"I see white people." The brilliant thing about that line is that Duncan and Willis were friends before they shot The Green Mile or Sixth Sense. Duncan also credited Willis for introducing him to Darabont the director
@Iago Willis wasn’t in it. Although, I think MC Duncan declared at the time that Bruce was like a Hollywood guardian Angel for him and was going to thank him first if he received the award. Not sure but I think he didn’t get it and Tom Cruise did. Probably for Magnolia. In witch he was absolutely great. Awards aren’t important anyway.
“Oh this thong is killing me” “I see white people” “You know what I’m still the coolest guy in the room” lmfao!!! Billy Crystal = best Oscars host ever! 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He is stating what the actors could possibly be thinking. It's clearly not what they're actually thinking but the way Billy Crystal phrases these thoughts and the way they match the actors facial expressions is priceless.
1999 was the BEST year in Hollywood cinema. Actually, they've never reached this level again: American Beauty, Magnolia, Fight Club, The Matrix, Eyes Wide Shut... just to mention three... damn! that was a year full of masterpieces
As I was doing an university project, I just started listening to videos of people winning Oscars, lol. This one just automatically got played after another video and, oh my, I laughed so hard. This was so different than other segments of modern Oscars and actually enterntaining and light.🔥
This my sir is known as pure humor and the level of jokes witj dignity without passing on personal comments in colleagues mental /medical conditions or dwelling into their personal lives on any level. This level is something which self assumed comedians with squeaky voices can't achieve.
Wow looking back in the past seeing who was alive at that time and is gone now seeing what different phases everybody's in their lives memories memories memories where were we all at in 2000? The good choices the bad choice we made to where we are here today
Micharl Clarke Duncan was fuckong thrilled that evening. He was generally a little kid this day. He always smiled, laughed his head of and congratulated everyone from the bottom of his hearts. good stuff, good guy!
I don't think we'l ever have such iconic actors in the future. It already started with lots of random actors in new movies. Most of them don't even return for other films.
Seeing Michael Clarke Duncan laugh so loud and honestly and cheerfully really made my day better, thank you.
Same here, it was really nice to see him enjoy that joke. He deserved that Oscar...😔
Amen to that. Michael was such an amazing actor, a true gentleman and an incredible human being. 🙏💫
Right, this was a spontaneous laughter. Getting rarer and rarer. Nowadays everybody is walking on egg shells, they're all afraid their reactions could get them in trouble.
He was such a nice man. Loved
Same here bro
Jack is always the coolest one in the room- he got that one straight on haha
He was born as the coolest guy in the room!
@movingonandup773 Richards said in his book Jack was the only one he had to call it quits on a night out
Hes embarrassing at Lakers games so i guess Staples doesnt count
That’s why he will always be the best joker, he doesn’t have to act cool he just is.
Born to be the COOLEST....
RIP Michael Clark Duncan... we miss you very much!

CORRECTION: Meryl was nominated that year for "Music of the Heart", not "One True Thing"; that was her nominated film the previous year.
the wall street journal actually polled quite a number of insiders and they published who they think were the winners based on that. got lot of flack for that and they didn't repeat that ever again lol
Yeah he is a cool guy
u did a better job presenting the video that the poster , that should've been in his description !
Jack Nicholson sudden realization of that he's on screen is the best part of the clip
The way Jack Nicholson's expressions change 🤣
And Billy is right, he was and still is the coolest man in the room!
@Stelios Stylios Then he's high 24/7 because he always wears them...🤷♂️
I love how Russell Crowe is like "Yep. I totally need one."
It's a joke because he's there because of the film The Insider which was the biopic of Jeffery Wigand.
Reactions by Judi Dench and Michael Clark Duncan are absolutely priceless!
Dench would have looked great in a thong when she was younger, she was quite sexy.
No politics, laughing with and at each other in the nicest way possible, positive vibe, all feeling appreciate of their success...miss that time

Priceless
I could not help laughing.
yeah and it must have been even more relevant back then because sixth sense was nominated , everyone got it
"I see white people."
The brilliant thing about that line is that Duncan and Willis were friends before they shot The Green Mile or Sixth Sense.
Duncan also credited Willis for introducing him to Darabont the director
Plus, they appeared in the Whole Nine Yards together, which was released one month before this ceremony
Scott Vasquez yeah, but Michael Clarke Duncan didn’t get to be in the sequel cuz he acted like an ass on the set of the first one.
@Iago Willis wasn’t in it. Although, I think MC Duncan declared at the time that Bruce was like a Hollywood guardian Angel for him and was going to thank him first if he received the award.

Agree 100%
jack nicholson is the best

the last one.. absolutely right !!!
Why do i have the impression that is exactly what J. Nicholson was thinking

Billy Crystal is a natural entertainer. And yes, Nicholson's always the coolest guy in the room.
Jack is the eternal cool guy. And he knows it.
Jack and Meryl's reactions were just hilarious.
That actually takes some skill
this is how humour should be done - witty without being cruel

JACK NICHOLSON: I'm still the coolest guy in the room!---right, he is fantastic, I'm a fan
The coolest guy in the room. Damn right!!!!
Well, that line about Jack was the most accurate thing in the oscars, especially with Nicholson's mustache
Even before watching this, We all know that Jack is always the coolest one !
Remember when the oscars had good hosts
Remember when the oscars actually HAD hosts!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watching Jack Nicholson is dope! The coolest guy ever!
Judi Dench putting her head down RIGHT before his line "oh, this tjong is killing me" is GOOOLDEN TIMING!!!!!!
Future edition:
Jada: "He better not say anything about my head"
Will: "He better not say anything about my wife"
Still the coolest guy in the room.
1:51 It's all fun and games until the camera points at you 😂 you can see Jack yelling "stop" at Billy. Thank God he wasn't roasted 😂
can you imagine how awful if someone who get roasted go to stage, slap his face and destroy this moment?
What a great moment!!
“I see where people” got a good laugh. A lot of people would be too shy to make that joke now but that was actually perfect lmfao.
Dang 19yrs ago crazy how time flies. They should bring this kinda thing back to the Oscars.
This is pure genius! Love it.
1:20 is the best moment of the video
