Geneviève Bujold and James Earl Jones present Freddie Young the Oscar for Cinematography for Ryan's Daughter at the 43rd Academy Awards. Accepted by Sarah Miles.
I adore Ryan's Daughter, it was unfairly maligned because critics thought a movie about a young Irish girl could not be taken seriously. I recommend everybody see the film and experience it on the big screen if you ever find a screening.
So glad that Ryan's Daughter won Best Cinematography. Just look at the opening scene with the clouds and the ocean. Just beautiful!!!! It just shows you that they don't make pictures like those anymore!!! Everything is just digital, not film. Sad.
That's what waiting around half a day for the right cloud formation will get you. In any other year it would've gone to Billy Williams' excellent work on "Women in Love" but there was no beating "Ryan's Daughter" for cinematography that year. The famous lovemaking scene was shot on a soundstage and later, after the film was cut together, even the participants had trouble identifying what was really outdoors and what had been shot indoors. Seamless.
Hard to decide who is the most beautiful...Bujold, Miles, the gorgeous J.E. Jones or Young's cinematography... (But then again, maybe it's Jarre's score...quoted here by the Oscar orchestra but not even nominated...and that's a damn shame...) The other nominees were all Hollywood/Brit/Japanese experts in their field, but frankly nothing could dare compete with 'Ryan's Daughter' which surely ranks in the top 25 most beautiful colour films ever shot. You lose count of the number of shots which are non-pareil (the love scene in the forest has enough for a whole film), but a personal favourite of mine is when the Major arrives at the bus stop. There's a shot of him in chiaroscuro with a slash of light across his eyes - unbelievalble!
Goddamn it, why can't people show up for the Oscars like this today? Did Bujold and Jones phone each other? Look at that tougue-in-cheek 'ebony and ivory' colour combo! Genius! The gold lamé and the little velvet choker are the ne-plus-ultra of it all. Agree with the comment below about the surplus of beauty in one moment (Jones, Bujold, Miles, Young, Jarre). Those were the days.
...tive a ventura de assistir essa jóia preciosa do Cinema ...que produção ! ...atores fantásticos! ...a trilha sonora e o tema por Maurice Jarre- Gênio...que espetáculo inesquecível! ...até hj me emociono com as cenas...a música...o Cinema é mesmo ou deveria ser outra maravilha desse Mundo ...parabéns!!
Freddie Young was asked shortly before he died what advice he would give to young cinematographers and without hesitation he replied 'invest in more light bulbs' he explained he couldn't understand the modern tendency to shoot moves in almost semi-darkness....I wonder what this great man would have thought about the scourge of the shaky hand held video shots and the chop saw editing that makes many movies totally unwatchable.
Freddie had a total of 3 nominations with two wins when he won for RD. Perhaps that's what Sarah meant. Still it was great seeing her 'accept' an award in her sole Oscar appearance during her brief, and somewhat scandalous, sojourn in Hollywood. BTW, can anyone tell me where the music under the montage is from? It's driving me crazy...
What happened to normal, beautiful women like Sarah? They have all moved on. The beautiful women from a bygone era. She speaks so calmly and welcoming.
Big technical innovation of the time: showing stills By the way this is the 1971 Oscars (which awarded 1970 films). Sarah Miles was nominated for best actress, but didn't win.

Couldn't agree more. Marvellous film. Felt that Anthony mingella the English patient was .also a superb .epic love story.

Genevieve Bujold great then and now.

You're so right. But the biggest shame is that " Ryan's Daughter " is only available on Blu-ray in Spain! Cheers.
James Earl Jones truly made a huge fashion statement on Oscar night!!!! LOL!!!! It's amazing that he got away with it!!!!
+LadyAmerican It was his costume for that night's performance of Othello, which he was starring in at the Mark Taper Forum.
I think it was rented.....
He was appearing Othello and came in costume you idiot, did you not watch the clip?
@@habu179It was not rented, he was appearing in Othello that night.

Amazing how many winners and nominees weren't present back then. You rarely see that today.
She is a very good actress.

The fashion back than was cool. Better than it is nowadays. People were more relaxed. Less judgmental about expressing individuality.
beautiful young james!
One does not simply watch a David Lean movie that hasn't won a cinematography award
Freddie Young has won 2 Oscars before this one for Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago. Not sure where Sarah Miles was getting her info from, lol

Do you have best costumes of 1970?(winner:cromwell)
AGAIN, this is the 43rd Oscars in 1971, NOT the 42nd in 1970.
Black color is elegant.
Back when the Oscars were the Oscars - without the politics & finger wagging.
Thats so VERY true... Booklyn.
Well I mean… in two years time Brando started the hyper politics with Vanessa Redgrave doing the same thing in the late 70s.
1971 oscars

Why is Sarah Miles dressed like Mary Stuart?
JONES CAME OUT LIKE HE BLK JESUS!! LOL
✨✨✨✨✨✨💎💯🌹💐✌️
Was he wearing that for a bet,,, or was that just part of the 70's Afro vibe.
+Basilzaharoff1 He was appearing in Othello at the Mark Taper Forum at the time--that's why he mentions "making the curtain."
It was the 70s, they were free to.be you and me. But that black outfit with the costume jewelry crucifix needs to go
didn't know Darth was a Zulu?
Christ on a bike.
I really really want outfit like him so much!!!! I bet he doesnt wear underwear!!!
