  • *I* will never forget. Truly one of the most beautiful, poignant films of all time.

  • GOODFELLAS GOT ROBBED!!

  • I felt like clapping hands with all of them ^^" but, well, it would have been weird.

  • Funny how people say this movie does not hold up. You're kidding right? I, too, am one of those people who believe GoodFellas was the superior film of the 2. However, it does not lessen this brilliant film in any way. This movie was still very deserving of the win and im not actually upset that it did.

  • Dances With Wolves just doesn't hold up. Goodfellas is a fucking classic. What a shame.

  • definately well deserved oscar!

    as for Goodfellas - i never understood all the hype about this movie. it's really not outstanding in any way. nothing brilliant or original about Goodfellas in my opinion. that's why @thepresident45 gets thumb down

  • Barbra looks gorgeous!

  • Thank you for You Tubing this. This movie; exceptional in every way, told the truth about the history of the horrible atrocities that the Native Americans experienced by early Americans. This is the true American History and this movie captured it deserving the Oscar and more.

  • rip orion pictures

  • Dances with Wolves was beautiful! In my opinion, it's up there with Titanic! It definitely deserved to win!

  • I got goosebumps when she announced Dances with wolves won, and the music played

  • Never in my life have I seen such horrendous and vulgar talk over a masterpiece movie that deservingly WON. A mobster movie is just that. And it was NOTHING. It didn't even deserve to be on the same card as DWW. The 12 nominations weren't even enough. It should've taken every one. Quit complaining about the win already. It's DONE. Stick a fork in everything it's done. You whiners about GF just shut up already. Nobody cares that your stupid little mob movie didn't win. Get over it.

  • Awakenings was the best movie, don't get me wrong I loved Dances with Wolves and Goodfellas

  • Jonathan Kent you Rock and Dances with Wolves did deserve it as Does Avatar !:) RESPECT OUR NATIVE AMERICAN BROTHERS

  • 1:10 ou..what should I do..should I go there??..hmmm ok..let's go!

  • Doesn't Kevin look like Sam Neil????

  • why isn't the theatrical cut available in bluray for christ sake why studios keep shoving the extended cuts and ruining the reputation of great films?

  • Goodfellas, Ghost, Godfather 3 and Dances With Wolves were all good films. Comparing them and saying, "this one is better" is all a personal opinion. It's like saying one color is better than another. It's all a personal opinion. They were all great.

  • I thought Dances with Wolves was boring. I didn't even watch the whole thing. I watched it for 1 hour and 30 minutes and was bored to tears. It was literally Keavin Costner standing around talking about nothing interesting for an hour and 30 mintues. Goodfellas was much more entertaining and should've won.

  • @GreenGoblinsOckVenom then u must be boring

  • @GreenGoblinsOckVenom You obviously missed the point of the film. Dances with wolves opened up one of America's most shameful historical episodes, that of the virtual extermination of its indigenous inhabitants, in a way that portrayed these people not as the bloodthirsty savages that stood in the way of progress as had been done in the past, but as the highly developed, complex societies that they indeed were. The film was beautifully shot and highly evocative, and that is why it won.

  • @GreenGoblinsOckVenom Oh dear, another person with a five-minute attention span. Certainly, Goodfellas is a tremendous piece of cinema and in another year it could easily have won. The point is, Dances With Wolves explored a chapter of American history that was long ignored in Hollywood and it captured the minds and hearts of American and international audiences. Cinema is there to make us think as much as it is there to entertain!

  • I may get bashed for saying this, but Goodfellas should have won. Dances with Wolves was great, but Goodfellas had a better lasting appeal. Amazing movie

  • @SmashBrosFan19 bashed? yeah right.... lolol people have been saying that for 20 years now dude

  • I miss the old Kevin Costner

  • Richly deserved. I can watch it over and over again. Just bought it on blu-ray and it's good but not like the extended version which gives you another 45 minutes

  • Dances With Wolves is not even in the same league with GoodFellas. in fact not even as good as GF3 or Awakening. just my opinion of course.

  • LOVE HOW HE TURNS AROUND NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO WITH HIMSELF WHEN HE FOUND OUT THEIR MOVIES WON!!!

  • The fact that so many of you guys are defending this movie for winning best picture only shows Goodfellas is better honestly. Over 20 years later which one is more consistently considered one of the greatest movies of all time by film makers, film critics and movie buffs alike? Yeah. That's what I thought. The only thing this movie is remembered for these days is for having James Cameron rip it off.

  • @spxeli you got that from cracked

  • does that first guy have a huge herp on his lip?

  • One of the best sountracks ever

  • I've called Dances With Wolves the best movie ever made, and I just watched Goodfellas for the first time ever. You know what DWW has that Goodfellas does not? A good story. DWW puts me in a story I'd actually wanna be in. Not only that, it was the first non racist Indian movie ever. Goodfellas, guy always wanted to be a mobster, that's what he is, and the only character development is all down hill.

  • fuck this movie, goodfellas was robbed

  • my favorite movie of all time is the shawshank redemption and it lost to forrest gump (another great one) so this era just had a lot of good stuff

  • this was a rough year, i would have maybe put awakenings at the top (if you haven't seen it....WATCH IT one of the best robert deniro parts EVER!!! way better than goodfellas) but this paved the way for many films INCLUDING avatar where a person from a culture u understand enters a new one and learns and appreciates its value

  • DANCES WITH WOLVES IS AWESOME!

  • f**k the oscars this is bull, who cares what these people think? goodfellas is timeless. personally ive never seen dances with wolves and lets be honest, who has? it looks like a piece of trash.

  • @matt141989 goodfellas is like every gangster film ever made, only more cinematic. dances with wolves is unique as well as cinematique. when youre born in 1989 everything looks like a piece of trash. thats your whole generation.

  • @matt141989 nothing resembles a "piece of trash" more than your opinion.

  • @matt141989

    You haven't even seen Dances with Wolves. I have seen both movies, and both are good, but look who won...too bad too sad for you mate

  • @matt141989

    Who saw it? Dances grossed $736,000,000 in 2011 dollars (about 9 times as much as Goodfellas). Apparently quite a few people saw it.

    I would encourage you to see it too, but you're clearly not bright enough to understand it.

    So, stick with YouTube where minimum levels of writing skill, intelligence, common sense, and taste are not requirements for participation.

  • @matt141989 watch it it wont hurt i mean i love goodfellas; but dances with wolves is real good the soundtrack , the meaning all great. but i have to give the best sound track to goodfellas i mean they have hendrix in there lol

  • kevin costner, he was really good looking

  • Dances with Wolves is one of the best western movies of all time. Not only because it was a great film but it was different from other westerns.

  • SHU MAHNEE-TU-TANHNKA-OHH-WHAH-CHE­EEE!!!!

  • dances with wolves belongs in the junkyard of hollywood movies

  • Scorsese was my favourite director and Goodfellass is a wonderful film. But Dances with wolves deserved this.....it's an INCREDIBLE movie.

  • @ps3fan4life007

    That's just your opinion. And for those that LOVE Dances with Wolves your opinion doesnt matter. This was a GREAT movie that i will never get tired of watching. I have seen the godfather but yawn. Goodfellas is a very good movie as well..but after watching it 10 times..it got boring. I've watched Dances with Wolves more than 20 times..and i just cant help but enjoy myself every single time. It's a VERY special movie.

  • Goodfellas should have won. Not only was it the best film of that year, the best film of the 90's and also one of the greatest of all time. If they that badly did not want Goodfellas to win then Godfather Part III should have, both excellent mob movies and movies in general. Dances with wolves however good not in the same league.

  • @ps3fan4life007

    Dances with wolves was Epic..The Mob movies were great themselves but paled in comparison to Dances with Wolves.

  • dances with wolves is an amazing film  so is goodfellas. but dances with wolves had an important message , it had a meaning.

  • Oh my God, Dances with Wolves, The Goodfellas, Godfather III and Ghost...?WHAT A YEAR! why cant we have this now?

  • @SKSelphie dont forget Awakenings. that movie was terrific!

  • @SKSelphie you put the dot on the i my friend

    4 superfilms alltogheter same year

  • @SKSelphie How about 2007 mate? That was a fantastic year. There Will Be Blood, No Country For Old Men, Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Next year is looking fantastic too

  • Dances With Wolves made me so touched in so many ways. If a movie can provoke anger, joy and sadness at the same time it's a success. I especially love that the movie i almsot 4 hours long. (I watched Director's Cut, don't know any other).

    Fantastisk movie!

  • Wow!!! Stiff competition for Best Picture. Damn. Dances with Wolves was worthy of the win. It's a touching and beautiful portrayal of the Native American, unlike had ever been done before.

  • kevincostner$:♥

    

  • Piss and moan about Goodfellas.... Bla bla bla.

    But seriously, that is a hell of a BP lineup.

  • I see no evidence of a man with an oversized ego. He comes across as being clearly humbled by the award and even though his speech obviously didn't quite come out quite the way he intended it, he has such a nervous boyish charm to his persona that it's quite a surprise as to why there is so much hate directed towards him.

    Dances with Wolves was a masterpiece.

  • Dances with Wolves is very good, but GoodFellas and Awakenings are much better.

  • huh wtf is godfather part 3 doing here??

  • Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, all robbed

    Scorsese did get the Departed, my personal favorite of the bunch

  • @Alty732 ...But The Departed smacks of being a make-up vote for earlier snubs, which the Academy is famous for. if anything, Scorsese should have already had an Oscar in his back pocket for "Raging Bull' which was far superior then and now to that ordinary movie "Ordinary People". I mean, if you had a choice to watch these two movies on TV right now, which one would you choose?

  • This movie really deserves it...

  • goodfellas was robbed

  • @vadimzdonutube Shut up. Go home and get your fuckin shine box! ;-)

  • Good film, but Goodfellas was robbed. Goodfellas ia a masterpiece, and Martin Scorsese deserved the Best Director Oscar for it.

  • GoodFellas

  • WTF IS WRONG WITH THE ACADEMY.

  • Dances With Wolves was a great movie, but in my opinion Goodfellas should have won. Both were great movies, but Goodfellas to me was one of the top 5 best films of the last 30 years. it does not matter that mafia movies like the Godfather 1 and 2 were made before Goodfellas, Goodfellas was such a different film, a mafia film that had never been made that way. It was so different, funny and brutal at the same time. You can watch it over and over again and never get tired of it.

  • @ThePresident45 It wasn't going to win- it had only won one award that night. It's all about patterns- with one exception, every best picture since Annie Hall has won a minimum of four awards.

  • @ThePresident45 GOODFELLAS SUCKED OKAY!!! THE DEPARTED WAS WAY BETTER THAT WHEN MARTIN SCORSECE WON

  • I'm sorry but I'm attracted to Mr. Kevin Costner...

  • BIGGEST JOKE IN ACADEMY AWARD HISTORY, A F***ING JOKEEEEE I TELL U

  • One of the biggest jokes in Oscar history. Goodfellas should have won.

  • @theliarintheglass You are nuts! 

  • Dances with wolves is good but Goodfellas is probably top 5 best movies of the last 30 years.. Kevin Costner needs to go home and get his shinebox.

  • @DonRMB Shut. The. Hell. Up. Thanks.

  • Dances with Wolves is a fantastic film and is hugely underrated.

  • BARBRA STREISNAD? EWEWEWEWEWEW

  • Deserved all nominations ... Brilliant Movie !

  • WTF are you talking here Goodfellas is shite movie compared to Dances

  • @TheSonylo ha ha ha ha Your just like Kevin. SHIT!!!!!

  • @TheSonylo You must be on crack to say that. Dances With Wolves = Shit, Boring, Sleepy, Horses, Tatanka.

    Goodfellas = Excitement, Attraction, Music, More Talking, Killing, Cursing, Brutal Humor, Great Directing, Great Acting and Goodfellas is actually inspired by a True Story.

  • They're both great movies, but in all honesty I think Goodfellas should have won this award.

  • GoodFellas is a good film but it will never have the heart and soul of Dances With Wolves, sorry.

  • I like both "Dances with Wolves" and "GoodFellas". They are both excellent films.

    This is NOT the biggest fuck-up of the oscars. (Marty should have won for "Raging Bull" not "Ordinary People"). The same people who voted for this were probably the same people who chose "Forrest Gump" over "Pulp Fiction". Both excellent films again, but "feel good emotions" tends to trump "violence" during the oscars. Look at this year, "The King's Speech" beating out "The Black Swan" and "The Social Network".

  • Should have gone to Goodfellas hands down, however dances with wolves was very good

  • Kevin Costner fucking sucks, should have gone to Goodfellas.

  • DWW is a great film, a fresh idea and the first movie in this issue and presented its depth perfectly. Goodfellas was the 25th maffia movie, Godfather and some others won some 128 Oscars in that issue before. I think that is why DWW won the Oscar. And it was a good decision.

  • Yeah, Dances With Wolves is not better than Goodfellas. This is why the Oscars are a joke.

  • @1147productions Could you all please go bitch somewhere else? If you think the Oscars are a joke, you probably wouldn't want to comment on a video from a YouTube channel called "Oscars" anyway. Go make a channel called "OscarsSuck" and vent there.

  • @1147productions If you don't like the Oscars, you don't have to watch.

  • Best movoe ever made in the history of film!!

  • Dances with Wolves>Avatar

  • "Goodfellas" got robbed. This Is reason I Fucking Hate Kevin Costner

  • one of the biggest fuck-ups of the oscars..."GoodFellas" all the way

  • @Hellzyead thank you. this movie was bullshit

  • That movie really is a beautiful film. The fact that it was his directing debut is just amazing.

  • SHIT

  • @MrZoology LOL no...Avatar isnt even James Cameron's best.  Terminator, Terminator 2 and Aliens are FAR superior.

  • theres a reason that 20 years later, goodfellas is on every best movies ever list and dances with wolves isnt even opn AFI's top 100

  • had ZERO business beating goodfellas.

  • Goodfellas got Robbed, i don't really even like dances with wolves

  • FIX!

  • Goodfellas is my favorite movie of all time, but awarding the oscar to Dances with wolves seemed only right. Politics plays a *very* significant role with this ceremony, and not only was Dances with wolves a fantastic(and worthy) movie, it was probably the first time in history that Hollywood treated native american culture with a little respect.

    While Goodfellas is my personal favorite, it's far from typical Oscar-material. Then again; the world doesn't stop at Hollywood, so who cares?

  • Costner talks about "never forgetting what happened here tonight" as if it were the massacre at Wounded Knee.

  • Dances With Wolves was an excellent film, but Goodfellas was easily better...

  • @spxeli

    That's an opinion. What Kevin did with the budget of Dances With Wolves was phenomenal.

  • This is when the Oscars actually meant something.

  • @eyedea81 yea, it's so commercial now. And a lot of it is politics--"oh, this actress has paid her dues so we should give her the award this year--even if another one did a better job, etc..."

  • @eyedea81 no it wasn't. dances with wolves won over goodfellas? are you fucking kidding me???? who gives a shit about dances with wolves....

    the oscars were bullshit then and remain so now.

  • @eyedea81 I don't think so

  • @eyedea81 also when schindlers list won

  • @eyedea81 This is when the oscars meant something? Like screwing Goodfellas?

  • @eyedea81 Indeed.

  • This movie is Awesome!!!

  • GOODS MOVIES THAT YEAR

  • i hated this film

  • what kind of films do you like?

  • GoodFellas losing..... wow lol! dancing with wolves sucked ha! what was it about? abunch of ghay cowboys?

  • @TheeRyan1 I bet you suck alot of dick.

  • @TheeRyan1 did you even see Dances With Wolves you asshole?

  • kevin is stuttering...lame speech ever

  • The best movie ever !!!

  • jesus fucking christ. ive seen many many oscar speeches in my life. there are the standard speeches, the emotional ones, the scandals, but this is hands down the most crappy acceptance speech ever held at an academy awards ceremony.

  • wow Kevin what a shitty speech

  • We just watched the movie for the first time last night and are very happy that this great tribute has been shown to the Indians of whom we love. For the past few weeks we have been doing much research on the history of America and how it relates to the Indians and are shocked at what we are finding to be the REAL story. These tribal ppl are an incredible example to our depraved culture we live in today!!!!! We are so inspired by the movie and all the many things we have learned about these ppl.

  • Goodfellas was awesome, I agree with that...but this movie deserved the oscar. 

  • Comment removed

  • @spxeli a lot of people here apparently.

  • GoodFellas should have won. Its one of the greatest films of all times. The Godfather Part I and II of its time. Its a classic and more memorable than Dances With Wolves. Top 5 Films: Godfather, Godfather Part II, GoodFellas,Scarface,Taxi Driver

  • Goodfellas is great......but compared to Dances with Wolves, it's a bowl of horse manure.

  • DANCES WITH WOLVES FOREVER...!!!!!! *KEVIN COSTNER* FOREVER

  • DANCES WITH WOLVES .......FOREVER AFTER!!!!!!

  • Dances with wolves was great....Goodfellas was greater...

  • wow, dances with wolves beat goodfellas and the godfather part 3? that's incredible

  • @tabunuwara godfather part III isn't taht good but goodfellas is great and dance with wolves too

  • Dances with Wolves is easily one of the besr movies EVER made. You really have to see the 4 hour version.

  • Godfather 3 should have won

  • @SuperShadow781 The God Father and God father II were brilliant but Godfather III shouldn't have even been nominated

  • Did anyone want Godfather Part III to win? I would have loved to see that.

  • Goodfellas definitely should have won.

  • Barbra Streisand is very HOT

  • @44eelz

    She has a "but-her" face. Everything is good but her face.

  • Who is that actress at 1:35 ?

  • @Ticlano I believe it's Mary Mcdonnel who played stands with a fist

  • Who is that actress in tears at 1:45??

    

  • One of the slowest "go nowhere" movies I ever saw. I have visisted the location where the movie was made in I think N Dakota.

  • Damn, I didnt realize how many good movies came out that year. Ghost was a freaking chick flick, but still, all great movies.

  • Personally I find Dances with Wolves to be a beautiful and touching movie and Kevin Costner is just nervous and humbled by the honor of winning an Oscar.

  • lets be honest, Goodfellas was the landmark of the 90's, it should've won that year, and for the direcring Scorsese deserved it as hell!

  • lets be honest, Goodfellas was the landmark of the 90's, it should've won that year, and for the direcring Scorsese deserved it as hell!!

  • @VEGAxProductions I agree with you. But films like this win because they have native americans and mountains in. Fucked up right?

  • I remember seeing Dances With Wolves in the theaters when I was 11 years old. I thought it was absolutely amazing then and I still do now!!!!!!!

  • Kevin deserve best actor too !!!! Dance with wolves is a TRUE masterpiece. Thank you Kevin, us american movie don't do movies like that now : just remakes and reboot.

    I wait your next movie kevin =)

  • dances with wolves was a great film but scorsese deserved that oscar

  • I wonder if the same fools applauding this win remembered the time they booed Marlon Brando's representative, Sacheen Littlefeather, when she regretfully refused his Oscar for Best Actor?

  • The only special thing about Avatar was its CGI.

    Story wasnt anything special. But still a good movie.

    This one on the other hand is remarkable.

  • Goodfellas..... the archetypal mob film. One that ALL others are compared to... and it didn't friggin' win, man WHAT THE FUCK!

    And Kevin Costner is such a... babbling vagina.

  • @degree7 First off how are you gonna say that Goodfellas is the ultimate mob film? Everyone knows that the Godfather is the best mob movie of all time, arguably the best film of all time in general by many.

    And you'd probably be babbling too and nervous if you just won the best picture oscar!

  • @degree7 you should be ashamed of yourself. I met kevin costner once and he was a humble, sweet and genuinely kind man. Maybe you wanted Goodfellas to win and youre entitled to your opinion but to put down a man you don't even know for it, shameful

  • dances with wolves is long and boring and long and even more boring. GoodFellas was full of life, it was like watching a 2 and a half hour long movie trailer. i dont think the academy awarded it best picture, like saving private ryan, was because it was too violent. the academy normally sympathizes with feel good stories.

  • @getlikemc you have to look past the fact that the movie is slow moving. Look at the STORY its trying to tell. The STORY is why it won best picture. The tale of this military man truly turning into a sioux and learning and loving their ways. It's a beautiful film.

  • tragedy, one of the many oscar bloopers how goodfellas did not win is beyond me. I think most people are baffled by that vote. Ask anyone today who remembers dances with wolves? far less then remember Goodfellas. Oscars should go to films that change cinema and are remembered by people many years afterwards. I hear now friends still talking about the brilliance of goodfellas.

  • @missjacko1 Dances with wolves deserved this no doubt!!!

  • @Michele88232

    Just because it is obviously NOT your cup of tea, it doesn't mean it was bad.  You have NO idea what you're saying; Goodfellas is one of the best movies released during the 20th. century!!

  • bullshit

  • Dances With Wolves for the win! A film about love of beauty in nature and culture.

  • kevin costner should go home and get his shine box

  • Why all the hate for Avatar?

    Avatar never sells its story, but the visual effects.

  • dances with wolves give back the golden era of holiwood, give hope to people this film teaches you to be a god human been ! this is the graetest mouvie that was ever made ! is my favorit!

  • What a comlpete crock of shit! Goodfellas should have one.

  • Goodfellas should have won and everyone knows it.
