Jodie Foster winning an Oscar® for "Silence of the Lambs"

[jan63019]

I LIKE HER GLOVES

[Starkardur]

2 best actress oscars in 3 years before the age of 30. NOT BAD.

[Starkardur]

Back when red carpet mattered less and art meant more.

[TheRectangularVerb]

@Starkardur ...back when less shit and more legit stuff was produced.

[quillber]

i sooo wish Richard Gere was naked when they cut to him :o/

[freebird4481]

"Hi I'm Jodie Foshhhhhhhter."

[MisterXploit]

someone needs to use the tick shampoo on richard gere

[bowler8]

Wonder why she didn't come back for the sequel?

[Caleb9849]

@bowler8 Dunno. In a way I'm glad she didn't, because I felt that Clarice seemed way different in Hannibal than in Silence (the character, not just the actress), and it would have thrown me off even more if it was the same actress playing the same character but acting like a different character, if that makes any sense. 'Course, I haven't watched in a while.

[LinknPrk1976]

@Caleb9849

That's exactly why she didn't return for any sequel. The actions/personality of Clarice was drastically modified and Jodie refused to play her again stating the integrity of the character had been overly compromised. Clarice was nothing like her strong willed, independent woman from the first movie.

[MayChild8]

Oh! she is rubbin' that golden dude :D

[The7thFantasy]

Thanks! Here are some other videos you may like.

[cyclist421]

Mike and Carol? She knows the Brady's personally? Cool.

[roxy5588]

Cannot belive that Jodie won her Oscar in The Silence of the Lambs it was a brilliant performance loved it and now she is my favorite actress ever :)

[stickstr8up1]

WTF is Michael Douglas wearing???

[3eroO0]

I liked how she stroked the oscar.

[ajvox]

vai ser bonita assim lá na puta q pariu

[notdeadjustlazy]

I didn't no Jack Nicholson was a lesbian.

[ButtHaver1993]

Best actress of her generation. :)

[brightlights456X]

@ButtHaver1993

Whats her generation? She still acts?

[FongioHELS]

gahhh she is so beautiful and has such a soothing voice (yeah i know it's low but so lovely!!)

[jckfmsincty]

If Jodie Foster has two Oscars, why does Meryl Streep only have two Oscars?

[Tigerlily21]

@jckfmsincty Because they are both great actresses and people win Oscars if their individual performance stands out in an individual year.

[bombass2000]

@jckfmsincty Meryl has been nominated a record-breaking 16 times and won twice. In contrast, Jodie has been nominated twice and just so happened to win both times. They are both extraordinary actresses but Meryl has been around a long time and her her 2 wins were only 3 years apart. She hasn't won an Oscar since "Sophie's Choice" in 1982. But as mentioned, she has been nominated several times and is usually seen as the greatest living actress of all time.

[Tigerlily21]

@bombass2000 Jodie has been nominated 4 times. She got her first nomination when she was just a kid. She's been around in the movie business longer than Meryl Streep. but Meryl Streep has played more great roles.

[dorothy2295]

richared gere hot hot

[SecretService80]

What the fuck is Michael Douglas talking about?

[seraphilm0]

@SecretService80 This is the most pretentious intro I've ever heard. And his outfit... good god.

[oscarlover100]

Who was Foster's close runnerup? I'd say, Sarandon, but still...

[duckwrangler]

A nice sincere speech ruined by her last line "Mike and Carol you won the bet - right on". gambing on the academy awards - what a shocker

[TheHARDRO1]

"CLARICE......"

[Em183]

hehe she is wearing a suit while everyone is dolled up but that is part of the reason I lover her here.

[dinaa593]

this is her second

[lilpotato20]

She has a pretty low voice!

[whuboi962011]

The title of this video rhymes.

[glaxglax]

I didn't see this movie until about a year ago, but I instantly fell in love with Jodie. There are much more beautiful actresses out there but she's so smart and talented, absolutely deserved this

[chsppdp]

OMG! I'd forgotten how pretty she was back then!

[marlboroman1985]

I know what happened to Max Headroom's old set.

[marinlabyrinth]

SHE DESERVED THE SHIT OUT OF THIS OSCAR

i'm ok now....

[setnosiva]

She's so so pretty, and smart.

Although I'm great fan of Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, Jodie totally deserved this one.

[YumikoYouku]

Who is that man at 1.46 ?

[tsotlfan]

@YumikoYouku Richard Gere

[XsammiechanX]

jodi foster is so hot in the 90's !!

[zZGhostieZz]

She makes me want to assassinate a president

[MrHaloman95]

@zZGhostieZz Well I guess John Hinckley Jr. wasn't stupid huh?...

[Meereeo]

@zZGhostieZz best comment ever.

[IStehSHIT]

this guy rly looks like lady

[TankMacnamara81]

then she made contact ...

[cityzen06]

@TankMacnamara81

Contact was made in 1997!

[TheBradcake]

PicAHso

[MRX31605]

jodie foster was sooooooooo fucking hot back then

[EleventhBlueEgyptian]

What he says comes down to simple 'hey, all this stuff isn't worth shi*e, no matter who's gonna win after all'. I'm curious if he said this deliberately or just came up with it accidentally. Either way I would love to see faces of the bastards in the audience hearing that ;]

As to Jodie... Well, I'm happy for her to have won, she's simply great and...damn she's got a really low voice o_O

[mjtvalfather]

God, what a ramble.....it's for women, it's for feminists...it's for women.....can't people like her (admitedly very talented) just say "thank you" without being so damn political?

[Tigerlily21]

@mjtvalfather It was an eloquent speech and statement. It's her time she can use it to say something meaningful besides thank you. Atleast she wasn't rambling incoherently like so many winners.

[edgeworth1801]

@mjtvalfather It's because of people like you that "people like her" feel the need to be active in their ethics; but it's also rather odd that you're not realizing that as actors, they're artists, and art has always been intimately connected with its contemporary socio-political issues. Chances are an actor who makes a film without being self-reflexive about what sort of questions and concerns the film is trying to raise doesn't understand his/her character or the craft itself.

[ToCelebrateWomen]

Great year, great winner. 

[Titleist1818]

You know how they sometimes say silence is deafening? The first few seconds after Michael Douglas says "yogurt" is an example.

[tpabaygarstud]

why did Michael Douglas mispronounce Susan Sarandon's last name? What an idiot

[moonspinner55]

an incredibly sincere, smart speech full of heart.

[vaskylark]

OMG readinig the biggotted,superficial and ignorant reviews here about lesbians and morality make me wonder what rock these people have been hiding under for years. Jodi was always tomboyish and I respect her wanting to keep her personal life private. I don't give a crap who somebody sleeps with and I have to wonder why the morons posting here care. Does it really matter who we love? Like...at all? She's a brilliant actress and that is what the Oscars are about.

[IlluminatiPornArcade]

Is Michael Doulgas autistic?

[leafyutube]

Look how awesome my Jodie looked back then.

[koln1996]

Susan Sarandon deserved it!!!

[dundee12]

for a lesbian she's stroking that Oscar with much expertise...

[bbaggins1298]

Will Mr. Douglas just be quiet and give out the award? I thought the recipient was supposed to give a speech!

[Rudy61287]

@bbaggins1298 I thought what he said was lovely. I wish awards ceremonies still had lovely sentiments like the one he expressed here (which was clearly written for him).

[HottestCoupleEver]

My girl. She can act her a-- off.

[GTCism]

Hints of her possibly being a lesbian shone through there at the end "feminist hero", rather than female hero. Truly a shame if she is indeed a lesbian, to much of that sinful behavior in the world today.

[Doom2012Today]

I wanna see the Michael Cimino best director Oscar!

[colindominy]

FGS .. get on with it Douglas !!

[Starkardur]

Both Jodie and Geena won oscar 3 years before.

[MrLaqcjrelkin]

Damn...! Jodie is so hot...!



[MichaelChapman18]

Please post Johnathan Demme winning Best Director...

[jenniferkeishing]

Why does Michael Douglas always talk so much?

[sumireigarashij]

@jenniferkeishing Maybe he likes to talk so much.

[starwars404]

@jenniferkeishing He like's to hear himself? That's probably why he talked forever.

[5eurocups2005]

She Beautiful 

[1131982vincent]

Why The world we live in now just can't make good movie anymore?

[MrPrincebinondo]

Jodie Fosters' performace in NELL (1995) is the best among others.

[MichaelChapman18]

Jodie was hot in the '90s and the female equivalent of Jack Nicholson.

[locotaco10]

@MichaelChapman18 She could still be hot if she wanted to, but she tries to be too manly

[FilipH86]

anyone else notice that she keeps stroking the mid section of the oscar

[macbeth870]

Jodie Foster is one of the coolest people alive.

[bleachbred]

I loved that movie!

[QueVidaEs]

My favorite actress with Meg Ryan

And 'fantastic !

[CroPETROforever]

I heard she is lesbian :P

[TigerCrazy73]

I think Jodie deserved the win but 2nd place to her was definately Susan Sarandon!! She was awesome in Thelma & Louise!!

[kchansen1366]

mike and carrol who?

[SKSelphie]

0:52 to skip Michael Douglas

[kieran1990able]

she is the beautiful actress of 1990s.

[MrMCD11]

@kieran1990able I wonder if she has a family of her own since I read from an article she personally doesn't like to talk about her sexual orientation to the media, but nevertheless she still is a brilliant actress...I also wonder how it would be like if she reprised her role as Clarice Starling in Hannibal?

[Troboughbo]

Please upload Johnathan Demme winning Best Director.

[jckfmsincty]

Foster clenches her jaw, purses her lips, arches an eyebrow and wins an Oscar.

[Tigerlily21]

@jckfmsincty She did much more than that. Did you see the showdown in Buffalo Bill's basement? The autopsy scene? So much emotion in her eyes playing a very quiet character. It's rare that the Academy goes for a great subtle performance and they did here.

[isocrate27]

@jckfmsincty it seems you did not understand the movie apparently.

[MundyArtStudio]

The role she played in 'Silence of the Lambs' really was a once in a lifetime role and she deserved to win the oscar and so did Anthony Hopkins.

[Henababe]

Omg she's adorable 

[drxwnedxwxrld]

@High5Brah Actually, I don't even know why Hopkins was nominated for BEST ACTOR instead of Supporting Actor -- although he gave a masterful performance no doubt. The film, is actually revolved around sexism and how Foster's character is affected by it (for example, the villain treats his victims like objects, Clarice Starling is used as bait by her boss or whatever, etc..).. Clarice is CLEARLY the main character of the film. DUH

[TheProducerPeople]

@drxwnedxwxrld And he only had 16 minutes of screen-time.

[stevenscollege]

Wow Jodie beats Meryl to Two Best Actress Oscars who`d have it.

[philipc67]

Three actresses won 2 Academy awards before their 30th birthday, Louise Rainer, Jodie Foster and Hillary Swank.

[azerty12321]

@philipc67 you men for that category ?

[The3rdHiltonSister]

Gay icon. I love her.

[TheyreRedHot94]

she deserves an Oscar for every movie she made.

[Tigerlily21]

@High5Brah Wrong. If you think she was "just riding the Hopkins train" watch her in that whole basement sequence as she's going after Buffalo Bill. Some of the best acting ever. Never has fear been portrayed better. Don't underestimate what she brought to the film just because Hopkins got the flashier character. Foster had to play a character that internalized everything and still be compelling. That's more difficult. She carried the movie.

[robrichpo]

@Tigerlily21 hear! hear!

[rtmeador]

WTF is michael douglas talking about?

[fredfinks]

@rtmeador

He's basically saying its a hard to pick a winner. All the nominated gave great performances.

[CyeOutsider]

@rtmeador - he's talking about how there are no objective standards by which we can (or should) judge art. Its easier with athletics because you can time a race, measure a jump, etc. There are objective standards there that allow you to say one person is better than the other. But art is like food - judging what is good and bad is subjective.

[jad1025]

@rtmeador it totally makes sense.

[WillGotti]

@rtmeador Lol. He was trying too hard to make analogies. But yea wtf.

[hottdylan1993]

Geena Davis is so sexy.

[MikamiPro]

Loved Jodie Foster since Bugsy Malone.

[Jaskelful]

Three strikes, you're out Michael Douglas.

1. Bad joke delivery and timing.

2. Susan Sa-ran-don, as in Saran wrap. Not hard.

3. Go stage left like you were told, don't have the pretty nameless girl drag you from going stage right, that's Jodie's space.

[remarlle131joshua]

圧巻貫禄の受賞ですね

おめでとうジョディフォスター

羊たちの沈黙のあなたの鬼気迫る演技素晴らしかったです



[gaykid80]

Michael Douglas saying Susan SA-randon??? I've always thought it was pronounced Susan sa-RAN-don...

[Lindzsanity]

"Susan sar-an-dun" ...really? XD

[MrCindek]

jodie foster is so charming!!! i like her a lot... i mean..

oh no i don't know what to say...

my mom and ms. foster has the same age bracket... but i love her

congratulations... you really deserve it

[MachineintheSky]

Michael Douglas totally failed with the beef Wellington joke. No one laughed. And he even paused, waiting for them to laugh.

[ShortySOM]

Love her speech!!!!!!!! So genuine, smart and grateful

[DrTorture28]

I'd be so nervous!

[iBlackphone]

@DrTorture28 same here lol

[ShortySOM]

BRAVO!!! One of my favorite all-time actresses. Truly a Hollywood legend. This performance by Jodie was no doubt worthy.... she encompassed the power of the character soo beautifully. I think that role was much harder than a lot of people think. Portraying a STRONG female character at a time where these roles where not as easy to comeby. She essentially was the make or break factor of the movie. If her performance would've stunk, then the movie would've stunk.

[rohansrider]

The trouble is she read the script and did not want to reprise the role for Hannibal. There was clearly something in the narrative that did not inspire or maybe, just maybe she wanted to move on.

[lovelylizzie333]

@rohansrider Rumour is there was much in the script that she didn't agree with. She didn't think that Clarice would do half the things that occured in the sequel.

For example, the original script had Clarice and Lecter running away together at the end and she didn't agree with that at all.

[ZeeZtheGr8]

her voice is shaking...

[HannahVampire]

I love how both Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster were both announced 3rd in order , and they won. <3 I love them both so very much!

[brandon91616]

An Oscar well deserved.

[nauris706]

what happened to hollywood????there are no big stars now

[DickieAnginson]

@nauris706 I totally agree. Jodie Foster is one of a kind, truly a classy and gifted actress. The legends of the Hollywood have nearly all passed away. I don't think Hollywood will ever have the caliber of stars it did in the 1940s-70s. Back in the old days, performers had to sing, dance and act in order to compete and get hired. Nowadays, all "actors" have to do is take their tops off, men included! (Taylor Lautner anyone?)

[Grapefruitossy1203]

Hostess girl shows the way to Michael at 1:54 :)))

[TheyreRedHot94]

I know this speech by heart.

Thank you, Jodie.

[traxlife]

I love her !

[navieedful]

jodie foster did a great role in the movie but if you compare her work with anthony hopkins then I will have to say Hopkins wins unquestionably!!! FACT!

[Tigerlily21]

@navieedful Not a fact. That's an opinion. I like Foster's performance better actually. Hopkins just had the flashier character and was great, but Foster's performance had some real depth to it. You could see the fear behind her eyes. Together they were magic.

[HarryIsTheGamingGeek]

So, Jodie's acting skills, are, for lack of a better word: Good.

[thelupoistheman1]

Jodie deserved the Oscar so much. She was a legend in that film.

[thelupoistheman1]

Jodie tryly freaking deserved it. She and Anthony were legendary in this film..

[zombiemaz]

DAMN I LOVE ALL THOSE WOMEN LOL...JODIE FOSTER IS BEST THOUGH...her emotion she has goes on for days...I think the one thing she had over julianne moore and other women acting is that she actually had something traumatize her...I don't know for sure, but you can just see the depth in her eyes during her performance. Like a little puppy, but yet strong, powerful, and intelligent.

[fergiefanforever]

No, I think Thelma & Louise were good, great actually, but seriously, no one could've ever beaten Jodie's performance in The Silence Of The Lambs...

[partygirl209]

she totally deserved it!!

[celinetakingchances]

Barbra Streisand should have been nominated and won for Prince of Tides

[fatizoo1000]

louise susa surandon

[audgess]

I wish jodie foster was rubbing my oscar

[UniversalMinded]

@audgess LOL yeah we all do

[diditdieify]

Thelma and Louise disliked this video.

[Mullmill]

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest Won the major oscars too MrRDR911

[ToFinishFirst]

I wish I could bone her

[europa3805]

I love that "quid pro quo" inclusion in the speech! Very clever! :)

[MrRDR911]

The Silence of the Lambs is the best moive ever. Can you name another moive that won best actor,actress,and picture.

[AmericanGraffiti1962]

@MrRDR911 it happened one night and one flew over the cuckoos nest

[hollywoodqt]

@MrRDR911

one flew over the cuckoo's nest did with jack nicholson and louise fletcher, just sayingg

[ShortySOM]

@MrRDR911 Actually SotL won the BIG FIVE (one of the few to do so); Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Actress. I think only one or two other movies have ever done that.

[musicaltheatergeek79]

@ShortySOM the other two to have done that -- that is win Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Director -- are IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT and ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST.

[pixarian]

two of the most fearless portrayals ever put on screen together (Foster/Hopkins).

[MadHaTTe1992]

You know the orchestra has to be really grateful to Silence of the Lambs, they had to play the same song four times in a row lol

[TheProducerPeople]

@MadHaTTe1992 And just as an extra kick in the balls they had to play it a 5th time.

[lvivboi]

Ouch Mikey, ouch.

[niklemons]

pants and gloves, no no ...

[MultipleScrotum]

@niklemons wrong, it lookos awesome.

[david1550123]

Well deserved :) Nice movie :)

[chandal09]

What a woman and actress! I love her. She has so many qualities; she's intelligent, serious, beautiful, classy, professional, down-to-earth, so different from some vulgar exhibitionists and talentless "actresses" around . I wish I could meet her one day, she's my role model!

[marianware]

I admire this woman SO much.

[Messylin]

Forget Foster and Hopkins, Ted Levine is the one whose performances stands the test of time - although many people will never admit it, since the character is hardly one they aspire to be.

[SuckMyFarts]

@Messylin who's ted levine?

[WhatIfFloydWasPink]

@SuckMyFarts Buffalo Bill
