Betty White wins 1987 Comedy Award for Golden Girls

[elijahw06]

Marry me Betty!!

[MrPlanbell]

anyone know where to get this instrumental version of the song(thank you for being a friend) that music sounds quite good

[Wizard488]

Betty had the shortest clip. Hmm.

[KrueMann1992]

Thank You for being Betty White

[sara31tx]

All the Golden Girls are funny but it's Betty and Rue who make me laugh the most!

[johnyzero2000]

Love Miss Betty's dress!!!

[Rebaluvr1234]

She managed to make a joke and be funny & witty, thank the necessary people, give thanks, and be modest in a beautiful way... all in 45 seconds. Love her!

[timebye]

Why the HELL did she not mention RUE /??

Sadddd !!!!!!!

[MsTigerhoney]

@timebye Maybe out of fun :P

[timebye]

@MsTigerhoney

Still hurts me :(

I want them just as happy as they are on tv :)

[SmellyCatSally]

@timebye I'm sure it was a mistake--she says even now that Rue was their 'butterfly' and she brought them such joy. The other two were nominated, which is why she mentioned them, but I don't think she meant anything against Rue. I'd hate to be up there and try to remember names--I'd forget everyone lol.

[blognewb]

4 dislikes ?????

[talknaway1]

I love how 3 out of 4 Golden Girls were nominated!

[JB27611]

They all look really peed off :S

I <3 Betty White!x

[SmellyCatSally]

Estelle Getty or Judge Judy? lol they look the same

[gottamatch]

@SmellyCatSally they do! I've never thought about it before, but it's so true!

[hiphopbunny333]

i love her acceptance speech lol " this is just kind of a put on, lets put the old brood on and lets take it away from her and laugh" XD

[Diaandmia]

aww i love betty:) She looked offended when she won x)

[hiphopbunny333]

@Diaandmia cause she is so humble. i love her lol

[hottieboi1982]

i wish she could be with us forever...she is amazing i hope betty will live 500 years..

[cherfan97]

i love how 3 out of 5 of the nominees were from golden girls:)

[BeCreative20]

@cherfan97 that's how it's supposed to be! :)

Noone was better than they were :)

[Laurencia7]

4 people have been burned by Betty White.

[vcwackenfeld]

when television was worth watching.

[gunakesson]

long live betty white thumbs up

[indigoDroog]

why was rue mclanahan not nominated? 

[XMsPerezX]

I LOVE This Woman(:

[DMSteller87]

Betty is so modest. Every time she wins she has that expression: I don't deserve this. Yes, you do, Betty! Yes you do!

[lee2tre]

All the golden girls were hilarioous, so hard to choose

[jewelsheartsmakeup]

Estelle Getty is so adorable! 

[donaldsoninc]

i see rose marie in the background!

[donaldsoninc]

i see rose marie in the background!

[zenburger]

no one does that pissed off face better than bea arthur

[russia687]

The animation/graphics for this are HORRIBLE...but gotta love Betty. ; )

[mxchic68]

whats so kool is that each one of the girls won an award for the show! so it shows, this show is timeless.. and its one of my fave shows ever.

[Sonicgamer1999]

Man, If I were there I would've been all " YEAH GO BETTY WHITE!!! " lol

[metop33]

Betty looked so sexy there! GILF!

[latinahoney123]

I really like her dress, green is pretty and that's very classy and elegant very cute and age appropriate.

[baronbuttocks2]

wasn't rue nominated?

[jojoxx1231]

@Degenerossi I was born in '95 and I completely agree w/ you! The only current show I watch is "Hot in Cleveland" which has Betty White in it. It's kinda like golden girls but betty's character is the "sophia" type. She is NOT sweet like rose. LOL.

"Golden Girls" is and will remain to be my favorite sitcom!

RIP Bea, Rue, and Estelle! God please keep Betty with us for years to come! My heroes.

[Nicole3900]

@jojoxx1231 I was born in 1995 too, and my friend was born in 1996, and both of us love to watch "Golden Girls"! It's such a great show!! I wish they made shows like that today!!! Now it's all stuff like Jersey Shore, Paris Hilton's New BFF, Bad Girls Club, etc. So stupid.

[TimHallSucksCock]

lol the 80s Betty White was still old even back then

[Davidlp70]

And to think, this was way back in 1987 and Betty was already in show business for 30 years!!!

[tylertyler82]

I love that Rose called them "Beasie" and "Ruesie" I assume they called her "Rosie" in return. Best friends!

[xNikkaX3]

:3 I think all three of them should have won. Even though Betty is my favorite. :]

[Degenerossi]

I was born in '97, and I constantly wish I could grow up in the '80's, it was such a simpler, more beautiful time.. Shows like 'The Golden Girls' we'll probably never see again. Now, all we have is nonsense reality shows, Justin Bieber, and Miley Cyrus...

RIP Estelle, Bea, & Rue! We ALL miss you!

And Long live Betty White! :)

[xleax]

@Degenerossi the 80's had it's pros and cons. Now you can get the Golden Girls on dvd or online.. whereas before I don't even know if they sold these series on VHS..

[MMArancia]

Jeez, it was a Golden Girls battle! Betty looks so pissed that they made her get up and walk over there hahaha, I love her though. All those golden girls.

[duckieluver222]

She was using the name "Beezy" before it was popular. She's such a badass.

[50massivemen]

You know that Golden Girls is an incredible masterpiece, when 3 of the 4 Girls are nominated. If Rue was nominated, it would have been like. "Are choices are: Golden Girls, Golden Girls, Golden Girls, or Golden Girls. :P

[EREX94]

I LOVE BETTY WHITE!

[sasspot1]

Betty white should be in hangover 2!

[sethmusic]

i'd lay in mud for that woman. practically family

[PeachPieMe]

So does this mean Betty was already in her 60's when she won this?? Does not look it!

[mikeyboyuk86]

@PeachPieMe she was already 65 years old, but looks nowhere near!! true legend!!

[RodStewartfan1]

MebenHalpin thanks so much for your wonderful comment. =)

[MeBenHalpin]

She so deserved that award.

[mrfoltz]

I love "all" of them...

[Kate8790]

She looked so shocked. She shouldn't be though. She is awesome. She deserves every award she gets! :)

[grandhilmom]

and she should be every year

[DackIsBack]

The only funny clip in that was Betty White, The rest weren't even puns, They just had canned laughter over them to make Americans think they where funny and laugh along with the idiot box.

[ALLMYHEROSWEARMASKS]

What a sweet, funny, classy lady!

[FRENITJA]

Hi ! Sorry I'm French so there's a just little thing I didn't quite understand. When she goes "the first time for anything is so marvelous I'm..." and she starts singing "I remembeeer", is it because she won a Comedy Award before this one?

[NancyConner]

@FRENITJA This is the first time she has won this award and she's thinking about the first time she had sex. She's remembering fondly.

[FRENITJA]

@NancyConner Thank you very much for the explanation ; )

[sidereally]

estelle was such a cutie.

[GAvillain]

Wow, three out of four Golden Girls were nominated for this award. It makes me wonder why Rue wasn't nominated. She was, IMHO, the funniest Golden Girl (not say the other three weren't funny)

[MeBenHalpin]

@GAvillain That is odd how you nominate three and not the fourth, Rue Mcclanhan deserved just as much nominee as the other three, she was great as Blanche.

[tleatherland]

How can anyone not love Betty White?

[1981bendover]

Bea Arthur didn't look too happy. I wonder if it's because they showed a clip where she was talking about a boys "wee-wee".

[MikeSings82]

@1981bendover haha I think most likely. She was probably thinking, "Of all the clips..."

[cnleiva]

classy lady. <3

[NightxAngell]

Betty looks so stunning here. She's beautiful.

[xlajimex]

what an amazing woman!

[sunshine13BABY]

why does bea look so angry? lol.

either way , i love them all ! Long live the golden girls !

[ammarios]

Is it just me or is there just something so beautiful (and yes, I mean physically) about Betty White? Also, Bea Arthur looked surprisingly good here (not that she doesn't usually, but she looked better than she ever did ON the actual Golden Girls show).

As Betty would say , man I just love these "old broads" lol :-)

[Afroguy1654]

On her way up to get the award why does she look like she doesn't want the award

[bobby200606]

DEL...SERVE IT!...LOL

[RodStewartfan1]

My grandma loved Golden Girls!! We would watch it together when she would babysit for my brother and I when we were little. It still makes me sad that Estelle,Bea,and Rue have passed away and Betty is the only one left. They are all wonderful talented funny women!! I know they're with my grandma in heaven laughing and everything.

[MeBenHalpin]

@RodStewartfan1 That's beautiful and so true in everything you say, what these four women gave us was timeless comedy that only happens once in life time.

[TashaRichardsonFan]

I love Betty White and The Golden Girls:D

[uberlybry]

I would've loved to grow up in 80s!! Golden Girls Forever!! Rue, Bea, Estelle.. wonderful women, they make me laugh. Love them to death!!

[MeBenHalpin]

@uberlybry So would i, i was born the same year it started so i only got to see the last two series in 91 and 92, when i was like 6/7.

[crkt75]

23 yrs ago, amazing

[jriley2008]

it would've been just perfect if she would've said "back in st. olaf, i was always nominated for awards: queen bee, milk the cow, etc, etc", not really that but something really funny...

but her speech was great either way. she is a legend!!!!!!!! RIP RUE, BEA, ESTELLE!

now they all 4 won an award for golden girls!!!!!!!!!!

[kuzcat]

they should have all won in this order: estelle, bea, rue, betty! funniest ever, everyone else will never come close. ever.

[SexyLiLLeilaniMya]

LMAO

[doctorariel]

A class act all the way.

[christian1669]

hahah oh bea, nice look, great sketch, love the way you look girl! Estelle, you are one amazingly funny wonam, Betty, I have to say your the only one that cracks me up, haha hot flash and weather front:P

[quentina08]

lmao! Rose is so Effing Funny!

[genniferpowers]

Did she just call Bea Arthur..."Bezzy"...? Hilarious....LOL

[robertsnowden19]

@genniferpowers Yeah and she called Rue Mcclanahan "Ruezzy".......So as you can tell they all were very close!

[stads24]

My God, all these old shows! LOL

[beatseeker18]

:) love her to pieces

[ty2]

Blanche was not nominated! That is not fair! Everyone from Golden Girls was nominated except blanche. They deserved it though she did too. I agree with the Betty White win, but Blanche on golden Girls is hilarious. They should have just nominated the whole Golden Girls cast. It is definitely one of the greatest sitcoms ever.

[MeBenHalpin]

@ty2 I think it was unfair that she missed out, the whole success of the show was based on teamwork and that included the wonderful performance of Rue Mcclanhan as Blanche.

[Mobee211]

best show ever

[hankseptember]

@Mobee211 ageed!

[1971chrismiller]

I was outside the theater and met Betty White when it was over. I did, I really did. I was about sixteen years old. This was the night.

[almeeranathoo]

@1971chrismiller Thats amazing!

[1971chrismiller]

@almeeranathoo yeah, it was and I'll never forget it.

[MeBenHalpin]

@1971chrismiller Yeah what was she like, she was wonderful as Rose.

[1971chrismiller]

@MeBenHalpin Oh yeah, she is like super UBER nice. I just wonder if she'll remember me. I doubt it, but people say I'm unforgettable.

[MeBenHalpin]

@1971chrismiller Mind you 23 years is long time, still great that you met her though, where did this awards ceremony take place.

[1971chrismiller]

@MeBenHalpin I don't remember the name of theater but it was catty corner from Gower Gulf, I know because was walking disatance from our place at the time.

[JoanCollins2009]

She was and is still lovely , how good looking was she there? truly amazing I LOVE HER SO MUCH

[josejoeyolivarez]

now that is an acceptance speech!

[dinevijver]

rue won next year!

[shesaid777]

it's impossible for me not to smile when I see Betty. Iconic amazing amazing woman with an amazing heart and soul. love her

[TheNeonAngel]

omg she was so funny and charming in her speech!

[eepruls]

Man, it must have been hard for Rue McClanahan who was the only Golden Girl not nominated.

[TheNeonAngel]

yeah and she was more funny then estelle getty in my opinion

[Sextimus23]

@eepruls She eventually got nominated and by the end of the series all of them won.

[eepruls]

@Sextimus23 Awesome, that cast really deserved it. They were a great example of great writing meeting great acting = GOLD!

[MKemmi]

i love the golden girls and betty white! she´s a wonderful comedian! greets from germany!

[UnderThisSmile]

"Estelle and Beasley". Hahahaha.

[246Sparkle]

She is still great... She is still famous and well known three generations later... :)

[HSUProductionCompany]

i love the version of the golden girls theme they did here.

[bdshank]

Betty White is awesome, she has grace and class, and is funny as hell! She is great

[thefrozencharles]

She really freaking charming! a "doll"

[llamalauren]

Poor Blanche was the only one who didn't get nominated xD

[Shanniquitie]

she won a golden globe

[munmik67]

Estelle looked so young without her make up

[gbraae]

:DDDDD So funny - and so adorable!!!

[RWDtech]

wow epic fail, 3 of the nominees were from the same show

[ivegotalongdong]

testimony to how awful TV actually was. all but one (julia duffy) were on the same network

[xxcharmed1xx]

Bea looked just so thrilled to be there!!

[sbabe325]

@xxcharmed1xx That is the funniest thing I've read all day LOL

[dewbunny110362]

she tops the hideous shelley long anydayt

[storrs19]

The Golden Girls had three of the five nominees. That's pretty damned good. Won't see a program like that ever again. A perfect show with a perfect cast.

[GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

Such Class!

[gmman010983]

i think that estelle getty was so cute in real life....she was a fox in her younger years but also aged well that many of us wouldn think with her playing sophia lol...

[Vitaminlove1212]

bea was so serious...

[timothyscottgilbert]

they all were great!!!!

[bundyanna]

God she's hilarious. "I rememberrrr..."

[xKimxMeganxMerylx]

BEASY!!!! omg, I LOVE Betty. So cute!! ^^

[keishaca]

This is great, I'm a big fan. Thanks for posting this!

[finallysometruth]

she wouldn't have won this award back in ST.OLAF!HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~~!

[bubblinbrownsugar616]

LMAO!! LMAO!! That would be one story spared for Dorothy, Blanche and Sophia!!! LMAO!!!

[finallysometruth]

@bubblinbrownsugar616 LOLOL!!!

[seanhayesbaby]

OHHHHHHH what a sweet lady! God Love her!

[GoodWitchen]

This lady is a true class act.  I love her.

[Acevmk1fan4ever]

Beasy!!!!!! RIP we love you!

[thelindsayrose05]

shes beautiful this was the year i was born i was raised with golden girls

[damanray]

lol in 1987 Rue won her emmy and yet her she isn't even nominated. Totally agree she should have been nominated that was her best season i think

[realmuscle19]

she is so great! beasy lol cute!

[1Vella]

Oh poor Rue, only she wasn't nominated! I love Betty White, but she could have mentioned her in her speech....

[haffira]

what did she call Bea? Beasy? Lol... too cute!!

[FiddleDeeDee2]

I just love how she has a nickname for everyone! :)

[lienmang1]

They wouldn't have needed to give it to GG entire cast because over the years they each won one.

[MissGarland18]

wow, Bea looks so pretty at 0:27 even though she isn't smoling, and so does Betty, gosh and so does Estelle. This is a good find =)

[okodravca]

she said old broad rofl

[RazorCardz01]

lol I love her opening joke. Everything about her speech is so thoughtful, not like nowadays.

I was almost expecting her to say "Back in St. Olaf..." XD

[arlichar11]

golden girls is great cast..but dang rue got shaft butr she wasnt that funny....but what other shows had funny ladys  that year????

[MTPippin]

such class

[AnotherCompartment]

what about rue?

[mkrobinson95]

She wasn't nominated ... she was only referring to the other two who were nominated from the show. Very classy

[orawal]

im didnt know betty won over estelle and bea! dang girl! :)

[FiddleDeeDee2]

Betty looks GORGEOUS!!

[Ghalion99]

bea looked pissed when she was nominated not even a smile

[kanenite1985]

maybe she thought that they should've picked a funnier clip

[collinnc2001]

I agree

[JoshFi]

I wonder why Rue wasn't nominated!

[CTWcauseiMissyou]

she probably won hers prior cause al fourof them won one each

[musicaltheatergeek79]

They each won an Emmy (Bea, Rue, Betty as Best Actress in a Comedy, and Estelle for Supporting Actress), I don't know about American Comedy Award, which is what's presented here. Interestingly, Rue won her Emmy the same year as this, 1987.

[missxish]

she is the best !

[MistressEbony]

I wish the golden girls' acceptance speeches were included on DVDs as special features. I forgot how pretty Estelle was without the Sophia make-up.

[MarcianBree12]

Now, these award shows were good back then. I'm glad Betty one!:)

[carterfrvr]

great speech!

[50massivemen]

I love the fact that 3 of the Golden Girls were nominees. that is so awesome. went to show just HOW good they were.

BEA ARTHUR, BETTY WHITE and ESTELLE GETTY. and of course RUE MCCLANAHAN. 3/4that is really awesome

[supadupaluv]

i luv her speech lmao

[Hijodelaisla]

Love that "old broad"

[ABridgeTooFar101st]

BETTY WHITE is the best but rue should have got a nomination she was deadly
