Very good choice of material, if he had roasted the American Comedy Awards it would have diminished his own talent and come off as an ungrateful and contemptuous.
when you see denzel or will smith or de niro etc. portray someone and bring to life a character, and bring to life something scripted. that is genius... what GOOD actors do, they take an audience that knows that this is a movie, meaning its fake, and they captivate attention for two hours, making the viewers forget that what they are viewing is fake... great talents. IMO.
nobody really think that actors are talentless..I think Jerry is just trying to make a point that maybe we do think too highly of them..just because they can act well
i didnt say it wasnt talent, the point of the discussion is genius, which they arent(except maybe daniel day lewis). quite the contrary, actually, if anyone should be labled genius in show biz its the writers.
actors are shiney objects mellow minded people cling to.
i agree, greatest acceptance speech ever, mad respect to jerry for this, it made me see him differently, he's one of the few ppl in the mainstream that has the balls to tell it like it is

its still talent.... it doesn't have to be virtuous.
being able to shoot a ball is not a great talent in some peoples opinion... so yea, in this case it's not a great talent... you win.

Actors get all this credit when the real people that deserve it are the engineers and researchers of any field that make the world work and evolve.
