Kathy Bates winning Best Actress

[sylarsystem]

she is such a great actress!

[dovesrun]

Love her dress, she looked so elegant. The best part of the presentation was Daniel Day-Lewis. He is so fine.

[pbf19]

Wow someone actually beat Meryl Streep! lol, this was a well deserved win for Kathy

[xDelacroixsx]

after reading book and watch film you can say:

She deserved.-

[Relvolver64]

I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE WON THE COCK-A-DOODY AWARD!

[missuniworld]

Kathy Bates RULES!

[ButtHaver1993]

No standing ovation? WTF? I honestly think this is one of the best leading actress performances ever.

[MaskedTehGamer]

@ButtHaver1993

It was her first leading movie many actors and actresses did not know her

[cantool]

LOL she kissed 2 guys on the mouth back to back

[djmbjork]

@cantool are you 7 years old?



[miss20sa11]

wow she well and truly deserved it o_O the crazy bitch !!!! lol

[achrismascarol]

"And apologize publicly for the ankles" LOL!!!

[marneebox]

My nominees:

Kathy Bates,"Misery"(WINNER)

Anjelica Huston,"The Grifters"

Michelle Pfeiffer,"The Russia House"

Julia Roberts,"Pretty Woman"

Meryl Streep,"Postcards from the Edge"

[999jimboy999]

She deserved it!!!

[sciomni2008]

just saw the movie, she deserved it 

[RegisPhilbinFan]

LOL the streepster is in every osacr video on youtube WTH

[iseeyouclarice]

I have NO clue why Meryl was nominated for Postcards from the Edge. Her performance was great, as usual, but she really didn't bring anything THAT special to it...

[hbk19940108]

Is that the "Best Cry Ever" guy in 0:58?

[AETutorials42]

@hbk19940108

No, it's Danny Glover. 

[TaraAshleyTWILIGHT21]

WTF no standing ovation??? Anyways well deserved, and I must say she looked beautiful

[camporosso]

What a GREAT movie! Well done Kathy!

[uke52]

just watched misery, she freaked me the fuck out, definitely deserved the win lol

[00hammad]

Hollywood  used to be so Glamorous , but now we have the Twilight stars , The Kardashians and Lindsy Lohan

[AdrianWillis]

@00hammad Not on Oscar night we don't. I don't get why you compare Kathy Bates, Julia, Daniel to Kardashian, Twilight etc.??? They'll never NEVER EVER stand on that stage glamourous and with an Oscar in their hands. Have you ever even seen the Oscars? Or was it MTV Movie Awards cause there they might have a chance...

[rambolean]

that kiss was pornographic

[harleyqish0t]

i was expecting her to do that thing where they go the wrong way, then be like"Oh' and go the other way

[harleyqish0t]

i was expecting someone in a "Go Annie/Kathy" shirt staand up clap and be like

"whoooooo, go Kathy whoooooooo!"

*everyone stops clapping but him/her

"Whhoooooo, yeah whoooooo"

[pacificpower98]

@RevolutionFist You're her biggest fan. ;)

[STONECOLD1987]

Kathy Bates certainly deserved that Oscar!

[KatherineDePattinson]

Kathy deserved that movie was really good

[jwhiskyjar]

I'm her number one fan.I'm her number one fan.I'm her number one fan.I'm her number one fan.I'm her number one fan.I'm her number one fan.I'm her number one fan.I'm her number one fan.I'm her number one fan.I'm her number one fan.I'm her number one fan.I'm her number one fan.I'm her number one fan.I'm her number one fan.I'm her number one fan.I'm her number one fan.

[niloh96]

@jwhiskyjar "That's Sweet"

[Alexaty5]

she's just wowwwwwwwww! please bring her back to the movies!!! she's an awesome actress, i miss actings like this, we need legends too these days

[9419mari]

Amazing Kathy in Misery! One of the best interpretation ever!!

[9419mari]

Amazing Kathy in Misery!!!!! Lovely movie!

[Misteron20]

And then they snubbed her by totally ignoring Dolores Claiborne.

[516Gucci222]

Kathy bates was good in Misery.

[lenrfrjyatnrfq]

omg Daniel is SO hot!!

[iltenorecubano]

Well deserved! a very powerful performance ;)

[southernbrooklyngal]

love kathy! dan is soooooooo hot!

[MJ4ever911]

I love Kathy Bates and Meryl Streep :D :p

[beardedlantern]

anyone else watch this because it was in the suggestions after watching misery?

[derriev1967]

@beardedlantern yes I am.

Roberto from Italy

[mervin233]

I watched this movie for the first time a few days ago. She was very good and I`m not surprised she won an Oscar. When I saw her on Piers I had a new respect for her but always liked her anyway.

[Havoc5487]

I would be scared as FUCK if I was in that crowd

[MichaelChapman18]

@RevolutionFist not unless you've called someone a dirty bird

[MarChiville]

20 years have passed?????

[burgernfrysyo]

I'd like thank my catering service for.... EVERYTHING!!!! Im full (insert fat smiley emoticon here).

[NinaLuxful]

Phenomenal actress!

[SteveJ2008]

Annie Wilkes is one of the greatest screen villains of all time, largely due to Bates' iconic performance. Definitely a well deserved Oscar.

[teenagefirework1]

there were alot of tough competition this year!

[Brickhouseent]

"I really am your biggest fan, Jimmy" Clever

[ccipollini1984]

Daniel day Louis is hotter then I gave him credit for. He looks Native american here.

[gazirinth]

Well deserved..A brilliant performance with real acting, not CGI and special effects

[trackaghost]

They got it right that year.

[hjb103055]

I actually got tears.

[kamwrites]

Kathy Bates is beautiful.

[Alfito83]

Huston was fantastic!

[flashforwardSeasons]

towanda! xD

[joeydemierda]

I swear to God each time I see an acceptance speech amongst the nominees is Meryl streep

[ayngmn79]

One of the most underrated actress in hollywood. If only she looked more beautiful she would be as popular as meryl streep.

[Ninaofthe90s]

0:55 Roger Murtaugh!! XD

[TheWCWite]

Kathy is so great.

[DarkImage11]

she has a beautiful smile 

[AreYouOthman]

Did She kiss the two men in the mouth ?

[moviegeek75]

I think that if she would have been nominated for Titanic, I think Titanic would have walked away with 12 that night.

[theballer04]

Right at about 0:58 Danny Glover says he's getting too old for this shit.

[janoski915]

@theballer04 so funny

[tall32guy]

In all of these Oscars videos, this one being no exception, I love the work of *everyone* nominated and wish they ALL could get Oscars! :) They are all talented and amazing actors in their own right.

[cartergirl3of3]

Don't get me wrong, I like like Julia Robert's and Pretty woman is a classic and one of my fav movies but I don't think she should have been nominated for an Oscar. Compared to some performances that have been given and have won and not won Oscars, her performance just doesn't stand up. it was funny and witty. but if anything she was being herself in some thigh high boots and a thong.

[briarboy79]

@cartergirl3of3 I couldn't agree more. It was not an oscar-worthy performance by Julia Roberts.

[reptongeek]

It's interesting that she thanks the cast of Misery (after James Caan), if memory serves she only worked with one actor in the movie!!

[nunotraumas]

@reptongeek She worked with Richard Farnsworth too, and the cast behind scenes were together even if they weren't sharing scenes on screen.

[baronessdouglass]

She collected and carried herself so well! How was she not a wreck?

[Troboughbo]

All the ankles in that theater would have been fucked if she lost.

[TheJevb69]

Dirty Birdy.

[alicena786]

misery was a hit

[lolizorz]

the movie "misery" really made me to hate her...even in this video she's annoying and i still think she's crazy ,maybe thats a good actor:-?

[snowflakesiamese]

I loved both Dolores Claiborne and Misery and I agree she should've gotten an Oscar for both!!Amazing actress would love to see her in more roles likes these.

[shadowfrost91]

Congrats to Kathy Bates. I'm her number one fan.

[christianne1975]

I love Kathy Bates. Not only is she an excellent actresss, but I love people who are great and still not take themselves too seriously. She was in "The Waterboy" after this and I totally LOVED her!

[toobevr1244]

Well deserved...she was really wacko in that movie!

[gaykid80]

Amazing actress and a much-deserved oscar! Such a great movie after all these years... Congrats from an Italian fan (one of the many)

[MullParsha]

ha ha 2 of the nominees weren't there because they knew they wouldn't win haha

[kharelnirmal]

im a big fan of kathy bates

[TheNemmit]

one of my favorite movies of all time! Misery is amazing and so is Kathy :D

[DanimalLawlz]

I love her so much! Want her in my family

[ADEMruinedmylife909]

"And apologise publicly for the ankles" XD

Kathy Bates - How to accept an Oscar with dignity and humour (and I love what she's wearing too).

[GENEFGMK]

Those people laughing at her joke seen the movie!

[dvlaries]

20 years later it's still as entertaining a movie, and Bates' performance the central reason why. A win doesn't get any more deserved than that.

[clashrogers]

2 people didn't get out of the cock-a-doodie car!

[duckwrangler]

How long was Daniel Day Lewis making LAST OF THE MOHICIANS for - he had the same hairstyle the year before when he won picked up his Oscar for MY LEFT FOOT

[nunotraumas]

@duckwrangler ya know he's a very extreme method actor, he started on Hawkeye a year before "Last of the Mohicans" started production, living in the woods to get into character... so he was into character (and the hairstyle) for about 2 years.

[dldee912]

No standing ovation?!!!!!!!

[Dancerama6]

like this if her thumb was bothering you...

[Rat1993a]

she was brilliant and one with the best winners in this category

[philipc67]

Superb performance and a deserved win. She is not a superstar diva, has played small roles and character roles. A real actress and a great lady.

[mariahfan999]

this is what she should've ended it with:

"and there's one thing i'd like to say. i'm the academy's number one fan."

[Jade7843498]

she is really beautiful...

[Jade7843498]

beautifuuul <3

[IamLegendTV22]

she's so beautiful and talented, what a acting genius misery was fantastic

[Sadowski40]

She was great in that movie she so deserved that Oscar!!

[KingofPepsi]

In the actual Academy Awards broadcast, they actually showed clips from each film, not stills. This video made it look that way.

[concalo]

she's excellent! 

[arabia1980]

looking so stunning in that Jeff Billings dress...

[pixarian]

Kathy should have had a second Oscar with Dolores Claiborne.

[guntherbladderburst]

@pixarian Agreed.

[orbit3386]

@pixarian I totally agree

[Marchant2]

@pixarian I wholeheartedly agree with that one!

[radudeATL]

@pixarian YES! What a fantastic performance in that movie!

[briarboy79]

@pixarian So incredibly true! She was awe-inspiring in that role as well; along with many other roles. She's just a truly amazing actress.

[PeaceFan1]

@pixarian SO TRUE !! xo

[JSBowen73]

@pixarian

I agree.  She was great in that.

[Gonken88]

couldn't have deserved it more. I hate her characters but I love cathy bates =). and she looks really good when she doesn't play a psycho. ladylike.

[missjacko1]

One of the most deserving oscars ever, her performance was amazing.

[ADEMruinedmylife909]

Kathy....I'm your BIGGEST fan! :)

[bludman2]

@ADEMruinedmylife909 in the movie it is "I'm your NUMBER ONE fan"

[bwqlrfunny]

lol im her number 1 fan.. :L

[BMX90]

Perfect speech!

[asongforxx456]

people dont give Julia Roberts enough credit,she is such an amazing actress.

[drxwnedxwxrld]

Haha Annie Wilkes' picture of her about to grab you

[filmfan09]

1 person is a "Cockadoodie."

[xbatmuffin]

xD Meryl Streep is nominated every single time I watch one of these. She's totally amazing. This was definitely Kathy's win, though! Congrats!

[ShhutUpMeg]

Her performance in Misery was outstanding. I think it would have been crazier than Annie Wilkes if she hadn't won that oscar, she totally deserved it! I think she should have won an oscar for her performance in Rat Race too. lol She was only in it for all of 5 seconds and she totally owned the whole film! if you are able to do that then you are truely talented, she's amazing!

[thetriptobountiful]

hmmm, i think this is the only video concerning Oscars where there is little criticism about " oh that actress should have won instead, or or she didn't deserve it etc" if you agree, thumps up :)

[nunotraumas]

Classic speech and very deserving winning, the best of the bunch

[atomichead777]

Go Kathy! you really did an outstanding job!

I am your #1 fan. (wink)

[cerystalkstoyouall]

@atomichead777 LOL!

[sest5612]

memorable character. KATHY BATES IS THE BEST!

[Nimzo33]

"...and apologize publicly for the ankles" rofl!

[refinedred]

What's the story behind Kathy's Dad?

[JOJO22858]

I am so happy that Kathy Bates won an Oscar for MISERY. She did something very

unusual with the character of Annie Wilkes, which is that she made a horrible

person doing horrible things seem sympathetic and oddly endearing. I think she

played one of the loneliest characters of all time, and nobody could have done it

any better than the magnificent Kathy Bates!!

[OmegaPiggy77]

0:45 is the face of "im glad i just won and have to get up now cuz i just ripped some SERIOUS ass."

[SFallonMusic]

Jesus christ... Daniel Day Lewis looks like Fabio!

[OscarDelSanto]

A truly accomplished actor and a lovely lady!

[blueboy962000]

Kathy Bates' Tennessee accent isn't quite as pronounced here as it was in the film. Was she putting on the accent for the film?

[capurera2]

@blueboy962000 duh

[SuperHeroMania]

LOL, why'd she roll her eyes for? Was this her 100th acceptance speech she had to face

[docthewatchdog]

@SuperHeroMania Nah, I think it's because she was just so glad all that suspense was over.

[ericmaine]

@SuperHeroMania - Actually, she only won the Chicago Film Critics award, and the Golden Globe previously. Most 'front runners' in Best Actress would have won many other awards (New York Film Critics, Screen Actors Guild, ect). This was a surprise to her, and probably everyone else too. They eyeroll was probably more of a "I can't believe I just won"

[ShhutUpMeg]

@SuperHeroMania I believe this was one of her first oscar wins if not the first. She was rolling her eyes in relief! it must have been bloody nerve racking for her! could you not tell how nervous she was when she was clapping? she couldn't stop! lol also, in an interview she stated that the oscar was never a goal she set her mind to, she just wanted to act to the best of her ability and it paid off.

[blueguitarblue]

This is a pity. What a shame. "Pretty Woman" considered for an Oscar? That is a moronic formulaic movie. I have lost all respect for this award. I like Julia Roberts. But that script is a joke. Nothing artistic or lasting...

[conorsmitheire]

omg WHY did julia roberts get an oscar nomination for her shitty performance in pretty woman?!?!?!?! WTF LIKE

[asongforxx456]

@conorsmitheire

her performance was wonderful, she almsot deserved the award in my opinion

[TayInTheWay]

I'm a fan of 'Misery' but never thought Kathy Bates's performance was Oscar-worthy. Her performance in 'Dolores Claiborne,' on the other hand...

[LouieArmstronggg]

@TayInTheWay I sooo agree!

[cdrixon]

Shoulder pads are back, baby!

[rmluv]

that was a great speech. some people aren't prepared at all or are too prepared. but she did a great job, especially for thanking stephen king for writing it in the first place. loved misery!

[loghen01]

1:13



[EthLover93]

Daniel Day Lewis' hair looks like Braveheart

[mensahcarrelle]

Kathy Bates you should know this : I'm your number 1 fan ;)

[ofdiscordia]

I would like to thank Jimmy Caan, and apologize publicly for the ankles, and I would like to say that I really am your number one fan, Jimmy.

EPIC SPEECH!

[1225grl]

she so deserved that oscar! she was outstanding in misery. I'm always a fan if anything she does.

[themooddisorders]

@1225grl Kathy is always good! Even in the Waterboy

[missfabulesso]

@1225grl her number one fan? :)

[2877378]

GREAT !!

[wiccan78]

once when I watched Misery I fell asleep and woke up just when Annie is standing over Paul saying: You killed my misery! OMG that was very scary; I felt like she was standing over me ;)

[wuyiting]

"I'd like to thank Jimmy Caan, and apologize publicly for the ankles." Go Kathy, best one-liner evah!

[syncm]

Classy lady! Well deserved too. 

[BigOldMrKnish]

she's just a big'ol COCKADOODEE!

[manderas]

Kathy Bates is for sure one of my faves actresses , Meryl Streep , Susan Sarandon all are great ! love them

[percyrusty]

fucking brillballs!! beyond amazing performance...when she oinked like a pig....thats just raw art!!!!

[regidude]

1 person had their ankles broken

[TheLovelylove]

I came her for DDL,lol. But Kathy Bates Rocks!

[fiore56aol]

She looks absolutely stunningly beautiful! No one today at the Academy Awards can compare.

[incubuscritter]

very well deserved

[Kessler1996]

She looked stunning in that dress; a really phenomenal performance in 'Misery' (1990).

[carlosthomasfernande]

SO THIN SHE WAS omg

[Eyeglompyou]

She deserved the oscar =D Bless her heart!

[ilonka311]

I love Kathy Bates.

[fowzie777]

you know....she looks damn good.....

[md991free]

I love Kathy Bates and she so deserved to win that Oscar for that movie. She was top notch!!!

[bobobba442]

James Caan couldn't attend as he was in the hospital having surgery.
