  • fernanda should have won

  • Painful from the word go, i heard she can't even look at the award now out of embarrassment. XD

  • Meryl's husband looks exactly as he looked this year!!

  • This was the first edition of "The Weinstein Awards",the Oscars no longer exist fellas

  • I think Gwyneth is a Great actress, but Fernanda Montenegro's performance in Central Station was FAR superior than any other actress running against her that night ......one of the biggest mistakes in Oscar history !

  • Tit's or gt....nvm...

  • i would like to thank my midclass teacher who once gave me a pen, and ex best friend that i used to like before she steals my boyfriend, and the first woman there's ever been in my family, and the girl that sometimes sells fruits in my supermarket, and my neighbour, and my cousin's dog, and CHarlemagne and Natalie POrtman, because she'll win an OScar in 2011 and....

  • FUCKEEN BITCH

  • Should've gone to Meryl

  • She made me cry, she is so sweet. Eres grande Gwyneth ..!! Y tienes gran corazon.

  • How sweet that her father got to see her win the Oscar :)

  • why not thank the fucking moon too? fucking idiot

  • Longest thanks ever. Haha..

  • @rvdrulez The audience split is a social one: the middle and upper classes got the seats; the poor sods/punters were termed groundlings, who only got to stand on the Globe's ground level. Incidentally the restored Globe is based on a design created by my neighbour John Orrell, one of the best Shakespeare profs I have ever read (or met for that matter.)

  • seriously a four minute speech

  • she looks like Grace kelly :D

  • Still, one of the most undeserving Academy Award victories of all time. It was well known the politics got her this cause Hollywood wanted many more young actress to come out to show their talents. And seeing how worthless Paltrow's career after this win is, Fernanda Montenegro REALLY should have won for Central Station. Young actresses will come anyway, Academy, even if u didn't give the Oscar to Paltrow.

  • @megalosauru so you can sit and watch this, see how happy she is, so happy she is brought to tears and say that she didn't deserve it and was a pointless win.

  • @megalosauru The academy gave too many awards to old ladies in the 90s (jessica lange, susan sarandon) whose careers went nowhere afterwards because they were already too old when they won. Thank god in the later 90s they gave the awards to some younger actresses gwyneth, hilary swank, and helen hunt although hers wasn't deserved

  • honestly, all five performances are great but emily watson's performance in hilary and jackie is the one that i'd never forget in my life.

  • However I think she's one of the most plain actresses that recieved this award, her speach is lovely. One of the most enjoyable to watch, most honest.

  • I hate this woman... but she's a good actress. The end.

  • jack is the man

  • where was her husband? or they didn't met back then?

  • @yoomgitsme I believe she was on a on/off relationship with Ben Affleck at the time.

  • her interpretation was good, but nothing like the other actresses

    Excuse me for the hard truth, but she only won because of his father sickness

  • she is such a sweet girl

  • Yes, for sure it's their choice, for Paltrow to win. No one argues that.

  • It's widely known in the whole World as one of the biggest mistakes by the Academy. Top 5.

  • 2:41 "And my friend Ben Affleck" Wait, Ben Affleck has friends?

  • Shes not the worlds most beautiful actress the way the media go on about her looks but shes a great person :)

  • she robbed cate blanchett

  • everybody deserved it, except for Gwyneth Paltrow

  • She should've been arrested for theft.

  • So touched and emotionail that her tears are too touched to produce themselves.

  • damn meryl streep, the academy loves the shit out of you!

  • @DamienBrown85 Made me laugh soooo much! Because Montenegro and Streep and Blanchett they all look so happy but Emily looks so evil... anywey, I don't think she's jealous, she was great in Hilary & Jackie

  • Does anyone know the song that's played after her speech? Just in the last seconds of the video?

  • The speech is honest...

    

  • I adore Nicholson's calmness, simply perfect!

  • You're all fucking stupid. Gwyneth Paltrow is amazing.

  • robbed

  • This speech is a torture.

  • What a fake display of emotions, I crinch of embarrassment watching this. She must be hollow.

  • @TheSololobo it does seem very fake. but you know, maybe she was just emotional. and actually her dad was fighting cancer, so it was pretty tough on her. guess she just got overwhelmed.

  • Haters go away,Gwyneth deserved the Oscar cus she was the most of hot of all the nominees,Cate is also hot though!

  • fuck her cate should have won it

  • omg stfu Gwen...

  • cate got robbed, because i saw that film and gwyneth was horrible.

  • I saw this film and gosh I really don't think she deserved that. Oscars is sometimes all about giving an award to this person because she has this certain look.

  • I saw this film and gosh I really don't think she deserved that. Oscars is sometimes all about giving an award to this person because she has this certain look. Its like with reese, when that girl from desperate housewifes she got robbed. 

  • I saw this film and gosh I really don't think she deserved that. Oscars is sometimes all about giving an award to this person because she has this certain look. Its like with reese, when that girl from desperate housewifes she got robbed. And this case cate and myrel got robbed.

  • Was she crying, or was she not??

    On a side note, who's that hunk sitting behind the Paltrow family? He appears at 0:37, 1: 07 and 3: 27. Please please don't judge me :)

  • why can't people just shut up and appreciate the extraordinary actresses that were nominated! cate was phenomenal, but she was even more so as kat hepburn hence she won an oscar for her role in the aviator! and gwyneth was phenomenal in shakespeare in love!:)

  • Of course this Oscar should go to Fernanda, but, anyway, she's not american!

  • I don't know why people say she did not deserve the Oscar at all. Cate was great, but Gwyneth gave an elegant, spectacular, unforgettable performance that you wouldn't mind watching over and over again. So wether you like it or not, Gwyneth deserved and won that Oscar and giving her shit for it won't change that. If you love Cate Blanchett so much, go watch her video where she win's the Oscar for The Aviator, for portraying the wonderful, the incredible, the legendary, Katherine Hepburn.

  • @SolemHours2825 Because she was not just great. And what was the worst -- her shrill voice while she tries to charm viewers. ECKKK

  • @drxwnedxwxrld Hahaha oh like you can do better? I bet your one of those people that bags on great actors and actresses because you can't be one yourself. That's pathetic and sad. 

  • Comment removed

  • And the REAL Oscar goes to....CATE BLANCHETT!

  • 3:27 Guy in the back left who looks kinda like Sid Vicious is restraining laughter.

  • Fernanda Montenegro is the best performance .

  • I think she is gorgeous, and let's be truth, not all the actress have to win for a drama, i mean when Loretta Young won her Oscar, that was highly disputed.

    What i'm triyng to say is: life is not just sad moments sometimes you have to have fun

  • Ella ganó y algunos no pueden leer esto, Gwyneth sí! =)

  • HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?

  • You can see her mother is a bit embarrassed

  • her husband is Chris Martin the lead singer of Coldplay...lucky woman

  • Well it's obvious Cate Blanchett didn't win because of Weinstein's most expensive campaigning that lobbied every voter to vote anything with "shakespeare in love" on it.. (see "Shakespeare in Love wins the best picture oscar".. bs)

  • this isnt as bad as the Sandra Bullock win.

  • can see her boobies...

  • @angelalfee You can see them in Shakespeare in Love anyway, so there were no surprises there anyway

  • Rubbish actress. And an ever worse speech!

  • @ButtHaver1993 fuck you. get some respect. dont watch it. and grow up

  • Cate Blanchett was the best in that year.

  • Sorry, but no one was better than Fernanda Montenegro that year...

  • VACA

  • What a mess.

  • Emily Watson and Cate Blanchet the best!

  • The Best women!

  • I WONDER IF A COW LICKED HER HAIR AND THAT OIL BATH I SEEN IT ON JERMAIN JACKSON !

  • Yes Cate and Meryl had better performances. Bravo that she has recognized it in her speech!

  • Love Gwyneth she is awesome and meryl too, she is so humble...Love themm!

  • haters...

  • Her father gave her that gorgeous Harry Winston Pink and White diamond necklace for that evening. She looked like a Princess. What a happy evening for them. I think her father died from cancer shortly thereafter. How sad.

  • Five great performances.... my choice would have been Fernanda Montenegro, just superb.

  • Comment removed

  • She's too skinny

  • I saw her in this movie. She sucked.

  • both Cate and Gwyneth deserve to have an Oscars.And they both have them.It is never just about the performance.Back in 1998 Gwyneth was the most respected promising, young actress in Hollywood.She made 5 films that year.While Cate was unknown in Hollywood at the moment.When they realised how great she is they gave her one.And nobody stole anything from anyone.5000 members of Academy vote.It's their choice.end of story!

  • @bracerist Yes, for sure it's their choice, for Paltrow to win. No one argues that.

  • Oscar was never just about performance. Back in 1998 Gwyneth was the most respected and promising young actress in Hollywood.She made 5 films that year.Cate Blanchett was practically unknown in Hollywood.When she became famous and respected Academy awarded her for The Aviator.I think they both deserve to have Oscars.And nobody stole anything from anyone because Academy has 5000 members - it's their choice.

  • i love paltrow! she deserved this!

  • GUYS GROW UP, let her have her oscar, who cares, move on, when twilight wins an award, and a good movie looses, its unfair, but I get over it, p.s. kristen steals every award from emma watson, but not now, cause she won 3 awards in the teen choice awards, and kristen 0 haha. But seriously guys get over it!, instead of spamming her, you should be saying '' next time she will get'' so enough with hating, GOD!

  • I thought Gwyneth was superb in "Shakespeare in Love," but I don't exactly think it was Best Actress winning worthy, but her winning really doesn't bother me. But come on people, you can't bash this beautiful, emotional, and sincere person for winning. She's a great person, and a great actress. Her speech was so nice. She was so happy, I bet she even thought she was going to win! All the other nominees were proud of her.

    Don't worry Cate has won an Oscar, and has been nominated many other times

  • paltrow deserved an oscar for great expectations, at least a nomination but not for this piece of shit.

  • You know what? Leave Gwyneth alone! Everybody deserve an Oscar! Maybe juries saw something in her acting that won her a statue of glory! And mind you, juries are also HUMAN! They judge according to standards and personal preferences.. So it's a little bit subjective.Even Gwyneth herself humbly gave recognition to her co-nominees, even saying that she's not deserved it

    And if you're saying that Oscars is unfair, I agree!! Because if it is not, Meryl Streep should have won her 17th award to date!

  • Why do people think this speech is so bad?

    I don't think it is as bad as others?

  • If it was any of the other four women's Oscar, then they would of won it. So really, proven by this video it is Gwyneth Paltrow's Oscar.

    Also, I wonder how many of you lot commenting on this actually voted for the people you are saying to win the Oscar? Not many I am guessing. So please, she credit the women in her speech.. be happy.

  • shut the fuck up everyone. you be trollin

  • meryl won like 16 times no harm done losing once haha

  • @ChloroformUrMother Meryl has only won twice and only once for best actress

  • They both won oscars. Can we be happy now?

  • OMG i laugh all the way trough her speech. Still have tears in my eyes!

  • In 1998 Gwyneth was the 'It" girl while Cate was newcomer.besides it's not her fault that she won.Others voted.Gwyneth said that she doesn't feel deserving.I think she's great and deserved it.

  • How do you interpret Watson's reaction? Shocked or happy for the winner?

  • Gwyneth Gwyneth Gwyneth!!! You made me cryyyyyyyyyyyy, wyyyyyyyyyyyyyy why why! anyway back 2 worl

  • please academy members: youre supposed to reward talent not popularity freaks. and dear gwyneth give back that oscar you stole

  • Meryl's performance was impeccable. Then again, all of her performances are, even if the movie isn't particularly great.

  • In Gwyneth's defense, her father was diagnosed with cancer a few days before she won and her cousin and her grandfather had just recently died. That's why she was emotional

  • @Bienville25 I'm assuming you're talking about her grandfather Buster, who was not dead at the time of this speech. Don't know when her cousin died, but the other guy she mentioned died 7 years earlier.

  • lol at the haters...Gwyneth deserved that Oscar and if you don't like it, you can stay mad.

  • Paltrow paid for this with her career.

  • Ok, as much as I love Paltrow, her performance and the movie itself, that was cate's award. She was stunning as Elizabeth, and she was the deserving one that year. Still, I'm happy for Paltrow, I love her and that movie...

    LOL Fernanda Montenegro was nominated

  • Yeah Cate was great, but Gwyneth was too. The crying really wasn't that bad, I don't see why it was so sensational, at all. There is a lot of emotion going up there. Nothing wrong with it in my book.

  • her bones are wrong.

    

  • Montenegro...lejos la mejor ese año....

  • Montenegro se las comio crudas a todas ese año...seguida por Watson...pero bueno siempre premian a CUALQUIERA

  • THIS acceptance speech is better acted than her shakespeare foolishness.... cate blanchett was ROBBED. ROBBED!!!!!!!!!!

  • Emily Watson!

  • i don't know if i like or not

  • Oh shit, get over it. Gwyneth won and there is nothing we can do about it.

  • @MrIr8urfrigginmovie we should petition to get that talentless bitch to give it back

  • Kevyn Aucoin did her makeup that night - she looked so perfect.

  • Fernanda Montenagro deserved this award for "Central Station" :(

  • she deserved only to sit in her seat. that's blachett's.

  • @shinozukeable What I don't like is how people (maybe not you) complain that the Academy unfairly favors dramatic performances over comedic performances, and then when a comedic performance wins, everyone says a dramatic performance should've beaten her. It's apples and oranges to compare the two, but in my opinion, either one of them winning would've been great. They certainly both deserved to be nominated.

  • Now everyone back off just a lbit, SHE DIDN'T PICK THE WINNER im sure she thought it was Cate or Meryl's Oscar as well. but she did win. and she took it graceful with sincerity. cant do anything about it now. get over it. beside all the rest of the nominees had already won or went on to eventually win the oscar-everybody wins-LITERALLY!

  • @CreaMrTive Fernanda Montenegro and Emily Watson (surprisingly) has not received their oscars yet.. and everyone is in an uproar (including me), because a simple, could-have-been-much-more, lifeless performance by Gwyneth Paltrow beat one of the most powerful and greatest performances of all time done by Cate Blanchett.. (This was also Paltrow's only nomination and Cate Blanchett has 5 oscar noms)

  • i love ya Gwyneth and i wish the best but.....Cate. that is all.

  • I can't believe the amount of people bashing her for winning an oscar. Some of the comments out there....I mean honestly? Is insulting her going to make her lose the oscar she received for her acting? Stop acting so butt-hurt.

  • 3:15 - "Bitch, you're embarrassing yourself. Go home."

  • @AcademyAwardsPerson haha.

    isn't that her mother, Blythe Danner?

  • @89cosmo Yeah, it is. Hahaha, that's why it's even funnier.

  • I've seen Elizabeth once, Shakespeare in Love at least 3 times. And I will never get over Paltrow getting this over Blanchett. I like Paltrow, she deserved the nomination, but the win . . . just YouTube Blanchett's performance in Elizabeth if you don't believe me . . . just 3 minutes of Cate's performance trumps all of Paltrow's in SIL.

  • where are the fake tears?

  • It would be interesting if Cate won because leading & supporting actress winner played same character in different movies.

  • Yeah you better thank Harvey Weinstein...he bought it for you and if you don't thank him you'll never be nominated again

  • may be cate blanchet, or la señora montenegro , she was amazing in central station

  • may be cate blanchet,

  • Comment removed

  • Elizabeth > Shakespeare in Love

  • Cate should have won...

  • I would like to thank... A bunch of Jewish people.

  • It was FERNANDA MONTENEGRO'S oscar! central station is touching and fernanda is magnifique!

  • FERNANDA MONTENEGRO deserved it, because brazilian cinema is the best, sorry, and she was brilliant in that movie, and still brilliant, actually ;)

  • Fernanda should've won

  • Bitch please

  • Cate deserved it,no way!

  • I know you guys might of thought other actresses deserved it but that doesn't mean to be really rude to her acting or the movie. She did a great job and the movie was really good. I understand if people thought other actresses did a better job but having an opinion doesn't mean dissing other people.

  • Oops...they accidentally called out Gwyneth's name. Awkward.

  • Oh Fernanda não ganhou. Merecia.

  • hold up hold up MERYL MUTHAFUCKING STREEP lost to Gwyneth Paltrow?...really? Gwyneth is a good actress but c'mon it's Meryl streep for christ sakes lol

  • Gwyneth deserved it. I LOVE HER.

  • The look on Dame Judi Dench's face at 3:44 is priceless. How many of you agree that upon wringing her fingers like that, she's dreaming of wringing Gwyneth's frickin' neck? LMAO.

  • When they pan to Geoffrey Rush his face just seems to say "I don't think so..."

  • Her voice and facial expressions indicate weeping, but her eyes aren't even watery. Fake.

  • @jckennedy13 Her dad was dying of cancer at the time... so guess again.

  • @marihxc it was her grandfather who had just died. Her dad died of cancer 3 years after this

  • I just watched Elizabeth, here on you tube, and my God, this was just the biggest bullshit in history of man kind.

  • @prodf +999 on your comment. Oscar campaigning by Miramax = causing academy member voters to get high on drugs

  • Why does everyone say she doesn't deserve it? She was AMAZING in that movie! and the others were too but I mean come on guys! Don't diss her! Anyone who gets nominated for an oscar deserves to win it! Unless Miley Cyrus or Vanessa Hudgens ever win one, which will never happen. Then we got a problem.

  • @AlaskaTeen97 if u believe everyone who gets nominated deserves to win it, does that mean there is supposed to a 5-way tie every year? oh btw nobody in the right mind would think she was better than the other nominees, the only reason she won was due to her popularity, which proves once again how much of a joke the oscars are!

  • Can they just let meryl streep move in. She has one of the best performances EVERY SINGLE YEAR!!!

  • Wow! That has to be one of the worst Oscar speeches in Oscar history! I read somewhere that Paltrow has packed her Oscar away and never looks at it. I can understand why, this is just embarrassing! This award proved, well and truly, that the Oscars are a farce. It's a popularity contest.

  • Ah yeah dude I love Gwyneth and she was so cute but Cate had a better performance... I couldn't choose between them two though... Must have been a close call on the voting.

  • I think Meryl deserves the Oscar

  • I think Meryl deserves the Oscar

  • Gywneth's win is one of the biggest jokes in Oscar history.
