[andydenson2000]

That's what I'm doing, making one long movie!

[madbeetz11]

aw heath.

[MissGarland20]

Aw there's Dolly!!! LOL, wasn't expecting her to just pop up there. Her and Lily are tight...And Meryl, love her very much, one of my favorites. Most award things like this I don't like, because they run and and no one gets it, but these two are workin it and the crowds likin it haha =)

[MariieeWasoski]

He was a amazing director!! RIP

[nativewizard]

altman is truely one of the greatest directors ever! and apparently was a stoner too, that kicks ass!

[raulsantiago58]

was a greait director

[herminkei]

HEATH LEDGER <3

[MspedzRN]

Meryl and Lily co host of the Oscars next year

[devilwearsprada8]

"He's examined the minute particular of human behaviour and he's doing right now and he's dying for us" Great quote

Go Meryl <3

[cleekfilms]

I imagine the beginning went over a lot of the audiences heads.

Ruffless Records, You have no idea of cinema; take a look at "Short Cuts" and learn about it.

[urkusklan]

Ruffless Records, You have no fucking idea of cinema; take a lokk at "Short Cuts" and learn about it.

[inrwizards]

what the hell is jennifer anniston doing there? im tired of seeing random movie stars as a seat fillers. arnold swartzeneger, now this? when does it end?!

[WorthyTraitor]

Goodness I heart Lily Tomlin's work.

[vocm10]

THE PLAYER is the best

[RuflessRecords]

Robert Altman was overhyped crap. Look at his filmography, a bunch of no-good junk. Too bad the space he occupied couldn't have been taken up by someone else making better movies for 50 years. OC & Stiggs? Dr T. and the Women? Brewster McCloud?

Drugs is the only thing that can explain how this guy ever got a career.

His "greatest" films: MASH, nothing special, The Long Goodbye, a bore all the way thru.

Scorcese, Spielberg, etc yes; Altman mmmm no.

[lamentate07]

@RuflessRecords You are being selective here. Nashville's approach to story telling was years ahead of its time. that multiple narrative format didn't become the norm again until the 90's. McCabe and Mrs Miller is brilliant too. I also like 'Short Cuts' and 'Images'

He did make a lot of crap though, i'll give you that, but when he was in top form, he was as good as just about anyone, at least in America anyway.

[tobimontana69]

@RuflessRecords Spielberg and Scorsese are great directors to start with, but Altman is more advanced cinema. You'll learn to appreciate it in time.

[kovvvas]

@RuflessRecords Shirley, you can't be serious! Not even drugs can explain your embarassing comment.

[iiiiiccccc]

I love it... Robert Altman is a legend. Too bad he died shortly after this speech... amazing director, amazing way of thinking. R.I.P. (oh and Meryl and Lily are divine together)

[meryldepp]

Poor Robert.. yes it was over.. your last movie was A Prairie.. amazing job, funny as hell in that speech. And THANKG GOD for Meryl Streep who is the classy and funnier woman on earth ! xx

[yerbibby]

read this... this will be chris nolan in 35 year

[rodazi]

Peyote buttons, lol

[thewomaninthemoon]

GORGEOUS MERYL!

[thewomaninthemoon]

Haha this is hilarious!Meryl and Lily are a brilliant comedy team.And Meryl looks fuckin GORGEOUS!

[shuckslbj]

Poor Robert Altman. Despite what he said here, he was obviously ailing.

[superguyguyguyguy]

To bad it took the Academy forever to give Altman an Oscar. And then he died like a year later. M*A*S*H is on of my all time favorites and so is Short Cuts is great to.

[numidia2107]

Hahahahahaha!! God.. So funny... Merl & Lily LoL... =D

[MissNuggy]

I love Robert Altman, I love Lily Tomlin, I adore Meryl Streep (she looks soooo hot in that dress)... So "A Prairie Home Companion" was the perfect movie and simply a masterpiece.

I enjoyed every second. Love to watch it again and again. It never gets bored.

Finally Altman got the award he deserved, sadly he passed away the same year. But his work will always be here forever.

What a funny introduce by Meryl and Lily and what a great speech by Altman.

[nualajnr]

Any idea where Meryl got her dress????It's stunning....!!!Would love it for my graduation!......

[masterofallhalo]

Meryl Streep...GIMME SOME TEETS!

-Simon Adebisi (1997)

[92af]

Robert Altman was a awesome director

[XxlovemerylstreepxX]

Meryl looks gorgoues there love her dress

this speech from Meryl and Lily is pretty funny

[MSsince1997andalways]

So awsome...... there is nothing more I can say about it..... Incredibly amazing......

[MSsince1997andalways]

So awsome...... there is nothing more I can say about it..... Incredibly amazing......

[MSsince1997andalways]

Hi, I see that my comment has been cut out, so I'm doing another one..... This is freaking funny.... OMG..... Totally awsome..... I cannot stop laughing...... Lily is pretty awsome and Meryl,come on.... No comments about that, right ? So.....

[Plasvi]

Lily Tomlin and Meryl Streep...! WOW! ;)

[boguslaav]

@Plasvi yeah! They look so georgous together:)

[bluewingtip]

Excellent!! Excellent!!! Thanks for posting!!!!!

[brattette]

i have been LOOKING for this forever! tomlin and streep on that stage is pure entertainment. its just brilliant! so good...loved it. and altman too of course ahahaha...don't ever take this down you!! please!

[blahsecrewyoublah]

Sally Kellerman and Lily Tomlin should have presented this award.

Streep only starred in Prairie Home Companion. Tomlin and Kellerman are thee Altman Actresses.

[nualajnr]

Ironical....brilliant!!

[usmanalipms2]

Who's the gorgeous girl at 6:32?

[volchara81]

winona ryder

[usmanalipms2]

thx

[isfahan333]

Keira Knightley

[DarkChild91]

its keira knightley, she has been in a portion of famous films, like the three pirates of the caribbean, atonement, and many others.... she was also nominated for an oscar for pride and prejudice, the very night when altman got his honorary oscar. hope it helps;)

[usmanalipms2]

thanks buddy,

[usmanalipms2]

thx

[christopherhoughton1]

A great American filmmaker.

[TIPTON340]

It ironical that his last film was about departures and death and he recieves this oscar that really represents his brilliant career reaching it's end. But Altman kept pushing the envolope til the end.

[dan564891]

he he, ironical....

[bigzooweek]

he died 9 months later

[tpjl25]

I love you Lily!

I love you Meryl!

I miss you Robert!

[mezmerizeddxD]

it's all yours mommy. i love that!!!

[toReasonWhy]

I also adore how they flipped cam to catherine keener and amy adams toward the end of his speech-- their awed faces are exactly how I felt.

[toReasonWhy]

Holy crap, does a master of film ever know how to be a master of speech. That was as brilliant as his movies.

[giggiwearsprada]

"stick to the script"

"i AM meryl ... oh my god!"

lol.

they are so funny together :)

[giggiwearsprada]

"stick to the script!"

"i AM meryl!"

lol.

they are so funny together :)

[Mammamiacrazy123]

hah i love you meryl

[angel585]

lol "the extended zooms" Tomlin says xD

[mapscannotcontainme]

Very funny intro and a touching speech, but I can't help but think it would have been a little more appropriate to thank that woman for signing her donor card during when he was thanking people.

[Moondancer883]

ahahahha! I love when she goes it's all yours mommy, my mom calls me mom as a term of endearment

[matoso1984]

Meryl and Lilly are the best.Funny as hell

[Tadek59]

Wow pleasant and funny video !

I like Robert Altman !

Thanks for share ubuibiok !

5*****

[Hannibal47666]

He should won the Oscar for "Gosford Park".

[grantapuslafsalot]

I I dont like meryl streepp!

[i4s6drt57fugh]

Then don´t watch this!

[aprilwearsgucci]

Seriously who couldn't like Meryl. She's not only the best actress ever but she's funny as hell.

[Tintilu]

Well to some moviegoers it seems as if the popcorn theyve just been munching has suddenly turned into peyote buttons.

[laurejaese]

i love meryl to the max! forever!

[VictoriaN012]

"did i say nashville" "yes" "it bares repeating"...haha Lily and Meryl are freakin hilarious!

[Valapaca]

I don't know what the caneraman was thinking when Roberts starts talking about the heart transplant and the show Catherine Keener, she's around that age..early fourty's.

[davidchandlermatt]

I love Robert Altman ! He's such a man !! I watched "Short Cuts" and I loved it !

[Tigerlily21]

Meryl looked IMO the most beautiful she ever looked that night at the Oscars.

Oh and Robert Altman is one of my favorite directors ever. Nashville and McCabe and Mrs Miller are easily in my top 20 films of all time. Love the man's work. RIP.

[Countrygalfeva]

I saw a short glimpse of Dolly Parton! i'm sooooooo happy, my 2 fave women in the same video at last! Dolly and Meryl!

[MammaMeryl]

they are so funny and meryl is a beaut!

[mrcinema01]

Meryl is the best ever!

[Ohhaloo]

wow, Michelle williams, what a beauty!!

[loveistoshare]

Meryl is a Godess

[18Dulcedeleche]

Michelle Williams looks BEAUTIFUL 1:28

So sad to see Heath Ledger, though--I can't help but get teary-eyed...Only 3 years ago!

[blinkzone1]

i love Altman i miss him a lot he was a great fillmaker a GREAT filmmaker!

[lydiadezwart]

I love Meryl!

[jespero93]

isnt that heath ledger at 3:36 ?

[delysid22]

I've seen only few movies from robert altman but I love the man and his spirit

[ritokas3]

Meryl is so beautiful

[cool9000]

I love this!!!!!!!!!!

[sara09890]

oh man, meryl is the best!

love this! love her, really :P lol

[EntFan1]

they were just like sisters! like in the movie prairie come home. brilliant!

[issyvoo2]

Sisters? Well, yes, in the movie. But that hug looks more like lovers than sisters. What a pair they would make but Tomlin's wife and Streep's husband might object.

[EntFan1]

really u think so? well they seem close. lol

[nkristen19]

It's all yours mommy

[shortcake134]

meryl is hilarious =] i love her!!

[violinist391]

That was the best presentation I ever seen.

No lie. I laughed my butt off!

[defyingGravity87]

Robert altman's the man! He is one amazing director. "3 women" is one of my favorite movies.

[CHUICHRIS]

one of the greatest American directors ever

[OneWayTV]

You were the greatest. RIP BOB.

[jayzhelle]

[royalxanadu]

[kblixt]

[Kraucik83]

[suckerdwsp316]

She was always hot! 2008, 2006, 1978, she's timelesss .....

[shortcake134]

true!

[nkristen19]

You know the Movie Meryl was in called Death Becomes Her well that potion worked well.+ It's True SHE'S SMOKIN

[mattjblythe01]

God, I hate Reese Witherspoon. Nod and smile, bitch. HE DOESN'T NEED YOU.

[dickhalloran]

poor Altman, he said "it's not over" but at that point he never made another movie, prairie home companion was already finished, so in fact it was over.

[billysscreeningroom]

I've made a film about the entire film career of Robert Altman. Please check it out!

[AdArmand]

HURRAH! I adore 3 Women (Spacek and S. Duvall).

[thatoneasiankid]

meryl streep looked gorgeous!

[TheRepresentative]

3:36: Heath Ledger

[Tsippi]

The Three Stooges should win this year's Honorary Oscar. They set the bar for comedy on films.

[jackieonassis]

Fabulous! I adore these two :)

[1650million]

Excellent. Thank you.

[rkau8671]

oh, i saw this Academy Awards Show before but i forgot about it...but nevermind Robert Altman is absolutely a genius!!!!!!! his films deeply move me to tears and make me fall in love with the film over and over again!!!!!!!!

That last statement is incredibly depressing.

[ksmred2]

Can we have a video of Sidney Lumet receiving his honarary oscar?

[birdienest81]

Meryl and Lily were sooo hilarious. And kudos to a great artist, Robert Altman. The Tom Landry (legendary Cowboys coach) of directors.

[BacktotheFutureVids]

Meryl Streep is awesome! She done a great job in Mamma Mea! Love it!

[luliashdisney]

i love oscars

[john33186]

damnn look heath ledger, two years later he will died.

[tweetydirector]

This was a most deserved award. He is really great!

[tweetydirector]

These two are funny! Wonderful piece!

[sjc191]

these two are so not funny, they're trying so hard to be funny, typical Americans

[flmbyz]

Wow, you really don't know anything about Robert Altman, do you? Altman's trademark was overlapping dialog and improvisation, which is what they're paying homage to.

[john33186]

yeah buddy you don't know shit.

[Citysinned]

You fucking idiot

[TulseLuper]

RIP. A real artist.

[jl1100]

Love Meryl and Lily!
