What a beautiful, lovely speech.
Unassuming, yet very profound.
Stanley Donen. A name synonymous with genius...

I agree, I don't remember many better acceptance speeches: it's lovely, it's funny, it's award related, and it's BIG TIME deserved. Thanks for posting it, mate, I hadn't watched it again ever since. And for a moment I thought saw Gregory Peck alive and smiling. :)

@AtYourBeckettAndCall So true! What a bloody legend!!! Look out for Mark Cousin's Story of Film from this year - it's on this site. He interviews Donen at length and the the guy looks and thinks like a 40 year old, plus it's the best documentary I have ever seen...

is that Fred Asatire jr>?

@AtYourBeckettAndCall amen to that, heh heh!

This is without a doubt the best Oscar speech ever. All Oscar winners from here on out should be required to watch this.

A director just has to cast his movies well, show up and stay the hell out of their actor way

excellent, that is what is called an acceptance speech...classy, stylish, witty and just perfect!!!

So richly deserved. He's a great man.

does AMPAS ask for permission from the respective studios to use their clips when posting these videos? After all, isn't this free advertising?
