph. He was indeed loved by many.
No Robin, God bless YOU!
I hope you are enjoying your time with your father Robin. We will miss you.
I grew up watching this man. As a little kid I used to watch Jumanji and Mrs. Doubtfire all the time. Now, I can’t get enough of Good Will Hunting. Rest In Peace Robin. You made my childhood come to life.
He will continue to make generations to come laugh and cry, even as he's on his way to the second star to the right.
I first saw Hook nearly a year after he died
This gets me EVERY TIME. Even before he passed.
He shines.
love it when he sees his long time friend Mr. Billy Crystal
