I respect James L Brooks (God his movies are great) but You don't need to be a fan of Bergman to know he was the best director...Fanny and alexander was his best movie.
It must be an amazing feeling to win a best director award over Ingmar Bergman.
As in Life, there is No Justice.
The Academy had a wonderful opportunity to award Ingmar Bergman
and blew it, really BLEW IT!
It was a trend in the 80's to have a golden opportunity to reward a legendary, non-American filmmaker for one of their great works...only to cave and go with a safer, Oscar-baity Hollywood film (see Kurosawa losing in 1985).
Sir Richard Attenborough is a great man. Quite old now and in a nursing home, he has never really recovered from the deaths of several family members in the Christmas tsunami.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WITH US.
I DIDN'T KNOW THIS BEFORE.
You're welcome.
He's now sadly deceased. RIP.
Happy Birthday Brilliant Writer Director
James L.Brooks
Dear James really deserved it. It was a great movie.
James L. Brooks's job on Terms of Endearment was great and I loved the film, but Ingmar Bergman's Fanny & Alexander remains memorable (he should have won, at least, for best original screenplay).
I'm still stumped how Ingmar Bergman lost the best directing Oscar.
***** Probably because most of the audience hadn't actually seen Fanny and Alexander
Anyway, Ingmar was the kind of guy who didn't give a Shit about Awards. I don't like most of his movies but I really like Fanny and Alexander.
@Commander Keen there’s a lot more to directing than moving the camera, and fanny and Alexander is indeed an achievement in directing
@@DavidAguilarRodriguez87 Go tell that to the actual directors voting 🤡
So was James Brooks evidently.
Dr Hammond gives James L. Brooks an Oscar.
He really spared no expense.
Axel Fritzler - And who was sitting two seats right of Brooks? Dr. Hammond's director.
Interesting that both Fanny And Alexander and Das Boat were both originally conceived and produced as television productions and were adapted to theatrical versions.
so much class
It's interesting that the executive producer of The Simpsons is an Oscar winning director. He's mostly known for television than movies anyway. This is before The Simpsons aired.
Sir Richard AttenBRO 😉
They are all winners
Terms of Endearment has great directing.
Hahahaha you make me laugh all the time...
"Terms of Endearment" was a good movie, interesting and sad, but the directing was not very good. As much as I like Shirley MacLaine, I have to say that this is a pretty bad role of hers because of the direction, not because of her. Her character was exaggerated. According to me the right Oscar choice here was Mike Nichols for "Silkwood".
You guys should upload "Fanny & Alexander"'s Oscar wins.
They now have.
Only two nominees werer actually there! wow
2:09. James goes "NO!".
C.J. O'Dell He probably thought Ingmar Bergman should have won
Picking him over Bergman is laughable...
Pretentious Bergman loving snobs are laughable.
I don’t think so. Achievement and direction means a lot including pleasing its audience. And after seeing both pictures, I can truly say the people watching tears of endearment had a much better time than those that Saw Fanny and Alexander
Terms of Endearment was an amazing movie and Jim deserved the Oscar.
Does anyone know what is the background music at 0:33 - 0:48?
Brooks must be the only Oscar-winning director who responded with negativity and denial when his name was read.
And the winner is Ingmar Berman
How come he didn't thank any of the Actresses and Actors from the Movie: Shirley McLain, Debbie Winger, Jack Nicolson, etc. Nor did he thank the Novelist who wrote the book from which the MOvie is based upon: Larry McMurty.
He won two other Oscars that night. Maybe he did then.
10 years later sir attenborough made a cancer movie with debra which is equally tear jerk in as ToE
Odd that Philip Kaufman didn't make it onto the final five - in both the writing & directing categories - given how many nominations The Right Stuff got. I guess it was the bad box office that did him in.
Had he been nominated, he'd easily be my choice: that's my top film of 1983, and probably of the whole decade. The lineup being as it is, I'd go with Bergman, but Brooks is by no means a bad choice either.
Philip Kaufman? As in *the* Philip Kaufman that helped George Lucas develop the original story for Raiders of the Lost Ark back in the mid 70s?
The very same.
Wow! 😯
Don't forget Invasion of the Body Snatchers either.
Of course Ingmar Bergman should have won
Was that Amy Irving together with Steven Spielberg sitting next to James L. Brooks?
Yes. Spielberg's first wife was Amy Irving.
Where is Philipp Kaufman?
He should have won.
This is one of the strangest academy acceptance speeches I've ever seen
Scorsese should have been nominated for King of Comedy. I'm not sure in which year though 1982 or 1983
I genuinely think it was such a shame not having nominated Barbra Streisand as best director, even morr so when she won the golden globe for both Best comedy/musical picture and best director.
If you want to laugh at the end of the video look at how unhappy Debra Winger is and how thrilled Shirley McClain is
Very odd
He's a Jew who grew up in poverty in North Bergen, New Jersey and who also became the modern-day Moses who seeks to liberate his people from modern-day golden calfs many in the older generation of Jews idolized, such as the Kennedys and Disney
Barbra Streisand was robbed of a nomination as Best Director that year, after all, she had won the Best Director award at the Golden Globes several weeks earlier, competing against all these nominees here on this video!
It is shameful the Academy (back then) was just a Good Ol Boys exclusive club
