I love Walter and Jack. Two wonderful performers whose talents will never be replaced. Warren never looked as good as here in the early '80s and career wise, was also at the top of his game. Reds was a wonderful film and Warren, I believe, deserved the Oscar that year.

Jack (Nicholson) just looks so evil with that grin.

Uh, so yeah. ... WBeatty is so clued into Hollywood , he knew IMHO (OC= of course of course...)from the audience's reaction he won. ha ha ha ha

Hawaii is taxing ze importation of tourists not unlike the Bahamas, and this should in my opinion be done at the border of each state, if only to raise the budget for improving and maintiaining the beautification of each state of America......all those in favor say aye and nominate Warren for President someday somewhere somehow. say goodnight Josephine.,

Is it just me, or is there something very special about the way he holds that Oscar?...??!:)

[bookshop101]

Uh, - did you ever see him in "PROMISE HER ANYTHING" or SPLENDOR w/ NATALIE WOOD<

EVEN his first movie Bonnie and CLYDE he wrote starred and co-directed and yet in HEAVEN CAN WAIT< I DARE DEFY ANY MALE FACE OR VOICE BODY OR TALENT AS AN ACTOR Also writer of an original screenplay adopted for screen also nominated and I believe also won this year an Oscar with Elaine May....Sorry for ramblin.

amazing, to beat out Speilberg for raisders Of the Lost Ark, and the director of 'On Golden Pond'. On a side note after all these years, we still have a lack of sensorship, and there are about 100 amendments to the Bill Of Rights I personally would love to discuss and reform with Wareen Beatty, purely political meeting mind you.

Frank.ly speaking I think he would make a marvelous senator. Good real life role to start.

I was supposed to be the star of this film, but I was too young at the time. ha ha just kidding~

I wish Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau were still alive. They could have presented Best Picture tonight.

MsCarlettina its the theme from the odd couple.I think the theme was first used for the film then the tv show.

Diane Keaton looks so in love with him at the end!
