Jack Nicholson the Accepts AFI Life Achievement Award in 1994

[MrGangstNerd]

he's reminds me of wolverine

[zarco1977]

Who doesnt love this guy!?

[ugleeamerican]

Its amazing, everyone who knows Jack loves him. As they show the leading ladies from his films spanning 4 decades----you can see them sitting, heads foward, eyes glinting with tears, attention rapt, waiting to hear the words he is about to say.

[liverpoooley]

what's the thing he said about budhaist ? praying to them ? is he a pudhaist ?

[antikoerper256]

Good ol' 90s - this video reminds me of so much things, a load of good things in the past, which will never come back.

[NataliaWeronikaD]

I can't wait to see MacLaine's AFI

[Tigerlily21]

I love whenever they cut to Kurt and Goldie at award ceremonies. Much better than the constant Brad and Angelina cuts at award shows these days.

[EdwardCullenBabe95]

@RichardElden I fucking hope your whole family gets cancer.

[ExistentialSmoker20]

I 'm watching this clip every once in a while so that I keep dreaming and hoping and believing that I may someday become an actor, a successful one, like Jack. I will probably won't be an actor at all but at least I will be able to say that I had the best idols to be inspired by, like Jack, Al, and Marlon. I feel lucky for the time I've spend losing (and finding) myself into the stories that these great actors have told us through their work. Cinema should never die.

[NYJ4CK]

@RichardElden hey here's a more important question? what are you getting out of coming on a page of a person you don't like and saying some obviously controversial remarks? Do you want people to realize that ummm he's overrated or not as talented as the mass claims him to be? Obviously the mass have come to accept him as a legend and love his work.So therefore you won't change no ones opinion. So you came to vent some frustration? oh no one will care. So you wasting peoples time? i think so

[motogpracebikes]

theGonzoArt...(another brain surgeon)..look at any of the girls he was with who knows him really well behind the scenes. he's not acting there, thats jack in the 'real'.....and life times don't come because you were a great 'joker'........

[deltamima]

So cute =* I´m happy for you Jack :) You´re big talent

[TheGonzoArt]

@RichardElden You're a just a dumb ass punk kid, with no respect for professional actors who had professional training at The Lee Strasberg Method Acting School. I suppose he played the Joker the same way he played Jake Gittes, and played Jimmy Hoffa the same way he played Jack Torrance. And call him whatever you want, but Jack Nicholson has had more sex and more women than you ever will, ya little impudent fuck!

[SWizz871]

Michael Douglas is a great actor and producer. Cukoos Nest and Wall Street. Jewel of the Nile, The Game great movies. Jack Nicholson Batman, The Departed, The Bucket List, Cukoo's Nest, The Shining the list goes on. None of you know anything!

[TheGonzoArt]

@RichardElden FUCK YOU, he plays a cowboy, a sailor, a criminal, a detective, a con man, a gangster, and romantic leading males. You don't know shit, DICK!

[StraightEdgeStunner]

@RichardElden I hope someone in your family gets cancer so you can think about what you just said. Honestly people like you disgust me. Grow up or better yet, go die in a fucking hole. It's quicker.

[StraightEdgeStunner]

@RichardElden Are you 12 fucking years old? That' a joke right?

[ihatejamesbp]

Best a tor of

[plaidslacks]

Jack Nicholson is over-rated!



[Haimfan]

@plaidslacks I disagree he's brilliant in " One flew over the cuckoos nest " if you haven't seen it , it's worth a watch it might change your opinion of him .

[InnocuosBystander]

Mr. Majestic

[Poeterish]

You ain't seen nothing yet..

I'll take this as my motto :)

[Tilaktiwari93]

This man is surrounded by gorgeous women. Look at his table! :]

[nyran125]

so sick of the ads on you tube now

[olivetribe]

he is professional and thats all he is!!

[ellicatoncsi]

SAY WHAT YOU WILL BUT I THINK THIS MAN HAS A TREMENDOUS RESPECT FOR WOMEN > DO YOU SEE THE LOOK OF RESPECT ON THEIR FACES. WE ALL LOVE him, HE IS BREAKING UP, NEARLY IN TEARS.YOU WERE AND STILL ARE JACK WE AINT SEEN NOTHING YET.

[justbreatheify]

damn goldie hawn is gorgeous!

[bowler8]

You've just gotta love Jack

[curlyyyyyyyy]

6 ppl don't have the notion of Cool. i mean what the fuck

[kittyburger000]

The man kills... with his smile :P

[OralAgreement69]

people crying, like this is some important event. kind of self indulgent and ridiculous...awards shows.. i mean

[5tatQuo]

@OralAgreement69 When you've been in the film industry as long as an actor like Jack Nicholson, when you've given of yourself as long as he has for those who go to watch his movies, when you've traveled down that long road and find yourself surrounded by friends and family honoring all your achievements and praising you all while you simply sit there and say "Get over it" then you can come back here and talk shit from behind your computer.

[ud2hb4]

he said Nick Jackelson

[MegaHipHop007]

What a legend, I would do anything to even speak like he does, Jack makes current actors look like complete amateurs!

[anneso578]

I agree Jack nicholson is one of the best but I don't understand why Robert deNiro have his AFi 20 years later

[Ohhaloo]

@anneso578

I guess it's just a coincidence or something

[sajlovesam]

@anneso578 you mean 10 years? why don you ask about Clint?

[anneso578]

@sajlovesam Yes I wonder how they choose, Tom Hanks was young when he had his ceremony (but he deserved it)

yes 10 years ^^

[abenson20001994]

Jack Nicholson is the best of the best. The greatest actor in history.

[lalman1337]

one of the best player ever

[yared94]

lol i thought when he said "I gotta b-e friends with them" i thought he was gonna say "bang"

[sajlovesam]

@yared94 he is classy dude! he sure did bang them but you never kiss and tell. that's the comedian's job.

[NataliaWeronikaD]

oh god, i cried. i just love that man.

[Mr001alpa]

many beautiful women in there

[slappkar]

He forgot his medal hahaha

[simonsteam]

True genius and master of acting. but is it me or can u see from how he talks. moves. his eyes etc. that no wonder hes such a hit with the ladies. he oozes sex appeal. lucky sod lol.

[oOGrabbenOo]

HERE'S JOHNNY!

[r0ckIsReligion]

is he really crying... or is he acting? with his talent nobody will ever know..

[dutchpot2]

JACK IS THE MAN!

[lialammas]

How beautiful of him to acknowledge the women in his life besides being his acting partners. Jack he really makes us feel special because the first thing he looks in you is to simple meet the real "you".

at 4:30 .... really special ......

[dumbtardface]

love jack, but that fucker choked

[chaconauta]

Jack probably got laid soooo much after that night

[razorpayne13]

this is the coolest man in the world...long live JN

[BsilverMbulletW]

What an actor... Wow

[fjbutch]

That was a nice clip....very humble fella...

[MEP4000]

5 people wouldn't know cool if it bite them in the azz!

[nashnwo1234]

@MEP4000 neither would you, making a tired comment like this.

[jackblacksutube]

"you aint seen nothin yet"

[contact1araya]

6:49 do you think the crying was just a punch line for that falling in love with himself joke? My god Goldie Hawn's Mascara is all runny and shit!

[contact1araya]

Why do people say he has done every drug known to manking? He doesnt look it?

Is there any any story of drug possession or overdose?

[TacomaPaul]

Jack is one of "last" greatest. Are there ANY actors under 50 that have "class" ?

I don't think so.... hopefully I'm wrong... but let's just say... could you put Tom Cruise in a "Jack" category ????

[TheunstopableDouche]

@TacomaPaul Thats very true

[mgbuk]

How good is it to see a guy stand up and say thanks to everyone with such a bunch of ad lib and the "it's dangerous, you give your life to it" line is a great one

[WalterLiddy]

Wow never seen him choked up. And Goldie crying... amazing.

[WalterLiddy]

Wow never seen him choked up.

[Bak3dB3an]

who are the 'trustees' in AFI?

[beremi6]

"you ain't see nothing yet" ... brilliant ....winning

[no1sexgodforever]

lol his 'sister' or his mother at 2:56

[anitsirhceener]

winning

[tuxguys]

Since Bogart, who has been as cool as Jack?

NOBODY.

Watch all of the 15 or so clips from this, and Jack's reaction shots, alone, are worth the price of admission.

"You ain't seen nothin' yet!"

[MalnourishedGoat]

@tuxguys Cagney was ten times cooler than Bogart.

[tuxguys]

@MalnourishedGoat

Matter of opinion.  Cagney was volatile... "Cool" is never volatile.

[MalnourishedGoat]

@tuxguys Cagney was only volatile in a few flicks, most notably The Public Enemy and White Heat. Most of the time though, he was cocksure and cool as a cucumber. I prefer him to Bogart because, like Jack, he's loaded with personality. Jack isn't exactly laid back in the Shining, or when he's screaming "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!" But it's that intensity that makes his characters compelling. True, it all comes down to opinion. But Bogey roles always seemed like they could be played by any shlub

[tuxguys]

@MalnourishedGoat

May I quote you?

[stevedrums]

Not drunk? Wouldn't know it.



[yazmatraz]

Charlie Sheen should win this.....after all, he's WINNING AT LIFE...oh haha I do crack myself up...

[ChaseK4Eva]

Love him!!! Deserves every bit of it:) phenomenal actor

[GSMOUSA]

it's so strange how someone may try to be someone else on stage, Jack chose to be himself, and look what a beautiful thing that was, it's very simple, just allow things inside to go out...

[Da666ManIsBak]

Nurse Ratched Has 5 Youtube Accounts...

[joe10is]

I have 1 word to say: JACK

[shirgen6]

The 'Chinatown' score when he was walking up was perfect.

[prismflash]

ONLY REAL MAN CRY, i mean look at Jack Nicholson ~!!!

[FOXHOUND1707]

he should have gotten an extra AFI lifetime award for all his great work since 1994

[1woodnut]

Did he call Jack Nick? What do you think his last name is. GET A CLUE!

[ThingsThatVexMe]

"You ain't seen nothin' yet!"

[arthuronfacebook]

Did he call Jack "Nick"?

[SmackNcrack01]

@arthuronfacebook as in NICholson

[0zzy07]

he is the best actor alive man.

[TomJonesKarhunen]

Oh, wait ....... did I mention Maureen O'Sullivan? Can't leave her out.

[MrDouchebagtv]

@TomJonesKarhunen umm too bad no1 fucking cares

[tonymontana191000]

the joker

[buffett1000]

Complete legend. Love him. When he's gone, Hollywood may as well shit its doors.

[Piccolo621]

@buffett1000 Sounds painful :P

[jutubaeh]

another foreign institution!

[hunter40447]

life aint going to be the same when hes gone

[manubanu]

hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahhahah He forgot his award, what an I D I O T !

[yahoopl3]

@manubanu wow, you couldn't possibly be gayer

[manubanu]

@yahoopl3 That's about as gay as I could make an effort for.

[LvnAction]

Thanks to AFI and thanks to Jack. I love you.

[Harrygton]

Yeah! He is a living legend... nothing wrong with paying tribute to him when half of Jack is more than a whole of some! IMO, he's intensely cool!

[VickiT89]

Doesn't look like Anjelica Huston attended. Shame, really.

I love Jack! He is beyond cool =)

[tvaholic]

This man is fucking amazing. There are few men who make tearing up look sexy.

[AntiEverything00]

What brave man has the balls to date Jack's daughter ? it could be your last date you know what I mean

[1Kraxmaskin]

Could? What about should.

[funkiersnoog]

It really doesn't matter if this was too soon for Jack to get this award. If he hadn't gotten then, he'd have it by now anyway. It was just a matter of time.

[SalvatoreT22]

@funkiersnoog I know your right, but I think the actors feel old when they receive it at a young age thats why he said you aint seen nothing yet

and he delivered as promised. he is the greatest no doubt.

[ballboy1012]

Jack Nicholson is hands down the coolest dude on the planet, still and that smile he delivers is priceless.

[freejaytea]

He's filled my life with 1000's of hours of good movie watching... damn right he deserves this awards a 1000 fold.

[spaceykc37]

the Independent Republic of Jack...has a nice ring :-)

[jam63112]

nobody get it twice

can someone write wha are last word of the speech (I'm french and he said it too fast for my understanding)

[Shakeitupyes]

@jam63112 last words were "All these things about age and time are uh.... You aint seen nothing yet"

[jam63112]

nobody get it twice

[VEGAxProductions]

Way to early to take this .. Scorsese, Eastwood, Spielberg, Pacino, De Niro .. etc, are more appropriate!..

[Roggiedodgie]

Wow!  That was cool

[xperia69]

Legend!

[GoddyofWar]

I'll take this moment to say his daughter Lorraine is HOT

[TheOresteia1992]

This is the closest I'll ever be to seeing Jack Nicholson cry...

[hughmccorry1]

LEGEND

Jack Nicholson is a brilliantly diverse actor, i love his movies, The Bucket List is one of my favourites at the moment

[majesticmaniac]

bing is not beautiful

[Y2Jericho161]

The voice of the man in the beggining was sooooo boring and I think he was trying to remember his lines.

[SrQueque]

@Y2Jericho161 what do you mean "man in the beginning"? That's Mike Nichols!

[Y2Jericho161]

@SrQueque I'm not from the US so I don't know every single celebrity there is, I was just pointing out that this Mike Nickols seemed boring to me.

[Zh0rik]

@Y2Jericho161 Well, he is not an actor. He is the director...

[lemmedasker]

very cool how he is so touched with the award. a side I havent seen from him before.

[xCANOCx]

you ain't seen nothing. o so true.

[majesticmaniac]

So her sister deserves a round of applause, just for being jacks sister....well then i deserve one for being his greatest fan...

[funkiersnoog]

This is one of the few times when a famous person has said, "You ain't seen nothing yet" and actually delivered on those words. A lot of Jack's best work came after this. Dude talked it then walked it. He's the man.

[alecmcgarry]

I love this speach. So emotional. And Goldie Hawn is just gorgeous.

[SRFCEiresno1]

how roght was he when he said you aint seen nothing yet

[Shmenman]

shit introduction

[FLL999]

Jack is a wonderful actor and, as we found out, is also very  human after all. He is blessed.

[Slayerplsko]

where does the music come from?

[samyooljackson]

@Slayerplsko The theme to the great film "Chinatown". I love that lonely trumpet!

[Slayerplsko]

@samyooljackson Oh yes, of course. It really was a great movie, by the great Polanski.

[jarred160788]

Indeed we hadn't seen nothing yet - he still had a third Oscar and another nomination after that and then three more Golden Globes and two further nominations to win.

[fahimh]

it's hard to talk about urself

[sebblunt]

greatest ever

[ComMANdeRSouR]

Jack is one classy mother fucker man.

[MakkaPakka666]

Coolest person walking this planet.

[Messylin]

I guess Meryl didn't sit with the other actresses because she was with her husband, and wanted to sit with him?

[KnightAlbert]

Oh, my God! Jack Napier is still alive!

[PaulWilliems]

that last line was epic

[guysadoreDawn]

yeah Mery rocks @ 7:54!

and luv that speech,too!!

[jaseyday]

Jack is a class act through and through...It will be a very sad day when he leaves us..

[ScarletSnake]

That's the warmest ice cube I've ever seen.

[HagSIN]

Why is the crowd so dead silent during Nichols' speech?

[RatSitnov]

@HagSIN Because they're listening with all attention

[400batman]

Jaaaaccccck, you're my number one.....guy!

[lenbenhear]

Maybe the best acceptance speech ever. EVER.

really.

[libertarianable]

they should salute michael caine next and have all the birds talk about him

[vinny56x]

wat 4 fucktards of the universe disliked this? oh thts right that wsas just an accident, thts wat i thought !

[22salvatoret]

Great speech but the award came way to premature.

We share the same b-day 4-22

[jlangston23]

@22salvatoret Way to premature? He had 10 oscar nominations and 2 oscar wins by the time of this award. If anything, it was overdue!

[SalvatoreT22]

@jlangston23 I think he is one of the greatest actors ever!!! I meant that they give it out to young. then he deserves it twice for all the work after this award. life time achievement. I dont know I think they should give it towards the end of their career. no disrespect meant

[jutubaeh]

@22salvatoret at least he didnt get a price in the name of a birth of a nation director... (whatever that means...)

[arthuronfacebook]

4:41 Dudley Moore! RIP!

[KazuoKiriyama666]

From the heart...

[DaBearsManiac]

that guy introducing sounded like he had brain issues or something

[VEGAxProductions]

@DaBearsManiac you are obviously dont know what are you talking about. thats one of the greatest directors of all time, Mike Nichols

[DaBearsManiac]

@VEGAxProductions did i say i knew who he was? i just commented on how he sounds. Kirk Douglas is a great actor, but just listening to him you'd think he was a senile old man. especially if you DIDN'T KNOW him.

[cocavega]

You ain\t seen nothing yet',,he was right when he did the Departed

[tomes55moon]

@cocavega is that a diss or a compliment?

[facejobby]

what the hell was he going on about from about 1:00 to 1:16

[nerofirestorm]

struth

[1DShoe]

he forgot his award.... he still gets nervous. until now, i didn't think he was human.

[goodassjob1985]

the girls at 2:09 all fucked jack. thats holly wood

[flakbac]

id like to beat the shit outta him courtside

[teaganmadki]

Asian women on the street #lushfmlk.info#

[at1212b]

Now that is what you call a Man.

[Matt16v]

What an ending to a speech!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[austintx009]

Anthony Hopkins hasn't recieved an AFI award because it's called the AMERICAN film institute, Hopkins last time I checked is no American

[sexydevil2]

@austintx009 and what about Sean Connery?? is he American?? nooooooo But he did get one.....
