He is great. But Ricky Gervais would be even better. Lawl. Though the Acadamy would never dare to let him host. Honesty is something not liked in Hollywood :P
I didn't know who he was but after watching 2020 Oscar Nominations came out and I start watching this guy. Man! He is real deal. The best host I even watched.
I was in junior high that year I still remember when I watched dances with the wolves on the big screen and watched it countless times on tv Most of these films then had a quality script quality acting, and now they became classic Sure someone says this about the Hollywood era of the 60 50 40s but the difference is 1991 was a modern year with modern technology and without the whole social media and reality tv everywhere madness Billy crystal to some boring but so much better than jimmy kimmel Brings memories specially seeing al Pacino at a younger age and the impressive Glenn glose These were the true A list stars of that time 😊
this video is as old as i am. and surprisingly nothing much has changed. america is still in war, hollywood studios are still in a coma, and billy crystal is still just as funny. :)
Back in the day when the competition to win an Oscar was hardcore, Everyone of those movies are top notch, they all should be Oscar winners! Be lucky to get even one decent oscar movie these days
look how the Oscars today have turned into a Freak show compared to these... how sad!!! These were the days when it was classy and funny. Now all these emptied shell plastic Barbie dolls are nothing more than walking, talking marshmallow peeps.
+Kasino80 I agree with you. It's no more about celebrating the movies, it's celebrating how much money these clowns get for promoting some stupid product.
Billy always seemed to luckily spoof the movie that ended up winning. He must have been tipped off, or had a really good sense of how the members think. He's a stand-up comedian so he probably knows how to read an audience and that's my guess. I really wish they'd bring him back. I really think some of the other hosts struggle.
20 years since Academy Awards Telecast No. 63 in 1991 - seems like it was yesterday! A big difference between the Shrine Auditorium in LA and Oscars' new home at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. Wasn't the 63rd Academy Awards Telecast on ABC the telecast that had Charlie O'Donnell as the announcer? A lot of things have happened over a span of 20 years since the 63rd Annual Academy Awards, but these memories from the previous telecasts need to be preserved for its historical value.
Billy Crystal, the greatest host ever! Bring him back....
So brilliant. A walk down memory lane in 2022
Me too on 2022
Very clever stuff, done with style and humor.He is about 74 now, but maybe they could get him back one more time. He can save that train wreck
2023
The days when the Oscars was fun and witty.
They literally weren’t before Billy.
@@MrRufusRToyotaBob.Hope.
Lol you virgin
Billy is an amazing performer! Fearless on stage! His accent puts it all together with his witty mind and Broadway voice!
You can't top Billy Crystal. He is and will always be the best in my opinion.
Brian Exley agree
Him and Whoopi Goldberg !
He is great. But Ricky Gervais would be even better. Lawl. Though the Acadamy would never dare to let him host. Honesty is something not liked in Hollywood :P
Brian Exley he’s a legend his comedy is spot on please bring him back to next years Oscars he was brilliant
Not close. Best was Bob Hope by a landslide
I love you Billy....I've been watching all the old Billy openings ...there treasures....❤️😇
where?
@@danielprovost Here. Just look up Billy Crystal Openings
@@colleen4ever Nah it's because he said 'there' instead of 'they're'. My lame attempt at a joke fell shorter than a shoeless Billy Crystal.
This guy has a talent from out of this world !!!
Billy Crystal is to my generation's Oscar host what Bob Hope was to the last generation.
Oh yeah!
Johnny Carson as well when I was growing up
Bob hope was boring. Corny.
Bob Hope wasn't our last generation. There was Johnny Carson before Billy and perhaps the greatest host of the Oscars there's ever been.
But who is this generations Billy Crystal?
wow what a difference. so elegantly done without being crass but forever classy
I can't believe I still watch it in 2018. I forgot that the actors and actresses were real and natural back then...wow
BILLY is a stellar entertainer...Marvelous!!
"This man killed everyone, so now he's home alone."
:DD
Billy Crystal is amazing! Can't wait for Oscar 2012 to watch him again.
Come back one more time, Billy - please. The Oscars need you desperately. Sally Lou Th., 8/15/19
Yes yes YES!!!!
Awesome performer with great talent. Kudos, Billy!
I just watched this on 7-7-18 for the first time since it aired live and 27 years later I still remembered it was funny as hell.
❤️Billy is the best. I never wanted to miss the opening from the Oscar’s specially when he was on.😀
I didn't know who he was but after watching 2020 Oscar Nominations came out and I start watching this guy. Man! He is real deal. The best host I even watched.
I miss you Billy one of the best Oscar hosts ever!
+Debra M He should be made permanent Oscar host.
Yes, yes he should. What's the deal with JIMMY FRIGGING KIMMEL this year?!?! Does no one remember the disaster that was David Letterman?!
@@colleen4ever They clearly haven't learned their lesson...
oh the old days. I miss them. So innocent in the delivery, no politics, no hating, just good old fashioned funny entertainment.
Oh, with the invention of social media, some nut outthere would find a way to make that opening political, had it been done today.
No one can't top Billy crystal....best host ever
The best host everrrrrrr... its in our memory forever.❤
So talented Billy crystal , he is amazing
Very!!!❤
Billy Crystal....the most underused, underestimated man in show business.....I wonder who he pissed off?
I bet he's turned down a lot of shit,
Well, if I starred in Parental Guidance, I would turn down a lot of stuff too.
Sous Chef 👩🍳👨🍳
He's a conservative and refused to slam politics....
Jinka1950 maybe not slam but he’d make jokes about the politics be world news throughout the year
BILLY CRYSTAL IS THE BEST HOST “EVER”!!!
I agree 1000%!!!👍🏼
He is the Best
Bring hım back.
Save oscars
Just saw Billy in Here Today. He’s amazing, as always!!
So good to watch Billy. One of a kind. No agenda. So refreshing
he was back for the next 2 years plus MANY more years after that and before hes one of the best oscar hosts ever
Billy is the best!
Best host! So glad you're back Billy!
I cracked up when I got to the part in the medley about GoodFellas.
The one and only ... The Master Entertainer .. Billy Crystal.
SO delightful what a great opening
This is a real hosting. Oscars needs this kind of show, not that crappy political censorship that it has become
AMEN!!
Ghost
Goodfellas
God Father III
Dances with Wolves
Awakenings
Now that’s what you call an Best Picture Oscar lineup.
yes except for Godfather 3 and Ghost lol
No Miller's Crossing.
@@purefoldnz3070 Dances With Wolves was trash... I prefer Godfather III over that crap ANY DAY.
@@ComandoPadentro ahahahaha Godfather 3 was a good comedy true.
@@purefoldnz3070 Ghost is a very good film, and Godfather 3 although not great as previous 2, solid trilogy
i like how he leads up to the song, he does it everytime
No other was as GREAT as the MC for the Academy Award shows than Billy Crystal! T
BILLY such a gift
This was a really excellent opening number. My favorite so far. The Godfather Part III was damn funny.
Wow! Dances with Wolves, Goodfellas, Ghost, The Godfather III. What a year!
MrConstantine02 amazing!!!!!!
Whatta year! Whatta host!!!
Misery too.
I unironically like the billy crystal's oscar meledies
Entrada epica. Jamas se repetira.
Crystal is right up there with Hope and Carson.
Missed those good old oscar shows!
Billy Crystal should just host the Oscars every year.
The best of times!
I was in junior high that year I still remember when I watched dances with the wolves on the big screen and watched it countless times on tv
Most of these films then had a quality script quality acting, and now they became classic
Sure someone says this about the Hollywood era of the 60 50 40s but the difference is 1991 was a modern year with modern technology and without the whole social media and reality tv everywhere madness
Billy crystal to some boring but so much better than jimmy kimmel
Brings memories specially seeing al Pacino at a younger age and the impressive Glenn glose These were the true A list stars of that time 😊
Kathy Bates looks amazing, in so glad she won best actress that night for her role in Misery!! and Jodie Foster sitting in front of her! Wow
Jodie Foster looked hot as hell.
I'm so happy they are bringing Billy back this year, we certainly need something extra brilliant after last year's disasterous Franco and Hathaway!
BRILLIANTE!
this video is as old as i am. and surprisingly nothing much has changed. america is still in war, hollywood studios are still in a coma, and billy crystal is still just as funny. :)
Absolutely the best host
Eu adoro este cara. Ele reúne tudo que é bom.
2:01 A Trump joke before Trump jokes became fashioned
@DooDooBumMan And wanting his money, of course.
Btw, "fashioned"? More like stale, frankly.

6:00 - 6:46 OMG He perfectly summarised The Godfather Trilogy in its Theme Music 🤣🤣🤣
billy crystal is the best oscar host ever
BILLY CRYSTAL IS THE BEST HOST OF ALL TIME!!!!
So excited that he's coming back!!!!!
The greatest host ever.
Billy is the best
This Is The Story about a Man named Corleone. He Killed Everyone So Now Hes Home Alone. XD
Crystal is diamond 🙂.
Watching in 2024. Billy's the GOAT. Great to see my love, Al Pacino, the best! :D
Billy was just absolutely the best ever
This year’s Billy medley is my favorite.
Back in the day when the competition to win an Oscar was hardcore, Everyone of those movies are top notch, they all should be Oscar winners! Be lucky to get even one decent oscar movie these days
A true master of his craft.
Billy Crystal won a special award for this medley, did he not?
Talent!
look how the Oscars today have turned into a Freak show compared to these... how sad!!! These were the days when it was classy and funny. Now all these emptied shell plastic Barbie dolls are nothing more than walking, talking marshmallow peeps.
With ridiculous obvious product placement. Ellen's twitter thing her second time, was cringe worthy overly long.
+Kasino80 I agree with you. It's no more about celebrating the movies, it's celebrating how much money these clowns get for promoting some stupid product.
One of the reasons I will NOT be watching it this year. The other is...of course...Jimmy Frigging Kimmel!
Just damn good.
billy cristal the a grade best ever host no one ever better , if you agree give me a thumbs up
fabulous best host ever
this year is great
Billy always seemed to luckily spoof the movie that ended up winning. He must have been tipped off, or had a really good sense of how the members think. He's a stand-up comedian so he probably knows how to read an audience and that's my guess.
I really wish they'd bring him back. I really think some of the other hosts struggle.
4 Emmy's total. 2 for this one: writing and individual variety show performance.

Genius!
00:32 I love when Billy says: "sorry i'm late, i was having lunch with Julia Phillipps, and we were talking about youuuuuuu"
Very charismatic. Im exfited fir these ones :)
Legend.
Love Billy Crystal.
The best of the best oscar host ever! Funnyy. Hope he will host 2020😊
Billy crystal said he was done hosting the Oscars. He said writing it is a pain in the ass.
The best
Freakin genius.
Finally, took forever
このオープニング大好き！
Billy is the best.
Best Oscar opening in my lifetime.
Iconic
Oh man. Beat Oscar host in history. They don’t make em like that anymore.
all I see when I hear Billy crystal is Mike
Number one
that oscar songs always feels like something from a Mel Brooks film ;)
can he do a medley for the best picture nominees for this year?
Thumbs up for Googling Billy Crystal Oscars 2013!
What a OG Donald Trump joke.
No-one could have imagined what would happen 26 years later. For that matter I don't think anyone could have imagined it 26 months ago.
Even then
What do ya have ta say now, Billy? Oh right, you probably wouldn;t say anything...cause you have class.
"Not a very nice guy...shot Moe Green in the eye..."
Cranston should host the Oscars. He is hilarious.
I love his song about the Godfather, Awakenings, Dances with Wolves.....hilarious stuff
He's a savant (not an idiot savant) Just a plain old savant!
