I think it's really evident from this speech, and the way he thanks his wife, that Chris Cooper definitely went through a lot of struggle before winning this award.
i think it is so unprofessional when people don't show up. like really? what else is more important? it's so tacky when they show that awkward picture of the person who didn't come.
@rtmeador Going to the awards was never a priority for him. He was absent at least 4 or 5 times when he was nominated, including when he finally won. He did, however, donate more than $300 million to charity from his food brand alone (since 1982.) & that's just a fraction of his works.
"There must be something wrong with a group that hands out awards and then has to send telegrams, saying, 'Please come.' It should be fun to go to — not agony. There's something barbaric about it." -Paul Newman
aw man i love chris cooper in this, but i didnt know ed harris was in the category. Ed was better I think. Not saying Chris wasn't amazing, he was, but Ed harris moved me much more in the hours
such a modest and lalented man... I liked that wshen the winner was announced, still shocked, he started to applause and his wife grapped his hand to stopped him... I also enjoyed him in Seabisquit...
I love it! I was in this movie Nicholas Cage was a really nice guy and so was Spike Jones the Director, fantastic! This is a great movie, see more of me! "click my name" I love you all!

Adaptation is an awesome brilliant movie. Everyone was great, even Nic Cage.
Chris Cooper was just hilarous as John Laroche and Meryl so divine as Susan Orlean (I really don't mind CZJ's win, but I so would have given it to Meryl instead).
I still don't understand why the movie wasn't up for best picture that year!
Great speech Chris!
Although I've seen all of the 5 nominees, he was really the best.
That's a true actor. Love his work and his passion. I have to say... "Adaptation", along with "Amadeus", "Network" and "American Beauty" have changed my life for real.
This guy is like 59 going on 60 and he still looks young DAMN!! that's a shocker and he looked bulky and different in his much older roles such as the father of Homer in October Sky and all and he looks exatcly new in this video. Wow it's amazing and i heard he didn't get plastic surgery to or did he?
@XxImpactXGreatest I think Chris Cooper just has fine wine syndrome. He's one of those actors who just gets better looking with age. If you check out Married Life, he looks very slim and dapper.
What a great actor and charming man. It's clear that his speech was heartfelt and it's sweet how he praises his wife.
he is one of the few actors who wasn't ready to loose it .. he works hard even he see no way to be a star .. but he is an absolute one and no oscar can say that
I finally saw "Adaptation" and in all honesty I prefer him in "Breach" or "American Beauty." I love Chris Cooper but in my opinion it wasn't his best nor was it the best of the year. Personally, I would have gone with John C Reilly or Christopher Walken in terms of actual performance. However, I do think its a great recognition of an underrated actor.
He's one of those actors who has the ability to fall into any character he approaches. I have yet to see "Adaptation", but I'm sure he deserved the Oscar. I'll let you know when I see the film.
Chris Cooper was amazing in "Adaptation.", is one of the greatest performances to won an Oscar ever!!!! It was very strong year for that category, all the nominees were great, but Copper deserved it ;)
@HoicnelixRex i loved adaptation but walken shouldve won. one of the greatest performances to won an oscar ever...please that's ridicolous and bad grammar
An extraordinary talent who does not get nearly enough recognition.
