Patricia Neal presenting Best Foreign Language Film Oscar®

[edwdixon5]

Growing up in the 70s, I'd see Patricia Neal here and there and think she seemed kind of odd and affected. Then I saw Hud as an adult and realized she gave one of the best performances I'd ever seen.

[erroer1]

Patricia has an amazing persona :)

[letrublion1]

Superbe film que celui de Claude Lelouch, UN HOMME ET UNE FEMME (A Man and a Woman) qui est devenu un grand classique du cinéma.

[nanlisa]

I also have Loves of a Blonde on tape. That was a good movie too.

[myrnaloysboy]

I see Irene Dunne, if I was on that stage and Irene gave me a standing ovation I would have wet myself. Well done Patricia

[myrnaloysboy]

Is that the woman from the Towering Inferno at 0:55?

[nanlisa]

A Man and a Woman is the only movie that I've cried over. The theme song just simply brings tears to my eyes, and I still cry over it.

[nanlisa]

Those were the days that the stars really dressed up; especially for the Oscars. Nowadays they dress like slobs.

[SuperRod88]

Not only just more appealing but it's better than to point figures to the other 4 not awarded persons as "and the losers are...". It's a matter of education.

[SueSnell]

@SuperRod88 - so, then we would also have to say "recipient" when referring to them in print and interviews. Can't write "two-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep" because that means everyone else was a loser? And we can't say "Hey, Meryl, did you win last night?" We have to say, "did they give it to you?" Ridiculous. There are winners, period. It doesn't mean the others are "losers" and they're certainly not children who need to be coddled. Tell your kid he didn't win the baseball game, he just....?

[myrnaloysboy]

Is that Irene Dunne in the front row? 

[myrnaloysboy]

Don't you just love the way she says "nominations"

[wifiwaves]

Patricia was so outstanding in "The Fountainhead"...

[myrnaloysboy]

The woman in the white at 1:10 looks like she can't be bothered to clap.

[TonyMaximMuscles]

@myrnaloysboy OMG, I noticed her too. She looks like she'd be loads of fun at a party...

[myrnaloysboy]

@TonyMaximMuscles Do you mean the sad woman or Irene Dunne?



[myrnaloysboy]

She had such an extraordinary but lovely voice.

[BrandonTxOthor]

@myrnaloysboy The warmth showed her. She was/is an inspiration,a stroke that nearly killed her,loss of movement and speech. But with constant rehabilitation and alot of tears she relearned to speak and use her body. She looks so lovely here and yes what a wonderful voice,still showing her Tennessee roots.

[myrnaloysboy]

@BrandonTxOthor You are so right man. I love Patricia.

[JONROSE44]

Patricia Neal was one of the greats, so sad she is no longer with us....she was and will remain forever a legend!!!! I love her and I miss her.

[matmicm1]

PEACE AND LOVE

[MsGinger92]

Poor Pat she sure went through hell. I love her movies so much and she was such a wonderful actress. God Bless you Patricia. You are sure missed.

[mattreloaded24]

I know this seems like a strange request, but could you guys upload Billy Bob Thornton's screenplay win for Sling Blade, it's my favorite movie, and Billy Bob has to be one of my favorite people in Hollywood, would be much appreciated!

[myrnaloysboy]

oh she so deserved that standing ovation - i'm so proud of her - she is truy fabulous - bless you miss neal

[CalifoniaGirl]

this was 1967 Ms Neal had had the strokes in february 1965 while she was pregnant with her youngest daughter Lucy who thankfully was born unscathed 6 months later and of course with any award there's going to be losers that's the nature of the world

[jckfmsincty]

"A Man and a Woman" better than "The Battle of Algiers"? I don't think so.

[JerseySurvivor]

@jckfmsincty

Hindsight is always 20/20. You may not remember the hold A Man and A Woman had on international audiences at the time. The OST sold millions overnight! The film became the biggest foreign film ever. Looking at it now, it is very dated and passe especially when it stands beside BATTLE and LOVES OF A BLONDE, two genuine classics. Still Lelouch's film is a great film to watch with a woman you love. If you know what i mean.

[jckfmsincty]

@JerseySurvivor Or, a man.

[dinasztie]

Dear Oscars! You always make me happy when you post videos. However, you would make me ENOURMOUSLY happy of you posted Art Carney's Oscar win! If it's possible upload it the next time you post videos which I hope will be VERY soon. Please, please, please!

[Shifraeliezar]

Before making a comment, ou should realize she just had some ministrokes and had to re-learn how to speak properly. No one walks in anyone else's shoes....

[luisgeometria]

She is a Legend!

[szewei85]

RIP miss neal...hollywood has suck big time since the disappearance of all the golden generation actor/actrese including miss neal herself...dang

[dflartist]

when standing ovations meant something

[JerseySurvivor]

It's great seeing these clips. What a tribute to Pat! I see the great Abbey Lincoln passed today. Will the Academy post her singing FOR LOVE OF IVY at the 1968 awards?

[leafyutube]

A genuine lady.

[92af]

I wish that Bob Hope still lived

[jimmymoviehound]

I love her voice!

[redegel1985]

patricia neal is dressed like snow white... for a sec i thought she was snow white haha

[selma1930]

She had a rough go if it for a few years but shined through. Did anybody spot Candice Bergen, Raquel Welch, Steve McQueen & Anouk Aimee in the audience?

Bob Hope brought such class to this event. Its a shame he is gone from an event that has become so diluted. All they can hope for is to bring back Billy Crystal in lieu of all those others who just dont work as hosts!

[JerseySurvivor]

@selma1930

It's so great spotting people. Alan Arkin is sitting in front of Aimee. Irene Dunne is in the front row. When Claude rushes to the stage he passes Walter & Carol Matthau, Dean Jones, and Lynn Redgrave.

[JerseySurvivor]

@JerseySurvivor

Claude passes Mike Nichols, Wendy Hiller & Elmer Bernstein, too. Over Anouk's right shoulder....is that Michael Caine in the glasses?

[novamist]

What an incredible woman!

[paint9er]

R.I.P. patricia neal

[ashleyg325]

Aww that's so amazing they gave her a standing ovation. Thanks, only it doesn't really take someone dying to put this stuff up...

[Jenniferkate]

what a lady. Thank you for posting.

[TheHill88]

"I thank you, I thank you..." Classy.

[henrysinaga]

R.I.P Pat Neal

[BabyDillGerkin]

this woman had more class (and talent) in her little pinky than most of us have in our whole body

[MDSCFALNM]

@BabyDillGerkin Amen to that! Seeing her bravely going on live television so soon after relearning to walk and speak is just stunning. We've lost more than just a great performer, but a great woman as well.

[cromatical]

@BabyDillGerkin speak for yourself lol.

[ScottRay67]

Patricia conquered a lot and lost a lot, but will always be a winner with her fans and her legacy will continue to gain them for her.

[Anynom]

For those who don't know, Neal had suffered a severe stroke the year before and this was her first public appearance upon recovering, hence the standing ovation.

[nauvalyazid]

She truly deserved the standing ovations. What a class-act survivor. This was in 1996, just at the time when she only recovered from her illness and the incident that happened to her children. Amazing.

[ooks]

RIP patricia neal. what a glorious woman.

meanwhile, i can't believe lelouch's film won over the battle of algiers and loves of a blonde.

[SuperNezzy]

not to sounds dumb, but why did she get the standing O?

[dextersmith2000]

WOW, I think this telecast must have been after Patricia Neal's stroke,

but ...I'm not certain

[ailaf09]

I also got a suggestion. Give WIll Smith a god damn Oscar.

[elizabetheowynbelle]

Aw, I love how she's kind of shy and tentative, but everyone's thrilled to have her back!

RIP, Ms. Neal. You were a hell of an actress and an inspiration as a human being.

[anaclet]

The good old days. So elegant.

[outinsider]

This must have been right after she fully recovered from her series of strokes. What a trooper she was!

[xxxWarriorGoddessxxx]

R.I.P. Patricia Neal.

[rickram1961]

RIP Ms. Neal!

[gamecrazy132]

this is just a suggestion to the ocsar people or whoever is in charge, when the person is opening the envelope and is about to say the name of the winner, it should be like in the old days, instead of "the winner is...." it should be "...and the Oscar goes to...." it sounds much more appealing. and for the 82 academy awards it only happened once when kate winslet presented an oscar

[acebunny17]

@gamecrazy132 I agree

[BearP89]

@gamecrazy132 Yes I agree. Remember Michael Caine's acceptance speech in 2000 where he stated how 'The Oscar Goes Too' is much better than the competetive term 'The Winner Is' but then they changed it back this year, why???

Good on Kate Winslet for not going along with it, Im glad she said the PROPER term, which is 'The Oscar goes too..."

[BabyDillGerkin]

@gamecrazy132 so true -- "winner" implies there are "losers"

[henrysinaga]

@gamecrazy132 I strongly agree with you, 'the winner is..." sounds immature and too casual for such a prestigious ceremony, "...and the Oscar goes to..." is perfect, dignified, and formal.. and skip that long one by one introduction of the nominees , not only boring, but sometimes the sayings became irrelevant.

[redegel1985]

@gamecrazy132 amen to that!!!

[myrnaloysboy]

@gamecrazy132 I don't understand this comment. Surely you mean the other way around. In the old days they used to say "the winner is" which I agree is much more appealing!

[SueSnell]

@gamecrazy132 - I like "and the winner is..." classic, true and changing it is just a lame PC attempt to not hurt someone's feelings. They're feelings aren't hurt - they've been nominated! If you can't take it, then don't come to the show. Everyone's talent is NOT equal. And at least they don't say, "and the non-loser is...." now that would be mean. ;)
