Reavx MASH will always hold a special place in my heart. My father, long gone from cancer, was an MP in the US army and served in the Korean conflict. He never spoke much of it and I never asked except for one occasion. He shared being an MP he guarded the perimeter of a MASH unit. MASH is and always will be one of the great series of all time. It truly touched our emotions.
When the MASH theme started playing I lost it, bawled like a child. And I bet I wasn't the only one (besides four of his grandkids at the table). To see such a thoughtful man be rewarded for a job well done is a joy. He's always been consistent to himself and the things he believes in, he's always been an instrument for good, in his own peculiar way, and that's well worth celebrating. Congratulations, you wonderful man.
Feel so fortunate to have met Alan Alda on the MASH set in the summer of '78. It was a surprise visit for our YCC kids working out of Will Rogers State Park in the Santa Monica Mountains where the MASH set was located. He was so gracious, coming over and talking with the kids, and asking them about their work. A lifetime memory for all of us!
He is so pure and sweet! In interviews, he is genuinely curious about people. He tells stories where he sits next to strangers at parties and asks them about themselves and is genuinely interested!
I still go through periods every 5-10 years where I have to watch MASH, and while the whole cast was perfect, it is Alda’s timing and delivery as Hawkeye that I could never get enough of.
Aww I love Alan Alda, he really deserves this award. I'm 15 and M.A.S.H has become one of my favourite shows because of him - his portrayal as Hawkeye really made the show a success!! WE LOVE U HAWKEYE!
Grande Alan Alda. Un gentleman in this world of maniacs. Thank you for all the smiles and laughters you always gave me, for the elegant intelligent and pensive beauty of your soul and face and jokes of yesterday and today. From Italy with soooo much love .
My love for you transcends everything, dear one. You are the brightest of gems, you're irreplaceable, and a true gift. The beloved memories you leave with us will go down in history, but they will never compare to joy that was knowing we lived on this planet at the same time as you, and we got to watch you have so much fun exploring it! Please keep doing so as long as you possibly can, Love! 💜💜💜
Mr. Alda reminds us to 'play', which is particularly refreshing in a society that can take itself too seriously. He puts acting in perspective by saying 'it can't solve everything, but it wouldn't hurt.' Bravo.
There are no words to describe how much I love this man with every fiber of my being...and I don't even know him. Then I see Mike Ferrall beaming and I just know how much that man is loved.
Love, love, love Alan Alda! He so deserves recognition. I think I can probably quote lines from every single MASH episode, because I STILL watch them, over and over! Class act acceptance speech and very timely. Cyberhugs to you, Alan Alda.
EVERYONE in the crowd, these superstar actors and the like, all were silent as the crypt listening to this man talk and half of them looked like they were about to cry. Thank you Alan, for your wonderful contributions to the industry. We sha'll never see his like again.
I wish people would look at the movies that Alan Alda directed. The Four Seasons, Sweet Liberty, A New Life and Betsy's Wedding. All are funny and have pitch perfect performances. Sadly they were largely ignored by critics and audiences and he never directed a feature again after 1990
I was 4 when MASH first aired and Alan Alda was the first feminist that I knew. I became a bleeding-heart liberal thanks to Alan Alda. So magnanimous and humble a human being, so talented and incredibly gifted an actor/writer/director/humanitarian. Seeing him recognized in this way is touching -- and long overdue.
@@JoelAWeiss Thank you for that. How nice of you. Did you know that Alan has been married to the same woman for decades, and his best friend - of over 50 years - is the great Itzhak Perlman?
As a young man I was asked about anyone who struck me as a "role model." Alan Alda's portrayal of "Hawkeye" was once such person. I always found his combination of intelligence, humor, irreverence, and deep compassion for the human condition worthy of aspiration.
Alan Alda/Hawkeye Pierce - one of a kind of man, i love MASH & I never tire of watching it. You are 1 of a Kind for Sure - This Old World could use more like you that is for sure. God Bless You!!
Thank you so much Alan. Mash is truly a masterpiece of love. I will never get bored of watching Mash again and again. And you also seem to be a very nice and kind person in real life. I wish you good health
This man is absolute class , have loved him since 1971 as Hawkeye , then his numerous roles , I didn't think West Wing could get any better then Alan Alda joined the cast , lovely lovely man .
@@lobitome Even after all these years, I still would choose M.A.S.H. over any program or movie to watch. The way Alan and the othe characters interacted with each other made it a unique show worth watching over and over.
I was only 4 or 5 when mash started on TV and to here the other actors talk about the love for each other and how Alan wanted everyone to shine and stick together for money, they all looked to Alan as a captain of the team. It shows how much they loved him. I still watch it today and laugh, he was so young and now you can see him shake and know he is sick, but his mind is so sharp. I love this funny guy
I've always loved Alan Alda. From when I was a kid watching MASH to getting to adulthood one of my favorite films is The Four Seasons with him and Carol Burnett. And seeing his dad Robert Alda make appearances on MASH. And if you haven't read the book Never Have Your Dog Stuffed it is a great read so please go out and read that book. God bless Alan Alda.
Yes, I read Alan's autobiography, when she was still alive, he wouldn't talk about his mother at all, not until after she passed away and his book was published. Robert Alda, soon enough , had to divorce her for good reason and I don't blame him, later marrying an Italian woman.
@@gracealexandre3381 I remember, once on TV Alan said his grandchildren were saying to him, "Where's your Oscar, Grandpa?" That was when he was nominated for "The Aviator" movie, but didn't make it.
I am glad that it waited as long as it did to affect him. Wish it hadn't at all, but we got a lot of great years, not only as an actor, but as a teacher and humanitarian. And a great speech.
Oh really... Gosh that is so unfair. Now you say it I noticed when he was hosting shows for the World Science Festival that is voice was a bit trembling at times but I didn't know he had this disease ouch... 😢
His work is one of the only things me and my father ever agreed upon. He will always be one of the greatest people to walk this earth and no one can change my mind. A modern day saint among many, one of the best men I hope all people strive to be like in some reguard. He deserves the world
Very fitting that Alan Alda was introduced by Tom Hanks, another actor who deserves respect for an outstanding career (and who will likely be receiving that same award, someday).
@@starbreaker6017 It was called The Glass House from 1972. He actually was killed at the end. Alan probably wasn't well recognized at that time. They never kill the big stars in movies.
MASH deserves a channel which only shows MASH, After MASH and behind the scenes of MASH, and interviews with the whole cast =) I'd subscribe to that channel!
The best speech ever in the history of awards short and to the point of the present atmosphere - learn a lesson from this unpretentious actor - listen to his speech and not just hear it GOD BLESS ALAN ALDA HOURS OF GRAT ENTERTAINMENT IN MASH AND BODY OF GREAT WORKS.
Erm, no. The best speech ever in the history of awards shows was in 1993, when Steven Spielberg, Gerald R. Molen and Branko Lustig won the Oscar for Best Picture for “Schindler’s List.’ Branko, a survivor of the Holocaust, went last. He gave his camp ID number, said that he was a survivor, and had been told, to paraphrase, “survive this nightmare to be a witness.’
I loved Hawkeye, and I love Mr. Alda. That was an inspirational acceptance speech, if we all could just see the world with our neighbors perspective, we might actually get along as a people better. Most people want to be understood.
Are there words that are adequate enough to describe the sublime talents of Mr Alan Alda ? I' ve yet to see them , unfortunately ! He definitely was near the front of the line when talent was being given out by the big man upstairs !

Yes, it's obvious why he's beloved. Nice to see BJ in the audience!
@ Sonya Ramsey Ahhhh, someone was receiving a BJ in the audience?? I didn't catch that, are you sure???
@@tdunph4250 C'mon now! BJ Honeycutt from MASH. I used the initials as a noun, not a verb.
Can’t miss seeing BJ from MASH days!!
AKA Mike Farrell. :)
0:19 Mike Farrell in the audience got me. BJ and Hawkeye, together again.
MP Fann That was beautiful seeing them together again. It got me too.

I bawled too. Lovely talented man, well deserved.
Get some help
And so smart too...
I WEPT LIKE A BEATEN RED HEADED STEP CHILD
So beautifully put
Alan is a national treasure. And, personally, a hero.
He seems like such a nice guy, can't say that about many celebrities. I want to give him a big hug.

Chills. Love you alda! You were such a huge part of my childhood. Thank you for sharing your talent and such beautiful words here!
He’s such a living legend- love him! And to have Tom Hanks present him the award made it even better.
Thank you Alan Alda for this... Proud to be an actor...
Class act all the way
Congrats!
What an inspiration. Great things happen when we allow ourselves the view from another's perspective!

You are a class act Hawkeye, MASH will forever be my favorite show! You are a treasure!
Props. There's a whole slew of actors I grew up with in the 70's that I honestly loved. Alda is in the top ten of that list.
Outstanding Man, with an interest in exploring the unknown...Peerless Life...
And transmitting Science and Diplomacy as well!!

How about a Lifetime Achievement Award folks. I love this guy.
Man is a legend! Was nice to see BJ's as well. When there is nothing to watch, M*A*S*H is our go to show. Love the cast. Well deserved Mr Alda.

Have you read his other book, 'Things I Heard While Talking to Myself'? It's just as great.

We love Alan Alda..
I love Alan Alda.
I don't think I ever saw him in a bad role. I particularly found him compelling in the West Wing. The better the writing, the more convincing he was.
Great man - great words
Alan Alda = Legend and Icon.
The true meaning of an actor's ability to stretch their legs on screen is Alan Alda. BRAVO
Loved his "oy vey ist mir" ("woe is me") when he lifted the, apparently, heavy statuette at the end!
Two of my favorites on stage together - Alan Alda and Tom Hanks ❤️
Two of my favorites would be Alan Alda and Mike Farrell.

Inspiring speech,legendary actor
LOVE
That was a great speech!
Made me cry omg
They would have to invent a new adjective to describe this man...
❤❤❤❤❤
Class with a capital C. Masterclass with REAL class.
I love you. Thank you one more time for my life.
Brilliant words.
I love him... I love MASH... it is so heartbreaking to see Parkinson's affecting his hands.
But not his wit. He's as sharp as ever
I am glad that it waited as long as it did to affect him. Wish it hadn't at all, but we got a lot of great years, not only as an actor, but as a teacher and humanitarian. And a great speech.
Oh really... Gosh that is so unfair. Now you say it I noticed when he was hosting shows for the World Science Festival that is voice was a bit trembling at times but I didn't know he had this disease ouch... 😢
But he hasn't let it take over his character, his wit, his demeanor that makes him so unique, so loveable.

The only actor I respect - a transparently decent, talented and caring person, without the hubris and sermons.
Class act.
Do you know a prison movie with him i search for this so Long,my father told me that,unknown movie Glass House or so🤔
