  • It was not underserving. Helen was great in this movie and just to inform everyone that Helen Hunt may be the most awarded actress of the late nineties.

  • 1:53 - LOL! Never a moment of feigned sincerity from her!

  • worst award ever

  • Really endearing speech, but it should've gone to dame judi!

  • This award should have really gone to Dench or Christie.

  • 1:04 kate: BITCH!!!

  • 1:08 LOL I love how Hank Azaria puts his hands in front of his mouth so she cant kiss her xD Nice one!

  • god, kate was sooo young... so cute

  • Kate not only won on behalf of a distribution political premiums.

  • lmao!! the only one that is not british won!

  • Kate Winslet should have won!!!!

  • I find it funny that 4 out of 5 were British and the only American won... I suppose that's expectable from the Academy though

  • what a strong year for actresses. Helena Bonham Carter was astounding in Wings of a dove, such a beautiful performance. Kate and Judi were brilliant too. Havent seen Christie's performance yet but she is always good anyway. Love it when the award can go to any of the nominees, and each one rightly deserves it equally.

  • @Teezer44 Agreed -- I think everyone that year was pretty equal, and everyone was VERY GOOD. I think Helena gave her best performance here

  • Helen Hunt did not deserve to win ! It was a complete fix...Kate Winslet and Judy Dench were the best actors... I personally believe Kate Winslet gave a performance of a lifetime...But the academy is not trustworthy, Just like Brokeback Mountain, Color Purple...which were not awarded, because it was about gays & blacks, also the Oscar was sold to Sandra Bullock in 2010, finally Glenn Close and Bette Midler have never won...SAID IT ALL ! ...Oscars are fixed, however they are a glamorous show...!

  • @n6ikos Everyone knew Helen Hunt would win. As good as it gets to good reviews and did wonders at the box office.

  • Everyone knows it should have gone to Kate!

  • @kiwiboycorza Yeah, no. Only fanboys.

  • beautiful dress. Helen is lovely

  • did he say "Helen Hunt is as good as it gets"?

  • kate was so young!! love her, she-'s so pretty and an amazing actress

  • As Good As it Gets is such a brilliant film. Jack has never been better, nor have Hunt or Kinnear. It's a film I love more and more every time I watch it.

  • Judi Dench gave the best performance. According to Helen Hunt, she should have won the award. It's why she won the following year for "Shakespeare in Love."

  • Judi Dench >

  • Helen, I love you!

  • And one reason why you won the Oscar Helen over the others....... You were the only American actress in the category..... That's the only reason.

  • As Good As It Gets is one of the most shallow, overrated pieces of garbage I have ever seen. Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt did not deserve their Oscars AT ALL! Nicholson robbed Dustin Hoffman of the Oscars because of his goddamn reputation, and Helen Hunt won because that category was just a pick out of the hat win.

    BTW, why the fuck does Helen Hunt and Tommy Lee Jones have truly undeserved Oscars, but not a really great actor like Ralph Fiennes doesn't? Blow me Academy.

  • Helen was awesome, but I would give it to Judi Dench.

  • Kate Winslet should've won that year. IMHO.

  • 2:55 Hank's just thinking, "Why did I get mixed up with this bitch?" And somewhere else in the audience, Al Pacino is thinking, "Helen's got a...GREAT ASS!"

  • Kate Winslet is one of my favorite actresses of all time! its unconditional, But to say that she was robbed that evening is untrue, her role as Rose in Titanic was hardly and acedemy award winning performance....

  • @maudale Boo Hiss Boo!

  • Helen Hunt did amazing job in "As Good As It Gets".

  • Helen Hunt won many awards for this performance, including Golden Globe, Screen Actor Guild and, of course, the Oscar. Even if you enjoy "Titanic" more than "As Good As it Gets" (myself included) it's undeniable that Helen's performance is just excellent, and it was a very well deserved award. But if you still complain about it (because of Kate Winslet's losing) I suggest you to watch "Mrs. Brown" and take a good look at Judi Dench's brilliant performance. You will change your mind!

  • I watch this in 1998 ,I praying Kate ,Kate ,Kate ,Kate ,win that Oscar ! then oscar goes to helen hunt ! I cried a hour !

  • Helena Bonham Carter deserved the Oscar. Her performance in The Wings of the Dove was both chilling and ethereal - just flawless. (Alison Elliott deserved the Best Supporting Actress for her role in same, but sadly was not nominated.)

    Conversely, Helen Hunt is the most overrated actress in the history of motion pictures. Her two emotions are "scowl" and "scowl more."

  • Those who disliked this are morons ! Film "As good as it gets", Helen Hunt & Jack Nicholson's performances will be always considered as classic !!!

  • If Kate Winslet won that night , Titanic will be most won Oscar movie of all time

  • 41 people hate this video because Kate Winslet totally deserved that Oscar.

  • Kate Winslet deserved that Oscar .She was robbed by Helen Hunt

  • the oscar was kates

  • I recall seeing Mrs Brown that year in theater's AND Titanic and As Good as it Gets. I want to know how or why Helen got this; Judi Dench was more than robbed for her role. It was just one of those performances that so moves you, you can't stop thinking about it for awhile.

  • 4 british nominees and 1 american...and typical that it went to the american. Judi Dench was robbed. She definitely deserved to win!

  • @woody76flat9 and at the BAFTAS its typical it goes to a brit even though the American deserves it. Eat my shiz. 

  • Kate Winslet was robbed that night.

  • LOOK at Katie Winslet's face... When they announced the winner, she was like :O . Then, when they showed her again, it looked like she was about to cry!

  • Kate Winslet's face :O

  • One of my favourite movies. Please make more of these movies. PLEASE!!!! The quality of movies in last years going down drastically.

  • I still watch As good as it gets and i must say she really did do a great job in the film and so did Jack.

  • Judi Dench was robbed. She should have won. Mrs. Brown was a far more powerful performance.

  • even though i think helen hunt is fantastic, i really wish that Kate had won. she was knockout in titanic!

  • Winslet is simply my favorite actress ... But Titanic is so mediocre ... And it's less impressive performance of his career ... If it were not for Hunt win, Dench, Bonham Carter and Christie should never Kate!

  • What a waste of 2 major acting awards for a ridiculous feelgood movie which looks more like an extended TV sitcom. The Americans would like such trash.

  • this is one of the worst oscar wins of all time. anyone could have played that part so what the fuck were they thinking giving it to her. judi dench was robbed and had to be awarded for a 5 minute cameo in shakespeare in love

  • Best comedy I've ever seen and Helen was incredible.. loved everything she did in this movie.

  • Kate Winslet's performance was better!!!!!

  • Kates breasts looking soooo nice and big there

  • i am so suprirzed she beat out kate kate did an amazing job in titantic

  • All the nominees got a great performance but is it me or Kate Winslet was like "Damn, I was supposed to win".

  • Helen was right Judi Dench should have won

  • LMAO. one of the oscar nominees' names was Helena! She almost got excited!

  • there should have been tie between her and Kate

  • Kate should've won!

  • She was AMAZING in that film...

  • @Liz86000 They were both brilliant. I loved watching the two of them bicker all the time. They both deserved their awards :)

  • What an amazing group of performances! Classics all around. Hunt's was well-deserved.

  • Kate looks so pudgy here

  • @Casarzino No. She looks normal.

  • Kate Winslet looks pissed

  • @APandtheESG3 She does... haha

  • there should have been tie with her and kate

  • Oh shut up. IT'S OVER. This happened over 10 years ago. Both of them did fabulous, Helen gave a raw and beautiful performance. And no offense to Kate but she didn't deserve it for Titanic she deserved it for The Reader and maybe even Revolutionary Road which she wasn't nominated for.

    I LOVED Titanic but her performance didn't take my breath away in it, she refined over the years and got even better, her performance was worth a nom but not the win.

  • woah kate winslet's got a big rack...didn't deserve an oscar however.

  • should have been judi dench

  • Why does Kate Winslet deserve it for Titanic? Because it made so much money? She was great, hence the Oscar nom., but I really think Helen deserved this one. By the way this was an amazing pack of actresses that were nominated.

  • @misterashley Not to start any trouble but I think Kate deserved it because I got so emotional in Titanic during that climactic scene not because 'Jack' was dead but because of Kate's extraordinary performance reacting to it which didn't just involve her crying because he was dead but because of her solid determination following his death leading to her desperately swimming to a nearby whistle and giving everything to whistle it out of a pure survival instinct.

  • @HagSIN have you even watched As good as it gets??!??!?!?! She did such a better performance than kate winslet. although both were good, helen hunt was by far the better actress!!!

  • @misterashley Winselt>Hunt

  • Kate Winslet should have won!!

  • Captain Barbossa in starting wow

  • Wow what a joke the Oscars are helen hunt wins best actress over kate winslet in titanic

  • should have been Dench, but glad she won the next year to make up for it, in her 8 minutes of screen time in Shakespeare In Love.

  • CAPTAIN BARBOSSA

  • Geoffrey Rush announcing his future co-star Helena Bonham Carter.

  • 4 Brits and 1 yank.  And the Yank gets it. But Helen was brilliant.

  • I think Kate should win the Oscar,she did great job.

    But,she didn't.Also,I think that more people will remember her in Titanc,than Helen in As Good as It Gets.

    And for actor that is really important.

  • HELEN WONDERFUL ACTRESS!

  • A real toss up between Helen and Kate for this, not the greatest fan of Titanic but as Good as It Gets is a really charming movie and I think she should have edged it ..

  • zomg kate's boobs at 1:54 !!!

  • @bradley583 Beautiful!

    

  • I want Helena to win so bad

  • No, I think Kate should have won, Titanic was definitely the best movie

  • lol, 1:54. Oh Kate. <3

  • @kamibear Lol. She's just like, "What the FUCK is this shit?"

  • Kate looks pretty hot in that video. I can understand the hate for Kate constantly going "Jack, Jack, oh Jack!" throughout Titanic, but that is more an issue of the script rather then her acting. From what she was given, Kate did a phenomenal job of bringing depth to her character and making the somewhat-cliched romance feel real.

  • hahahaha i swear kate winslet is shaking her head "no" when helen is saying her acceptance speech and the camera flashes to kate. thats why i looooove heeeer.

  • noooo kate WINslet shoulda won. sorry but its true. titanic forever <3

  • This Oscar is deserved. Helen gave a great performance in "As good as it gets".

    Winslet and Dench were fantastic but the best was Hunt. That's that.

  • Когда за такие фильмы как Титаник дают Оскар, кажется, что американскому кино конец. Хелен Хант была очень настоящей и заслуженно получила Оскар

  • Moe Syzlak is her man!!!!

  • @isupposably LOL!!!

  • Helen Bonham Carter > All of the combined

  • you guys dont know anything acting... Acting is an Art so it is matter of taste, it's hard to say which actress was better. but i guess the oscar guys know more about acting that you average ppl. but i don't trust oscars that much now, maybe it's too commercialized, maybe they don't rate the art of acting for real, they dont judge acting seriously

  • @juanbarros88 I know! Jeez people get so over passionate on who didn't win. THEY AINT GONNA CHANGE THEIR DECISION

  • "...and the Oscar goes to Helen Hunt is it As Good As It Gets." WTF?

  • Winslet was obviously surprised.

  • Comment removed

  • @dldee912 Titanic did not deserve the Oscar at all.

  • @Linza007 It did.

  • and di caprio also should have won fro titanic

  • that was a lovely speech

  • @Oscars

    If you don't mind me asking...when will we get to see Jack Nicholson's win on the 70th Academy Awards?

  • @drkndvl AMEN."all night i've kind of had a sinking feeling..." or something, was it?? what's the holdup, oscars??

  • either kate winslet or helena bonham carter shouldve won

  • @brandonhytr you are absolutely true ... kate was great in titanic and helena is great anyway <3

  • Ironic is that years later Rush and Carter would make such a huge film like King's Speech together

  • @SG1Mitchell ...and that is ironic how?

  • Damn Winslet deserved that, I'll never forget it. But hey she got hers eventually.

  • Kate Winslet is an amazing actress and all but she is so stuck up!!!! Why couldn't she be happy for Helen?? Jeez!!

  • @SahleenahMGrayland She was really hoping that if she didn't win that Judi Dench would because she and Judi are good friends.

  • Qué hizo Helen Hunt luego?? nada! En cambio Kate Winslet siguió siendo nominada y lo seguirá siendo.

  • It was really nice to see Jack Nicholson kissing Helen's hand

  • Julie Christie should have won. She was AMAZING in Afterglow.

  • Titanic was shit.

  • Terrible actress, ridiculous film (more like an extended TV sitcom than a film), and a completely wasted Oscar. She has done very little screen work since then. Judi Dench in MRS.BROWN gave a superlative portrayal and was vastly more deserving that year. Similar unworthy "flash-in-the-pan" wins were Gwyneth Paltrow and Reese Witherspoon.

  • @philipc67 wow, what a critical comment. Maybe it would help if you to sit down on central heating to melt your heart a bit... then you will understand the basics of this film.

  • What a FANTASTIC year '97 was in film! "As Good As It Gets" is a GREAT film with great writing and great performances by Jack, Helen, and Greg. Helen deserved the Oscar this year..her portrayal of Carol was filled with humanity and didn't come across as "fake" (and this coming from a die hard Kate Winslet fan) I do think Kate with the others gave amazing performances but Helen's stood out.

  • 1:52 ... Wow! I've never seen such a despair at the Oscars! Behold - she didn't need that little Oscar to become a superstar.

  • Helen Hunt deserved her Oscar =)

  • what a face of kate winslet jajajaja sorrry baby but helen deserve it!!!

  • At 1.05 the other nominess thoughts

    Bonham Carter: Oh it's Helen not Helena he said. Damn it. Maybe in the future I will play a Queen to win one.

    Christie: Damn maybe in ten years time I will do another big role & I will win.

    Dench: The perfromance of my life as a queen and they give it to her. Well Im playing a queen again so I will win next year.

    Winslet: OMFG. I should have won this.The whole world has went Titanic crazy this year. All those days underwater. I even got bronchitis

  • @Sauloalopes

    Kate should have won . END OF STORY.

  • @Sauloalopes what are you talking about? She smiles and applaudes. Jeez, she was only like 22-23, I bet she wasn't expecting to win.

  • @Sauloalopes She was actually disappointed that Judi Dench didn't win because she and Judi are supposedly good friends. Judi was actually the front runner for this award since she won a Golden Globe and a BAFTA that year.

  • Really Helen hasn't done anything major since this. Dont know why she got the Oscar.

    Kate Winslet got four more nominations 2002, 2005, 2007, 2009

    Judi Dench 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2007

    Julie Christie 2008 and Helena Bonham Carter 2010

  • @frodoireland That means nothing. It's based on one performance. Not past performances, and certainly not future performances.

  • 1:52 - Wow, Winslet looks PISSED! When the name was announced, she also looked surprised. I think she expected Judi Dench to win as well.

  • I like that win. Still, it's pretty ironic that all Best Actress nominees that year returned to the Oscar races with the exception of Helen Hunt.

  • okay,kate shud hv won..but again hunt's humble speech more than makes up...

  • Titanic was such a technical masterpiece that Kate's performance is easily downplayed. However, her performance _was_ the movie, and upon repeated viewings, the depth she put into the performance becomes clear. I haven't seen Mrs. Brown, The Wings of the Dove, or Afterglow yet, but I can at least say that Kate deserved it over Helen Hunt's performance, which was admittedly good.

  • Kate was so pretty!

  • A thoroughly wonderful performance that totally deserved the Oscar. Kate became a fine actress but she was nowhere near Helen's level in that year.

  • It's obvious Kate should have won...

    On t'aime Kate!!

  • @EnergizerTurkey she won a best actress oscar for "the reader" in 2009.

  • Nelson Muntz pointing to Kate Winslet: "ha ha"

  • Judi should have got it that year without a doubt...

  • what can i say - helen's a beautiful woman, i love her jobs

  • Oscars can you please stop faffing about and upload Fay Wray's appearance during this ceremony. You invited her as a Special Guest yet you ignore her now! Stop this nonsense now. thank you

  • @weertyou So? Helen won the Golden Globe as well (in the Comedy/Musical category) plus the SAG Award. She was also a frontrunner. Either way both Judi and Kate are sore losers. But they both got Oscars later on in their careers so it's all good.

  • @will2peter She wanted Judi Dench to win if she wasn't going to. She was disappointed that Judi didn't win because she is a good friend of her's supposedly.

  • helena is too cheeckey

  • I adore Kate Winslet, but if anyone should have wone insteed of Helen Hunt - it is JUDIE DENCH for "Mrs Brown"!

  • Helen deserved it, i saw it again last night. Kate was meh in Titanic, Jack, oh Jack, Jack, JACKKKK, JACCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK;

    STFU -___-

  • A very nice speech. Not that it's her fault, but she didn't deserve the award.

  • did Kate Winslet date Chris Nolan?

  • I love that she won while Mad About You was still on.

  • she is so posied and graceful and luckly to have worked with Jack Nicholson - i would kill for that honour

  • Skinny helen

  • any of the other ladies deserved it more than her! loved her speech though......just funny how all of the other women have since been nominated or won or praised for work in other films, and her career kinds deadlined

  • Kate Winslet should have won for Titanic, she was amazing and sooo beautiful!!!

  • I love me some Kate Winslet, but Helen Hunt completely deserved it. She was incredible in As Good As It Gets.

  • Kate Winslet should have won

  • Do you think HBC clenched when he said "Hele..." and then, awwww.

  • KATE WINSLET SHOULD HAD WON BC SHES AMAZING AT ACTING AND SHES SO HOT

  • Wow. Helen Hunt is just amazing. She's so graceful and elegant. Unlike other actresses who win and totally freak out and ramble on incoherently, she's just so incredibly poised and self-possessed.  Love her.

  • Helen Hunt is too elegant to convince as a hardworking mom!

  • @iw32 maybe she's just a role model for a dignified poise, no matter what your circumstances.

  • Thats a joke right?

  • kate winslet is desperate of an oscar since day 1

    didn't say it was wrong though
