William Hurt winning Best Actor

[ForeverVachon]

Those are some huge cheekbone implants!

[RyderDavis]

Harrison was on location filming "The Mosquito Coast" with "Witness" director Peter Weir, who also nominated that evening.

[shivanebangkok2008]

where is harrison ford?

[shivanebangkok2008]

harrison ford was one of those actors who needed more oscar nominations and wins, he needed to make better choices on which roles to accept

[shnooger]

Hey Jon Voight, what's with the scarf all the time??

[RSLindsay]

When William Hurt's name is announced, he is sitting beside Marlee Matlin, his girlfriend at the time. She won the Oscar the following year, for "Children of a Lesser god."

[CorporalNomad]

Jack Nick:im gonna kill you biach

[elmodecipio]

And he wanted to leave the production of the film in half.2:51 ''saudade'' means I miss you.

[TheatreFilmBuff]

William Hurt is one of the finest actors around and one that I highly respect for how he is always willing to go back to acting classes to work on his craft. This Oscar was very deserved, easily one of the best given out. I have to say that I also highly respect him for acknowledging the great Raul Julia, who was snubbed unfairly that year. He was worthy of a nomination and probably the only person who would have deserved to win over Hurt.

[Carrots43]

Liberal hollywood at it's best

[Theeylovekim]

1:31 thats Angelina Jolie ! Love her....

[someonezmom]

@Theeylovekim well spotted..I had to slide it back

[klasomentas]

Anjelica Houston hummanahummanahummana...

[sookiestackhouse2u]

william didn't expect to win ... you have to love his reaction .... and, yes, raul should have been nominated as well. great film.

[Troublemaker1991]

Watch closely at the right of the screen at 3:11

LMAO

[warhols25]

@Troublemaker1991 ...and may I know what You see there at 3:11? :-)

[superlex611]

to bad danny glover wasn't nominated for the color purple he should replace james garner or harrison ford 

[superlex611]

Oscars to bad danny glover wasn't nominated for the color purple

[edgeandy]

Jack Nicholson = Stoned

[2000mudkip]

he used to live in my house willam hurt =D

[tulllguy]

I saw Jim Rockford.

[LDKBBAB]

Man, William Hurt just gives off that Dad vibe.

[sookiestackhouse2u]

@LDKBBAB ... wow, what a Daddy!

[christopherhoughton1]

He was good, but I always thought Raul Julia was better in that movie.

[custommakaroon]

I luv you wife .

[KarawHesangh1000]

aww pretty angelina jolie at 1:31

[KarawHesangh1000]

aww pretty angelina jolie at 1:31

[MichaelChapman18]

Jack got that 'damn I'm old' look when they panned to him

[TheADzioba]

It should have been Jon Voight.

[cielofonseca]

@TheADzioba not at all that was William all the way !! amazing performance... i give Jon credit for Midnight Cowboy hands down !

[TiltBrook]

@TheADzioba Absolutely correct! Voight sould have definitely won! Also, the movie itself, Runaway Train is extremely underrated!

[shawthingfilms]

Only jack nicholson could get away with wearing sunglasses at the oscars. Gotta love him

[oboshredder2]

Hurt wins hands down ... this is an awesome line up , but hurt was the best ... I can say that in this case the members really watched all Noms and picked the best ... Recently it seems like the Academy votes for the front runner and does not care to watch the others

[suryavarmanvii]

The winner was the fifth best choice from among the nominees, though Hurt had the grace to begin by recognizing his costar, Raúl Julia.

[oscaroes]

Could you find the girl next to Jon Voight ? Who's she? Anyone says.

I like William Hurt. He was acting tremendously.

[Daviysoh]

@oscaroes Of course she is Angelina Jolie, Jon's daughter.

This is her first appearance on the Academy awards.

[oboshredder2]

Raul should have got nom ... even supporting

[dannlynch]

shame he was so unprepared. His performance was amazing.  the film still haunts me 20 years later!

[YOYOdaMOOSE]

lol jack nicholson has his masturbating face on

[superlex611]

what a great speech

[Marty0Mcfly]

Is that a 10 year old angelina next to jon voight??

[OzzyCanary]

Look at Angelina Jolie next to Jon Voight!

[FilmFanClaire]

Anjelica Houston looks just ravishing

[mrberryv]

Harrison Ford's only nomination, believe it or not.

[bernmungin]

Angela Joile looks cute in this clip!

[cielofonseca]

Beautiful movie amazing performances.. !

[HarrisnFordStar]

Facts:

Harrison Ford should have won.

Jack Nicholson is SO high.

Period.

[dkelly26666]

@HarrisnFordStar Your OPINION. Fact: You're a Harrison Ford fanboy, who likely wouldn't be if he had never made "Star Wars" or "Indiana Jones". Hurt was extraordinary in "Kiss of the Spider Woman", whereas Ford, while great, was rather ordinary in "Witness". Period.

[yellow62993]

Should've been Harrison Ford

[dkelly26666]

@yellow62993 Have you even SEEN "Kiss of the Spider Woman"??? Ford is great, I love him. But comparing his work in "Witness" to Hurt's in "Kiss", Hurt wins, hands down. He was remarkable.

[outinsider]

I saw Kiss of the Spider Woman last night, and he deserved his honor. He is the first actor to win an Oscar for playing a gay man, and the picture was the first independent movie to be nominated for Best Picture.

[YTfancol]

Whatever happened to him ?????

[AhYaOk]

@YTfancol he works at walmart

[dkelly26666]

@AhYaOk Smart aleck. LOL. Hurt is still around, still working. He went on to "Children of a Lesser God", "Broadcast News", "The Accidental Tourist", "The Doctor", "Smoke", "Jane Eyre", "Michael","Lost in Space", "Dark City", and some more recent works include "A History of Violence" and "The Incredible Hulk" with Edward Norton. He is great, and was extraordinary in "Kiss of the Spider Woman". He well deserved the win.

[dkelly26666]

He is a great actor, and well-deserved this win here. He was EXTRAORDINARY in "Kiss of the Spider Woman".

[Ganonlink1991]

I've finally seen this film, amazin performance so well deserved.

[gitrogter]

Angelina Jolie at 1:33!!!!!! how old is she? like 12???

[Saxowolf]

Jack is the highlight of the Oscars :=)

[TCM666]

Jack Nicholson is so HIGHH!

[TCM666]

Jack Nicholson is so HIGH!

[joaopumper]

Wait is that Jon Cryer sitting next to Hector Babenco once W.Hurt is done with his speech?

[adrys19jr]

Thank u very mucho William to share your Oscar with Raul. The only one. The best. I miss u Raul and i love u so much

[nWo315]

even though William Hurt deserved and won the oscar, Raul Julia at least deserved a nomination

[mefeline]

this film means so much to me since my childhood days because of his role in particular, he doesn't seem to recognize his greatness, he barely had anything to say, much respect for him and raul and babenco and weisman.

[JRPHILLIPS75]

jack looks stoned. well...

[francorevi]

A young Angelina Jolie, sitting beside her father, Jon Voight

[AgentGordonCole]

I love John Voight applauding himself, what a tool haha.

[adrys19jr]

Thank u William Hurt to share the oscar with Raul Julia

[queenagi]

Jaltruff: it's him!

[ayment]

William Hurt and Raul Julia. Both of a great actor. He deserving this award.

[ayment]

William Hurt and Raul Julia. Both of a great actor. He deserving this award.

[henrysinaga]

Very deserved win, my most favorite male acting performance in a film of all time!

[getlikemc]

i cant find this film anywhere. . .

[ferreirainfante]

"Saudade", a word without traslating in the most of the languages

[Xafred75]

I like Sally Field, but boy is her voice grating!

[missnatvic]

Thanks ^^

[b0bwhyb3n]

between Ford and Hurt I think. I really liked the Witness and The Kiss of the spiderwoman

[Gunnarsas]

She made fun of her speech - good girl Sally.

[Appallas]

Nicholson must be such a douche!!

[bradley583]

HAHA ANGELINA JOLIE!!!! (next to Voight after his mention) :-P

[Ganonlink1991]

@Oscars could you upload Tilda Swinton's win? Also Roberto Beningni's best actor win and Russell Crowe's?

[thedrmat]

1:32 HOLY SHIT!! A very young Angelina Jolie sitting next to his dad!! :O

[jaltruff]

Near the end. Isn't that a very young Jon Cryer sitting next to Hector Babenco?

[hawkeyepierce12]

@jaltruff

It certainly looks very much like him. Everybody spotted a young Angelina, but it seems that 99.95% of us missed this!

[dkelly26666]

@hawkeyepierce12 It IS Cryer, yes.

[MLP88]

Jack Nicolson's facial expression his name is announced ?

"McMurphy" after the lobotomy. Got to love his way.......at these events!

[nWo315]

he was just brilliant in this film, such a sublime performance from a fine actor

also i really love the theme music as he goes up

[Sabs801]

Wow, Nicholson was GONE.

[johnyzero2000]

Should have went to Harrison Ford.

[metafact]

Certainly, Hurt was a fine winner, but why wasn't his Kiss of the Spider Woman co-star Raúl Juliá also nominated?  He was just as impressive in a less "showy" role.

[KOHF34]

Interesting note: William Hurt and Raul Julia nearly swapped roles, but the idea was rejected by the director. Smart move too, William Hurt is a fabulous actor.

[vinnayt]

"I share this with Raul" *massive applause*

[Tigerlily21]

Um....this is a video about William Hurt's win not Angelina's. So annoying.

[SANDRILLA1979]

EN ESE VIDEO APARECE MARLEE MATLIN AL LADO DE WILLIAM HURT,PERO AUN NO ERA CONOCIDA PORQUE HASTA AHORA ESTABAN FILMANDO CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD

[zyzzyvacation]

Can't believe my eyes! That's a very young Angelina Jolie seated next to dad Jon Voight - 1:30 - being nominated for "Runaway Train" by Sally Field.

[pepeasantos]

"saudade brazil" LoL!

[Tigerlily21]

Sally Field is annoying. Go William Hurt! Very sweet to see a man so touched by the win.

[krforsvs]

look, a really young angelina jolie at 1:34 !

[queenagi]

Isn't it Marlee Matlin who sits next to Hurt? Funny that next year he will hand her over the Oscar for Best Actress, as the last year's Best Actor for a film in which she played with him, and also her then partner in private life.

[zim83]

Jon Voight (sitting next to Angelina) and, above all, William Hurt were miles ahead of the other nominees that year. A very deserved win.

[richardywuk]

Kudos to Ms Field for her self-deprecating humour and a well-deserved win for William Hurt! x

[pepeasantos]

Man, I was looking for that video for so long ...

thanks for whoever who has posted this video... "Brazil...saudade" LoL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pepeasantos]

jjjj

[pepeasantos]

kkk

[chicolua]

Saudade, William! You deserved it!

[gingerbreadcorpses]

This is my favorite of all the Best Actor wins

[nauvalyazid]

Love it when Sally Field made fun of her own joke in accepting her Oscar the year before.

And look at the women these nominees brought with them! All Oscar winners: William Hurt dated Marlee Matlin (the following year's winner), Jack Nicholson dated Anjelica Huston (the winner earlier that nite), and Jon Voight brought along his daughter, Angelina Jolie (a winner herself 14 years later from the night of the ceremony).

Incredible!

[emantabrizi]

I loved him in "The Village."

[CJLOVE23]

look at little Angelina!

[YouriH190]

OHHH COME ON ACADEMY! WILLIAM HURT SHOULD'VE BEEN GIVEN A STANDING OVATION FOR THAT AMAZEING PERFORMANCE! he deserved not just an oscar but a standing ovation

[oldschoolcomedy]

wow he was skock

[ShawnML2]

I think that's Angelina Jolie sitting next to Jon Voight.

[pishpasch]

lol! I love how at the very very end the lady's dress got stuck on the podeum and then it fell over.

I saw Marlee Matlin sitting next to him and I smiled. :)

[artmania1990]

i love william hurt's reaction! he really wanted this and seems genuinely humbled

[juninv]

man, is that angelina next to john voight? O_o

[xaxie1]

1:14, errr jack, are you alive in there?

[Vanildojr]

Hey, é a Angelina Jolie em 1:32?

[dinasztie]

Picking the winner here is really a no-brainer. Absolutely deserved win.

[Adiorocks949]

Damn,Jolie looked so young.

[missuniworld]

01:31 Angelina Jolie!

[chusomen]

Is that Marlee Matlin the girl hi kisses?



[ADILE86]

And next to Jon Voight, a young and innocent Angelina Jolie;)

[foxygirl1977]

I love these Oscar clips. Please keep them coming. They are very enjoyable.

[armida55]

little angelina jolie!!!! weee

[Irenesnooker]

oh my god Angelina Jolie is sooo young!

and Jack Nicholson, wow!

[johnfitz441992]

1st

[scorsese86]

Isn't that Angelina next to Jon Voight?

[Bocilicious1]

oh how cute at 1:33, angelina jolie as a little girl

[Troublemaker1991]

lol @ Jack Nicholson at 1:12!

[lukenuetzmann]

I love that Harrison Ford wasn't there.

[WhiteFlowerLei76]

It looks so very 80's, the clothes and hair LOL. I love that you can see Angelina Jolie sitting next to her father in the audience.

[MilwaukeeIrishJoe]

Two things:

How much blow was Jack on? 1:13

I love Angelina Jolie's teenager bangs. 1:32

[TheLegendYH]

What a lovely speech.

[Tomayer1]

lol at Jack Nicholson at about 1:16 i can subtitle that part for ya, it's simply "durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­"

[Ivanatis]

always great to see them surprised:)

[smotsliner]

damn boy, james gardner looked good

[Tigerlily21]

Sally Field was really annoying me though. She never knows when to shut up.

[rileymccarthy]

Is that Angelina Jolie sitting next to her dad at 1:30?

[Psifonian2]

He is so overjoyed, and he definitely deserved it - though I wish Raul Julia was nominated as well.

[dewbunny110362]

Sally fiedl is soooooooooooo plain

[xxxWarriorGoddessxxx]

Why Jack looks so shocked that he just found out he was nominated, LOL!
