In the Heat of the Night, and Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, two groundbreaking movies both released in the same year. Both star Sir Sidney Poitier, who has left us with one of the greatest legacies, and the world has lost one of its brightest stars. RIP sir.
It's so lovely to see the joy of Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger, when they realize their film has won. This jump of Rod Steiger out of the chair! Also, that was a good speech by Bob Hope!
Fantastic speech by Bob Hope. This was 1968 . It was a year that so much bad happened. Two great men were assassinated. The entire country was in turmoil. The closest we ever came to a revolution. Mr Hope tried to get everyone to accept each other as we were. I was 17 and remember that year very clearly, even at 67.
I recall there being some controversy about comments Hope made about MLK at the time but there was nothing objectionable in the broadcast that I picked up on and I agree that that speech, (which may have bene written for him but was delivered with earnestness) was great.
These were all great movies. This is when watching the Oscars was so enjoyable and everyone stayed home to watch from start to finish. I miss these days.
RIP Walter Mirisch (November 8, 1921 - February 24, 2023), aged 101 RIP Rod Steiger (April 14, 1925 - July 9, 2002), aged 77 RIP Sidney Poitier (February 20, 1927 - January 6, 2022), aged 94 You will always be remembered as legends.
Simple awesome to see Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger surprised when they knew "In the Heat of The Night" won the best picture award! These backstage scenes are the best!
yeah it's remarkable year! Graduate is way more deserving for its innovation but dangerous racial conflict in the late 60s ppl needed strong film such as In the heat to cool thing off
Fantastic film! Still phenomenal and moving today. It’s not just a civil rights commentary, it’s a rip roaring good mystery. So glad it won, esp. right after MLK’s assassination.
I worked in Hollywood back a time. One morning i went to a restaurant down on the PCHl It was almost empty, and as I entered, there all the way in the back, sitting alone, was Rod Steiger. He had huge problems with chronic depression later in life. I didn't bother him. I wanted to thank him for the body of work he gave, but it seemed inappropriate. Now, I almost wish I had told him.
Thank you so much to the Admins for posting this, which I have eagerly awaited. I am deeply grateful. Julie looks simply divine and I am sure she was personally delighted that her friend, producer Walter Mirisch (who had produced her 1966 hit HAWAII) was the winner that night (just as her friend Mike Nichols, who had directed her and Carol Burnett in their 1962-63 Emmy-winning hit, "Julie and Carol at Carnegie Hall") won for best director. Terrific picture!
@@joewhitehead3 I can only think of 2 reasons someone would fall asleep watching that film. 1) they were exhausted when they started watching it and should have gone to bed instead of watching a film. 2) they don't understand it because there's a decent plot and no explosions. It's one of the greatest films ever made.
+D. Fortner He did, but Rod Steiger was also great as Gillespie. The battle for Best Actor was a loaded one as Sidney wasn't even nominated. Warren Beatty (Bonnie and Clyde), Dustin Hoffman (The Graduate), Paul Newman (Cool Hand Luke) and Spencer Tracy (Guess Who's Coming to Dinner) lost out to Steiger. Many thought Tracy would get the win since he died shortly after the film's release
That year, Sidney Poitier's biggest competition was probably himself. He gave two fantastic performances which likely split the voters as to which film would land him a nomination.
hawrnball he should have been nominated for this and Guess Whos Coming To Dinner! these was the best two films of 1967! but Sidney wasn't even nominated for either!
Wow!! Mr. Rogers Neighborhood as we know it started this year in 1968 with the great Fred Rogers and crew. Tom Hanks was 12 years old in 1968, on July 9th.
"In the Heat of the Night" deserved to win the Oscar,...although what a great list of nominees.....one of the best years ever. Consider "Cool Hand Luke" wasn't even nominated ( I mean Doctor Doolittle.....really?) and consider Sidney wasn't even nominated for either of the 3 great movies he was in ( "In the heat of the Night"...."Guess who's coming to dinner" and "To Sir with Love") ...and YES....Rod Steiger was brilliant in ..."In the Heat of the Night"
Justin, I just said the same EXACT THING!. How could the one and only Cool Hand Luke be passed over for Dr Doolittle?? Although it was a sweet movie, we are talking about BEST PICTURE. And 1967 was the year!! So many great movies. My birth year!! And Cool Hand Luke just might be my favorite, with alot of competition ( The Hustler, Hud) from my favorite actor. I miss Paul Newman so much, 😢. And I am so thankful that Joanne Woodward is doing well!! But The Color Of Money was basically a " we owe you one Paul". But, I'll always see my boy Luke! A Natural Born Worldshaker!! George Kennedy was so great as Dragline too. Those were the days, my friend. Great comment!🙂
For all those who are angry "Bonnie and Clyde" or "The Graduate" didn't win the award, be thankful it wasn't "Doctor Dolittle". *shudder* Besides, "In the Heat of the Night" has its merits.
Best years when it comes to movies 1939 - Gone with the Wind, Stagecoach, Mr Smith Goes to Washington, Wizard of Oz, Stagecoach 1952 - The African Queen, Quo Vadis, An American in Paris, A Streetcar Named Desire, A Place in the Sun 1967 - Bonnie and Clyde, Guess Whos Coming for Dinner, In the Heat of the Night, The Graduate 1975 - Nashville, Barry Lyndon, Dog Day Afternoon, One Flew Over the Cucko's Nest, Jaws 1976 - Network, All the President's Men, Rocky, Taxi Driver 1994 - Shawshank Redemption, Speed, Lion King, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump
What a great time gone from the world Forever! 1967 was an incredible time for entertainment and films and music that you will never ever see again Ever PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!
Like Audrey Hepburn the year before, I think this was Julie's 'Oscar peak' of beauty. What a star! And her hair is styled like STAR! which she was then shooting. Even more astounding is that Julie has made only SEVEN Oscar appearances as a presenter, ONE as a winner and TWO as a nominee or guest. Only TEN appearances over 50 years!!! And her last was 10 years ago on the 75th Anniversary! No offense but I'd rather watch Julie open an envelope than the "comedy" of Jennifer Anniston and Tina Fey
you prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!
Another terrific clip. Julie looks Smashing! and I love the finale with credits! And how about The Robe?? Lol. That was an Easter staple every year then as I don't think The Ten Commandments had aired on commercial TV up till then.

I agree that Julie looked amazing here, but she had already completed filming STAR! before this and was actually already filming DARLING LILI (the company would move from Hollywood to Paris some two weeks later and encounter significant delays as the infamous student riots of May '68 would take world attention).
Always had a thing for her. Ever seen the movie "S.O.B.", directed by her then-husband Blake Edwards? She (briefly) appears topless--and "they" are perfect!
Listen to those movie titles! Look at the class of the production! Listen to that closing speach as our world was fracturing. We have let our culture DIE.
A lot of Great Movies was released in 1967. In the Heat of the Night was photographed so well. Race Relations and the Bonding of the Black Hero and the Southern Bigot was the core of the film but Sidney and Rod's performances blew me away. Sidney should have gotten a 2nd nomination for this performance and for playing 3 different characters in 3 different films that year. Rod was overdue for his Oscar in which he should have won for The Pawnbroker. Warren Oates played a good role. The best Warren Oates role was when He played Dillinger. Lee Grant, a Great Actress had a small part in this film and a small part in Divorce American Style in the same year. Haskell Wexler is a Super Great Cinematographer that I noticed ever since I saw Easy Rider. The Graduate was also a Super Great Classic. Mike Nichols is the George Stevens (A Place in the Sun) of my generation. Warren Beatty, a Million Dollar Image of an Artist, Producer, Director (Reds), Writer (Bullworth) was On the Map with His Production of Bonnie and Clyde. Faye Dunaway in her Break Out Performance. Kate Hepburn's touching performance in GWCTD. My Favorite Bond Movie, You Only Live Twice. A Great Year for Movies.
I wish Mr Mirisch had mentioned the actors Sidney Poitier Rod Steiger, Warren Oates , Scott Wilson and Lee Grant. Lee had been blacklisted for 16 years from her first film in 1951 The Detective Story until this film. Lee Grant would win a Oscar 8 years later starring opposite Warren Beatty in Shampoo. Sir Sidney won his Oscar four years earlier for. Lilies of the Field. I wish he could have shared Best Actor with Rod Steiger but Sir Sidne wasn’t nominated. In 1968 the three biggest movie stars in the world were: Sir sSidney Poitier,Paul Newman and Steve McQueen. Sir Sidney so elegant and classy but so humble So regal and erudite but never arrogant and mean the way so many film stars are today. This was Scott Wilson’s first film. Sidney recommended Scott to writer director. Richard Brooks for his film ‘In cold Blood. So Scott Wilson got the starring role in only his second film. No actors today come close to Sir. Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger!!!!!!!!!
Yes, it most definitely should be. It seems little has been learnt from the turmoil of that time, but much could be by rehearing and reiterating his most thoughtful and insightful words.
Right you are! How clumsy of me. Her hair is the darker color from Darling Lil. On a dreary afternoon yesterday I pulled out both films and watched again. Both are underrated gems that were unnecessarily maligned on initial release. Julie is at the top her form in both, PS. My former boss worked for Paramount and spent much time in Ireland (damage control, lol) during the filming of LILI.
Two things: Walter Mirisch kissing both Rod and Sidney after winning Best Picture for IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT; and Bob’s memorable closing speech. That the Oscars could and did make something of a cultural difference back then (by embracing those films that were chosen for Best Picture, with the exception of DOCTOR DOOLITTLE), and in a way that would positively resonate today…
Henry C. Lickel, an ABC staff designer at the time, later designed sets for Double Dare (Goodson-Todman), Family Feud and the Alex Trebek-hosted version of Jeopardy.
3 of the 5 Best Picture Nominees of 1967 are on AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies List: The Graduate #7, Bonnie and Clyde #27, and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner #99
Love at the sheer class of this show. Who's more important than its entire history and all the true greats to ever grace it's carpets. Oh, yeah, Will Smith.
What's left of such great,socially aware, and committed stories, movies, producers,directors,actors?of their lessons, courage, ideals? Of that America?
Remember the Time and Place of 1967 and 1968...The world was quite different from today's world. And Sidney was in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and In the Heat of the Night..and To Sir with Love...BUT no LOVE from the Academy...no nominations...What were they thinking?
Great clip. One of the tighter best picture categories in oscar history but it seems somewhat fitting in the heat of the night won considering this oscar show had been delayed due to martin luther king jrs killing.
I agree- Steiger's work in Heat is superb, however, Sidney Lumet kept his inclination to chew the scenery in check in The Pawnbroker. Newman's work in Cool Hand Luke is certainly award worthy; he deserved to win for The Hustler in 61 and for Hud. Poitier was outstanding in Heat, in To Sir With Love and Dinner. I thought that Tracy should have won his third Oscar for the Henry Drummond portrayal in Inherit The Wind.
Look at this incredible list of Actor nominees: newcomer Dustin Hoffmann (Graduate); Paul Newman with his 4th nomination in ten years; producer Warren Beatty (B&C); the beloved Spencer Tracy (10th record breaking nomination, posthumously). Surely Sidney Poitier was "best actor of the year" (three huge hits). But the stupid Lee Marvin victory over Steiger pretty much guaranteed a make good in a fine performance. Incredible competition!
I just love Sidney and Rod's reaction when they find out that their film won Best Picture!!!!! Priceless!!!!!
In the Heat of the Night, and Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, two groundbreaking movies both released in the same year. Both star Sir Sidney Poitier, who has left us with one of the greatest legacies, and the world has lost one of its brightest stars. RIP sir.
Also the Graduate and Bonnie and Clyde in the same year! And to think of the crap they are producing these days.
@@johnopal316
Gasp! You left out Doctor Doolittle.
(Which means you have good taste.)
@@johnopal316there’s a solution to your complaint! Don’t go to the movies!
It's so lovely to see the joy of Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger, when they realize their film has won. This jump of Rod Steiger out of the chair! Also, that was a good speech by Bob Hope!
Fantastic speech by Bob Hope. This was 1968 . It was a year that so much bad happened. Two great men were assassinated. The entire country was in turmoil. The closest we ever came to a revolution. Mr Hope tried to get everyone to accept each other as we were. I was 17 and remember that year very clearly, even at 67.

Amazing film. All these years have passed and it's still brilliant.
RIP Walter Mirisch (November 8, 1921 - February 24, 2023), aged 101
RIP Rod Steiger (April 14, 1925 - July 9, 2002), aged 77
RIP Sidney Poitier (February 20, 1927 - January 6, 2022), aged 94
You will always be remembered as legends.
Sidney P. Was in two of the pics nominated. He's one of the very, very best.
Yes indeed he is yes indeed he is I wish these young guys today with mimic how he rolls
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.
RIP Sidney Poitier (1927-2022)
Simple awesome to see Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger surprised when they knew "In the Heat of The Night" won the best picture award! These backstage scenes are the best!
Julie Andrews looks STUNNING! I'm loving that dress.
She was just BEAUTIFUL
I love the camera in the green room showing Sidney and Rod running to the wings to support the movie of the year win.
They competed with' the Graduate' and won, not an easy task.. But well deserved.. Immortal film..
yeah it's remarkable year! Graduate is way more deserving for its innovation but dangerous racial conflict in the late 60s ppl needed strong film such as In the heat to cool thing off
Fantastic film! Still phenomenal and moving today. It’s not just a civil rights commentary, it’s a rip roaring good mystery.
So glad it won, esp. right after MLK’s assassination.
Bob Hope was, in my opinion, the BEST Oscar Awards host.
He was but Jerry Lewis in earlier years was great as well!
He was great when there was a script to read from or memorize, but never edgy or bold. He was the establishment comedian.
I worked in Hollywood back a time. One morning i went to a restaurant down on the PCHl It was almost empty, and as I entered, there all the way in the back, sitting alone, was Rod Steiger. He had huge problems with chronic depression later in life. I didn't bother him. I wanted to thank him for the body of work he gave, but it seemed inappropriate. Now, I almost wish I had told him.
Think he brought that downbeat energy to his films. His greatest roles were depressed characters. He was electric on screen
I'm glad Rod received this award. I do think Sidney - though not nominated - was equally as deserving.
Thank you so much to the Admins for posting this, which I have eagerly awaited. I am deeply grateful. Julie looks simply divine and I am sure she was personally delighted that her friend, producer Walter Mirisch (who had produced her 1966 hit HAWAII) was the winner that night (just as her friend Mike Nichols, who had directed her and Carol Burnett in their 1962-63 Emmy-winning hit, "Julie and Carol at Carnegie Hall") won for best director. Terrific picture!
I still have to watch In The Heat Of The Night at least once a year to see such brilliant acting.
You ever fallen asleep watching it?
@@joewhitehead3 I can only think of 2 reasons someone would fall asleep watching that film. 1) they were exhausted when they started watching it and should have gone to bed instead of watching a film. 2) they don't understand it because there's a decent plot and no explosions.
It's one of the greatest films ever made.
@@pablohanc I just think that movie was a little too slow paced
@@joewhitehead3 well, our opinions differ on that.
@@pablohanc I did like Sidney Poitier’s other films like A Raisin In The Sun. A Patch Of Blue. & Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner
the best, serious and evocative closing speech, amazingly, by a seasoned actor celebrated for his comedic talents.
Back when the Oscars had CLASS! And look what happened recently.
Sidney Poitier should've won his second Oscar from in the heat of the night he played virgil really well.
+D. Fortner He did, but Rod Steiger was also great as Gillespie. The battle for Best Actor was a loaded one as Sidney wasn't even nominated.

hawrnball he should have been nominated for this and Guess Whos Coming To Dinner! these was the best two films of 1967! but Sidney wasn't even nominated for either!
as good as Sidney was, Steiger kicked Poitier's ass in ITHOTN. Well deserved Oscar in an amazing field of actors
One of the best crop of best pic nominees in the history of the Oscars.
Wow!! Mr. Rogers Neighborhood as we know it started this year in 1968 with the great Fred Rogers and crew. Tom Hanks was 12 years old in 1968, on July 9th.
Well, except Doctor Dolittle. But the point still stands.
I disagree.
"In the Heat of the Night" deserved to win the Oscar,...although what a great list of nominees.....one of the best years ever.
Consider "Cool Hand Luke" wasn't even nominated ( I mean Doctor Doolittle.....really?) and consider Sidney wasn't even
nominated for either of the 3 great movies he was in ( "In the heat of the Night"...."Guess who's coming to dinner" and

Sidney is 91 wow-They don't make guys like that anymore!!Great Actor
yeah well, i guess it's just like your opinion
How about 95?
He is 94 now
He's dead now
Julie Andrews was beautiful. I never seen her look that great.
For all those who are angry "Bonnie and Clyde" or "The Graduate" didn't win the award, be thankful it wasn't "Doctor Dolittle". *shudder* Besides, "In the Heat of the Night" has its merits.
And “In The Heat Of The Night” later became a TV series which ran from 1987-95.
The only reason "Doctor Dolittle"
even got nominated was because they bribed Judges!😖
In the Heat of the Night is a more than worthy winner.
Dr Doolittle being nominated is one of Oscars most shameful moments.
The Graduate was the iconic 'coming of age' film for it's time...In The Heat of the Night was the iconic anti racism film for all time.
With the exception of "Dr. Dolittle," that Best Picture race was stacked with quality.
I couldn’t rip my eyes off Julie Andrews goddam
I miss those Oscars..thanks for uploading this footage..
What a time and what people
Bob Hope's closing speech is as relevant today as it was back then
And just as Woke and pathetic!
Best years when it comes to movies

Impressive collection of pictures that year!
rod steiger was a great actor. that's it.
What a great time gone from the world Forever! 1967 was an incredible time for entertainment and films and music that you will never ever see again Ever PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!
How pretty is Julie Andrews looking 😍😍
Those were the days.When the Oscars were the Oscars.
Yess its soo good when they won great movies.
Wow isn't she stunning pure class

I agree that Julie looked amazing here, but she had already completed filming STAR! before this and was actually already filming DARLING LILI (the company would move from Hollywood to Paris some two weeks later and encounter significant delays as the infamous student riots of May '68 would take world attention).
God damn!!! I never realised Julie Andrews was so HOT! Jesus she looks damn near perfect.
Indeed smart UA-camr :-D
And pregnant?
She leaves me stone cold, but each to his own.
I get the impression shes a tuff cookie in real life. No sweet maria.
Always had a thing for her. Ever seen the movie "S.O.B.", directed by her then-husband Blake Edwards? She (briefly) appears topless--and "they" are perfect!
This was the first split between director and picture since 1957 - the longest period (10 years) in Oscar history.
What a LINE UP My God!
Bob Hope, the best in all he did, comedy, hosting, entertaining soldiers, delivered this most timely, in the late 60s,
Julie Andrews is gorgeous!!! Simple beautiful!
At those days people still had class.
Hollywood is no way lie this anymore classy people back in the day with real actors and actresses.
Cool Hand Luke should have at least got nominated
Putting the Hope in Bob Hope.
The class of these people are solely missed in these times
Listen to those movie titles! Look at the class of the production! Listen to that closing speach as our world was fracturing. We have let our culture DIE.
Seems like everybody's walking around with their eyes closed Wide Shut Such a Pity many evils the meaning on the planet
I liked Bob Hope because he never took himself seriously. He never pretended to be the smartest guy in the room, although he no doubt was many times.
A lot of Great Movies was released in 1967. In the Heat of the Night was photographed so well. Race Relations and the Bonding of the Black Hero and the Southern Bigot was the core of the film but Sidney and Rod's performances blew me away. Sidney should have gotten a 2nd nomination for this performance and for playing 3 different characters in 3 different films that year. Rod was overdue for his Oscar in which he should have won for The Pawnbroker. Warren Oates played a good role. The best Warren Oates role was when He played Dillinger. Lee Grant, a Great Actress had a small part in this film and a small part in Divorce American Style in the same year. Haskell Wexler is a Super Great Cinematographer that I noticed ever since I saw Easy Rider. The Graduate was also a Super Great Classic. Mike Nichols is the George Stevens (A Place in the Sun) of my generation. Warren Beatty, a Million Dollar Image of an Artist, Producer, Director (Reds), Writer (Bullworth) was On the Map with His Production of Bonnie and Clyde. Faye Dunaway in her Break Out Performance. Kate Hepburn's touching performance in GWCTD. My Favorite Bond Movie, You Only Live Twice. A Great Year for Movies.
Totally agree on The Pawnbroker.
I wish Mr Mirisch had mentioned the actors Sidney Poitier Rod Steiger, Warren Oates , Scott Wilson and Lee Grant. Lee had been blacklisted for 16 years from her first film in 1951 The Detective Story until this film. Lee Grant would win a Oscar 8 years later starring opposite Warren Beatty in Shampoo. Sir Sidney won his Oscar four years earlier for. Lilies of the Field. I wish he could have shared Best Actor with Rod Steiger but Sir Sidne wasn’t nominated. In 1968 the three biggest movie stars in the world were: Sir sSidney Poitier,Paul Newman and Steve McQueen. Sir Sidney so elegant and classy but so humble So regal and erudite but never arrogant and mean the way so many film stars are today. This was Scott Wilson’s first film. Sidney recommended Scott to writer director. Richard Brooks for his film ‘In cold Blood. So Scott Wilson got the starring role in only his second film. No actors today come close to Sir. Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger!!!!!!!!!
Hope's closing speech should be repeated at this years Oscars!
Yes, it most definitely should be. It seems little has been learnt from the turmoil of that time, but much could be by rehearing and reiterating his most thoughtful and insightful words.
That was a great closing speech!
In the Heat of the Night has great producing.
JubalCalif I've always had a thing for UNITED ARTISTS. This film company came up with some innovative film!
beautiful Julie
Very deserved, wonderful direction, and Brilliant acting! BTW, Julie Andrews was a DOLL!
Right you are! How clumsy of me. Her hair is the darker color from Darling Lil. On a dreary afternoon yesterday I pulled out both films and watched again. Both are underrated gems that were unnecessarily maligned on initial release. Julie is at the top her form in both,
PS. My former boss worked for Paramount and spent much time in Ireland (damage control, lol) during the filming of LILI.
Two things: Walter Mirisch kissing both Rod and Sidney after winning Best Picture for IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT; and Bob’s memorable closing speech. That the Oscars could and did make something of a cultural difference back then (by embracing those films that were chosen for Best Picture, with the exception of DOCTOR DOOLITTLE), and in a way that would positively resonate today…
Doctor Doolittle?!
Where the hell is Cool Hand Luke?!

"They call me Mister Tibbs!!!!!!!!"(:
Asn absolute masterpiece
What a list of nominees! All classic films.
Excellent movie.
Wow that closing speech was great
WHOA SHE IS BEAUTIFUL! GORGEOUS. doesnt need to show any skin in order to appear HOT as ever.
They're showing THE ROBE on Sunday? I'll have to watch!
Sidney Poitier could have won for best supporting actor for 3 films, but Hollywood wasn't ready yet!!
Everyone xpected B&C win including the cast!!
Yup they were racist! Don’t excuse them
What a great movie! Great actors!
Love at the sheer class of this show. Who's more important than its entire history and all the true greats to ever grace it's carpets. Oh, yeah, Will Smith.
What's left of such great,socially aware, and committed stories, movies, producers,directors,actors?of their lessons, courage, ideals? Of that America?
Remember the Time and Place of 1967 and 1968...The world was quite different from today's world. And Sidney was in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and In the Heat of the Night..and To Sir with Love...BUT no LOVE from the Academy...no nominations...What were they thinking?
the votes got split as he was so good in all 3 films
Bob Hope delivered a meaningful closing!
Yours is a brilliant, on-target analysis, thank you manny!
Great clip. One of the tighter best picture categories in oscar history but it seems somewhat fitting in the heat of the night won considering this oscar show had been delayed due to martin luther king jrs killing.
No one is talking about Bob Hope's speech at the end. So relevant still more than 50 years later. Some would call him "woke"
Quentin Dean should have been nominated for best supporting actress
Man what a list of movies
IN COLD BLOOD deserved a nomination instead DR. DOLITTLE.
I agree- Steiger's work in Heat is superb, however, Sidney Lumet kept his inclination to chew the scenery in check in The Pawnbroker. Newman's work in Cool Hand Luke is certainly award worthy; he deserved to win for The Hustler in 61 and for Hud. Poitier was outstanding in Heat, in To Sir With Love and Dinner. I thought that Tracy should have won his third Oscar for the Henry Drummond portrayal in Inherit The Wind.
Hud was newman's best a great motion picture
WELL SAID BOB , CLASSS
Yes, Bob was always a class act and by far the finest Oscar host.
They Call me mr tibbs
me too!
noah tibbs 😂😂… This YOUR real last name you get a LOT of attention !!👍👍
Woahhh that was a 6 hr telecast despite short speeches??
Walter Mirisch is still alive 97 yrs old!!
After receiving the award, he walks off in the wrong direction. Classic Oscar moment.
"Rioting and indifference are equal sins." Excellent statement that is still relevant today.
What a list of films that were nominated.
Look at this incredible list of Actor nominees: newcomer Dustin Hoffmann (Graduate); Paul Newman with his 4th nomination in ten years; producer Warren Beatty (B&C); the beloved Spencer Tracy (10th record breaking nomination, posthumously). Surely Sidney Poitier was "best actor of the year" (three huge hits). But the stupid Lee Marvin victory over Steiger pretty much guaranteed a make good in a fine performance. Incredible competition!
Sydney deserved Best Actor for To Sir With Love IMHO
One of my all time faves ,hooray
Bob Hope's message rings true today. Look around.
Rod Steiger was so surprised he left his gorgeous wife and stepped out of the table, great moment
Well said Bob.
Sidney Poitier was in two movies for best picture!! 👌🏽
