Anjelica Huston winning Best Supporting Actress for "Prizzi's Honor"

[georgedrometer]

remember when the Oscars lost a heckuva lot of legitimacy when The Color Purple went 0-11?

[Lovett19991]

when they read Anjelica Huston in Prizzi's Honor she didn't seem happy for being nominated.

[ricardogutierrezable]

what is up with their hair?

[jamerikan5689]

@ricardogutierrezable its the 80's

[abcbdc]

what song is playing when she wins?... 0:56-1:10

[philipc67]

@abcbdc Baby, it's a jazzed-up version of the Overture to Rossini's Barbiere di Siviglia (Barber of Seville).

[Daviysoh]

@abcbdc It is unreleased original score from "Prizzi's Honor" composed by Alex North.

[rocknrolladan]

Oprah is ugly since she was young, jajajajaj

[VelvetRope46]

Anjelica is such a brilliant actress, and she is intelligent, beautiful, and classy. She is the epitome of an amazing woman

[PokeyVision]

Was John Huston not there? When she mentions him, they cut to Jack.

[MargotVoguey]

@PokeyVision Maybe that was why he was laughing...

[MrCFNA]

she's stunning in that green dress (maybe she's on a top 5 all time best dressed oscars), she's an excellent actress... love her

[TheNoodle97]

she needs another one this year for 50/50

[fffffffffffffffff604]

Amazing actress...just...amazing.

[mvasileia]

i think Anjelica Huston was fantastic!!! I LOVE HER!! could you please tell me which song do we hear when she stands up???

[Antichrist2000]

Jesus Jack was a lucky man.

[EJBronteable]

Is that Jennifer beside Meg Tilly @ 1:00?

[tetrulz]

omg the hair of those nominees 

[cambon23]

Margaret and Oprah should have one

[americansize0]

im sorry i like ang Houston , but Margaret avery should of won she was robbed 

[MissEsmeralda1988]

Oprah Winfrey should have won.

Though Anjelica Huston is a brilliant acress too. ;)

[LiannaRodriguez]

I just love her. She's such an elegant lady.

[isakechaos]

Anjelica Huston is an EPIC actress

[jan63019]

@isakechaos SHE didn't seem happy!

[edghayes]

Is her father Jack Nicholson?!

[fatizoo1000]

@edghayes No, Actually her father is a famous director.

[MachineintheSky]

@edghayes Jesus, no! He was her date then, haha :)

[TheJiltedLovers]

@edghayes lol Jack was her boyfriend at the timer. Her father is John Huston - a famous director.

[thedeetzes]

She should be proud of that outfit choice. Pretty timeless considering it was '85.

[jckfmsincty]

This was a fairly competitive year for this category. But handily, Huston gave the best performance. She artfully combined the slyness and complexity of her role while hitting all the subtle, emotional peaks. Huston hilariously  mined the dark aspects of her character without being a cliche.

[atomus]

Oprah robbed? please! She doesn't deserve a seat in the audience

[NJNupe1911]

@atomus

You sound jealous..or maybe you NEVER saw "The Color Purple"

[89plainsman]

Margaret Avery was ROBBED!!!!

[KrueMann1992]

@89plainsman Meg Tilly was robbed

[crashpit35]

im not sure, but she looks like shes coked up. and where are her titties?

[JOJO22858]

I am no great fan of Oprah Winfrey. But IMO Oprah deserves this Oscar for her

role as Sofia in TCP, Hands Down!!! O wuz robbed!!

[loghen01]

Oprah robbed? LOL.

[JOJO22858]

This Oscar belonged to OPRAH!! I still believe this after 25 years. I think Oprah was

the BEST thing about "The Color Purple" and I am not a regular viewer of her show.

[dldee912]

One of the greatest actresses of Hollywood

[QTXQuemikalTurn]

this is bullshit, Im sorry but Angelica Huston great actress, but no one was fucking with the performances of Oprah and Margaret, Margaret obviously should have went home with that one !, and if not her second best Oprah.

[rocknrolladan]

Anjelica lost one breast, i don't know where, but she lost it

[mikeparez]

Oprah and Margret were robbed

[jw79bull]

Oprah was robbed

[rihannarocks6]

anjelica - queen clarion - tinkerbell :D

[mrbeltis]

oprah's so happy anjelica won

[YoungFrankenstein]

Meg Tilly looked GORGEOUS!

[fatizoo1000]

It's a woman Soul in a man's body :))) She's so strong and tall like a man

[Carmarthan415]

OMG Anjelica Huston beats the hell outta that hag oprah

[panicattackman20]

bless her you can see she is so nerves beforehand and just like speechless afterwards

[Mesalonika]

Margret Avery has it all !! Beauty class talent!! why is my comment pending approval? !

[Mesalonika]

Margret Avery has style, love her. Style, elegance, dignity, class and beuty not to mention talent!!!

[JohnCronin103]

Margret Avery has some nappy ass hair!! nah just kidding.

[Saturn1885]

if there's a woman with a strong presence it is anjelica huston, she's amazing in everything she does

[JuJuMJFan4life]

YEAH!!! Anjelica you go girl.

[flix2view]

Why didn't the camera focus on John Huston? He was sitting right there.

[movieman311975]

I love Anjelica Huston but she really shouldve been nominated and should have won for The Witches and not Prizzis Honor. she was excellant in The Witches!

[asherhawke]

I think Angelica should have taken off her face and become the Grand High Witch

[longfootbuddy]

im glad she beat oprah

[kralle7611]

wow she is nervous as hell. look at 0:19

[Liberal1969]

I love Amy's Super '80s hair! YES!!!

[sundaygirl1000]

First off, what the hell is wrong with Amy Madigan's hair?!

But secondly and more importantly, Anjelica Huston is incredible. 10x better than Oprah :)

[Koermuvguy]

Anjelica looks so cold

[borat27]

oprah was nominated for an oscar? didnt know that

[WithCher]

LOVE HER <3!

[duckwrangler]

Alot of people commented how she didnt say anything to her father on the way to the stage. She said that if she had she would have been too emotional then and unable to give a speech - which is why she ran back to him directly from the stage.

[NJNupe1911]

@duckwrangler

..yes and she should have since it was BECAUSE OF HIM THAT SHE WON. Everyone knows that OPrah should have gotten that award, but back then the reminents of "OLD HOLLYWOOD" was still very much present in the Academy. THANK GOD MOSTLY ALL OF THEM ARE DEAD AND THE AWARDS ARE NOW GIVEN BASED ON PERFORMANCE AND NOT POLITICS!

[Messylin]

Anjelica Huston was absolutely GENIUS in The Witches. "I hope nobody ELSE is going to make me CROSS today!" She should have won an Oscar for that!

[dwzcollege]

morticia addams!

[Alfito83]

She also should have gotten a nomination for "The Witches". I am happy she has an Oscar, she is a phenomenal actress. But I think her best performance to date is in "The Grifters".

[cwwomenforum]

Absolutely new forum dedicated to celeb women that you find inspiring. Starting off with my favorite 3: Meryl Streep, Anjelica Huston and Cher. We will only feature accomplished and wise women that are true role models. So no Paris, Britney, etc. Come in and contribute with....whatever you want.

-celebwonderwomenDOTfreeforums­DOTorg

[TopazBiscuit]

Meg Tilly was robbed big time! She actually shedded big globbing tears in "Agnes of God" was more believable than the other supporting actresses and Litteraly submerged herself into the character of Agnes and she was in "Agnes of God' more than Anjelica Huston was in "Prizzi's Honor" I can't believe that Anjelica was even nominated! You See what happens when politics take over.

[abluecarrot1]

Oprah Winfrey really should have won this.

[Avariio]

Anjelica IS Oscar material, however Prizzi's Honor was not the film she should've won it for.

Lilly Dillon in the Grifters was the role for Anjelica not only is Anjelica leading material but it was a role that was very daring, sexually provocative and believable. It is hard to believe though Anjelica has been only nominated three times throughout her career.

[Delage82]

Meg Tilly should've won that year. While I do like Anjelica Huston, she wasn't bad, but her character added nothing to the plot of the film. Meg Tilly's performance, however, was an absolute tour de force, especially on the hypnosis scene. At least she got the golden globe.

[Avariio]

@Delage82, Huston should've won for the Grifters while Huston is more of a leading lady.

[gvt2u]

I was in an elevator in NY with Angelica Huston once. I could not believe that a movie star would actually look that fantastic in person standing in an elevator.

[TopazBiscuit]

Meg Tilly looked so pretty in that dress. If you pause the video at 1:01 you can see her sitting down.

The Members of the Academy were complete idiotic ding-bats that year. Meg Tilly should have won. Anjelica Huston was good, but not as good as Meg Tilly was. Anjelica should have won for "The Grifters".

[vegasbaby92]

@TopazBiscuit - I agree that Anjelica was great in "The Grifters" but, that was the year Kathy Bates won. Anjelica was great in the Grifters, but not better than Kathy Bates in "Misery"

[TopazBiscuit]

@vegasbaby92 Yeah she was intense in "Misery". I guess maybe they should have made this win a tie with Anjelica Huston and Meg Tilly also. How come the Oscars never do tie wins??

[backto1960]

If the Oscars were all about "acting" then Oprah should have won this award. Her performance as hefty Sofia is one of the most powerful and memorable performances of this era.

[NJNupe1911]

@backto1960

THANK YOU. This "win" happened back when alot of the "old Hollywood" (old white men) were members of the Academy. She won this award due to her FATHER and who he was.

[kieferslover1949]

@backto1960 I was thinking the same thing...Someone from the Color Purple should have won.

[TopazBiscuit]

Meg Tilly was so PRETTY in "Agnes of God". She should have gotten the oscar, especially that last scene in the movie where she picks up the dove and then it fly's gracefully out of her hands. How can you not resist that last scene!

Anjelica Huston's character on the other hand was MANLY, BRATTY, had no HONOR and acted like she was better than everyone else.

[TopazBiscuit]

It clearly is Favoritism also. They probably gave it to Anjelica because they loved her Father. They should have given the Oscar to the actress who worked hard for their careers and went by themselves instead of giving it to the actress who had all the help they needed and didn't have to work much except for their performance. In my opinion they shouldn't have given it to Anjelica Huston, her nomination was more than enough praise.

[Alfito83]

Anjelica probably would have also gotten an Oscar nomination for "The Witches" if she would not have been nominated for "The Grifters" in the same year.

[Messylin]

For the record, Marlon Brando said Anjelica in Prizzi was one of his favorite comedic performances of all time.

[mensahcarrelle]

Angelica is a fantastic actress but Meg Tilly was robbed big time !

[ChefTonyII]

...is that Linda Lovelace.?? the presenter..?

[lundholmproduction]

i cried when Anjelica got ht oscar she´s one of my favorite actresses of all times

[BitchErica1]

good she won, especially over overrated oprah

[MsSarjen]

@BitchErica1 Well, you can say what you like about Oprah as a tv show hostess, but the way she portrayed Sofia in the Color Purple was mindblowing. If that film proves anything, it's that Oprah should have continued acting.

All respect to Anjelica though, she's a wonderfull actress whom I love deeply. But this Oscar, in my opinion, belongs to Oprah.

[BammityMarga484]

OMG Richard Dreyfuss has hair in this clip....

[Natuniaful]

she was very nervouse that night, i guess. xD

[fireandrain22]

BEUTIFUL WOMAN...

[terencewoelke]

Anjelica is SO Beautiful!

[deanriam]

Urgh, I hate people who criticize speeches, don't you have anything better to bitch about? Besides, I'm pretty sure Anjelica Huston didn't go that night thinking she had the award in the bag.

[SexyLiLLeilaniMya]

She looks horrible she has always looked manly to me!

[GreatBigRiver]

00:20 - her face is like "let's just get this over with.."

[karadiberlino]

Lame speech...and a terrible dress with that squeezed tit, looks ridiculous...

[carligo]

I really liked Anjelica in "Prizzi's Honor"...but Margaret Avery has my win ! She was PHENOMENAL in "The Color Purple"!

[daddyfatsaxohten]

@carligo goddamn Americans... the words are spelled COLOUR and HONOUR. I don't care where it is you're writing from, its just laziness. Anjelica is wonderful though, deserved the win in my book

[gingerbreadcorpses]

@carligo Agreed! I'm glad someone else thinks so. Although I haven't seen Prizzi's Honor so I guess I can't really say for sure.

[beatsofsoultrain]

she's so fierce charismatic and talented! adore her

[carlosdreamlover]

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MsEverMe]

she looks amazing in that green dress!!!

you deserve this oscar, anjelica!

<3

[eezysqueezy]

I hate the bitch, but Oprah was robbed here.

[Roberthenryii]

I i bet your gonna say precious gets robbed at tommorows oscar to. but i think you just root for the fat black actresses

[LaTigraVioleta]

@Roberthenryii No need to be disrespectful and the oscars were always based on talent just beacuse Anjelica's father was part of Old Hollywood doesnt mean that was the reason why she won. I dont know why people always say those things when stars have relatives in Holloywood how ignorant

[NJNupe1911]

@Roberthenryii

JUST LIKE WE ROOT FOR FAT WHITE MOTHER.

[Isabella8466]

I was so pleased she won. Prizzi's Honor is a delicious satire, and Huston's performance was terrific.

[jkfromcincty]

Huston's performance is terrific and she is one of the most deserving actresses ever to win in this Oscar category.

[Dmca93]

I always forget that Oprah is an Oscar nominee...I wonder if she will ever start acting seriously again.

[EmoDeathStar121]

I love Angelica with a Pashion lol she awalys seam to play Dark gothic people lol in Prizzis Honor she wanted to kill people lol

[kimbasingersucksdick]

Anjelica Huston looks like a mean bitch

[jkfromcincty]

She is one of the most deserving Supporting Actress Oscar winners, ever.

[alpe1987]

i will say this, if oprah won she would never be the most important woman of all media so as much as we all wanted her to win, i think this was something saying better and greater things to come to oprah.

[jkfromcincty]

This is one of the most deserving supporting Oscars ever awarded.

[galladrink]

hi all, anyone knows how the song is called that place when Angelica up to receive their prize, this very cool, thank you very much, if anyone knows I thank you very much, greetings brothers. good luck.

[Empathywriter]

@galladrink the song that plays when anyone wins an Oscar comes from the theme song of that movie.

[cyrecelestine]

BULLSHIT!

[choppingbokchoy]

she looks like such an evil, witch like character!

[TheOscarFiles]

None of these women really even deserved nominations.

Wow this was a weak year. But giving the Oscar to Huston? Come on!

[YoungFrankenstein]

Excuse me!? Have you seen Color Purple??? Oprah deserved the Oscar that year. Her performance was incredible.

[galladrink]

as it is called the songs that appear when you receive the

Angel Award, if somebody knows please write the

their name, thank you very much regards, Angelica is very

I adore beautiful.

[ojcorn89]

I like the dress on Angelica Houston very styilish. She is my favorate actress! I also liked her portryal in ( The Witches). But i think those awards would've gone out to the color purple 11 nominations and not one win soo sad! It was very political back then in the 80's. If this movie had been made around this past decade of course that movie would take home awards!!

[NJNupe1911]

Yes, I agree the Oscars were ALOT more political then. Angelica's dad was apart of the "old" Hollywood regime! WHAT A JOKE. Thank God they finally give awards based on talent, which is shown in their recent choices!

[richardywuk]

Why did Anjelica Huston go back to her seat after her speech? A bit odd - she should have gone off stage with the others x

[oddradish]

NERVES!

[Cinematicbrilliance]

She has the same strong facial features as her father.

[thejonesism]

margaret avery deserved the oscar over oprah and anjelica...

[mmklds13]

You could tell Oprah was like: "Wtf is that bitch doing with my oscar?" And it's so true! Oprah, Whoopi, and Stephen Spielberg deserved those awards, I mean come on 11 nominations and not one win?! Ugh, such a dissapointment on the Oscar's behalf.

[TopazBiscuit]

I agree.

Even though it didn't win any of it's nominations, it should have atleast won for BEST PICTURE. And I feel like the only reason why Anjelica Huston won was because of her FATHER and that POLITICS TOOK OVER because of that! In my opinion, Meg Tilly or Oprah Winfrey would have been the right choices for best supporting actress.

[NJNupe1911]

X2 I totally agree with you! I'm so glad that the "old Hollywood" regime, Vincent Minelli, John Huston, etc..are dead and alot of those Oscar politics are gone with them.

[NJNupe1911]

I totally agree what a sham. And it does go down as one of the biggest upsets in Oscar history. 11 noms, no wins. And Angelica only won because of who her dad was.

[theHobbes2]

did she and jack win in the same year?

[ooks]

margaret avery was fucking GORGEOUS

[Sepir29]

I think yes Anjelica Houston is great. And also I like her a lot. But in that year Colour of Purple should have won all oscars. The movie was just amazing. I say yes Anjelica deserve a oscar. But, wait Oprah Winfrey was nominated for an oscar wow

[craziemeeh]

.,i love anjelica!!!...=)

[pinkkat97]

she is going to be in a movie its called long time gone thats all I know right now but theres more coming :)

[DollyLoverForever]

A VERY worthy winner! God, she was so beautiful - and still is :)

WOAH that blonde woman's hair is craaaaazy haha, guess that's the 80's for ya lol

[OnlytrueDiva]

You´re so right. She is unbelievable beautiful!!! I guess we have the same taste in many things^^

[ayzax14]

Anjelica Huston is super gorgeous. One of the most elegant women ever!

[Josetion]

L'ho conosciuta nella trasmissione "Medium" bella attriceeee ^_^

[TwisterVision5]

One of the worst wins ever.

Absolutley nothing Oscar worthy.

[TMTGeneralDeath]

go fuck yourself

[craziemeeh]

.,why dont you fuck yourself you filty animal!!!

[babeecznik]

I remember her as Great Witch in "the Witches" she was amazing villain

[gamesport88]

@babeecznik

Yup, one of my favorite villains of all time.

You know, Roald Dahl personally picked her to play the Grand High Witch?

[thebohemianlover]

anjelica huston is alright by me. If you can keep jack nicholson occupied for that long, you must have something going for you.

[honggiangvogia]

I don't understand why they showed Jack Nicholson instead of John Huston when Anjelica mentioned him in her speech.

[GETOSUPASTAR]

cause he wasn't there... and jack was who she was fuckin @ the time....

[zim83]

He was there, he presented the Best Picture award.

[lundholmproduction]

she´s very good actress with a presents that move you every time

[hayoajojing]

OMG! Oprah 2 decade younger! Hahahaha!

N btw, I love Anjelica's hairdo...

[noahsarcooo]

Anjelica

is sooooooooooooooooo lady

[deanriam]

Oprah should've won? LOL, somehow I feel that if Oprah was a has-been with The Color Purple as her only significant piece of work, nobody would say that.

Anjelica Huston and Meg Tilly were the only ones in the running for it.

[NJNupe1911]

Yup, and that's why SO MANY PEOPLE STILL TALK ABOUT THE "COLOR PURPLE" (which was on TV tonight by the way), AND NO ONE EVEN TALKS ABOUT, LET ALONE SHOWS PRIZZIS HONOR ON TV! LMAO!!!

[TIPTON340]

Oprah didn't need the oscar she had her show and all the money in the world...

she didn't even did a man.

[kingcaesar5]

i just saw PH the other day, she was phenominal.

[filipecastano]

0:19, Wow, she was tense!
