You know, he's always been so funny that people sometimes fail to realize what a kind and humble man he is. Extremely intelligent as well. One of the greatest of all time.

Every once in a while I watch this video and rediscover what a great writer (and performer) Steve Martin is. This speach is a perfect example of class and comedy.
Steve Martin's Oscar speech is how it should be done. Some people should watch this so that if they get an Oscar, they know how to give a proper speech. Not just thank themselves, but those that helped them to get where they are. Great speech Steve.
A man who is so well deserving of an Oscar. Glad he finally got one. Steve is rather timeless. His hair went completely white like over 2 decades ago, and he still looks the same. Close your eyes, and his voice is practically unchanged. May he go on and on... until there's no more marrow to suck out of life.

Daniel Rose that is, indeed, an other Steve Martin. Well done, Detective. You only had to bring down the room for the sake of a dad joke, kudos. Brave. May we all be so bold. To Bill!
I worked on The Jerk… Carl Reiner and David Picker were solid people.. I was a young PA and they were so kind to me… His description of walking into a soundstage and a set that first day is spot on.. for those of us behind the camera as well as those on camera…. I enjoyed every bit of it.. I was late once my first week on a commercial back in 19#& and I never needed an alarm clock ever after that. I was lucky and blessed to have had a career instead of a job… and I cherish those memories.
The Jerk is one of my all time favorite movies👏🏼👏🏼 And up until this moment I had no idea that it was a Rob Reiner film. One of my favorite lines “ you mean I’m going to Stay this color?!?” Your career must have been fascinating! Thank you for helping to entertain us over the years! 🙏
"I can't possibly express how excited I am tonight because the botox is fresh" Only Steve Martin can deliver such finese and genius. Master of delivery no one comes close.
I've met Steve a handful of times ... somehow he remembers and all the time he shines as a super huge loving soul and lover of arts ... he's 1 of a kind
Steve Martin should have received the Award long back! However, its good to see that the Academy has finally recognized one of the greatest comedians of our age!
As I've aged and experienced the series of events in my 72 year old life, I've discovered the depths of emotion attached to memories of friends, my living partner, my wife and other things. I've become more emotional, not less. As I watched Steve Martin's emotional acceptance speech, I came to see that as we age, the things that were important to us live on in our memories and affect us almost as much as when they occurred.
I am sure he was thinking about John Candy when reflecting on all the great talent and wonderful people he had worked with and were no longer with us...
An absolute class act as always. One of the greatest comedy talents that there will ever be. My favorite from Steve Martin is The Jerk. I cry laughing every time I watch that movie!
All of me, Three Amigos, Roxanne are all my favourite movies. Steve Martin is a genius in comedy. Martin Short is another of my favourite comedian and actor. They are the best! 👍👏❤🤩😍🥰😘
He knows he is loved by everybody in the world he got so many awards but he loved that one mede him emotional what a talented man ever lived we love sir
What a moving speech... The last bit especially about friends, made me cry. My favourite Steve Martin film has always been LA Story... Funny, romantic, brilliant, a bit of drama, a bit of sci-fi and a bit of action in that car scene early on... It's got it all. Steve's got it all.
a legend. I was feeling down two days ago and I decided to watch pink panther of 2006 and I laughed, really laughed and enjoyed the 90 minutes of laughs and humor; it never gets old and it never gets boring. Thanks Steve!!!
For those you who have commented on how much you love this man Steve Martin, go check his videos playing his banjo and performing with the Steep Canyon Rangers. You’ll love him even more, if that’s possible.
5:31 A very special and brief few seconds he showed us how real he is and how the love for his wife is infinitely more important to him than anything else.
And ppl say Tom Hanks give the greatest speeches?? No Way!! Steve Martin is the king!! His eloquence surpasses all!! So glad he’s getting his due.. finally!!
i,m glad that" the lonely guy" receives this Honorary award.Lonely guy and the man with two brains are two of his movies that i loved to see more than 20 years ago.
Steve Martin- what a Class Act! A man of wisdom, humility, humor, creativity and music and a razar sharp wit. I have to say personally….I've enjoyed his work more as he's aged.
Mr. Martin, you are an American classic a truly classy and telligent kind man and you are in the same jovial fun pantheon of stars like Tom Hanks and Bill Murray. What a joy to check in and see you getting this award from the past when we are all in the middle of this horrible virus. I pray you and your family are weathering well. Thank you for continuing to make us laugh and for showing intelligence and class so often.
Steve Martin and Martin Short on Letterman and Steve Martin winning the Governor's Award of 2013 and Steve Martin's introduction to Steve and Tom Hank's introduction. all 3 segments are really good.
I am enjoying the 2014 Honorary Oscar ceremony enormously, however, I must again express my disappointment that these presentations were not made at the actual Oscar ceremony on March 2nd. The concept that these lifetime achievement Oscars should be relegated to a smaller and less significant ceremony is insulting to the honorees and diminishes the importance of the award. To me, the awards to Olivier, O'Toole, Redford, Grant, Poitier, Douglas, Loren, Donen, Fellini and Edwards during the actual Oscars were the highlights of those years. Does the Board of Directors believe that these presentations don't have the same entertainment value as a Billy Crystal monologue? Incomprehensible.
One day, Tina Fey will be receiving an Honorary Oscar too! An Honorary one is better than anything the Academy can bestow : having people tell you your life was great is far more better than them telling you that out of five, your 45 min performance was the best of the year 1452.
You know, he's always been so funny that people sometimes fail to realize what a kind and humble man he is. Extremely intelligent as well. One of the greatest of all time.

I do the same. :)
Well said and so true.
His line to Hanks about Captain Phillips not being "so funny" is a slam dunk. Steve Martin is the best.
Touching moment when he talks about his wife. Amazing guy
Steve Martin receiving an "honorary" Oscar, demonstrates how to graciously accept an award in a heartfelt speech. 8 minutes and worth watching.
Some celebrities you just KNOW are good people. Steve Martin is one of them.
Cate 🤍
That's exactly the same feeling I get from Bill Cosby.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is how to give an acceptance speech with class, humor and dignity. Well done sir.
Indeed
His wife looks young enough to be his daughter or maybe grand daughter :)
He’s not reading this

Well, I mean, the Botox is still fresh
The speech that has everything. I teared up when he did.
I just worry that we are slowly losing these type of actors.
+Gregory “The Postman” Post Please show me another Steve Martin. I'll wait.
+Gregory “The Postman” Post give the younger actors/actress a chance.. some are funny if you open your mind..
precious few if you open your eyes....we are not exactly trending upward

Steve Martin is a great Comedian, a great old school Comedian.

This is true class, everybody. Something we desperately need more of now days.
What a simply wonderful acceptance speech...

Steve is one of a kind and just plain kind,sweet, smart, talented and one hell of a good man.
Wow, that was one of the greatest heartfelt speeches I've ever seen. Well-deserved for all those years of laughter you have given us.
I am sure he was thinking about John Candy when reflecting on all the great talent and wonderful people he had worked with and were no longer with us...
Man..can Steve Martin pull a speech. respect"
How could anyone dislike this? Steve Martin is a class act and this was a beautiful speech.
An absolute class act as always. One of the greatest comedy talents that there will ever be. My favorite from Steve Martin is The Jerk. I cry laughing every time I watch that movie!
That man is a class act.
“My wife alone would have been enough of a reward for my life but now she has brought me a wonderful child.”
How freaking sweet.

He knows he is loved by everybody in the world he got so many awards but he loved that one mede him emotional what a talented man ever lived we love sir
What an acceptance speech. Full of humility, thankfulness, wit and humour. Oh, I just realized, now that’s the definition of Steve Martin!
"I saw Captain Phillips... I didn't think it was so Funny".... comedy gold!
Tom and Steve on one stage, two talented and hard working artists.
Humble and sincere. He was very touching.
What a moving speech... The last bit especially about friends, made me cry. My favourite Steve Martin film has always been LA Story... Funny, romantic, brilliant, a bit of drama, a bit of sci-fi and a bit of action in that car scene early on... It's got it all. Steve's got it all.

This has got to be one of the finest acceptance speeches ever delivered. Bravo!
He is easy to cry as he is simply makes us to laugh loudly.. what an amazing personality he is
He's a true gentleman, isn't he? What a dude. I still hold out hope he'll win one of the competitive oscars, you never know.....
That would be awesome.
Year me too but it's seems rare that comedies or funny people win Oscars. With some exceptions like Robin Williams of course
His eloquence and gratefulness makes life meaningful and beautiful.
Love you Steve! So talented in so many ways and a person with humility and heart!
Such a wonderful speech, very touching and gentle. Martin really is a nice guy.
"Academy Award Winner Steve Martin"...I like the sound of that.
LIKE A BOSS
For those you who have commented on how much you love this man Steve Martin, go check his videos playing his banjo and performing with the Steep Canyon Rangers. You’ll love him even more, if that’s possible.
Well deserved award for one of the greatest comedic actors of our times.
I'd love to see the 4½ hour cut of "Planes, trains & autombiles"!!
Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a hilarious movie. 1987. A good movie is ALWAYS a good movie. R.I.P. "John Candy".
Is that a thing??
Never mind. If I would have waited 10 seconds I would have learned on my own.
John Pappan yeah, but most of the film has all but deteriorated due to poor storage, which is really sad.
YES
what a class act. changed the comedy world forever.
Made me cry hes just so nice steve martin you're a legend
First time I have ever seen him get emotional during a speech.
5:31 A very special and brief few seconds he showed us how real he is and how the love for his wife is infinitely more important to him than anything else.
That was a masterpiece.
Steve Martin! Salute!
Humble yet one of the funniest man in the world.He never forgets his family and friends...
That's a true, gentleman 💯
I watched The out-of-towners once when I was 5 yo and 13 years later it's still one of my jams.
GREAT GUY.
please stay with us forever.
the world needs you.
It's nice to see a poor black child receive an oscar.
Haha
🤣 brilliant
What a jerk...
@@TheBlackDeck This was a reference to a quote Steve Martin made when he hosted Oscars
@@Ram-RTR yeah, the movie, The jerk....
"So many of my agents have died; watch out Adam!"
Soo freaking funny!
Steve Martin, one of the best!!! Love that man!
I can listen to him all day...what a talent & so funny and sincere...
And ppl say Tom Hanks give the greatest speeches?? No Way!! Steve Martin is the king!! His eloquence surpasses all!! So glad he’s getting his due.. finally!!
I love this man so much. He always makes me happy.
i,m glad that" the lonely guy" receives this Honorary award.Lonely guy and the man with two brains are two of his movies that i loved to see more than 20 years ago.
My wife alone would have been reward enough for my life.
Knowing he means it makes it very special. His book on his life in Stand-Up is a tragedy
Why?
Steve Martin- what a Class Act! A man of wisdom, humility, humor, creativity and music and a razar sharp wit. I have to say personally….I've enjoyed his work more as he's aged.
This Oscar and this tuxedo that’s all I need
That's just wow - so genuine. Love him.
BEST.SPEECH.EVER.
Why have I not seen this before?????💘
One of the greats! One of my favorites!
That speech is sincerely comes from the heart
A gift from God. I realized this listening to his "Great Remember" on banjo. Taught me about Bluegrass.
This is how it's done! What a gracious human being... a real class act.
Wow! What a 'splendescently', luminous icon you are, Mr. Martin!
Mr. Martin, you are an American classic a truly classy and telligent kind man and you are in the same jovial fun pantheon of stars like Tom Hanks and Bill Murray. What a joy to check in and see you getting this award from the past when we are all in the middle of this horrible virus. I pray you and your family are weathering well.

Enjoyed your Banjo concert at the State Theater in Easton, Pa. What a show yawl put on and such a class act! Congrats on the award!
It’s been a decade since this happened! Still incredible
I'll always rate steve Martin with high regard he's truely a great actor comedian and public speaker
One of the best acceptance speeches ever from an incredible talent
So touching. I've never seen this side of him.
A perfect example of professionalism. Talk of those who brought you ease to work.
From a Mississippi sharecropper to an Oscar Winner and a Saint. thank you Steve.
I hadn’t seen this before. What a terrific speech.
Comedy genius, brilliant man of many talents.
Besides my dad, this man is my #1 influence in life...
Hands down my favourite and most gracious actor in modern times . .. .
Steve martin is still better than many comedy actors of the 2010s
Steve Martin roasting Tom Hanks is something I didn't know I needed
Steve Martin and Martin Short on Letterman and Steve Martin winning the Governor's Award of 2013 and Steve Martin's introduction to Steve and Tom Hank's introduction. all 3 segments are really good.
LA Story was/is a masterpiece.
so great -- if only he had gotten it for All of Me. Wasn't even nominated, despite the NY critics giving him best actor that year.
What an absolute beautiful speech to movies and to life
Steve is pure class.
I love when Steve said about Captain Phillips, Tom is literally dying on the background. I was like:"That's it, call an ambulance!"😅
I grew up watching steve martin. i remember listening to my uncles albums of his. then i saw the jerk. i thought that it was the funniest ever.
Happy birthday steve from italian boy live in rome
Moving. Glad that Steve appreciates what truly matters.

given he should have one a couple of them in competition... it was HIGH time. He never got even nom'd!
It’s April 4, 2024 this is 10 years old my Lord !
The 1st two albums I ever owned were Steve Martin stand up comedy albums.
One of the all-time greats!
