Emma Thompson's Best Actress BAFTA for Sense & Sensibility

[Jmgirl]

I <3 Emma T!!!! xD

I could listen to her talk all day

[emma8thompson]

I must say out of the clips they showed she definitely did seem far better than the other nominees. I haven't seen any of the other films, but Emma Thompson is generally the best actress in just about any grouping anyway.

[WildKitten46]

Ang Lee to Emma Thomson: "Don't look so old"

Ang Lee to Alan Rickman: "Be subtle. Do more"

Excuse me?? This guy wasn't very helpful, lol.

[TheLOVEmerylSTREEP]

The winslet girl xD how much i love Emma...

[77cobby]

How funny is she?!

[southernbrooklyngal]

its star!!!

[TheRjjrjjr]

How much can be said about Emma Thompson? She is one of the great human beings of her generation. It was really sad for the other actresses to have their clips followed hers. She is a wonder.

[jferkfjkj]

who's the man introducing jeremy irons

[CKVish]

@jferkfjkj It's Sir Peter Ustinov

[TheLOVEmerylSTREEP]

@caibutterfly1689: u absolutley right!

Could you please tell me more about her new project. The Story about the australien lesbian? ;)

Im from germany and its hard to hear something about Emma ;)

[caibutterfly1689]

its so *funny* when people who dont like her say she puts herself in the lead of her movies too often... firstly, w/this movie she didnt put herself in the lead, ang lee did - and in fact when she wrote it, she never wrote it for herself.. the only time she purposefully did it was for nanny mcphee and possibly for the movie she's working on now about an australian lesbian... but if she didn't do that one she'd have to find someone willing to, and that might be hard.. just putting it out there

[drumkey86]

If you start watching from about 3:50 you will see Emma Thompson "excepting" an award in 1981!!! (while a student at CamBridge U.!!!)

I love both!!!!!

[Liz86000]

@msinvincible2000 The three of them are wonderful. I love Jennifer Ehle, great actress, and forever THE Elizabteh Bennet! :)

[EmmaAlanFan]

[Morninglight101]

[monivicky]

[metube12]

The winslet girl lol

[mf2101]

They all looked dressed for the office...

[AnneofPoland]

please, write for me what Emma said, because I didn't understand most of her speech ;)

[AnnetteWarren]

@AnneofPoland

Thank you BAFTA, very much indeed. That's totally unexpected and really wonderful. I'd like to thank the entire cast, even though they were all vile to me, cause I'd written it. And pricipally the Winslet-girl of whom I'm very fond in spite of her youth, talent and beauty. And obviously Hardy and Spriggs were very difficult cause they actually knew Jane Austen.

[cervaPL]

@AnnetteWarren

OMG, thanks, that's v.kind of you to write down the speach, although I did understand like 95% of it, it always helps when written!

[AnnetteWarren]

@cervaPL You are welcome! :)

[AnnetteWarren]

@AnneofPoland

And Alan Rickmann and Hugh Grant, of course, who both had bigger trailers than me, which I am still slightly twisted about. But of course my principal thanks must go to Ang Lee, the director, even though he kept on coming up to me and saying things like "Don't look so old!" which was crushing. So thank you for lifting me out of the depression that that set me into. This is a great thrill and most unexpected honour and I am very grateful.

[FlewMary]

Emma thompson is amazing! Brilliant and so funny :)

[ILUVNY1994]

emma thompson is brilliant. i adore her :)

[Arshabyn7]

She is very funny! excelent actress!!

[Catherine5689]

She's a great personality! <3

Loving this irony, which is an intesified and adapted-to-modern-world version of Jane Austen! And I'm addicted to Jane Austen, as to Emma Thompson! =)

[nostalgic001]

Where's Susan nomination on this?

[CarinaF13]

Gosh I never tire of watching this acceptance speech of Emma's nor any other. Pure brilliance! Emma is SO unbelievably funny! I absolutely ADORE her to bits! She's genuinely lovely in all countenance and spirit.

[MsDDiddy]

you should see her golden globe speech for sense and sensibility. absolutely brilliant!!

[shermanslave]

is her sleeve ripped under her left arm?

[bookTVmovielover]

I think you're right!!! Could be ripped under her right arm as well...

But aside from that this is one of the best acceptance speeches ever! Emma Thompson is hilarious!

[arabia1980]

it looks like is ripped, but its a bolero jacket worn over a dress, so its just the jacket lifting when shes kisses Jeremy Irons, have a look at getty images, you will see its a jacket.

[TheXMissyX]

Haha she's fab bless her.

[pmitsos]

drowsynumbness...are you saying that Fry could have said what I said about Emma and have everyone in stitches, or, what what EMMA said in her speech and have everyone in stitches. Because people were already laughing at what she was saying, and she wrote it...not Fry. (I'm assuming you think that people would be laughing if Fry said my words)....

At any rate...let me restate that I ADORE Emma.

[loxj]

How charming is she.

[ColliCub]

The clip they show of her performance in 'Sense & Sensibility' is one of my all-time favourite movie scenes; it's a brilliant monologue and a heart-wrenching emotional collapse compared to the rigidity and stoic nature of the character's role earlier in the film. And Emma Thompson just rocks... what a wit!

[Jonboi713]

He says "your royal highness" as this is 96, was Diana there?

[thesingingtortoise]

It was the Princess Royal (Anne) who is the BAFTA patron.

[PROLEFT]

Emma's an absolute gem...a big, bright, sparkling, beautiful gem of an actress, and jewel of a human being. I just love her.

[drowsynumbness]

I agree with you completely, but can't help noticing that Fry could have easily said these words on a comedy show and had everyone in splits.

[lapislazuli7]

Great actresses... thank you for this!

[alma690113]

Emma Thompsom, mi favorita, además es preciosa.

[yesbutnotthat]

GAHHHHHHHH Emma is so incredibly fabulous.

[sjoes]

Ooooh, Jeremy is a bonus there!

[JRRDPR]

Emma is oustanding in every way.

[JoshFi]

I love her comment about Elizabeth Spriggs knowing Jane Austen! LOL.  Spriggs was so great in Sense and Sensibility and I just found out that she passed away last year.

[nostalgic001]

Where's Susan Sarandon?

[fairies47]

Emma Thompson is so funny here! And you should watch her speech for Best Script (Oscars)... It is so funny and intelligent, it shows how she knows deeply Jane Austen's world and words... Great actress!

[elzbieta52]

I remember seeing that speech and thinking how incredibly witty she is. Now, I cannot for the life of me, find it one youtube. Do you or does anyone know what I should type in?

[msinvincible2000]

This woman is wonderful. I adore her!

[Hearnoevil8]

I love Emma Thompson - She and Cate Blanchett are the two women I'd turn gay for! WIt charm, intelligence and beauty - you rarely see a man with these combination!

[swissmartini92]

Absolutely!!!

If you find one anyway, give me a call!! lol

[kimedes008]

I love her speech! she's so funny.:D

[zeppaby]

Nicole Kidman is a fine actress. I am glad she left that talentless dunderhead of a first husband, Tom Cruise. She really shone once she left his ridiculous shadow.

[helendqueen]

Nicole Kidman is an overrated actress

[josephyule]

wtf that is so random

[chiaroo10]

Second that. She has a knack with language. And people. And charm.

Thanks for posting this.

[ImeldaLumos]

I admire her. She owns a wonderful sense of humour, her speeches are always hilarious and brilliant. She has distance to herself and she doesn't take herself too seriously. In every role, she does a new role. Not keep running in the same track, as many other actors/actresses. Her main role in Sense and Sensibility was brilliant. She didn't play a person with much emotions, it's why that scene that's featured here is so sad. Thankyou for uploading this...
