Milos Forman ‪winning the Oscar® for Directing "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"

[ardbastard1]

Milos Forman is one of the greatest directors there's ever been & he's been so easily forgotten. He's a two time Oscar winner for god's sake & he won them for two masterpieces that he helped considerably to create & yet the huge majority of people in the world would recognise the names of greats like Stanley Kubrick, Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese & Woody Allen, but only a small majority of people would be familiar with the name Milos Forman. Ridiculous.

Happy Birthday.

Wow, even in 1976, Jack was wearing shades at night in public.

[MariePo100]

happy birthday genius!



[Malaikat31]

My god, what a competition. Forman and "Cuckoo's nest", Fellini and "Amarcord", Kubrick and "Barry Lyndon", Lumet and "Dog Day Afternoon". Classic after classic. I miss the old Hollywood.

[Osc1llateW1ldly]

well done Milos, what a great film! Happy birthday!!!

[hunter80357]

[ildico1]

Kubrick was a true genius. I love all his movies. Very underrated, sadly.

[liberal1905]

REMEBER HIS PARENTS... antifashist! M.F.!

[theturd12]

dog day afternoon was amazing though ...

[krtekachna]

Česká republika jede! :-D (Czech republic rolls!) :-D

[snyderkurva]

@krtekachna Milos Forman, žádná Česká republika!

[42shazam]

and the oscar goes to....the least talented director nominated this year

[88mphsss]

Norman Jewison for Rollerball!

[Casarzino]

can't believe Spielberg didn't even get nominated for Jaws!

[kubrox91]

i think he deserved it. i love kubrick but i was not really impressed by barry lyndon. if anything, the year he really deserved it was for a clockwork orange or full metal jacket.

[henrysinaga]

Wow diane had already became Annie hall before she starred in "Annie hall"

[HovaNirvana]

@henrysinaga Diane Keaton IS Annie Hall. The movie was based on her.

[1bardh1]

Milos Forman was amazing, but i still think Kubrick deserved it

[kutuluu]

Hardly any applause for Kubrick, nicely done Hollywood

[ManfredDeJesus]

@kutuluu Yes interesting how two of the greatest directors of all time, Kubrick and Fellini, are nominated together, and yet both of them get hardly any applause at all

[if5tatement]

@ManfredDeJesus probably because neither of them turned up.

[if5tatement]

@ManfredDeJesus probably because neither of them turned up.

[sssgv]

@if5tatement yes but that is because Fellini lived in Italy and Kubrick lived in England (and I heard that he had a fear of flying or something like that)

[malows1234]

@kutuluu ok seriously, honestly why the hell was the applause for stanley kubrick so little? where his movie not considered masterpeices back then? was he like a hated director?, littlerely, 6 people clapped. wtf, i dont get it. How were movies reggarded back in the day when they actually came out? was he considered a master back then?

[megalosauru]

@malows1234

Um, both didn't even show up in the Oscar.

[megalosauru]

@kutuluu

To be fair, Kubrick is never exactly everyone's favorite.

[malows1234]

@kutuluu what the fuck, why didn't they applaud for stanley kubrick? what the fuck is this? are they kidding me? how the hell could they not, he was the greatest genius not just among the nominees, but in that entire fuming room. they were probably jelous.

[singingindark12]

@kutuluu

two of the greatest directors of all time, Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick. What's common between them? The Academy were mean to them... :-( and they had been mean to Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg... I don't know why...

[ardbastard1]

@kutuluu It was obviously because Kubrick didn't attend. Both Kubrick & Fellini didn't attend the ceremony & that never goes down well amungst their fellow artists. He may have been a genius, but this wasn't the 1st time Kubrick was abscent from the Oscars & it's quite incourteous of him really. Why should they honour him with such a respectful round of a plause when he isn't polite enough to show up & except it?

[Cobbleston]

Yes!

[Cobbleston]

lovely man...

[Cobbleston]

I'm touched...

[Cobbleston]

Go Milos!

[Cobbleston]

I'm from Czech Republic and I'm touched...

[Cobbleston]

Very touching...

[JerseySurvivor]

This was Diane's first Oscar appearance and her last as a presenter for nearly 20 years!

[dreamtstreet]

Milos Forman deserved it and thank god he did.

[vadimzdonutube]

how was spielberg not nominated for jaws?????????

[ooks]

gosh diane keaton is just luminous. i can't even imagine how much everyone fell in love with her in 1977.

[Wired4Life2]

Awesome category, but Spielberg should have been there instead of Fellini (who, in an ideal world, SHOULD have won for "8 1/2" in 1963)

[JerseySurvivor]

@Wired4Life2 Fellini DID win for 8 1/2> Though he got the award for foreign film, not director. To date, no director has won for a foreign film.

PS. Would love to see the clip of Fellini getting that Oscar. It was presented by Julie Andrews!

[OmerSWDisco]

Great film, great director. Well-deserved.

Wanted to watch it again, opening the DVD.. :)

[zim83]

Sexy Diane...

[albertstock85]

First Comment.

Man, that list of nominees and films, each a masterpiece, and all of them, bona-fide masters, and, remember, that year they snubbed Spielberg for Jaws. That truly was an amazing era for film.

[Gallifrey1991]

Oh, Diane. I love you

[jarred160788]

Tremendously well-deserved.

[derwuppertaler]

Milos Forman is such a great director.

[SILRONE19]

Lumet should have taken

[Troubleshoot3R]

Robert Altman, Federico Fellini, Milos Forman, Stanley Kubrick, and Sidney Lumet all in the same category. Damn, I miss the 70s.

[KOHF34]

HIGHLY underrated director. Well deserved win.

[JWproducciones]

oh my god, what a year. the five deserved it

[Chilton1987]

William Wyler. Wow!

[solomonmonterrey]

Wow, what a set of nominees

[omemre3]

Its a nice movie

[alexxxdamasta187]

...and all the other nominees are better. Go figure.

[ShowsMorgie]

Thank you for posting this!

[fatizoo1000]

Wow!

[LadyAmerican]

Diane Keaton looks pretty hot in the white suit!!!!!!
