Elizabeth Taylor winning an Oscar® for "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"

[rocknrolladan]

OH GOD! Anne Bancroft is gorgeous, what a voice!

[rocknrolladan]

Vanessa Redgrave was so sexy! and hippie, I like that

[Wifket]

Mrs. Robinson looken gooood

[Starkardur]

Vanessa Redgrave and Anouk Aimee look so much alike. Lynn and Vanessa are sisters but look nothing alike although they share similar styles. Vanessa looked so cool - so relaxed more like oh cool I am at the oscars wearing london fashion with these weird hollywood people.

[itone]

Wow Anne was so beautiful.

[MelissaLovesMakeup89]

Funny how both Best Actress wins for Liz had Bob as host :)

[bleachbred]

Elizabeth Taylor deserved the oscar for her performance in this role hands down!

[aboyintheband]

wow Anne Bancroft @2:05 & @2:15 so sexayy!

[calvintoronto]

Where was Liz??

[955pokerface]

One of the best performances by and actress of all time.

[Etheline]

WHAT A SURPRISE!!!!! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Annie Bancroft sooo much, I watched this because I ADORE Virginia Woolf and wanted to see Liz Taylor accepting this award and what a surprise to see Anne here! YAYAYAY!!!

[Misteron20]

Mrs Robinson accepts the award, and she's as hot as ever.

[Cobbleston]

@Misteron20 Mrs. Robinson was played by Anne Bancroft you idiot!

[Misteron20]

@Cobbleston You are a bigger idiot, from what I see, because that's what I'm saying actually: Mrs. Robinson was played by Anne Bancroft, and she accepted it on behalf of Taylor.

[Tigerlily21]

With Charlize Theron in Monster and Meryl Streep in Sophie's Choice, most deserved win in the category.

[lucasboden]

@Tigerlily21 - I think Hilary Swank's performance in Boys Don't Cry was superior to Charlize Theron.

[Jbirdrules3818]

@lucasboden who cares swank has two oscars

[littlearmel]

Anne Bancroft looks radiant !!!

[etrax2000]

@littlearmel and she jokes, "I'M NOT HER !"

[MrRazorblade999]

Richard Burton should also have won an Oscar.

[juanpagl16]

@MrRazorblade999 you bet!

[etrax2000]

two sisters? How rare was that ?

[OperaNerd1986]

@etrax2000 I think the only other time it happened was at the 1941 Oscars when both Joan Fontaine and Olivia de Havilland were nominated for best actress.

[ggfanjase]

Vanessa, Anouk and Lynn all look stunning. Ida looks like a real lady.

[zim83]

This is the Oscar that Liz deserved, not the one she got in 1960.

[SondheimFanatic310]

Just revisited this film. Say what you want about Elizabeth Taylor, but you can't deny that she was an amazing actress, most brilliantly displayed in Virginia Woolf.

[SondheimFanatic310]

Just revisted the movie a couple of days ago. No matter what people may think of Elizabeth Taylor, they can't deny that she was an incredible actress, displayed so brilliantly in WAOVF.

[BennyJayRuss]

Elizabeth was amazing in this movie :D

[jon1955f]

As the story goes Richard did'nt want to go Elizabeth did. She should have gone it was her crowning achievement!! What a great performance it was. The film should have won also

[jimmymoviehound]

anne bancroft looked amazing in this clip

[duckwrangler]

wow - looks like some restoration work has been done on this videotape - looks like it was done yesterday.

[JerseySurvivor]

AHA! The moment when things come together. Anne was always a nervous self conscious person off screen. She gave few film/taped interviews (NO James Lipton) and those she did give she insisted on control. Yet now I realize she was filming The Graduate by day and the Awards were threatened by a TV strike that night. So I assume Mike Nichols may have asked her to accept for ET. BTW, Nichols accepted for Sandy Dennis that night. Any clip of that, AMPAS?

[Angietony]

Thank you for posting Anne looks gorgeous!



[nauvalyazid]

If there's a film that deserves all Oscars in acting categories, I can't think of anything better than "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?". The film relies solely on the four characters, and the performances from the actors range only from very good to great. Simply amazing.

[fenric71]

Richard Burton should have got an oscar for this too.....

[lunakick12]

anne bancroft looked very classy! and the dress is to die for!!!

[pishpasch]

Its "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" not Wolf.

[billysscreeningroom2]

Anne Bancroft was one beautiful classy dame!

[LadyAmerican]

Just loves the way Lee Marvin opens the envelope!!!! So cool!!!!! And yes, Anne Bancroft looks stunning!!!!!

[mckd3]

Finally! Thank you so much! I´ve been looking for it for so long.

One of the most deserved Oscars in Cinema History

[bradley583]

I love how in the older Oscar clips, all the nominees look so serious...

[AORMETALGORE]

@bradley583 yeah, maybe it's because back then it truly was a huge deal to win one

[chilvari]

@bradley583 They're a bit too serious for my tastes. I do prefer classic cinema over alot of today's choices, but I feel like the atmosphere at the oscars is more hearty today than it was back in the 50's and 60's.

[Starkardur]

Vanessa Redgrave and Anouk Aimee look so much alike. Its like watching Redgrave in a black wig. Funny how Vanessa and Lynn Redgrave look nothing alike.

[KellyGreen5555]

Bob Hope was the greatest host, followed by Johnny Carson.

Elizabeth winning for this performance is rightly deserved. Brilliant!

[outinsider]

I don't know why, but this clip reassures me that her artistry will live, even though her human form is gone, people will still remember her for the amazing actress she was.

[Anynom]

I loved a great moment earlier as there had been talk of the two Redgraves against each other and Olivia DeHavviland gave them a line from her sister (and one-time competitor) Joan Fontaine: "Remember, there are three other nominees."

[JerseySurvivor]

Bancroft looks unbelievable!! I think this is the only time she accepted an award and it wasn't hers!! How about Vanessa's specs? Anouk is still just as breathtaking. Isn't that Lady Redgrave nervously scratching her neck in front of Lynn & John? And dear Ida of the NY Jewish theater. Looking radiant, she was 70 here.

Watch Vee give Anne a pat on the back as she passes (did she think it was Liz?). She did a similar thing to Pacino and others as encouragement when winning.

[arashtony]

@JerseySurvivor I agree, Anne Bancroft is breath-taking here, but I must correct you, she had won her own Oscar 4 years before for "The Miracle Worker".

[catgirl1234]

Aw! The stage (for some odd reason) looks so sweet!

[alasfran28]

Thank you for this. One of the most deserving wins ever!

[henrysinaga]

I love Lee Marvin he is soooo funny and amusing, Ann Bancroft is obviously high

[dinasztie]

One of the most deserved awards ever. Sad that she wasn't there that night because Burton was not winning.

[roscoegino]

Anne Bancroft was a hot piece of woman. Italiano!
