Warren Beatty Accepts the AFI Life Achievement Award in 2008

[zuzuspedals]

One thing I just realized when watching Beatty paying tribute to Annette Bening. Ever since they were married in 1992, I do not recall seeing any story about Beatty having an affair or whatever. This is quite remarkable coming from a guy sleeping with all the classy dames in the past. This is probably a good lesson for Tiger Woods: you sleep with all the women you want, AND THEN you get married.

[Mr1131988]

Well I never saw this AFI show but was curious to see Warren Beatty but can't help it talking about Al Pacino since I never expected him to be the 1 handing out the award. What can you do? It's FUCKING Al Pacino, probably the greatest actor ever.

[waitingformypopcorn]

Will people shut up about Pacino. How rude. This is an award ceremony for Warren not Pacino, when it's his award the go comment there. Pacino would want the same respect for Warren. Get a life pls.

[xianneh]

It's a night for Warren but the 2 top comments are about Al Pacino. haha! Well we all can't help it. Al is the man! :D

[vadimzdonutube]

a great american walking down with the commie anthem is quite ironic

[NataliaWeronikaD]

he's so fckin cute when he's talking bout his wife.

[Rabilay1]

From the heart and all true!! Is this Hollywood or what?

[andreamaddy]

a good actor that became a great director!!! Reds, Dick Tracy, Heaven can wait, Bullworth wow!!!!!!

[DeeJBaker]

Beatty's achievements should not be discounted. McCabe and Mrs. Miller by itself puts him shoulder to shoulder with other '70s greats like Pacino.

[draziom902]

AL Pacino the Italian Stallion

[Shelby596]

It's hilarious that it's Beatty's AFI, yet the top comments are all about Pacino! Maybe it's 'cuz he's the greatest actor OF ALL TIME!!

[XratedAbir]

DOCTOR MICHEAL MONTANA! 

[Almogrew]

They should have gave Pacino a standing ovation when he arrived.

[itazshi08]

watching this video for the nth time...annette is so pretty!!!!!

[belenramires1]

0:33 what Unrespect (the guy with the gumm)

[robert15697]

who is the couple at 5.48?

[BiHBanjaLuka]

Lol the theme song when Warren receives his award is the communist anthem The International :))

[VEGAxProductions]

Can I say, that I pressed on this video just to see Pacino?..

[humanitypeace]

@VEGAxProductions LIKEWISE.. PACINO IS THE BEST

[SumNJFella]

Hey Dick Tracy, heard you live in a bubble & your fake as shit, now after watching this I can easily see that. Why are actors complete fucking douche bags? lol...

[HANGER187]

Wow, Al Pacino and Warren Beatty....awesome actors. They should get the AFI lige achievement awards 50 times

[Mr001alpa]

Al Pacino You The Greatest Actor in History of The World

[itazshi08]

...i feel "twitterpated" about these two - annette and warren. Sweet! I salute you Warren. I'm happy for Annette. :)

[porooshat]

omg!!!!!!!!1 he is so handsome and sexy....I still prefer that classic sexy real hollywood gentelmens...not today chicks....

[techfaster]

GODFATHER arrived

silence

[razbigranicu]

I have a deepest respect for Warren Beatty, but to say he belongs with Orson Welles and Chaplin is just ridiculous. But I understand Pacino, they make him say that...

[Dirik619]

is this guy really tony montana from scarface ? looks nothing like him

[TimsVideos17]

@Dirik619 That was nearly 30 years ago; he's bound to have aged since then. Also, he wore a lot of make up in Scarface to make him look Cuban.

[majesticmaniac]

Don Michael Corleone......Respect

[milton19871919]

The International!!!!! Iget chills every time I listen to this song. the movie reds is a true picture of the russian revolution, long live the world revolution, fuck stalinism!!!

[richardus1985]

Big Boy Caprice handing the prize to Dick Tracy only means one thing:

Fucking great actors!!!

Peace to all the great, alive and departed.

[Avitalstern]

The part about Shirley and Annette- so touching!!!!

[unodonut]

The song playing is called "The Internationale" and is here on YouTube. The video is by zzahier

[fairyfalls55]

ah, Warren Beatty. God bless that man.

[MrCesarThawk]

Did he just say , "A True Bohemian"? as in bohemian grove member?? hmmm....

[afischetti1]

I love you Warren! You're the greatest!

[Gallifrey1991]

looks like Annette couldn't believe Pacino was there

[DeathPenguin1000]

I loved Warren Beatty in "Heaven Can Wait".

[thelupoistheman1]

what song is playing when beatty goes to the stage to get his award?

[allthatsolid]

My man, Warren!!

[mydogtuf]

Are you making any movies soon? WARREN, really enjoyed your videos on You Tube! Excellent Work ! If you see me around in my spaceman costume, driving my ad cars, selling my movies know that I am keeping busy until I get the chance to audition for you and others to act in BIG movies too. I love acting and cinema.

Your Friend,

What the hell's with all these negative comments about Warren Beatty?

I can see your points about how there weren't a lot of massive legends at Al Pacino's AFI night - I was thinking it too.

But to put Beatty down just cuz of that? It's bollocks. Beatty's a legend in American cinema and he thoroughly deserved to have those people there. It's not his fault they weren't at Pacino's night.

Both Pacino and Beatty are two of the greatest actors to hit cinema history and both deserved that award.

[wownouser]

wow... that was really moving

[gabysucks26]

He is legendary. Warren and Annette are my fave hollywood couple. Annette Bening is so gorgeous. I hope she wins an oscar for The Kids are Alright this year.

[Kassad101]

YOU JUST COST ME $6000....,6 Thousand Dollas

[jannyabb]

Warren Beatty, I like him acted in Bugsy the most. But he's not legendary like Pacino, Connery or De Niro which received this award last 3 years.

[BlackenedForLife]

WARREN IS 71 HERE!!!!! He looks and sounds like he is in his 50s!!!!

[FuriesOfBaseball]

GO QUENTIN!!!

[Almogrew]

It's bullshit the fact that Pacino who is the greatest actor, lacked star power at his AFI compared to Beatty. Total bullshit.

[girlierichie]

@Almogrew im agree with u al pacino is terrific actor and beatty is a moroon pacino rocks!!!

[XratedAbir]

@Almogrew Thats the Thing There are Actors Like AL PACINO, MARLON BRANDO, DE NIRO, ORSON WELLES, LAWRENCE OLIVER and there there are Stars Like Warren Beatty, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, George Colonoy

[girlierichie]

AL PACINO the best actor of his generation besides a legend living (serpico,godfather 1,2,3,dog day afternoon,heat,scarface...) just a true icon is funny both mens shared diane keaton why diane doesnt went to pacinos afi??

[drphungus]

@girlierichie Keaton and Pacino had a long on-again, off-again relationship for 20 years, and I think he really broke her heart in 1989 when they were together and she found out that he had fathered a child with another woman (she found out a year after the fact). So she probably didn't go because it's too painful to be around him since theirs was probably a really intense relationship, and it still hurts to this day.

[girlierichie]

@drphungus ohhh got it .both besides of be great actors they are ( cuz some magazines and other actor says are a nice and humble persons ) if they was madly in love why pacino did it i think so diana still love him she has years single .pacino fucking asshole broke her heart but he is a awesome actor they should back in

[30Kristen]

@drphungus It was Anjelica Huston with whom he shared the long relationship and cheated on with Rebecca Broussard, the mother of his younger children.

[30Kristen]

@30Kristen Scratch that I've gotten mixed up with Hollywood relationship disasters. Sorry about that

[silvermoonredmoon]

Pacino is the greatest actor of all time and DeNiro is next to him

[jorgeiramain]

they have a lot of great actors who made amazing movies like clint eastwood, jack nicholson, harrison ford, sylvester stallone, bruce willis, morgan freeman, arnold schwarzenegger and now di caprio, denzel washington, tom hanks, etc not only pacino and de niro( of course both have increbible talents and made awesome movies)

[appletrades]

was that ol`Robert Downey jr. I saw?

[Hook547]

Alright Pacino!

[masterd48]

was Julie Christie there? if not what a FU to someone who was so instrumental in her career and played such an important part in her life

[JMBitchboy]

In my opinion, Al Pacino is the greatest actor ever but and he has worked with so many great legends yet why did his AFI Lifetime Achievement Award night lack the star power Warren Beatty's had? Why weren't Robert De Niro, Francis Ford Coppolla, Sidney Lumet, Brian De Palma or Colin Farrell around to pay tribute?

[girlierichie]

@JMBitchboy yeah its true im mad why de niro and beatty got great actors there and AL PACINO afi was jamie foxx,cris o donell,andy garcia,winona ryder,leele sobieski what the hell is it!!!!!!! maybe coppola,de niro,sydney lumet and all you said should be there

[JMBitchboy]

@girlierichie Well Winona Ryder and Andy Garcia were pretty close to Al Pacino because of Looking for Richard and Godfather III and Ryder was supposed to have been Mary Corleone. They're both pretty respectable and talented but damn Jamie Foxx isn't someone associated to Pacino. Where was his ex and frequent co-worker Diane Keaton and all the big stars he worked with young and old?! Bill Clinton speaking? Really? Warren Beatty is a legend but very overrated!

[Morgainell]

Warren Beattty is great because he is an actor/producer/writer, I love both he and Al Pacino but Warren Beatyy is an innovater behind the scense as well.

[lou1606]

I just saw scent of a woman!!

Wow i love al pacino

[Almogrew]

warren is nothing compared to Al Pacino

[nigusi]

Warren is the coolest guy in the universe!!

[haroof]

Warren's a fascinating character.

[WiltatKansas]

He's the brother of Shirley MacLaine

[skylar1477]

that was really sweet of him when he addressed annette & shirley!

[HollywoodParadiseYes]

MEMORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!

[ciadella1971]

Al Pacino is such a cool guy.

[lily0313]

the fact that hes liberal makes him so much hotter

[bowler8]

Did you notice no-one really congratulated him, I think they were there for the free food.

[Almogrew]

Pacino is obviously a better actor than beatty

[libertine6666]

al pacino is the greatest acton in the world .. noy just by his movies but also with his manners

[kettleism]

4.20 a cute moment.. who would have thought warren beatty would choke up when mentioning his wife,annete bening??? even more so after reading his new bio by peter biskind...

[concussedcarneous]

warren beatty was an actor ????????

[WiltatKansas]

You should watch bonny and clyde

[concussedcarneous]

@WiltatKansas oh yeah Warren Beaty ... i dont like him i only thought he was doing Annette Bening lol

[kennyanddave]

Woop! QT @ 2:26!

[Frye666]

Al Pacino....unbelievable. He is the best.

But what is that song at 2:00? Sounds like a socialist Internationale...yikes...is this appropriate for this occasion?

[wsiklogfh]

@Frye666 it's called (i think) " Arise Workers To The Battle" it was a soviet labor anthem

[Frye666]

Thanks wsiklogfh. Then I was right. Warren Beatty is high on my list, but what is with this song? It is because of the movie 'Reds'? That whole part of this show with the red background looks like a soviet party conference. Brings back bad memories to a Central European like me...

Please Warren be a democrat (and most importantly an artist) but not a commie!

[kismet927]

5:17...best moment

[cinema731]

first view!
