Wes Studi is the man. I remember as a kid watching last of the mohicans and he scared the shit out of me. Such a great and underrated actor.
me too lol !
@Ryan Sampler: Underrated? Are you not watching him receive an Academy Award?
He was absolutely brilliant as Magua.
@@11bravo1789 And Geronimo..
@@nerblebun took too long for the academy to give it to him. He deserves more awards for his acting.
Should have nominated for an Oscar for Last of the Mohicans. Outstanding performance
I totally agree. 🤩
I agree 100%. “Magua” was my favorite character. I hated him. He scared the shit out of 15 year old me but I loved his portrayal.
Agreed
I was honored to work as an extra on Undisputed with Wes Studi. I got to be in several scenes with him and he spoke with everyone as if he knew us forever. He was so nice. I am proud of my Native Brother!
Wes Studi's performance as Magua in Last of the Mohicans is, in my opinion, one of the greatest antagonists in the history of cinema. You love him and hate him at the same time.
Ditto on that!
Wes is an excellent actor. He was a brutal, skilled warrior in The Last of the Mohicans!
A legend in our time! Dances with Wolves, The Last of the Mohicans, Heat, Geronimo! What a man, what a performer! Thank you Academy!
Avatar yes what a performer
Reservation dogs.
Amazing how he is in Dances with Wolves and Mohicans. Such a legend. This is so great. Happy for him.
I cried! I’m native Canadian and my dream is to be an actor! So this means so much to me ❤️
Brea Trudine same girl! I’m a Native Canadian and I cried when Wes won the Oscar. 😭
Trevor Sedis who is shitting on whites here??? Lmaoo no one is
Trevor Sedis uh it never occurred to me to shit on whites. I’m very respectful.
itsbansheebish it definitely was emotional ❤️
Please keep at it. We need more Indigenous artists.
The one important thing I noticed other than the language, he recognized all of those that helped make films what they are. That shows me what kind of man Wes studi is. He is well deserving of this honor.
Mr. Wes Studi gives every character in his movies the pride, bravery and nobility of every and each american native. Thank you, Mr. Wes on behalf of all american natives all over the Americas: North, Central and South America.
Don't think I have ever heard Wes Studi talk. What a legend!
Your LAST OF THE MOHICANS was..is..and will be MASTERPIECE sir...Congratulations...!! Hollywood is beautiful for artists like you.
ONLY time an actor out shined Daniel Day Lewis was THIS MAN
So true..!!
He's Cherokee but he was talking for every native American Indian!
Hollywood is still shiet 99% of the time
@@EscanV , I agree - and Day-Lewis in "The Last Of The Mohicans" is actually outdone by two Native American actors: Wes Studi should have already won an Oscar back then for his performance as Magua. And the still very young Eric Schweig as Uncas looked way better than Day-Lewis 😉
He IS amazing. I'm so glad that he has received this honor.
Magua is still one of the most memorable villains I've ever seen in fiction. Fantastic performance.
It is about TIME Wes gets what he should had had years ago!! CONGRATS WES...👏👏👏👏
Congratulations Mr. Studi, an honor well deserved and very long overdue.
He just came through Gallup, NM not too long ago with his wife. Omg! I’ve seen most of his movies if not all of them! Remember he showed in Mystery Men?! Haha Legendary Actor! All Natives love him! Especially our parents. And most Natives know him and are so happy to see him up there finally!! As a film lover and Native I am so happy for Native actors.
Finally for native American actor 👍
Came a long way since Brando
Right!!!!
It's genuinely a shame that Russell Means Died before he could get an Award like this one.
Finally for great man And great Actor
Real native,legend Wes Studi💪👍
too many fakes imo - Wes is the real deal
I was just in southern Arizona two weeks ago and had the opportunity to speak one indigenous 74 year old native. I cried a tear for the first time in years just listening. I asked him to tell his story without me asking a question. He spoke for 20 minutes. I kept my mouth shout for 20 minutes. I have seen "Last of the Mohicans" maybe 3 times. Mr. Studi's part was terrifying at the time in the 90s, God Bless Mr. studi and all the native American indians that still are here.
His performance in last of the Mohicans was exceptional
I AM OF THE NAVAJO DINE NATION, Aheehee Wes for mentioning us👍🏼❤💯😃 I met you at the santefe mall in 2018
He is an awesome and funny person, I am so happy I had the pleasure of meeting him, here in Alaska.
Wes is an underrated actor. Absolutely loved him as Magua in The Last Of The Mohicans
Wes Studi is a legend!! 😍💖
He is! Saludos desde Argentina🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
He should be honored. at the actual Oscar telecast. I felt the same when they did this to Donald Sutherland. Wes Studi deserved better my favorites of his. Geronimo and. Last of the Mohicans
Completely agree. This was the most foolish decision the Academy made. They need to stop trying to shorten the show and stop worrying about younger demographics. It's the Oscars. Run past midnight and give these people their due on the big stage. It's shameful.
@Cha Nel I admire your optimism.
I watched The Last of The Mochicans because of this actor and still only watch reruns because of him. Charming & Distinguished gentlemen. This award was long overdue. Very thrilled an actor of the Native American community has been awarded.
He is Amazing. Beautiful Speech❤️
You know he's a great actor just to see the difference between him on stage and off. Off screen his body movements are loose and uninhibitedly graceful on screen he comes across as this force of nature. Don't know if he was nominated for Geronimo but he should have been. Actor musician combat vet linguist horsemen etc. Some people just shine brighter than the rest of us. Im glad he was acknowledged for the beautiful light that he has graced us with . Cheers Brother
native representation is so important y'all miigwetch to all the native actors and filmmakers that are pushing to tell our stories and represent all of our beautiful cultures !! 💖

Well said Wes! Brings tears, so proud of your work. And, YES, it is about time an Indigenous actor won an Oscar.
“It’s about time” yes sure is......congrats Wes
#DinèNation
Being part First Nation , I am so proud to see Wes win this award which is so deserved! He's a terrific actor, and scary as all hell coming after you with a tomahawk! 👍
I'll agree. Forgot this was an actor in Apocalypto.
Phenomenal!
A great actor and an equally great man. Take care of these people.
It was a long acceptance speech and I'm glad they gave him the time. He wasn't accepting only for himself, although at times it may have seemed so.
He was accepting for all the unrecognized and unappreciated Native Americans who are woven into the fabric of this nation. And it is appropriate that "America" was an ongoing theme in the roles he played: Wes Studi does America proud!
He deserves it! Such an underrated but amazing Actor!
I've always loved Wes Studi, ever since Mohicans. I'll love him for the rest of my life. Congrats, sir.
Edit. Thank GOD the man slipped some Cherokee into his speech.
HE IS ONE OF OUR PRIDE'S!!!.
I love him in Dances with wolves. Amazing performance
Brilliant performance, every role I have seen him in. Perfect character. Perfect role model.
I’m so proud of one of our own finally being recognized.
Have loved the work for years. Congratulations! Hope we see you a lot more.
A truly great actor! Thanks for your portrayal of Magua and every character you have created!
Great Actor, amazing talent, Warrior's face, Humble Man, and Well Deserved Award. Thank You Mr. Studi for all your Great movies.
Wes Studi is great in anything he does. So many films where his presence simply completes the scene and film.
He was great in Deep Rising.
@@LPeck1985 Lol! I forgot about that one! Good flick!
@@RW4X4X3006 Yeah. It was a nice easy watch and surprisingly good. 👍
Wow!!! "Magua, speak English very well", congrats Wes, well deserved because you earned it.
So glad they present honorary academy awards. So many people in the industry who we don't know about that have given so much
Wado Mr. Studi for no one seems to know of your service in Vietnam, and thank you for your service in American Indian Movement so we could be recognized as a sovereign nation...and thank you for being an actor, you being in movies let me know that native people still have a face in this world, we still exist, Cherokee fire still burns.
Congratulations to Wes Studi, you are a true performer who continues to embrace truth.
Wes your the only reason I watch films your in!! Congratulations 👍
This wasn't pandered, Wes really is a master of his craft.
What an incredible nice guy! Its about time that HE gets this aword! not only HE, but also his people! Deep bow of respect mister Studi and your people!
Nice man and such a great actor!💯 God bless him.🙂
This guy scared the stuff out of me in "The Last of the Mohicians". He was very convincing.
Hello and congratulations to Mr. Wes Studi for this long-deserved award. It shouldn't have honorary in front of its title because he is a perfectly capable actor by any means to receive such an award without the word, "honorary" in front of it OSCARS & ACADEMY OF; ARTS, SCIENCE AND MAJOR MOTION PICTURES ASSOCIATION! Bravo and Salute Mr. Studi!
He should have gotten an OSCAR. For all his outstanding. Performance
About damn time indeed!
Studi is so underrated. Selfless and humble.
What's crazy about Wes Studi in the Last of the Mohicans. I honestly didn't think he was an actor, I thought he was a real person they picked out from the wilderness.
😎me too
Wes Studi is a STUD!
Yes. My mom always called him Wes Studly.
@@lilibetp LOL, why did I never think of that?! (There's something to be said for feathers and leather, especially leather coughMaguaahem ;)). I'm gonna use that from now on. Thanks! :D
Yes he is the man! Love him.
Wes studi you are legend in love your film special the last of mohicans my favourite film was geronimo the American legend you great native american actors
So proud of you my cherokee brother !! Sagittarius pride right here 🙏🏽😊
He looks fantastic for his age. It was an honor to meet/work with him on The Red Road a number of years ago. Awesome guy.
What a divine man and amazing actor and incredible quicksilver talent. His meanest Pawnee and Magua would easily make Freddy Kruger and Hannibal Lecter tremble with fear. I was on the edge of my seat in both Dances w Wolves & Mohicans. He needs to do more roles; President; Police Commissioner, Detective; Diplomat; Scientist; Astronaut, endless roles, endless! May you keep on keeping on Wes!
Well deserved 👏 He's a great actor
such a brilliant actor and person. Well-deserved
Great to see Tantoo Cardinal (Dances With Wolves, Legends of the Fall, etc) there sitting with director Micheal Mann another fine Native actress who I run into here in Toronto now and then. : ) Congratulations Wes from another proud Native (Anishnawbek).
I would love to see him in a movie as Tonto and the Lone Ranger, he has the voice and the looks, a real wild western movie. Think about it !
Wes does remind me of Jay Silverheals in his demeanor. And in that he promotes native American actors.
I have no words, just thank you 🙏🏽
Kevin Cosner never realised what a great service he was doing when he put Wes Studi's name forward for the film "Dances with Wolves" because Studi was the 'real deal' when it came to needing a really authentic depiction of a Native American. It was Studi's biggest opportunity to really break into acting and he grabbed it with both hands. The viewer always knows that however Studi's character develops on the screen the portrayal given by Studi WILL be honest in detail, language and everything else. He IS an expert horseman, speaks numerous Native American languages and helps others, not necessarily only actors away from the camera. He seems at least to be a genuinely humble person apart from an amazing actor. He has starred in many extremely good films like, Last of the Mohicans, playing the evil Managua, Heat, one of the best roberry films made, Skin Walkers, a classic but underated film, Seraphim Falls, a type of 'revenge' western starring 2 actors quite unknown for this type of film, Pierce Brosnan & Liam Neeson and Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee, BOTH exceptional movies. So nice to see someone rewarded who actually makes an unselfish acceptance speech.
Well deserved as an actor Wes Studi, I have been entertained by most of your great performances. Even better that a true native of "America" is receiving an award for portraying someone most of us abroad recognise as being from your world.
Well deserved!! Awesome actor and nice man.
Wes Studi is one of my favorite actors. He richly deserves this Oscar! I actully think he should have gotten one long ago for his chilling portrait of the villain Magua in 'The Last of the Mohicans'. He manages to be really scary - but he also succeeds to create deep sympathy because of the horrible personal loss of his whole family after a battle against the English and the Mohawks. His Magua is a three-dimensional villain!
And last but not least he was a wonderful Joe Leaphorn. There should have been more Tony Hillerman adaptations!
I also think that Studi should have been casted in a color blind way more often. There is no reason why he could not have played more non-native Americans.
I remember watching this with my grandma.
Wes studi is an amazing actor and really deserved this thanks for the upload.
Um grande ator. Que foi primoroso no papel principal da história real do índio Apache Gerônimo. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
He terrified me in the last Mohican, and seeing him next to Al Pacino in the movie Heat makes him one of my favorite actors. I still have not seen Hostiles but I'm damn sure that he killed it.
He's such a amazing actor indeed, villain or not once saw him you'll never forget his performance.
pow wow highway was the greatest native pic of all time
congratulations.
He should have won in ‘93 for Last of the Mohicans! What a performance!
Wow this is great, I am so late seeing this, but I am a huge fan of his work. So very happy for him!!
Native and proud. Congratulations sir. You make I'd proud
Thank You for films that brought us on a journey back in time. Congratulations! You are incredible 🦅
He is an amazing talent... and an even more amazing man. Congratulations Wes!! You deserve ALL this and more!!
He maybe the the first (and definitely deserving) but he should not be the last. There are several more that need to be recognized.
Native people 1st people. Bravo wes studi well done! 👏👏👍
Congratulations Mr Studi. So happy for you and your family. My favorite film, Edge of America. I loved your everyday man performance.
Congratulations, Mr. Studi! From the Navajo-Diné Nation!!
A real professional actor with a lot of charisma, who does not make tons. Like Forest Withaker, Daniel Day Lewis, Michael Shannon, Philip Seymour Hoffman ( RIP ).
From a Asian Indian to a red Indian about time you got some recognition big man you deserved it from dancing With Wolves 2 to Last of the Mohicans and all the other countless films that you have been in you have made yourself proud sir you finally got your recognition👍
Aww cool, Taika Waititi was there to support this very special award to a well deserved man. Loved listening to his reo at the end. Mauri Ora!
Should have given him an Oscar back in the bloody 1990’s
Se lo merece!!!! es un genio!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 saludos desde Argentina!🇦🇷🇦🇷
Much love from Arizona 🇺🇸
Jesus, he commands the screen even here - effortlessly and following up a great speech from Bale. Just fills up that whole room. What. A. Legend.
I remember cheering for him in Last of the Mohicans, I wanted his character to kill everyone, total badass.
Wes is truly a fine human being, possibly among the most finest, combining rare talent with honest humility. I am extremely happy to have discovered him in UA-cam, regret only that I didn’t come across him much earlier.
We are very fortunate to enjoy the talent of fine actors such as Wes Studi.
Their commitment to excellence cannot be judged by awards. We are the judges who know what we like and who we like.
Congrats Mr Studi.
Cento Anni! (100 years)
I’m glad this guy is getting his due. He’s forever been a legend on camera and a custodian of his heritage. This is really a BIG deal for Native Americans
Wes Studi is an American Treasure. His name should always be bandied about when discussing top villain actors of the 90s. Fortunately for us Dances with Wolves and Last of the Mohicans are some of the best films of that time. Wes’ performances will stand the test of time regardless of media recognition.
Wes is a one of a kind determined force
Thanks for being such a wonderful actor and providing me an insight to Indigenous culture. It's been wonderful to see you grow as an actor over the years. You deserve this so very, very much.
