#Oscars #BestActress #FrancesMcDormand #academyawards #Fargo #nicolascage
I was a personal assistant for Frances for 4 yrs. She was the kindest woman I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, when my Dad was dieing of colon cancer she paid for all of his doctor's expenses and for his final services and gravestone.......
Ty Frances, you will forever be in my heart and prayers.......
Wow that was very kind of her. Sorry to hear that about your father though.
She is beyond amazing!
WOW! I don't even know what to say behind that. Except to say that Frances McD is among the magic elite of Hollywood stars who are God's chosen. Thank you for sharing this. My heart thanks you as well. God bless.
How wonderful!
Through people's eyes you can see how good or bad someone is.
My grandma used to tell me that and I think she was right. Frances has so shy and humble expressions.
She has a BIG heart, is a very GREAT actress (The best after Meryl) and not obsessed with celebrity at all.
I really love her....🥰
Frances gangster walk is on fleek
Yup!
She also had done it at BAFTA and at SAG's.
L e s b i a n
@@paulstevens6043 why because of her power walk?
@@beatricewoods8377 Everything. Her spirit.
Everyone gets a standing ovation now, but back then it was super rare...and she got one. She commands such incredible respect within the industry.
"Allowing directors to make autonomous casting decisions based on qualifications and not just market value."
Well said, Frances!
This year, it should be "...not just market value, sex or ethnicity."
So good
She was acting in Coen's movies before was involved with Joel
I think she was being shady about madonna. She was snubbed for evita.
1997 First Oscar
2018 Second Oscar
2021 Third and Fourth Oscar
LEGEND
I am sure the fourth one will be there somewhere.
@@porkolabs Technically she did win her fourth this year because she was one of the producers of Nomadland, so she won an Oscar not only for Best Actress, but also for Best Picture.
Is she coming for Katherine hepburns crown
Both Frances McDormand and Katharine Hepburn share a lot of commonalities than you think. Apart from being the only women to win 3 or more Best Actress Oscars, their awards trajectories are virtually identical too! Both won their first Oscars early in their careers and the remaining 3 in each case (including the producing win for McDormand) all coming AFTER turning 60 (both won their 2nd Oscars at age 60, with the third one coming almost immediately after (McDormand's third acting win was 3 years after her 2nd, while Hepburn's 2nd and 3rd wins were in consecutive years)).
In the 90s you know you are really good when you get a standing ovation :)
So many great Oscar-winning performance in the 90's. Tom Hanks, Anthony Hopkins, Jodi Foster, Hilary Swank, Frances McDormand, Kathy Bates
Unlike today where a standing ovation is given just for showing up...
@@fp5495 Because right now the ceremony is too long. By the time best actor/actress category come, people want to stand up and stretch lol
I just saw the movie and she doesn't do an extraordinary performance like I thought, and she only appears on screen in the middle of the movie
@@frederic3988 Al Pacino, Susan Sarandon, and Geoffrey Rush too..
Who's here after she won her 3rd Oscar as a leading actress?
Meeeee!!! Lol.
All her 4 Oscar speeches have been on the mark and always fighting for the same thing. Equal opportunity in Hollywood to adequately bring out in film the diverse nature of real life.
Respect to this lady. Love her.
Especially in Burn After Reading!😂😂❤❤❤
Me! What a legendary person.
90% of the scenes in Nomadland were so short that it makes it easier to get an Oscar for acting. Plus the film industry is at an all-time low when it comes to quality films.. just look at how many completely forgettable movies have been made in the last 4-5 years. I liked Nomadland very much and thought Frances McDormand was very good in the film but considering the sheer lack of decent films made the last few years it makes it much easier to get nominated and even win an Academy Award. The film industry was 10x better in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s then it is today. Meryl Streep is in my personal opinion still the Best becuase she has been nominated 17 times back when it was much harder to get a nomination and and an actual Win.
@@patr70 tv is where the best work is being put in these days.
Present!
Diane Keaton is always laughing like she just heard the best joke ever. Thanks to her for making people smile!
True, I adore her smile
She was hilarious when she won. She giggled like there's no tomorrow when Hepburn won. She was literally beaming when Theron won. Annie is a national treasure and a very good sport! Fun fact Keaton and McDormand were sisters in SGG! And a Reds reunion with the Jack to boot!
She doesn't take herself seriously.
She's an international treasure!
She's such a super lady.
Copacetic
Great quote:P
Copacetic lol. Who could ever forget that character? Not on screen long, but he made himself so memorable.
😂😂
YAHHHH
Oh yaaa? You betcha
One of the polished, sensible, creative Oscars speeches that actually has meaning.
And still relevant. Hollywood has lots of issues about castings and talent fees.
Yes!
I love that badass little strut she did on the way up. She is so awesome.
@octoberfire13 I was thinking that. Did Conor copy the lady from Fargo?
if every Oscar speech could be so smart. i also love her little strut as she walks across the stage.
I know. :-) That was fucking awesome!!
I really think she was just having trouble in heels.
+Moonpie Shane Yes, that speech actually has some sense which the others lack.
Best back ground music ever when going up to receive an oscar award. Mind blowing.
EXACTLY. EXACTLY.
+magesticmaniacc I actually saved some of these Oscar winning moments as mp3., cause of the damn good music! Like this and Silence of the Lambs etc. :)
+raza shamsi The music is from the movie. It was composed by Carter Burwell. Great composer, he does the soundtrack for all the Coen brother movies.
What's the name of this music ?
Outstanding music!!
As Oscar speeches go this was one of the best.
+mickigoe Exaclty. It was polished, sensible and creative. Plus it actually has meaning.
+mickigoe great actress, fantastic performance, average speech.
She's at it again with those perfect speeches.
What an incredible category. To win against Emily Watson in Breaking The Waves is a huge achievement in itself but Frances was pitch perfect in Fargo.
+quillber "Pitch Perfect" is spot on!!!
Breaking The Waves was heartshattering. One of the best breakout roles for an actress.
I think Emily Watson deserved more
I loved Fargo, but the character of Frances, didn't really impress me, I mean, we saw her after 30 minutos the film start, and she just performed a pregnant "sarcastic" chief, she spent her time, eating, driving, and just that... while Emily Watson, she was raped, she undress herself, she was beated, she was hated by a whole town, and she "talk" with God in her mind, Emily Watson's performance is 10 times better than Frances, and there's something funny, I saw her in 3 Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, and in my opinion, she deserve it, we saw all her faces, she reminds me at Margot Channing, she had the balls for that role... what do you think?
@@ShamsiR1 so do I
She will become the 14th actress to have won best actress multiple times. Joining a list that includes:
Vivien Leigh
Katharine Hepburn
Elizabeth Taylor
Olivia DeHavilland
Ingrid Bergman
Sally Field
Jane Fonda
Glanda Jackson
Louise Rainer
Bette Davis
Hillary Swank
Jodie Foster
Meryl Streep
Tash21 she was an amazing actress and screen presence!
What about Cate Blanchett?
Or are we only counting actresses in a leading role?
“...won best actress multiple times.” There you go.
@@assadarlingtoni she will win more and more. She's one of the greatest actor to ever set foot on this planet. Anyway, Cate doesn't need to prove anything anymore and an Oscar trophy is just a bonus and an Oscar trophy or 10 wouldn't define you as an actress. Cate is just out of this world.
@@elijahsackville-glucksburg i agree :3
"And it's a beautiful day". She absolutely deserved this. "Yah, you betcha!"
Frances performed a stellar role in Fargo. Copying a Minnesota accent isn't easy. She never lost character during the entire movie. Coen did a great job at directing as well.
The Coens are Frances' lucky clover
Her husband and brother-in-law who both directed the film are from Minnesota so they must have helped her.
It's a very exaggerated Minnesota accent but it worked for the movie.
Live there for a couple years and People thereafter will hear the accent in your voice.
This is what any acting Oscar should be about, I forgot that I was watching Frances McDormand act and believed I was watching Marge Gunderson on the screen. She was so natural, so perfect I did that.
That walk at 1:20 Awesome!
+jesusfish Jennifer Lawrence did not just walk. She went down on her knees to get that Oscars trophy.
+Jon Sager Hahaha!
+Jon Sager 😂😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏
What cracked me up the most is at 1:16 when she enters to the stage, she struts in a very determined, strong-willed, proud of herself and somewhat angry manner. She's exceptional and exudes confidence when she walks across the stage but at first, I thought "Wait, why does she walks like she's going to kill someone ?" 👊👍
Nevertheless, Fargo is one of my favorite films ever and her character was very well played, she was a bubbly cop in an haunting environment. I loved her since Fargo and she made me laugh in Burn After Reading.
Ha! She did the same thing at the Golden Globes this year for Three Billboards.
By the third Oscar she’s just like “oh, again?!” and howled like a wolf.
*Even if she does nothing at awards shows she deserves the awards and we don't deserve her.*
The howling speech was Best Picture win. Best Actress speech was something about sword making. Also, the howling is in reference to the movie that just won Best Picture.
@@wytefoxx howling was a tribute to Michael WOLF Snyder, the sound mixer of the movie. He has died by suicide
@@wytefoxx It was actually a tribute to Michael Wolf Snyder, the sound designer of the film who had committed suicide a few months ago. Her howling was respecting a person we least care about but for Fran and Chloe, he meant a lot to them.
Frances - the wife - won the Best actress and Joel - the husband - won the Best Director, and Fargo - their film - won the Best Picture. What a night for them!
The English Patient won Best Director and Picture. The Coen Bros. won the screenplay.
English Patient won best picture, no Fargo.
With 20+ years perspective I think the consensus now is that Fargo was the better picture than the one that won (which I refuse to name because Weinstein pushed it.).
@@garymussell6543the Academy way back then was very conventional. Even the voting members were gullible. Unlike now that members are liberals and cannot be influenced by campaigns and perks.
Can't get mad at Frances winning but damn Breaking the Waves is a phenomenal movie. Wish Emily Watson won.
Me too.
SAME! Been two decades but I still can't believe Emily lost here :(
@@jeanricknunez7515 Me neither. But I read a few things as to why she didn't win- apparently she was "an outsider"! I am completely disappointed in this mentality. Now Oscars don't mean much to me..
@@handebarlas6248 is glenn close an "outsider" too ?
@@Alex-eh8fw I don't know what you mean. I am saying that I don't understand the "outsider" when it comes to giving an actor an award. An actor is an actor, no matter where they come from or whether they are a new face or not...This is not my wording, as I said I read it as the opinion of some film critics who sound as if they reflect the criteria as to how best actors and actresses are chosen.
Francis is so talented, so beautiful and so intelligent!! I LOVE WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT CASTING FOR TALENT AND QUALIFICATIONS AND NOT JUST THE MARKET VALUE of a female role. Right ON!! Let's have more women in interesting and important roles and not just pretty faces and bodies!
svenlundergard1 i
Now She has four oscars, three of them are for Leading Performance and one for Producing. She still stamps significant mark in film industry with her own way, and I am really delightful that her upright attitude and intrepid speech is still valid after 25 years. I truely believe those virtues that she already had will last until her dying day.
Thrilled that McDormand won, but I felt she and Emily Watson had the misfortune of going against each other the same year as they were equally deserving.
completely agree. Emily Watson was excellent.
I can't remember feeling prouder for anyone winning an award than I do for her. what a character she created in that film. You could feel her strength and the love she had for her husband. It was perfect!
Basically McDormand, Watson, and Blethyn (?) will be a three-way tied for me....such a rich year for best actress....but if I have to go with my heart, it'll go to Emily Watson for such a raw, emotionally-draining performance
kmpiano1 I agree with Armando. Even though I love Watson in "Breaking the Waves", I just don't see the Academy awarding her performance. So the next logical choice will be Blethyn (and it's a Mike Leigh movie!!)
I've got nothing against Frances, but Emily Watson really deserved that award, more than Frances, if you make a comparation, Emily's performance is stronger and hard-to-see, I love Frances, but her performance wasn't something subliminal for me... and I loved Fargo
@@christiansarrazin8564 that was really tough year. And like you said.... Emily Watson deserved that Oscar big time. Even Brenda Blethyn. But hey.... there is always just one winner, even just by 1 vote. And in this case , it was probably really close between those 3. And I can watch Fargo movie over and over and over again. That movie is just brilliant, every scene is a masterpiece. The English Patient won best movie...… just no. And if you know and remember SEINFELD tv show ( I don't know how old are you and where are you from) … there was one episode when Elaine Benes ( Julia Louise-Dreyfus ) had to go to see THE ENGLISH PATIENT movie , again, with her boss.... and she was like I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE , I CAN'T , IT'S TOO LONG, QUIT TELLING YOUR STUPID STORY ABOUT STUPID DESERT AND JUST DIE ALREADY , DIE !!! I felt same, watching it. Anyway....Juliette Binoche won an Oscar, well deserved, even movie was really boring.
@@ivanbrocko The English Patient is fine, just that. Fargo of course is a masterpiece but Mcdormand's Performance is not what I expect, I saw Fargo first than Breaking The Waves, but not everybody are open-mind, Oscars are racist, and Emily's Performance is so, not the typical young lady in problem, or the "marvelous" Marge. BUT Frances in Three Billboards, OMG!! She deserved it totally.
0:48 Kristin Scott Thomas, after the delayed applause, "I'm not going to win this, am I?"
Another class act, KST
Damn look at her walk up the stage.
People should watch Secrets and Lies, Brenda Blethyn's performance is something beyond words to me, I love Frances but this one was for Brenda.
Excellent movie, very underrated.
Emily Watson in Breaking the Waves was amazing as well.
I would say that Frances didn't deserve this Oscar at all, considering Emily's outstanding performance.
A Supporting Actress award would be okay.
+Christos Celluloidkid
Would have been patronizing and obvious. Frances was the lead. But I agree with you about Emily.
Christos: You can't win best supporting actress if you're the star actress of the movie. Fargo had zero females with over five minutes of screen time, besides her.
Brenda, Kristin and Emily still deserve their Oscars!
I love the way he announced her name I think he was genuinely surprised and happy for her.
msminmichigan They were in Raising Arizona together. She played his best friend’s wife.
Love Fargo, but Emily Watson's performance in Breaking The Waves should've gotten more recognition.
Jesus. Brenda's performance in Secret & Lies was at least 10x better than sum of Emily and Frances's performance. It is disgusting shame no one else mentions the fact
One of my favourite films and an amazing acceptance speech. I'm a man and felt moved by what she was saying!
You're a man and you felt moved? So what...? Congrats!?
Every 1996 movie Oscar should have gone to Fargo!
+Jeff Brown
How open-minded of you. Thank god you don't have a vote.
Channel: Also thank, "him," that I have a good sense of humor. I think you're missing that part, at least momentarily?! This is just my way of saying this is an awesome movie.
+Jeff Brown With that I certainly agree. Never seen anything quite like it.
I hated the film fargo
Adam Maclada If you haven't already, take a gander at Vanishing Point (1971). Many people think it's a car movie, but really it's not.
each time she won, she spoke about something extremely intellectually, made important points and forced everybody to question something and think. it's never the standard empty "thank you so much" speech. what a force she is
I’m hoping Sally Hawkins wins this year but McDormand is gonna get it again for _Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri_
i agree. and sam rockwell, who was the best thing in the movie.
after seeing three bilboards outside ebbing missouri, i initially found the movie underwhelming, maybe its the hype attached to the movie or something. but then i reflected on the families in ireland who have lost loved ones via murder and whose bodies have never been found and how the police give up on them. Frances Mcdormand did a fantastic job of displaying the anger and grief of a person whose had her daughter taken from her in the most violent way possible. the film thread a difficult line between the darkness of the subject matter and the dark humour. it was beautifully shot film. i dont think its a perfect film. in bruges is still Martin Mcdonagh best film. the rest are overhyped. and like a lot of irish people im getting a bit fed up of seeing Brendan Gleeson in everything.
Mark Daly no, Three Billboards is a masterpiece and the best movie of Martin McDonagh
we will agree to disagree then. But rockwell and mcdormand were superb in it. i think it will two time oscar winner frances mcdormand on 4th March and Sam Rockwell for best supporting actor. In bruges is martin mcdonagh best film. The rest were overhyped. and i have seen all them i couldnt see what all the fuss with the gaurd but i will concede that i thought Don Cheadle sparring with Brendan Gleeson was terrific. Calvary was overblown in the hype department. three billboards was beautiful to look at with great performances with Mcdomand and Rockwell. i i think this best stuff of the year stuff is nonsense. my pick for best for best film was manchester by the sea. but that went home empty handed. 2015s best film was inside/out. a masterpiece on every level.
The performances in Three Billboards are amazing, but the movie itself is super uneven and choppy. Do not even get me started on how sloppy the screenplay is. Margot, Sally, or Saoirse deserve to win this year, but Frances was also fantastic. It was a tremendous year for outstanding performances by women.
Who's here after just watching Frances collect yet another award? Nomadland Best Actress Award 2021, she is utterly amazing and will win many more in the years to come
Frances is winning since 1997!
I love her badass walk. She gave perfect comedic timing and a touching human performance in a film filled with corruption and murder. I love watching Fargo. One of the best written and acted films.
just finished watching Fargo for the first time. she's so fantastic in it! :D certainly well-deserved.
And now she just won her 3rd award for "Best Actress" with «Nomadland», she’s amazing!!! 🥺👏🏻
And her fourth as well for Best Picture.
She's also great 8n "Women Talking"!
She better win for 'Three billboards'
Dennis Caouki
Who do you think will be nominated?
Frances McDormand- Three Billboards
Sally Hawkins- The Shape Of Water
Margot Robbie-I, Tonya
Saoirse Ronan- Ladybird
Meryl Streep- The Post
Kev Low Exactly those 5 are my predictions too
Your perdiction was right
She was aaaaamazing in Three billboards!!!!!! #1 Well done!!!
Boy what a tough call! All of those actresses had Oscar worthy performances. And I remember watching the Oscars back in 1997 watching this
everyone talks about meryl, but Francés has more oscars for best actress, and the most incredible, leading rol
Now she has 4 Oscars, including one for Best Picture for _Nomadland_ which she won last week.
Who’s watching this after Francis won her Oscar in 2018?
And who's here after 2021?!!!
As much as I love Frances McDormand in 'Fargo', I do especially love the British Brenda Blethyn in 'Secrets and Lies', and would recommend everyone seeing this picture. Yes, that includes you. Why didn't you, yet?
And this year she come back for her second academy award
What a line-up. Brenda, Emily and Frances for me gave three of the best performances on screen - period. Any one of them deserved to win.
Lead actress category this year was sizzling.
Three best actress Oscars now
Good that you won the Oscar. You always deserve Frances. You are one of the cutest, most talented, funniest, most affective, most beatiful, most reality players. You played very admirable.
lol she not deserved the oscaar in that year. Blenda and Emilw were far better than her
That was a great thank you speech.
She's winning another one for 3 Billboards. She's excellent.
A very strong set of nominees. Even though Frances McDormand's performance in Fargo was excellent, I personally feel Brenda Blethyn and Emily Watson deserved it more. A great acceptance speech though...
Wow, after 20 years, the message of her winning speech remains the same...Well, i guess gender equality will be forever an issue and topic in Hollywood -_-
Seriously 😂😂 da fuck
Fargo is one of the most powerful films ever and Frances McDormand gave an extremely powerful performance and she definitely deserved it!!
Who's here after 3rd best actress trophy
Wow, what a great speech! I love how simple and sweet it was.
She's just won the Bafta Award today, hopefully she will go on to win the Oscar. Awesome actress.
Hands down one of my favorite actors. And now Frances has 4 Oscars in total.
Frances McDormand was first nominated for "Mississippi Burning".
Eight years later she wins for "Fargo".
And 21 years after that, she wins another Oscar for a movie with "Missouri" in the title.
Movies with location titles are her magic formula.
I mean, she won two for "Nomadland."
Just remembered Nic Cage and her were in Raising Arizona together! :)
that was holly hunter in raising arizona
oh i forgot she was in that sorry
McDormand is in it as well.
And she stole every scene she was in, which is hard to do when your costars are Holly Hunter and N Cage! McDormand is great in everything she touches.
One of the best performances ive seen . Very effective, not over the top, just the right punch.
She is incredible. Cool, intimidating, inspirational
That was a hell of a year for acting, the 5 women were amazing on their roles.
One of the most deserved Oscar wins ever. Frances as Marge is a wonderfully true film heroine.
Well deserved but Brenda Blethyn was AMAZING too. Hard choice but I do understand
This girl won 3 Oscars for the leading category tied with DDL.
I miss DDL so much!
The thing that I love about here and many people miss is that she never looks like she's acting.
0:46 : Beauty !
I wish she won the award
who else is watching this video after she won in 2018 oscars ?
here after watching all three of her Oscar wins backwards and I’m so happy to see that she never changed and is still the exact same person as she was 24 years ago
Fargo is one of the greatest films of all time. Period. Frances is superlative.
amazing
if you think that movie is one of the greatest then i think you need to stop putting LSD ontop your twinkies because that movie blowed.A masterpiece is a movie like goodfellas
0:57 I love how Nic Cage just goes full Con Air mode all of a sudden
She was just so amazing and captivating in Fargo! Such a deserved Oscar. Here’s hoping she wins again this year for Three Billboards...
this is one of the greatest speeches in academy awards history! great woman and great actress, bravo!
Emily Watson gave the best preference! She should’ve won! But I’m happy for Frances she gave a great preference!
Came here after her latest wins...
All her 4 Oscar speeches have been on the mark and always fighting for the same thing. Equal opportunity in Hollywood to adequately bring out in film the diverse nature of real life.
Respect to this lady. Love her.
Especially in Burn After Reading!😂😂❤❤❤
Fargo is my fav movie!
That "Bravo" at 2:40 is beautiful
Frances should win for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
Artur Lapurinsh shut the fuck up
ino's feet idi naxui
She won.
One of the most (and last) courageous choices of the oscar.
Along four moving and super- dramatic performances, Marge Gunderson might be one of the most memorable and essential characters in film History, personified impeccabely by McDormand.
She deserved BOTH Oscars! When I saw her in Mississippi Burning i knew she was the next Katharine Hepburn. I hate being right! One Streep. One Foster. One McDormand. Period.
1997 / 2018
you know what i'm talking about.
I love FARGO, 1 of my favourite movie of all time. & she is perfect, well deserved. But, she's even better in 3 billboards.
And this year AGAIN, she's the best.
And she will win again this year
One of my favorite acceptance speeches ever! She's as intelligent as she is amazingly talented.
Is this the only time the best actor or actress didn't even appear in a movie until 30 minutes after it starts?
+Jeff Brown Spencer Tracy came very close to that in Captains Courageous, 1937. But there are shorter performances in the lead category: Lionel Barrymore in A Free Soul, 1931; David Niven in Separate Tables, 1958; Simone Signoret in Room at the Top, 1959; Patricia Neal in Hud, 1963; Marlon Brando in The Godfather,1972; and Geoffrey Rush in Shine, 1996.
+Jeff Brown LOL, I saw this movie after she won the Oscar, so I thought she was gonna be in the movie right from the start. So there's the opening scene with the amazing score, car in the snow, and I was like Oh here she comes... oh no, that's not her. Okay, next scene. Here she is! ... Still no...
Jennifer Lawrence in Silver Linings Playbook also appeared about 20 to 25 minutes into the movie
Also Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs.
Reese Witherspoon in Walk the Line, she enters the picture after 30 minutes
She's my favourite actress and she totally deserved that win, also her dress is so pretty
Yeah, she won again in 90th Oscars for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Done.
One of the best, original, compelling roles ever tackled by an actress in motion picture history. The standing ovation and the award are much deserved. She was sensational in Fargo, a pregnant female cop channeling a powerful portrayal of a strong-willed mother whose vulnerability is thrust toward the call of duty.
Her arms are lit
Whos here after she just won her 3rd Oscar!?? And damn i miss good old Nicholas Cage 🙏
Frances mcdormand kinda looks like Sigourney weaver
Haha. I was thinking Edie Falco.
Corey Moore i can see that!!
Truly grandiose moment with the theme music there, no?
Second Oscar for Three Billboards yeeesssss😍
