[FilmDisney]

I don't get it

[rottyboyy]

@TheTruthMustPrevail yo truth you seem angry and i"m not so sure your version of (the truth) is the real deal i have it on good faith that the true founders of monotheism and stand up comedy arrived in europe quite by accident it was continental drift and most of those dudes has suspiciously bolivian accents so this would seem to trump your version of reconstructed history by a few ice ages i know this for a fact since it was my aunty in minsk who secretly perfected the art of carbon dating

Even the dress is a running gag with her. She wore the same outfit when she spoke at Warren Beatty's AFI Tribute. She's just a national treasure.

[veggis64]

The hypacrosi goes only so far....

[sajlovesam]

[o10AnnE10o]

Elaine May makes Ricky Gervais sound petty.

[o10AnnE10o]

Pardon, but what's the mark on her hand? Her speech's outline? :)

[suttonguy]

absolutely hilarious!

[susiemac2u]

She's brilliant.

[DoubleTalkingJive]

Someone once said of Elaine: "She knows the subtleties of Scandinavian drama, but she doesn't know if Mexico is North or South of the United States." LOL!

[diddymuck]

mike nichols is incredibly overrated.  The Graduate was a basically a Joe Sarno flick with deep focus and a rock soundtrack. BFD. ( Look up Joe Sarno for more info.)

This is funny on so many levels, it is just amazing. I keep coming back to this. So good and funny and smart! Don't see that so much anymore. I'm not surprised she got a standing ovation :D.

[sarithss]

[NataliaWeronikaD]

u know what, that's so fuckin' horrible! they deleted the robin william's speach and it was really funny.

[robmarchesani]

Elaine is the only woman I have found to be as funny as Carol Burnett!

[richlep]

Let there be no question that Elaine May has still got it.

[kissinbooth]

Can't get any funnier!

[90evilideas]

I'm sure Elaine May's speech was plenty funny enough without this lame laugh track.

[nezpercenathan]

I guess people viewing this know all of the connections: his full name is Michael Igorevitch Peschkowsky, he and Elaine May used to collaborate, and appeared as Nichols and May (comedy team), and , of course, Diane Sawyer is his wife.
