American Beauty winning Best Picture

[ORwu]

By the way, the announcer for that ceremony: Marty Richards, producer of the 2003 Best Picture winner, "Chicago."

[MarPiQx]

"American Beauty" is my absolutely favourite movie of all time!!!

[lawton654]

This is probably the most powerful and moving film I've ever seen. So much so I cried at the end. I've never cried at a movie since then or before it. I think everyone can relate to Lester in one way or another.

[johnkeith21]

Awww Kevin and Sam

[oiergasdn]

"sometimes there's so much beauty i feel like i can't take it" FUCK. I get goosebumps every single time i hear that. Jesus!

[humpaloompa]

yo that was tight, green mile was also very good, but very glad american beauty won, it really was the best.

[PaulRietvoorn]

he doesn't give them time to applaud :P

[bleachbred]

The film is a classic!

[blaaairVideos]

at 1:58 i almost cried lol

[MrAstronomy123]

American Beauty is a great film, but the best film of 1999 was Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, Eyes Wide Shut...

[lolla909]

i downloaded and read the entire script twice. that's how much i love this movie <3

[Santy960529]

I fall in love of "American Beauty"!

[gomamon100]

The best film made in the last 12 years.

[gleguav]

4 guy's families aren´t beautiful

[rjmdog4]

2:00 - QUE CUTE!!

[hix1923]

Nice!That movie really deserves an Oscar!

[hix1923]

Nice! That movie really deserves an Oscar!

[528491Inception]

american beauty was amazing and is one of my all time favs,

but it could just has easily gone to the green mile

[TheJonnyMidnight]

This cracks me up. Sam Mendes is such a hack. Michael Mann is a true genius and The Insider was a near-perfect movie.

[BajebusDiabetus]

There's so much beauty in this video, I feel like I can't take it.

[GalataProduction2006]

the best movie ever not only 1999!

[loghen01]

Deserved. Period.

[razbigranicu]

For me best films of 1999 are Fight Club, Being John Malkovich, Eyes Wide Shut, The Straight Story and The Blair Witch Project

[teeahtate]

When I first saw this movie, I did not get it. I needed to live a little more to 'get it'. Now I enjoy this movie.

[forman208]

Fight Club and The Matrix should have at least been nominated

[Mr11MUSICMAN]

@forman208 I agree.

[Lubbylove89]

I miss this. I miss when the winners were unpredictable. It's almost pointless to air the Oscars anymore because they have the winners already picked out pretty much.

[curak76]

The Insider was robbed

[Batuso88]

So many great films were nominated. Truly a good movie year. But indeed American Beauty is still one of the best movies I've ever seen. I still remember being sad for several days after Lester got shot. :')

[noomrise983]

I just finished watching American Beauty, and I regret now having watched it sooner.

Seriously one of the greatest movies I've seen.

[deborahaaranson]

quel grand film c'est mérité je kiffe ce film

[mydancehalldrug]

much deserved.

[ThomasDeCosteTV]

I guess Toy Story 2 should have been nominated.

[ravballer]

im going to watch this movie tonite !

[oscarxp25]

This was the last oscars I got up and yelled in celebration. I was so happy when American Beauty won best picture

[ralphvds]

No one really mentions this very often about the Oscars.

But I really like the stage design of that year's award show.

Last years stage design was as dreadfull as the rest of the ceremony.

Any thoughts on this topic, anyone?

PS: Oscarwinner Bruce Cohen is this years producer of the Oscars.

Hopefully he can make up for last years disaster.

[Bonzostar]

The Sixth Sense and The Green Mile were excellent too. That was a tough choice for Best Picture.

[TiagoNigga]

@Bonzostar dont forget fight club, even tho it wasnt nominated

[amir8520]

I watched American Beauty yesterday for first time and it was just astonishing with so powerful characters.

this movie certainly deserves 2 oscar statuettes only for Best Picture.

[trtquy]

that is like the most well-prepared and articulate best picture speech ever

[deenzilla]

I kind of think Fight Club should of been nominated.. 1999 was a sorry year.

[SAX713]

the speech was crap from the beginning

[DCDancer14]

The Green Mile was GREAT, but A.B. was the best of 99

[randomiszen]

I love how Kevin puts his arm around Sam when they talk about him.

[MHIoscar]

(from 3:03 to the end of the video) i love the music! anyone know were to find it...

[woodywoodpecker896]

why is the producers going up and not the director, writer and actors

[MCBailz]

@woodywoodpecker896 or Steven Speilberg

[thesalvationhasbegun]

Could You guys get the video of Sam Mendes winning best director for American Beauty

[MCBailz]

@thesalvationhasbegun They did, which kicks ass

[MichaelChapman18]

@thesalvationhasbegun now we just need Alan Ball's win

[bradley583]

Wow... 1999 was a great year for film all those and Fight Club, Magnolia, Eyes Wide Shut, The Matrix, Toy Story 2, The Hurricane--- the list goes on and on...

[MCBailz]

@bradley583 and South Park BLU

[cinemapsycho91]

Voting for this movie to win Best Picture was one of the Academy's biggest mistakes. Magnolia was the most deserving film that year.

[Hemloch]

@cinemapsycho91 dude American Beauty is a masterpeace one of the best screenplays ever and the fact that you think its the worst movie to win best picture is so fucking wrong so go fuck yourself

[ReklawRemix]

@cinemapsycho91 Hey asshole, you may think that it was a mistake, but that doesn't make it true. In fact, who's to say ANY movie is undeserving. There's no right way to do art. I personally didn't enjoy Shakespeare in Love, but it was still a well made movie and deserved every bit of that oscar. And so did American Beauty!

[cinemapsycho91]

American Beauty winning for Best Picture was a bunch of bullshit, Nothing special about that movie what. It was one of the Academy's biggest mistake since the year before when Shakespeare in Love won for Best Picture. Magnolia was the most deserving film of the year. It was the most original and entertaining film of the year.

[cinemapsycho91]

American Beauty winning for Best Picture was a bunch of bullshit!!! NOTHING special about that movie WHAT SO EVER. It was one of the Academy's biggest mistake since the year before when Shakespeare in Love won for Best Picture. Magnolia was the most deserving film. It was the most original and entertaining film of the year!!!

[alexxxdamasta187]

Not only should Magnolia have been nominated, it should have won.

[TiagoNigga]

@alexxxdamasta187 magnolia is good movie, but 1999 is IMO the best year of cinema in the world, and magnolia wasnt the best pic of that year

[henrysinaga]

A very memorable and competitive year....

[FilmFreakable]

Out of these nominee's American Beauty deserved it, because its just a great film reguardless. But for me, the best of the year was Being John Malkovich.

My God, what a rich year for cinema!

[Hemloch]

there was no movie in 1999 that was better then American Beauty

[MCBailz]

@Hemloch tied with Toy Story 2

[hasselett]

@Hemloch The Green mile was better - I have watched both.

[Hemloch]

@hasselett was not

[brodyisabella4]

@Hemloch There's no movie ever that's better than American Beauty.

[Mr11MUSICMAN]

@Hemloch Uhhhh Fight Club?

[picturemaker88]

@Hemloch hmm American Beauty was a grat film but THE best? i'd say...

films better than American Beauty in 1999: Magnolia (Paul Thomas Anderson has never won... why?), Fight Club and Three Kings.

films as good as American Beauty in 1999: The Sixth Sense (fuck today's M Night Shyamalan), The Insider, and Man on the Moon.

films that are very good but not like American Beauty: The Matrix (literally fuck the shit sequels), The Virgin Suicides and The Green Mile.

[clockwrkornge]

@Hemloch FIGHT CLUB!

[ryudo113]

@clockwrkornge American Beauty > Fight Club

[peeeons]

@Hemloch

The Green Mile was pretty damn good but not better than American Beauty!

[andykaufmen]

@Hemloch there was no movie ever

[N9acimasiz]

@Hemloch you definetely haven't seen The Green Mile (1999). Although i really liked american beauty i'd have to say that the green mile is much better.

[FuneralForCassie]

@N9acimasiz I'VE seen Greenmile but i do think American Beauty really deserve it...but it's pretty close though...

[JarHarJar]

@Hemloch i disagree, FIGH T CLUB!!!

[dimitreis]

@Hemloch eyes wide shut was SO much better...

[wordorbit]

@Hemloch i think Magnolia enters the conversation

[mark41095]

@Hemloch Fight Club might have been a little better. but i still love american beauty. just sayin

[Neuroneos]

@Hemloch Matrix ...

[blaaairVideos]

@Hemloch Magnolia.

[chicoamf]

American Beauty. Just a masterpiece, nothing less.

[ReklawRemix]

[AaronARCA]

[uberhorse]

God, I love American Beauty. A good year for Oscar.

[nWo315]

[soma95207]

One of the best "Best Picture" winners in the last 20 years! A masterpiece!

[ThomasDeCosteTV]

I want to see Sam Mendes winning for directing it!

[TSM8088]

Without question, one of the best movies of the past 25 years.
