2009 Oscar Roundtable: 'It's a Sexual Bond'

[tvfanatic67]

Hawkins please stop moving your hands it's distracting from the interesting point your making.

[thebellrang]

Wow, great group (could do without Rourke). Langhella is fantastic!

[jennyheei]

robert is adorable

[JasonXP1000]

Rourke looks bored & disinterested - I think he views this talking about Acting as self-indulgent - Mickey just does it, makes it look easy then gets on with his life

[JordyPordyPuddinNPie]

brad and robert seem like the coolest guys

[angelamichas]

The more I see of Robert Downey Jr, the more I like him as a person. He strikes me as being very open and genuine - like he'll say it straight and not care what the others may think. I just think he's great!!

[CoolJuleofAces]

Brad pitt looks like he wants to fukin kiss Anne Hathaway's face. Well.. I don't blame him.

[idheadam]

Sally Hawkins was not nominated that year ?? why is she here ?

[Starmouche8011]

RDJ= intelligent, sexy, talented actor and legend!

[Sndymrnng]

Tropic Thunder rocked and I love Brad so much more now because he has a really good sence of humor and also made Rob happy. :)

[andersonxpl]

Tropic Thunder, now that's a fucking movie!

[soragirl792]

and here I always thought I was being ridiculous about my fears of being negatively criticized at something I hold so close to my heart as the performing arts !! It's so eye opening that even the actors I most admire and look up to still feel and know that sense of total vulnerability when it's time to present your work.

[tryingtogetby100]

Brad Pitt and Robert Downey Jr. need to do an action flick together lol

[iFlute4life]

lol i don't think i'd bee watching this if Robert Downey jr wasn't in it. :P

[happyperson123456]

@mermaydlondon Can you act? Nothings wrong with taking what you do seriously. Its not easy at all.

[Cassidyequalsinsane]

I watched these a few months ago and they impoved my performance so much but at the same time, changed who i am. These people are my role models. Rdj is my idol

[TheLegendaryDoc]

"Never go full retard!"

One of the greatest lines of Downey's carreer!

[cutapacka4]

Yeah, I'm sorry, I really loved Frank Langella in Frost/Nixon, but he talks about acting in the same tonal context a war veteran talks about surviving in the trenches. Acting is an art, but it's not heroes work, check the arrogance at the door :P

[CasiMirLtd]

@cutapacka4 Are you an actor?

[tokinblckgie]

@cutapacka4

lol Yeah. I kinda got a similar vibe.

[MegaDontbestupid]

@mongolenpup lastly, this is what they do on this thing, they talk about acting and what it is to be an actor, i'm watching because i'm interested and things like what you qouted are the kind of things that make it interesting for me. it's just a conversation.

[MegaDontbestupid]

@mongolenpup do you think all actors are like that? because if you do that's a bit of a big assumption to make about all actors, there are people like that in every profession. also, if you think that's what actors are like then why are you watching this video? other thing is that they are the only ones who know what it's like to go from the dark into the light infront of a lense. he may not have being saying that it somehow makes them more important, just adding to the conversation.

[iwantorlando05]

I love how Anne can't look at Brad for longer than 5 seconds. lol.

[blaint09]

Brad pitt "never go full retard" lol

[krissy270597]

Everyones doin poses,I'm rocking out on my air guitar.everyones havin serious face,I'm havin a big smile n kneeling down on the floor. Everyone have a plain bottle,screw it I'm havin a blue one, everyones sittin comfortably n nicely in their chairs,I'm gonna sit backwards.everyones keepin their hair nice I'm gonna spike mine up n I'm gonna be myself no matter what u think......rdj.....I (L) u

[DowneyDucky]

Everyone else got white regular water bottles? Well guess what? Mine gonna be blue then!

And then seeing that black voice come out of RDJ, NERDGASM!!!

[DowneyDucky]

BWAHAHAHA!! at 0:08 everyone all serious-model-pose, and then lil Robert down below, smiling as big as can be.. GAH! Just love him!

[gabysucks26]

god frank langella is insufferable. Anne is a bit annoying but shes so young. sally is incoherent. They should have just done it with RDJ and Brad. I love how robert actually knows other peoples work and cares

[Bellababe0009]

lol that was cool. 

[missym877]

Frank totally cuts off Sally its like OK ENOUGH with the rambling ...lol I was going to try and defend her but my godddd she is incoherent

[kamtiniyes]

I was thinking the same thing as Brad.

As soon as RDJ said his teacher told him to never go 100 percent, I shouted "Never go full retard!"

[contact1araya]

Pitt looks pissed becouse Frank and Robert are more likely to hook up with those girls

[TheOnlyKAT1]

LOL. I love when Brad Pitt quoted RDJ from Tropic Thunder. I think they understand each other well. You can see that Frank didn't watch Tropic Thunder. Everybody started cracking up when Pitt talked and Frank's like, "where is that from?" So Funny.

[YAYitsBrandi]

dude i would be ecstatic for brad pitt to quote my line from a movie directly to me! for one he watched the movie, and two he liked it enough to remember the line. and such a respected actor of his status...just wow. aww rob!

[KiwiFashionista]

LMAO! I was totally thinking "Never go full retard" when Robert was talking and then Brad said it and omg that made my day!

[TheGreatZurEnRaah]

It's so funny Brad Pitt said that because it was exactly what I was thinking the minute that Downey got involved in the conversation.

[ASloaneRanger]

what the fuck is sally hawkins spouting about? She doesn't make any sense at all!

[ilovepanslabyrinth]

@ASloaneRanger

Hahaha, it's so fuckin random what she's saying

[beliza87]

I didn't see the wrestlet, but i saw milk and i think frank langhella should have won for frost/nixon

[ysomar]

Love Robert Downey Jr. !

[80stimeagain]

Frank is so real like a regular guy. Cool stuff. :)

[Jokenisrad]

great question from Frank to Robert. Sally isnt so great at articulating her ideas

[johhn88]

@Jokenisrad yeahhh but..neither is Robert Deniro or Al Pacino or Dustin Hoffman u see where im going with this

[EmbriLoves]

i love it when people argue on youtube..

it's so funny :)

you sucka's go get a life..

[Jessica7Ann7Meier]

YESSSS loved it when Brad pulled out the tropic thunder line!!! I bet that just made Rob so happy :D made me happy.

[PadrethePio]

It's so nice to see these superstars be themselves, especially when they're all attending these award shows surrounded by the commercial, media frenzy we see on the red carpet.

[ferdinandoNo1]

Notice how rourke keeps quite..most of them talk such crap..Your actors..not saving lives!!

[Ronja06]

I love how it's all so relaxed and the guys are asking each other questions and at least seem genuinly interested ... Frank and Roberts interaction is especially great throughout this thing

[blavia77]

anne hathaway cannot act, she's exactly the same here as she is on screen

[kthevsd]

Not in Rachel getting married, she's really different in that. And playing yourself doesn't mean you can't act, it just means you have no range. The legendary Jack Nicholson made a career out of playing himself.

[blavia77]

I've seen rachel getting married, she wasn't any different to me, I still saw anne hathaway the who time in the film....and Jack Nicholson always changed (and I don't mean by voice), he was a completely different character from cocoos nest to the shining to jack geddys to wolf to the joker to about Schmidt...there is a huge difference between anne hathaways and jack nicholsons acting

[blavia77]

whole*

[blavia77]

cuckoos*

[kthevsd]

Doesn't matter if she wasn't any different for you. She was good enough to get an Oscar nom meaning people who know far more about acting than you or me thought she was great in the movie.

[ColonalJessup]

I'm ignorant ? LOL get over yourself kid. Many people get oscar noms when nobody has any idea who they are... some recent examles - Melissa Leo, Marion Cotillard(who actually won the Oscar), Javier Bardem(he wasn't famous then whenhe won), Richard Jenkins, Frank Langella. Stop making lame excuses to justify your idiotic logic which is basically just resentment.

[kthevsd]

Nobody other than art house fans has even seen love me if you dare. Most people even know would have no idea how Cotillard is, only in France is she well known. Maybe someday here in the US. Talent is what got Anne her Oscar nom and critical praise, her performance in Rachel getting married is top notch whether you like it or not.

[blavia77]

You are a loser if you think anne hathaway got that nom based on talent and even worse you think you know what you're talking about and you know fuck all about the hollywood system.

[kthevsd]

You need to get over yourself and stop bashing people for disagreeing with you can calling people names. Grow up. I had heard of both Bardem and Cotillard, I'm saying most had not. And nobody had heard of Melissa Leo. Stop logic dodging.

[kthevsd]

So if someone has a differing opinion than you they are a loser ? Grow up kid. Yeah sure only you know about the Hollywood system, you are after all some hot shot producer right ? Oh wait no you are not. Get over yourself. She got tons of acclaim for her performance in RGM and for good reason, she was fantastic. Get over it.

[JNicholson77]

So just because you don't think she's great and you don't think she deserved the Oscar that means anyone who disagrees with you deserves to be insulted and bullied and isn't entitled to their opinion.

Kthevsd and ColonalJessup why are you guys arguign with this artard ? Let him live in his delusions and fantasy world, who cares ? Hathaway certainly doesn't, I guarantee you that.

[blavia77]

I wasn't the only one giving the insults and I'm entitled to my opinion that she didn't deserve the oscar, they replied back to me... not only did ur statement contradict itself ur a loser who should get a life and butt out

[kthevsd]

We are all losers for arguing on the itnernet including you.

[blavia77]

yeah and if you just let me be in the first place no argument would have started

[kthevsd]

Obviously you are one of those bitter people who uses lame pedantic roundabout excuses to explain why and actor or actress they dislike is nominated for an Oscar. Jessup makes a great point, many nominees and winners were complete unknowns at the time so your reasoning fails.

By the way Jessup, blavia is responding to me not you, he/she isn;t saying you are ignorant so don't get so worked up.

[kthevsd]

You are contridicting yourself. You said you have to be a famous star to win an Oscar, untrue. All the poeple Jessup mentioned were not mainstream names. Cotillard and Bardem might have been famous in their countries, not in the US. And to this day nobody has any clue who the hell Melissa Leo or richard Jenkins are, they are not names, they are unkown to 99% of the world's population.

[ColonalJessup]

Fuckwit ? What are you 12 ?

"once you're famous thats when they think you're ''worthy'' not because of your talent"

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Al the people I mentioned were not famous when they were nominated, at least not Anne Hathaway famous. You are makign excuses to justify why people you dislike were nominated. Hathaway is considered a goo actress by people far more knowledgabel about movies and acting you, including Meryl Streep.

[kthevsd]

Well Streep herself did say she thinks Anne is a good actress, but she said Emily Blunt is one of the few young actresses who is a great actress so she implied that Blunt is better than Hathaway.

[jamarco31]

lol roberts just sitting backwards at the table..so cool

[TheQueenoftheday]

"...Neva go full retard!..." (Brad quoting Robert Downey Jr. in TROPIC THUNDER)

...Brad's so cute!

[siadragonfly3]

think rdj question to sally hawkins totally threw her off.. great chemistry between pitt & rdj over tropic thunder - they would be so good in a comedy/satire together

[xRemusJLupinx]

it would be so cool if they did something like that

[siadragonfly3]

fingers crossed :)

[Englishrose270]

Frank seems fascinated by Mr Downey. I'd love to see them have a nice chat :D

[rasb5385]

sally hawkins: verbal diarrhea. now will frank langella lighten up.

[MonaxLisaxx]

rdj + pitt at the same table = a dream come true

[mustangersalie]

crap mo' stink !

[dancinchicken2]

what was the question that was asked that robert said "if they did ive blocked it out?" then brad said never go full retard i couldnt hear it :(

[anala80]

dancinchicken2, answer to your question: Someone asked Robert, I think it was Frank Langella, if a director has ever put him down to which Robert answered "If they did, I've blocked it out..."

[dancinchicken2]

o thank you

[Blink182Omar]

I pissed my pants laughing from 5:08 till 5:25

[piratelover123]

lol me 2!

[babybirl009]

Robert was looking at Sally like shes stupid he didnt smile or even tried to give her a fake laugh when she thought she said something funny lol he was just staring at her with a blank face like hes thinking''this woman is a idiot''...poor girl lol

[coercingcoexistence]

yeah, she has a very had time putting her thoughts into words.

[adsense1]

If he laughs she won't ever sleep with him, if he doesn't she will try and win him over. He is no fool..

[freshfacehooker]

brad is fine.

[BjornIn1979]

Jesus Christ "Newsweek" you get A-list Oscar nominated actors in a room , but cannot get proper audio setup? sounds like the mic is stuck in that interviewer's ass

[LuvRobertDowneyJR]

OMG i luv 5:07-5:29............who knew brad was so funny.....and rdj omg luv him hes such a great actor and is so funny!!!!!

[mindthegap007]

what frank says about actors justifies completeley bale's reaction in the terminator set..

[ggfanjase]

Eh, I don't think it does. There's a fine line between sensitive actor and self-important nutjob.

[thequeenlives]

...Brad is absolutely irresistable when he grins!!......at 5:16...

[skinhugging]

i love how robert went into character so fast after brad said it lol

[Tendoking]

That's awesome that Pitt quoted from that movie.

[enemy855]

why is she looking down so much???

[myorli29]

Can I say it?

NEVER GO FULL RETARD!

LMAO! XD

[warriorprince1010]

The pretentious nonsense of talking about acting is unbelievable.

[solid220]

acting is an art form i dont know what u do but if its something u luv why not talk about it with colleagues and have fun

[MrsSlumdog]

I'd gave you a thumb up. These people get paid enormous ammounts of money, except Mickey Rourke in this case, and that should be it. But they can win many prizes too. How many people "feel vulnerable or safe" with their bosses? And not for a certain amnount of time but for years to go? To pay cinema tickets as an example so these creatures can excist? As much as I admire some actors directors, and how much I love movies, this is so over the top. Pretentious yes, very much so.

[kthevsd]

There is nothing pretentious about loving your craft and being passionate about them. The amount of jealous losers that hate actors for their success is amazing. It's not their fault your life sucks. Why even watch this video when you know you won't like the subject matter.

[kthevsd]

Another jealous idiot. It's not their fault your life sucks. They about their craft with passion, good for them. There is nothing pretentious about being proud of your art form and work. Now your comment on the matter is a good example of being pretentious.

[jimmyfsu84]

downey is the man

[bmt277]

robert downey jr is easily the most intelligent person out of this group of people

[tannerischunkylol]

roberts great sos brad but i love robert so sexy!!! i wanna be at that table!!

[tarafowler]

love seeing robert downey jr do the lincoln osiris voice without the makeup hehehehe

[tmartha]

downey jr is funny like hell... great actor

[iKinDesigns]

What a steaming pile of fucking SHIT.

This is a table filled with mindless numb nuts bragging about eachother's shitty movies.

Embarrassing as hell.

[kthevsd]

Aww how cute, a jealous little boy. Don't be bitter that they are more successful, wealthy, famous, and talented than you can ever hope to be in your life.

Mindless numb nuts ? These are some of the most talented artists and entertainers of our time, they are admired world wide. Shitty movies ? There movies are great and entertaining.

Don't blame them for your own failures in life, don't be bitter at other people's success.

[corkguy30]

poor sally

[KingGrizzlebeard]

i'd love to know what Rourke was thinking .

[warriorprince1010]

Rourke is clearly on drugs.

[solid220]

lol why u say that hes not but why u say that

[JHZildjian]

what? how do you know he's not?

You know as much as warriorprince1010 does.

[solid220]

dood drinks hes prob hung over and dont ask a question that doesnt matter

[JHZildjian]

oh yes sir.

[solid220]

good lil boy

[MrsSlumdog]

I do agree with you other message but not with this one. I think he was modest and had not much to tell and no one asked him anything. Anyway, I know how hard he worked and for less money than these other actors. The only former drug addict there was Robert Downey Jr.

[thequeenlives]

LOL!!!...

...I've never even seen the movie TROPIC THUNDER, but i think what Brad Pitt and Robert Downey Jr. did at 5:07 is FREAKIN HILARIOUS!!!!!!

[tannerischunkylol]

tropic thunders amazing you have to see it!

[masterdeviance1985]

sally hawkins makes no sense, im almost embarrassed for her

[WestlifeNO1ShaneFan]

O how I LOVE ROBERT!!! He is so smart and funny and takes things in his stride, doesnt mind having a laugh! I would love to hang out in a room and chat to him! If I was sitting next to him I wouldnt want the time to end! (lucky anne)

[leobutler]

pitt was a extra in the party seen in less than zero so downey and pitt kinda already been in a movie together. but a action movie with both would be great!!!

[RDJfan4ever]

Robert and Brad are so incredibly sexy and funny! Love how Brad got Robert to go back to Tropic Thunder!

[thequeenlives]

Wow....Pitt and Downey jr are so funny!...they should do a movie together...

[RobertDowneyJr4Ever]

Oh, that was so great. I loved Frank's question, and robert's answer was so amazing, i love how he explains everything.

[firefly6763]

Hawkins is incredibly frustrating to try to understand, maybe she was nervous but she never did seem to get around to making a point.

[jillcoli76]

I love FRANK!!

[iluvhollywood08]

lol...All of these actors/actresses have a good sense of humor. Especially Downey and Pitt.

[Downeytastic]

Lawl.

[ChunkLee13]

yeah! Robert brought Osiris back! gosh he was amazing in Tropic thunder! lol and Brad did his little impersonation of it too! :D

[junesnowball]

I like this video.
