Casey Affleck winning an Oscar for his performance in _Manchester by the Sea_ is one of those ultra-rare instances where the right person actually won, hands-down, fair and square. right and true. his acting in that is on another level completely from what we usually get from movies, let alone Hollowood movies. not a lot of people in the world could have done what he did - it was a practically perfect characterization. unbelievable work. Daniel Day Lewis / Meryl Streep level work. that's what i think, anyway.
AGREE! Andrew’s role was memorable and moving (plus, the film was beautifully directed) but the depth and raw performance from Casey was unbelievable. Streep level for sure!
There's something refreshing about someone like Casey Affleck winning an Oscar for LEAD actor. He's never been a class-act like Daniel Day-Lewis or Geoffrey Rush. He's never been the hottest guy in the room like DiCaprio or McConaughey. He's never had the star-power of someone like Tom Hanks or Denzel Washington. On top of that, this wasn't a role that required Casey to physically-transform himself like De Niro in Raging Bull, nor was this another "overdue win" like Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman. It's like the academy voted for Casey for his acting and not because of some celebrity baggage he carries
richfictionfighter exactly! The lead oscars always seem to go to "stars", while the "smaller" actors only ever have a shot at a supporting Oscar. Nice to see Casey Affleck win for lead (a lot like Brie Larson last year)
richfictionfighter Could never figure out how to explain why he deserved this Oscar and why his performance was the best of the year as well as of the decade and years to come...but your comment nailed my feelings of him exactly! Very nice. 👍
richfictionfighter So true. Don't get me wrong Dicaprio, McConaghuey , and Day-Lewis were all phenomenal in their performances that won them the Oscar. But with Affleck's performance, he was acting with so much raw emotion and nuances. He didn't lose or gain any pounds, he just acted. This is why to me he was the perfect choice to win the Oscar for Best Lead Actor.
Idk why, but the reactions of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon make me feel happy. There is just no envy or resentment. Ben shows true love and support between Brothers and Matt acts exactly like how you would want a friend to act, if u achieve something. Great personalities...
Of course, Matt knew Casey since long time ago because of his friendship with Ben. Those three have a tight connection, like families now for Matt's chemistry with Ben and Casey
Exactly, I found a comment which matches with my thinking. His performance in Eastern Promises was incredibly as well. But the thing is whenever he gets nominated the competition is too tight.
Sometimes, very few, i don't understand why some actors win, but when i Saw Manchester by the sea, it was so clear to me why Casey Affleck won the Oscar for actor in a leading role
Casey Affleck and Matt Damon are childhood friends!! Matt Damon have known Ben and Casey even before they entered into hollywood, Just Google it yourself!!
One of the best acting performances of all time and by far the best of the decade along with Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler, Dafoe and Pattinson in The Lighthouse and Joaquin in The Master.
He might feel happy to be helpful to casey affleck in some way if you know Denzel paid for Chadwick Boseman acting class and was so happy seeing him in black panther that he started crying because of happiness.
Casey truly deserved his Oscar. The level of acting was incredible. The scene between him & Michelle is hands down one of the most heartbreaking, profound and amazing performances ever. 😭
Personally my favorite was Andrew Garfield but this is because I have a tremendous obsession with the Hacksaw Ridge movie but I can't deny that Casey Affleck's performance in Manchester by the Sea is one of the best male performances of the last century. And as time goes on and the more times I watch the movie, the more I realize that Casey Affleck was the correct winner, it's not an award for a physical transformation, it's not an overdue award and it's not an award for scoring a social box, it's an award for a great performance.
Garfield is great in Hacksaw Ridge, I’m glad he got nominated, but yeah, exactly what you said, Casey gave a tremendous subtle performance with no big dramatic yelling scenes or anything like that, just unadulterated grief.
I really wanted Gosling to win back then. The thing is I watched Manchester by the Sea this year and I couldn't believe it. 15 minutes into the film (that scene at the hospital when he kisses his brother in the cheek) and I was already devastated. Casey Affleck's performance in that movie is one I'll never forget

'Ben I love you man, you ain't heavy...' that tickled me. It's what I say to my two cat brothers here at home. I say 'be nicer Lucas, he's your brother, he ain't heavy...'
@@jemand8462 It's a song by the Hollies, called 'He ain't heavy, he's your brother' you'll probably find it here on UA-cam. it means I'll carry you when you're in trouble, because you're my brother & I love you & because of this, 'you ain't heavy.'
I just watched the film yesterday at last, after deferring it for so long. I was moved to tears. I regret sleeping on it before. Man, it's such a powerful, beautiful film. The cast was simply amazing. The script, the pacing. Ah the music, the photography. All of the shots were incredible. The actors and actresses shine so beautifully. All of them were just great; and Casey was, deservedly so, at his utter best. I know, they're late... but congratulations. We need more films and more portrayals like these.
I bet you haven't seen Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman in The Master. They both won Volpi Award for Best Actor which even more credible than Oscar.
I don't get it. IMO he just walked around looking constipated the entire time. I figured he was too traumatized from the fire and had to repress his emotions but even in the big fire scene he never broke down, just had that constipated look. I think his method was eating just meat and cheese during filming.
This lineup of performances is the very best the Oscars have ever come up with-all those 5 actors deserved to be up on that stage, and I'm happy that Affleck won. Magnificent performance.
I'm watching this in 2020, a few days after the delivery of this year (which by the way 2019 was a great great year for the cinema), Cassey really deserve that Oscar, Manchester by the sea is a sad and shocking bomb, all this thanks to its interpretation.
Goshhhh, you saw it too. Even that courtesy hug she gave him. The only reason she did that was because he hugged the other lady before her. But she hated every moment of it as she stood there looking like a queen
@@viksaggu9085 probably because casey affleck was being accused of 2 cases of sexual assault. would you smile in that situation? I don't think i would, not exactly the best guy to repersent all leading males in hollywood
@@madzkl6179 I prefer Casey over Phoenix. Joaquin is a bigger name and his performance as Joker was devastating. However I put him 2nd place cause in my opinion Ledger's Joker was even better.
@@madzkl6179 Question. What make Phoenix the best actor or your or this generation? The fact that he won an oscar? Golden goble, Sag award? Can you provide more details why he is the best In your opinion? Cause if you think he is the best cause he won it all, lot of actors has done that... With biggers success at the box office. I'm a fan of Phoenix don't get me wrong. But you're putting him and defending him as a God. And here is where I have a problem. And about the Joker, of course heath gotta be his favorite actor, he was his inspiration. It's like when you're a supervisor your inspiration is your manager cause one day you want to become the one in charge. That's exactly what happened he was the supervisor and when ledger passed away he became the manager. Of course gotta be his favorite actor if ledger was alive Phoenix would not be the joker today. Never. And you know it.
@@madzkl6179 everyone knows that health ledger is Phoenix's favorite actor, don't come here pretending to be the "know it all guy". You know it cause you saw his speech at the Sag award, at the end after complimenting all other actors he acknowledged Ledger as his favorite actor. So don't come to UA-cam trying to embarrass me like I know it cause you told me. Come on, give me a break. And by the way, the best of this generation? Then why was he losing all the roles to DiCaprio? He said it at the Sag awards. He is extremely talented and awesome, I'm a fan of the guy. But brother... putting him as the best at the top, against people like day Lewis even though he retired, agaisnt people like DiCaprio, Washington, Christian etc putting him as the best, Is way too much.
@@madzkl6179please who are you calling fanboy? Ma nigga Look at yourself in the mirror. You came to a Casey Affleck video to introduce and defend Joaquin Phoenix in a post which is not related to this incredible actor. The best actor of this generation who was losing roles to DiCaprio. Why didn't you address that part?
The previous year when I saw The Revenant, I said to myself "If DiCaprio doesn't win the Oscar this year, I'm done with those guys." Thankfully, he finally did get what was rightfully his.
It was kinda like fate. Denzel won his first Oscar for his performance in 1989's Glory, a film about an All African-American regiment in the Civil War, led by colonel Robert Gould Shaw (depicted by Matthew Broderick), who came from an imminent Boston family. Then in 2017, he lost to Casey Affleck, who is actually a distant cousin to Robert Gould Shaw (by way of marriage through his grandmother). And I believe Denzel knew the connection. Casey even subtly mentioned this connection in his speech. I bet both feilt a bit spooked.
I was head over heels for La La Land when it came out. And was annoyed why Ryan Gosling didn't win. Dumb, I know. But now that I've watched Manchester by the Sea, whooo boy, there was really no chance for anybody else.
@@Abiramez It was definitely a less transformative part like many Oscar winners before and after him in the leading category in which the actor had to put on a big make-over to become his character or to resemble a person from real life. Casey just had to go into this role and look himself and act like himself, just a regular guy without make-up, weight change, or an accent and conveyed the power of his performance through his emotional pain.
@@abdealihamid2631 because its used in almost every speech every year, yet it’s ironic because these people have no right to talk about saving the world.
@@bbash578 Rigth cause you stalk them every hour of the day and know what they're doing to help save the world. Only pretentious things here are you and the other guy
@@cathypennington2474 The whole lineup were all deserving of the win, they all played their characters so, so well but Casey, to me, played his the best.
Sure, Andy is absolutely brilliant. He's one of my faves. Anyway, Affleck gives a performance of a lifetime, one of best acting I've ever seen. He's a giant!
My favorite part of the whole thing is when Ben came to hug Casey like the big brother he is! Casey totally deserved that Oscar, and what's better is that he could brag on how he won an acting Oscar before Ben!
She’s talentless. She’s only famous because of her husband. Just maybe she’s sleeping because she knows the only reason she’s at the oscars is because of John Legend
I LOVED Casey Affleck in Manchester by the Sea. Cried my eyes out! I also thought Andrew Garfield did an outstanding job in Hacksaw Ridge. They're both deserving in my opinion, glad one of them won. Two excellent performances!
He was up against some heavy hitters. Been a huge fan of his since To Die For in the 90's. Just love him. The brotherly love here when he won was awesome.
I saw an interview of Christian bale . He was promoting his new movie out of the furnace co staring casey Affleck in that interview Christian said that casey is unbelievablely talented he said that don't see this movie for me or for anything else see it just for the work casey did...he was phenomenal. He recognised his talent and even appreciated it publically and now 3 years later here is casey clinching his first for best actor categy which is a huge achievement.. congratulations casey we love you 🎉
I love when the Oscar goes by itself to whom deserves rather than crawling so many years to get it, in that year Casey’s performance was incomparable with any of the other nominations, that specifically why it was severely known whom it’s going to before even reading the name!
I love Denzel, but its all about awards for that man. After he got the SAG, he was uber pumped and started campaigning like fuck, but the Academy were wise with this one and gave it to the best performance by any male or female of the year, and one of the best of the decade. Denzel loves awards, one time after winning his first SAG, he was asked about his SAG award, and he replied "sometimes my Oscars talk to my SAG at night" or something along those lines. Denzel needs awards to bolster his ego and so he can be viewed as one of the greats. Even with no Oscars, I thought he was always one of the best, but he is one egotistical man no doubt.
Vincent Arderiu So ? Just because you've gotten an Oscar doesn't mean you are never gonna deserve one again Plus he won the sag which usually means you are on lock to win the Oscar so he might have thought he was gonna win
@A is Here Yeah it's a shallow behavior to me, especially since the first thing Casey did was paying tribute to him in front of the whole audience... but whatever... no more judgment, maybe it was so important for him that he forgot to act dignified
I think Denzel only won the SAG because he had never won one before, Casey Affleck had won most of the other awards (Golden Globes, BAFTA, Critic's Choice and most of the critic's awards)
Rarely have i been so convinced of a character's guilt, regret and pain as i was by Mr. Affleck in Manchester by the Sea. Amazing performance, by far one of the best performances of this century, i can't understand why so many people complain, even though Denzel was great too (and i loved Viggo Mortensen as well).
Que difícil decidir entre estas grande y tan emocionales actuaciones, todos hicieron actuaciones impresionante y cada una me conmovió, pero sin duda super merecido para Casey como logro contener las emociones en esa película, realmente impresionante, una de mis fav
Casey Affleck, Andrew Garfield, Denzel Washington, Ryan Gosling and Vigoo?!?! Can I just melt this down and make 5 Oscar medals and buy them all a glass of champagne? DAMN Nice list
These kind of statements are misleading and hurtful. On a film set in 2010 someone said Casey made passes at them. The case was settled on court and Casey has directly solved things with THE WOMAN. They both feel good and considered working together recently.
Wow. That was an amazing speech. Casey was so humble and grateful for this award. He deserves it; couldn't have happen to a sweeter guy. Casey, you rock! GOD bless you and your beautiful family!
when you can watch a film and become so-engrossed that you forget you're watching a screen but rather a documentary about someones life, you know it's oscar worthy. What a film, gritty and real and doesn't to finish need a fancy bow tie to wrap everything up, making it even more real. That not everything in the real world ends with the protagonist riding off into the sunset with the girl around his arm. Its a perfect mess of one mans struggles, and how he deals with them.
Why is everyone giving Casey a hard time? Yes he did some wrong things but that was the past. Can people just be happy that he performed so flawlessly?? All those people who keep letting his wrongs get in their fucking head does not know real talent!
Lily Bettinelli + What wrongs? Do these women have any evidence to back up their case? No? Then they should just shut up and quit wasting the courts time. No point in making a case when there’s no evidence!
Watching Manchester by the Sea right now. He's already brought me to tears twice and I still have 30 min to go. Damn you Casey and your perfect acting.
I got caught up in the whole media backlash and was against him winning but then decided to watch Manchester and Jesse James out of curiosity. I have to admit that he is an incredibly soulful, mesmerising actor - different from any other actor working today. Reminds me a little of the Brando-Clift-Dean triumvirate. So based on the quality of his acting, he deserves an Oscar, if not two (for Jesse James).
Frostbite I agree with pretty much everything you said- halfway through watching the film, I completely forgot about the accusations and why some were dead-set against him winning- it was that great a performance. Admittedly however, I thought he was brilliant in Jesse James, but Javier Bardem was still my pick for Supporting Actor that year.
I don't understand why many people complain about him winning the oscar. He was accused of harassment, but it was never proven to be truth. You should stop using that as excuse for why he shouldn't have won the oscar. Oscars are given to good actors, not good persons.
Well, certain people seem to get blackballed for these sort of things and others get a pass. There's no consistency, so I can understand why people get upset.
Alejandro Pérez Rodilla Here's a radical thought Maybe award shows should stop celebrating shitty people But I didn't expect any thing less from the oscars any way he's not the first piece of shit (or alleged piece of shit before you come at me) to be awarded and he won't be the last
those people are kellyane conway from the left, just making stuffs up and spreading groundless shit to make themselves look like some kind of sJw hero.
Alejandro Pérez Rodilla I would actually agree with you, if Affleck hadn't done everything in his power in order to win. He skipped press conferences, avoided red carpet interviews, and allegedly medias were advised not to discuss about it as they would end up getting limited access to Ben Affleck and Matt Damon (who produced the film Casey won for). We also don't know what happened with Nate Parker's trial but he got shut out of award season despite its film getting good reviews at the beginning of last year (why? Because race and lack of good PR which Casey had). Also, I am pretty tired of Hollywood slandering Trump but celebrating that kind of men (also Gibson, Polanski and Allen). I understand they are not running for presidency but it is 2017 and a little bit of humanity is requested.
Captain Vagina tried to spoil this moment. Manchester by the Sea will be shown in writing classes 100 years from now, whereas whatshername has already been forgotten.

@@lightbrightdove aww, that's sweet. thanks for telling me :)
I just watched the film yesterday at last, after deferring it for so long. I was moved to tears. I regret sleeping on it before. Man, it's such a powerful, beautiful film. The cast was simply amazing. The script, the pacing. Ah the music, the photography. All of the shots were incredible. The actors and actresses shine so beautifully. All of them were just great; and Casey was, deservedly so, at his utter best. I know, they're late... but congratulations. We need more films and more portrayals like these.
Me too. Just watched it for the first time. Amazing. Love your profile pic too; timeless album.
Watch "blue valentine" if you havnt !
Wasn’t enough shit getting blown up for most moviegoers.
Casey’s performance was the best performance of the decade, Not just that year.
I bet you haven't seen Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman in The Master. They both won Volpi Award for Best Actor which even more credible than Oscar.
One of best but not the best
It was good but nowhere near best of the decade
Joker???
I don't get it. IMO he just walked around looking constipated the entire time. I figured he was too traumatized from the fire and had to repress his emotions but even in the big fire scene he never broke down, just had that constipated look. I think his method was eating just meat and cheese during filming.
Ben was happier than Casey was, lol...
i think matt damon was more happier, hahaha
Yeah
*Ben is great 👍👍👍*
This lineup of performances is the very best the Oscars have ever come up with-all those 5 actors deserved to be up on that stage, and I'm happy that Affleck won. Magnificent performance.
@Damien Montero It's been three years, but you're right. The 2020 Best Actor Line up is even better
"Ben, I love you. You ain't heavy."
I'm watching this in 2020, a few days after the delivery of this year (which by the way 2019 was a great great year for the cinema), Cassey really deserve that Oscar, Manchester by the sea is a sad and shocking bomb, all this thanks to its interpretation.
who noticed denzel holding back his tears
It seemed as if everyone was holding back tears.
Marky Ochoa holding ? holding what ? ,we all know the casey affleck didin't deservet man fuck him
treituus scavenger Fuck you man, go and watch the actual movie. I saw all these movies and Casey Affleck our o the performance of his career
o no its a casey affleck fangirls crying bitch
Affleck delivered the better performance, and nearly everyone would agree if it weren't for his shameful past.
Brie’s face when she announced it ... a great actress indeed 😂
Goshhhh, you saw it too. Even that courtesy hug she gave him. The only reason she did that was because he hugged the other lady before her. But she hated every moment of it as she stood there looking like a queen
Giddy Od why dies Brie totally look like she didn’t want to be there? Like wow smile naturally.
@@viksaggu9085 lol i feel when she opened that letter, and saw his name, she was like FUCK! Just keep smiling, just keep smiling
@@viksaggu9085 probably because casey affleck was being accused of 2 cases of sexual assault. would you smile in that situation? I don't think i would, not exactly the best guy to repersent all leading males in hollywood
Good for her. She was probably fuming inside
Matt damon jumping off his seat is friendship goals right there
3 years later and this is still my favorite Oscar win, even though Joaquin is a close second
yep, the best ever.
@@madzkl6179 I prefer Casey over Phoenix. Joaquin is a bigger name and his performance as Joker was devastating. However I put him 2nd place cause in my opinion Ledger's Joker was even better.
@@madzkl6179
Question. What make Phoenix the best actor or your or this generation? The fact that he won an oscar? Golden goble, Sag award?
Can you provide more details why he is the best In your opinion?
Cause if you think he is the best cause he won it all, lot of actors has done that... With biggers success at the box office. I'm a fan of Phoenix don't get me wrong. But you're putting him and defending him as a God. And here is where I have a problem.
And about the Joker, of course heath gotta be his favorite actor, he was his inspiration. It's like when you're a supervisor your inspiration is your manager cause one day you want to become the one in charge. That's exactly what happened he was the supervisor and when ledger passed away he became the manager.
Of course gotta be his favorite actor if ledger was alive Phoenix would not be the joker today. Never.
And you know it.
@@madzkl6179 everyone knows that health ledger is Phoenix's favorite actor, don't come here pretending to be the "know it all guy". You know it cause you saw his speech at the Sag award, at the end after complimenting all other actors he acknowledged Ledger as his favorite actor. So don't come to UA-cam trying to embarrass me like I know it cause you told me. Come on, give me a break.
And by the way, the best of this generation? Then why was he losing all the roles to DiCaprio? He said it at the Sag awards. He is extremely talented and awesome, I'm a fan of the guy.
But brother... putting him as the best at the top, against people like day Lewis even though he retired, agaisnt people like DiCaprio, Washington, Christian etc putting him as the best, Is way too much.
@@madzkl6179please who are you calling fanboy? Ma nigga Look at yourself in the mirror. You came to a Casey Affleck video to introduce and defend Joaquin Phoenix in a post which is not related to this incredible actor.
The best actor of this generation who was losing roles to DiCaprio.
Why didn't you address that part?
When I saw Manchester by the Sea for the first time, there was no question in my mind that Casey would win Best Actor.
The previous year when I saw The Revenant, I said to myself "If DiCaprio doesn't win the Oscar this year, I'm done with those guys." Thankfully, he finally did get what was rightfully his.
@@MrChaotic4 It was not nearly that convincing. But we all were very happy for him for sure.
Yeah, I mean I love all the nominees, they all did a great job but man Casey's performance and the movie itself really hit different
He was so great in this film, especially the scene in the police station and the dialogue between him and Michelle Williams' character
ikr.i cried during that scene, it's so strong
I just watched the movie and these scenes really haunted me! Bawled my eyes out
The respect for Denzel from Casey's opening line to the speech moved me!
He thanked him on every award evenings. And he swoop like every award that year.
It was kinda like fate. Denzel won his first Oscar for his performance in 1989's Glory, a film about an All African-American regiment in the Civil War, led by colonel Robert Gould Shaw (depicted by Matthew Broderick), who came from an imminent Boston family. Then in 2017, he lost to Casey Affleck, who is actually a distant cousin to Robert Gould Shaw (by way of marriage through his grandmother). And I believe Denzel knew the connection. Casey even subtly mentioned this connection in his speech. I bet both feilt a bit spooked.
I was head over heels for La La Land when it came out. And was annoyed why Ryan Gosling didn't win. Dumb, I know. But now that I've watched Manchester by the Sea, whooo boy, there was really no chance for anybody else.
Aweee, Ben's face! He looks soo happy for his little brother
Tat Maranhao musics nscional
Ben fell off
*Cousin
@@TokyoKazama *brother
Matt Damon looked happier
One of the best performance on screen I've seen for many years
Very well deserved Casey ! (In the assassination of Jesse James you were amazing too)
Those who think Casey didn't give nomination worthy performances in the past...please watch "Out of the furnace" ...and you will remember him forever.
Casey Affleck is a Superb actor. Fascinating in every role. Keep acting Casey. Your career is fun to watch
Great to see the Academy rewarding a more subtle performance for once.
It was not subtle by any means. He brought so much to that role even tho it looked subtle. The emotion I felt watching the movie was unbearable.
@@Abiramez It was definitely a less transformative part like many Oscar winners before and after him in the leading category in which the actor had to put on a big make-over to become his character or to resemble a person from real life. Casey just had to go into this role and look himself and act like himself, just a regular guy without make-up, weight change, or an accent and conveyed the power of his performance through his emotional pain.
true. I love christian bale but I hope the world cares less about his “body transformation”
Well put
I love this speech. So simple and very personal. Without some pretentious bullshit about saving the world or whatever.
Exactly and it has become fashion to speak bullshit and nauseating to hear coming from these Hollywood hypocrites.
How is talking about saving the world pretentious?
@@abdealihamid2631 maybe world just needn't be save?
@@abdealihamid2631 because its used in almost every speech every year, yet it’s ironic because these people have no right to talk about saving the world.
@@bbash578 Rigth cause you stalk them every hour of the day and know what they're doing to help save the world. Only pretentious things here are you and the other guy
Affleck is a giant.
It's one of best performances in Film History.
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
I love Casey affleck, but did you watch hacksaw ridge? That had to be a hard choice.
@@cathypennington2474 The whole lineup were all deserving of the win, they all played their characters so, so well but Casey, to me, played his the best.
Sure, Andy is absolutely brilliant. He's one of my faves.
Anyway, Affleck gives a performance of a lifetime, one of best acting I've ever seen.
He's a giant!
Yup it will be studied in decades to come.
Yeah
*Ben is great 👍👍👍*
I find the whole 'brie isn't clapping' moment to be overblown... I mean she's holding the award and the letter... *how is she supposed to clap?*
1:30 look, she's holding nothing, and not clapping :)
@@shrinewitch She is lame
she said in an interview she didnt clap on purpose. i cant stand her
My favorite part of the whole thing is when Ben came to hug Casey like the big brother he is! Casey totally deserved that Oscar, and what's better is that he could brag on how he won an acting Oscar before Ben!
Ben already won 2 oscars but not for acting. He won for original screenplay for “Good will hunting” and best picture “Argo”
He said "acting" oscar
"before Ben" haha as if Ben is ever getting an Oscar for acting
If he can't act, how's he still making movies and how did Argo win best picture?
Ben just wanted some light on him too.
Everyone talks about Brie's reaction during this speech, but Chrissy Teigen @ 2:40 😂😂😂
She’s talentless. She’s only famous because of her husband. Just maybe she’s sleeping because she knows the only reason she’s at the oscars is because of John Legend
She always sleeps 😴😴 😂😂😂
Chrissy Teigen is a jerk. She spends most of her time defending her wealth.
Jane Dough she could have just been tired bc it’s a very long night. It didn’t have to be something personal against affleck
Dean Gulberry just a bitch who wants all white actors to be fired and replaced with black actors cuz all whites are racist.
Damn, that might be the most substantial nod to his brother conveyed in the fewest words possible... "And Ben, I love you. You ain't heavy."
Seeing Ben Affleck happy for his brother and Matr Damon happy for the brother of his best friend is amazing! 🙏🏾🙌🏾
I LOVED Casey Affleck in Manchester by the Sea. Cried my eyes out! I also thought Andrew Garfield did an outstanding job in Hacksaw Ridge. They're both deserving in my opinion, glad one of them won. Two excellent performances!
His performance in "Manchester by the Sea" was so moving, well deserved Oscar!
Bacu89 I'm sorry but he didn't deserve it, Andrew Garfield should have won the Oscar.
Eric Burns If Affleck didn’t win, I definitely woulda loved to see Garfield win!
William James it was far more than decent lol you probably saw the wrong movie
William James Hacksaw Ridge was the best film of 2016.
He was up against some heavy hitters. Been a huge fan of his since To Die For in the 90's. Just love him. The brotherly love here when he won was awesome.
I saw an interview of Christian bale . He was promoting his new movie out of the furnace co staring casey Affleck in that interview Christian said that casey is unbelievablely talented he said that don't see this movie for me or for anything else see it just for the work casey did...he was phenomenal. He recognised his talent and even appreciated it publically and now 3 years later here is casey clinching his first for best actor categy which is a huge achievement.. congratulations casey we love you 🎉
That movie ripped off the deeer hunter so badly
I love when the Oscar goes by itself to whom deserves rather than crawling so many years to get it, in that year Casey’s performance was incomparable with any of the other nominations, that specifically why it was severely known whom it’s going to before even reading the name!
You know Denzel won SAG right?
Just remembering his performance in Manchester by the Sea makes me tear up.
Manchester by the Sea is a masterpiece
One of the finest performances of all time. Breaks my heart and makes me cry every darn time. That scene between him n Michelle💔
Can anyone explain to me why Denzel looks SO pissed ? He already got an oscar in 2002
I love Denzel, but its all about awards for that man. After he got the SAG, he was uber pumped and started campaigning like fuck, but the Academy were wise with this one and gave it to the best performance by any male or female of the year, and one of the best of the decade. Denzel loves awards, one time after winning his first SAG, he was asked about his SAG award, and he replied "sometimes my Oscars talk to my SAG at night" or something along those lines. Denzel needs awards to bolster his ego and so he can be viewed as one of the greats. Even with no Oscars, I thought he was always one of the best, but he is one egotistical man no doubt.
Vincent Arderiu
So ?
Just because you've gotten an Oscar doesn't mean you are never gonna deserve one again
Plus he won the sag which usually means you are on lock to win the Oscar so he might have thought he was gonna win
he won sag because of all these controversies, so they chose a "better human being", lol. they all knew casey is the absolute best that year.
@A is Here Yeah it's a shallow behavior to me, especially since the first thing Casey did was paying tribute to him in front of the whole audience...
but whatever... no more judgment, maybe it was so important for him that he forgot to act dignified
I think Denzel only won the SAG because he had never won one before, Casey Affleck had won most of the other awards (Golden Globes, BAFTA, Critic's Choice and most of the critic's awards)
Rarely have i been so convinced of a character's guilt, regret and pain as i was by Mr. Affleck in Manchester by the Sea. Amazing performance, by far one of the best performances of this century, i can't understand why so many people complain, even though Denzel was great too (and i loved Viggo Mortensen as well).
As a Garfield Fan It Was Such A Beautiful Moment To See Him Nominated. But Affleck Deserved the Award No Cap.
Now he is nominated again!!!
@@benny_lam but i think he will lose to will Smith.🤷🏼♂️
Que difícil decidir entre estas grande y tan emocionales actuaciones, todos hicieron actuaciones impresionante y cada una me conmovió, pero sin duda super merecido para Casey como logro contener las emociones en esa película, realmente impresionante, una de mis fav
Casey Affleck, Andrew Garfield, Denzel Washington, Ryan Gosling and Vigoo?!?! Can I just melt this down and make 5 Oscar medals and buy them all a glass of champagne? DAMN Nice list
This is easily one of the best wins of this century, period.
Carlos Chirinos Watch Captain Fantastic. Viggo deserved this one. He did the same job as Casey Affleck looking after one kid but did it with several
CENTURY? lol it wasn't even the best win of the night
century ? wtf are you smoking ?
Are you on drugs lol. For one you’re reaching, and two this guy is disgusting and an assaulter.
@Behzingas Dad or Denzel Washington from Fences
I thought this guy was accused of sexual misconduct by various women?
These kind of statements are misleading and hurtful. On a film set in 2010 someone said Casey made passes at them. The case was settled on court and Casey has directly solved things with THE WOMAN. They both feel good and considered working together recently.
I love Casey, but Andrew had Hacksaw Ridge & Silence that year. He should've easily won
Casey had Manchester By The Sea so he easily won that award
Casey 100% deserved this. He and Denzel were both great, but Casey's performance changed me.
Wow. That was an amazing speech. Casey was so humble and grateful for this award. He deserves it; couldn't have happen to a sweeter guy. Casey, you rock! GOD bless you and your beautiful family!
Admire the brotherhood between Casey and Ben...... nothing like having a brother (older or younger) that’s always there for you.
1:04 El abrazo con su hermano Ben ante los ojos de Matt Damon, es un gran momento.
El discurso también.
when you can watch a film and become so-engrossed that you forget you're watching a screen but rather a documentary about someones life, you know it's oscar worthy. What a film, gritty and real and doesn't to finish need a fancy bow tie to wrap everything up, making it even more real. That not everything in the real world ends with the protagonist riding off into the sunset with the girl around his arm. Its a perfect mess of one mans struggles, and how he deals with them.
Why is everyone giving Casey a hard time? Yes he did some wrong things but that was the past. Can people just be happy that he performed so flawlessly?? All those people who keep letting his wrongs get in their fucking head does not know real talent!
nop. what he did isn't normal and no one is letting it go. you are a woman, please think about it
Lily Bettinelli + What wrongs? Do these women have any evidence to back up their case?
No? Then they should just shut up and quit wasting the courts time. No point in making a case when there’s no evidence!
Honestly the most deserving Oscar ever, can't believe how amazing and heart wrenching that film was
casey is criminally underrated in most performances he’s ever done. he deserved this, he blew everyone away and out of the park with that performance.
Wth do you know? Stop speaking for everyone.
@amandaanderson6568hold on to that while the rest of us enjoy his very healthy career, long into the future :)
@amandaanderson6568 I sleep fine.
Watching Manchester by the Sea right now. He's already brought me to tears twice and I still have 30 min to go. Damn you Casey and your perfect acting.
I got caught up in the whole media backlash and was against him winning but then decided to watch Manchester and Jesse James out of curiosity. I have to admit that he is an incredibly soulful, mesmerising actor - different from any other actor working today. Reminds me a little of the Brando-Clift-Dean triumvirate. So based on the quality of his acting, he deserves an Oscar, if not two (for Jesse James).
Good insights. Didn't catch the Clift until your mentioning it. Spot on.
Wow. Totally agree, very interesting insight.
Frostbite I agree with pretty much everything you said- halfway through watching the film, I completely forgot about the accusations and why some were dead-set against him winning- it was that great a performance.
Admittedly however, I thought he was brilliant in Jesse James, but Javier Bardem was still my pick for Supporting Actor that year.
Ben is almost crying of happiness..love of a brother..
Andrew garfield should've got this
Against Casey Affleck in Manchester By The Sea? Hmm not a chance
Best performance of the year! So raw! So real!
It's ironic that people like him and Roman Polanski win Oscars, but they snub James Franco because of "may-or-not-be-true" accusations.
I don't understand why many people complain about him winning the oscar. He was accused of harassment, but it was never proven to be truth. You should stop using that as excuse for why he shouldn't have won the oscar. Oscars are given to good actors, not good persons.
Well, certain people seem to get blackballed for these sort of things and others get a pass. There's no consistency, so I can understand why people get upset.
Alejandro Pérez Rodilla
Here's a radical thought
Maybe award shows should stop celebrating shitty people
But I didn't expect any thing less from the oscars any way he's not the first piece of shit (or alleged piece of shit before you come at me) to be awarded and he won't be the last
Don't get why someones private life should influence anything. The award is about acting and finding the best in the field. That's what matters.
those people are kellyane conway from the left, just making stuffs up and spreading groundless shit to make themselves look like some kind of sJw hero.
Alejandro Pérez Rodilla I would actually agree with you, if Affleck hadn't done everything in his power in order to win. He skipped press conferences, avoided red carpet interviews, and allegedly medias were advised not to discuss about it as they would end up getting limited access to Ben Affleck and Matt Damon (who produced the film Casey won for). We also don't know what happened with Nate Parker's trial but he got shut out of award season despite its film getting good reviews at the beginning of last year (why? Because race and lack of good PR which Casey had). Also, I am pretty tired of Hollywood slandering Trump but celebrating that kind of men (also Gibson, Polanski and Allen). I understand they are not running for presidency but it is 2017 and a little bit of humanity is requested.
this is your year, Andrew.
Captain Vagina tried to spoil this moment. Manchester by the Sea will be shown in writing classes 100 years from now, whereas whatshername has already been forgotten.
A lot of people are bashing Denzel Washington but I think that's his typical expression. I don't think he's that kind of person who smiles a lot.
Matt and Ben's reactions were the best 😭
Casey undoubtedly deserved this one!
Casey affleck performance literally wet my eyes ... Such an excellent he was
Yep, deserved this! Also just love something about his voice, the way he speaks... could listen to him all day long!
Yeah I too feel his voice is something special 👏
i watched this movie and his performance is the best ever by an actor,i cried and cried for several days.god bless cesaey.
I just watched this and the grief I felt is so profound I cannot sleep now. I am so glad he won an Oscar for this
the movie and the performance is incredible, but he’s a sexual harasser so… let’s not bless him
Andrew Garfield will win one eventually.
