One of the first ones that came to mind for me is Barbara Streisand saying, "Well the time has come...Kathryn Bigelow." That one sticks with me. I don't know if it's on the list, yet, but that was pretty iconic to me.
I think Spike Lee was happy that it wasn’t Quentin Tarrentino’s name on the envelope as he’s been very public about how much he dislikes Quentin and the abundance of times his movies uses the N-word. I think Spike wanted either Bong Jung-Ho or Martin Scorsese to win.
One more note about Samuel L. Jackson announcing Spike Lee's win - both Jackson and Lee attended Morehouse College (although not at the same time), and that "Tha HOUSE!" Jackson shouts at first is a salute to his fellow Morehouse alum.
@@gaylefranklin I'm a white lady who never went to Morehouse, I looked it up on the internet because I was curious. "Everybody" may not need to know but the info's already out there, I'm afraid.
I remember watching "Barbra Streisand" in "Funny Girl" and was taken by her presence not just her voice but through it all I was crying - she gave an "OSCAR" Performance despite having Katherine Hepburn, "Lion in Winter" both movies were great However, the ACTING was Magnificent by both actresses.
My personal favorite Oscar winning announcement of all time has got to be when Anne Bancroft announced Sidney Poitier as the winner. It’s so memorable to me because she was overjoyed when he won and she gave him a huge hug on stage, which was during the 1960’s! It was controversial to see a white woman physically embracing a black man at the time, but Anne did not care at all! She was in the right side of history and that moment has been immortalized on film!
While some don't agree with the win, I found it very moving when Yuh-Jung Youn "signed" the name that was in the envelope, signaling to the audience who it was. But the best part (for me) is when they show the nominee/winner reactions (I always go back to see each one individually). Most people don't "get" us Oscar "savants!"
The best bit about her signing the name - during the acceptance speech for her own win, she gently teased everyone for consistently mispronouncing her name. And then when she was presenting, she opened by reminding people about that and then said that now the shoe was on the other foot, because now SHE had to struggle with pronouncing THEIR names. But it clearly looks like she did her homework - because not only did she say Troy Kotsur's name right, she made a point of "pronouncing" it in BOTH languages.
My fave moment is when Clint Eastwood is announcing Best Director in 1994. He opens the envelope and says “And the Oscar goes to- this is a big surprise. Steven Spielberg for Schindler’s List.” He knew Spielberg was gonna win so it wasn’t a surprise really but it’s still funny to hear. lol
Completely off topic but I have always loved Barbara Streisand's entire look that night at the 1969 ceremony. Her hair and outfit was so perfect for her
When you brought up Barbra Streisand as #1, I though you were going to use her "It's about time!" announcement of Kathryn Bigelow winning Best Director.
My personal favorite Oscar winning announcement of all time has got to be when Anne Bancroft announced Sidney Poitier as the winner. It’s so memorable to me because she was overjoyed when he won and she gave him a huge hug on stage, which was during the 1960’s! It was controversial to see a white woman physically embracing a black man at the time, but Anne did not care at all! She was in the right side of history and it’s been forever immortalized on film!
Call it subtlety, but I do love Russell Crowe's calm announcement of saying Halle Berry for Monster's Ball for the Oscar win for Best Actress in 2002. He knew the moment was going to be big, and Halle's reaction would be bigger. It was perfect. Also, 2023, Jessica Chastain announcing with excitement Michelle Yeoh as Best Actress for Everything Everywhere All At Once, with Halle Berry personifying the excitement too.
I think that you might have misinterpreted Crowe's announcement. It was not a "calm announcement," it was an announcement "through gritted teeth." He was disappointed (mad) that his friend Nicole Kidman didn't win.
Another favorite, when Spielberg announced Best Director in 1995, he opened the envelope and said, “Alex, your father just won the Academy Award. Robert Zemeckis for Forrest Gump!” That was such a sweet moment. :3
I’m not sure what happened between Julia and Russel. But I think her “ I love my life “ was because her friendly relationship with Denzel since they worked together. She even more exited when saluted him at AFI. Imagine handing an award to a mate like Denzel.
One of my favorites is Marion Cotillard announcing Kate Winslet. It was so precious. There's also Meryl Streep announcing Daniel Day-Lewis. You don't even watch her opening anything, because she somehow did it during the clips I guess. She just announces it like it's the most obvious thing ever to happen. Iconic.
My favorite is Queen Latifah announcing that Three 6 Mafia won "Best Original Song" at the 78th ceremony since she began her career as a rapper and was genuinely surprised, but happy for them
George C, Scott in Patton. How could there be any doubt? One of the all time greatest performances ever. If you don't believe it, watch this great movie
I'm a BIG OSCAR FAN since my teens so I learned that through the years there are reasons why some actors/actresses are given the OSARS. One in particular was due to Elizabeth Taylor being hospitalized and despite her private live complications, she was given the Oscar for "Butterfield 8" in the 1960s. I did "LOVE" Alberto, an Italian actor whose performance was outstanding but mesmerizing due to the movie in Italian with subs. I know Italian so I could follow it. However, the ending of this movie shocked me because despite Alberto's funny antics THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE SCENES to keep his son smiling throughout his detention due to being Jewish, Alberto provides suspense until the end which is why I Love, the movie, "LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL."
So many amazing clips but that is the perfect #1 choice. Ingrid Bergman's best moment on the Oscars stage easily. And Denzel's "By a nose" comment to Nicole was absolutely perfect ❤ Great video again 🎉
What about Sean Connery announcing Titanic as the Best Picture? The way he does the double-take when looking at the envelope and his enthusiasm in announcing it!
I knew it would be the Katherine/Barbra tie. It's the most iconic. I wish Barbra had won on her own but who can argue with Katherine. Now you have to do the worst oscar announcements (looking at you Faye!)
Barbra should have lost by 1 vote, because she was given special consideration (by the BoD) to join the Academy - unlike everyone else who had to follow the rules. And we’d never had known it was by 1 vote, because the Academy doesn’t reveal those things.
Ariana DeBose announcing Ke Huy Quan’s win will probably always be my favorite. The genuine emotions barely letting her get his name out. She was all of us that night 😭
William Hurt announcing Marlee Matlin He read it and signed her name and was crying because they were an item at the time I thought that would have been #1 or at least mentioned when you talked about Troy Kotsur
The way Kevin Spacey said ‘Julia Roberts!’ for Erin Brockovich) Was lovely and you could tell he was happy for her. But I know, Spacey is ‘he who shall not be named’ these days.
They’re good friends and it stands she would be happy for him. I personally don’t see why other people have an issue with it. When Denzel presented Julia with the Golden Globe for Erin Brokovich, he said “my girl” before announcing her as the winner and then gave her a big hug and lifted her up. 🤷
Would also add Ariana de Bose tearing up while announcing Ke Huy Quan’s win; and Penelope Cruz shouting ‘Pedro’ when All About My Mother won Best Foreign Language Film. Such genuine, heartfelt emotions. Also when Streisand said ‘The time has come’ when awarding Bigelow for Best Director.
How could you not put Jordan Horowitz announcing "Moonlight" somewhere on this list? The way he handled the whole thing was total class. I would have put him as number 1.
Also the humility and graciousness of the La La Land cast to step aside, and give the Moonlight cast their moment, was also something I deeply appreciated🫶🏽🙏🏽
Love the randomness of the Oscar list videos. What's next Brian, Top 10 Oscar Presenter Banter of All Time? Will Ferrell or Ben Stiller has got to be in there
Youn Yuh-jung announcing Troy Kotsur added even more joy and happiness to that history making moment. What a classy and amazing human being she is! Love you, Youn! ❤❤❤❤❤
I have to favorite Oscar win announcements: Rock Hudson & Liza Minnelli announcing Shirley MacLaine and Walter Matthau & Jack Lemmon announcing the best screenplay ('Good Will Hunting'). But Sophia is awesome.
Kirk Douglas and Michael Douglas announcing Chicago as the best picture in 2003 Michael: You're suppose to say "And the Oscar goes to".... Kirk: And the winner is.... 😅 😅😅😅😅
There is a clip of Fay Bainter presenting Hattie McDaniel with her Oscar. Bainter said that she was happy to be the one to present it because it "opened the doors, moved back the walls, and enables us to embrace the whole of America." And don't forget about Barbra Streisand's whoop announcing "Lose Yourself" as Best Song or the silent "whoa!" from Jack Nicholson after announcing "Crash" as Best Picture.
I've always liked the reaction of Sophia Loren when Roberto won. I don't think or ever have thought her reaction is anything to do with the audience shouting his name out. I think she's really happy that a fellow Italian won and you can tell by the reaction from Roberto that he's over the moon to be receiving it from her being a legendary Italian actress. The mutual appreciation for 2 people from the same country shows when they hug on stage and watching Sophias face whilst he's saying his speech. I think it's a genuine excited moment between the 2 of them. Roberto was hilarious
I especially loved when Shirley MacClaine announced Jane Fonda as the winner for best actress at the 44th Academy Awards. The way she sounded happy and shocked.
My favorite is Sean Penn announcing Birdman as Best Picture. "Who gave this son of a B%&@# his Green Card?... BIRDMAN!!!" I remember it was controversial and some people read it as Xenophobic, but him and Inarritu were friends, they've worked together and there's nothing better to show how close you are to a friend than insulting him in world wide TV. Plus, as a mexican, I find that phrase more inspiring than taunting.
Jessica Lange said in an interview in 5/2024 that Kim Stanley and Geraldine Page are her two favorite actresses, that's why she says her name before announcing
One of the first ones that came to mind for me is Barbara Streisand saying, "Well the time has come...Kathryn Bigelow." That one sticks with me. I don't know if it's on the list, yet, but that was pretty iconic to me.
Honorable mention: When Ariana DeBose announced Ke Huy Quan for Best Supporting Actor. She was in tears 🥲
i was about to comment this!!!
Yeah, I'm shocked he didn't mention it. That was an emotional moment.
That was more about making the moment about her. Can't stand her
@@PDC-yb9qs100 percent accurate
BIG TIME
"My eyes see Oppenheimer" was robbed 💔😂
Yes
It brings me so much joy! 😂 🤣
that's my favorite one
@@ANXTREME that one screamed of “Oppenheimer won, I’m going to bed”
Wow, I thought he said “And may I see Oppenheimer?”
Spike Lee announcing "BONG JOON HO" lives rent free in my head
Spike Lee’s face: “Yet another minority wins before a black director.”
I think Spike Lee was happy that it wasn’t Quentin Tarrentino’s name on the envelope as he’s been very public about how much he dislikes Quentin and the abundance of times his movies uses the N-word. I think Spike wanted either Bong Jung-Ho or Martin Scorsese to win.
Barbara announcing Bigelow as Best Director was very special as well.
I always like the way Queen Latifah announced "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" won.
When Julianne Moore Announced Leonardo DiCaprio in 2015. That was a magical moment since the whole room knew it was long overdue and well deserved.
I would add Banderas and Cruz when they announced Almodovar's win.
You beat me to it. It was such a joyous moment.
Pedrooooooooooooo. Criminal it wasn't included on the list
I agree! that PEDROOOO is iconic.
I just looked at the comments to see if someone would mention this one. A classic.
I literally came to the comments for this ☝️☝️☝️
You forgot Barbara Streisan announcement of best director Kathryn Bigelow" Finally a women" that's history
I believe she said “Well the time has come.”
One more note about Samuel L. Jackson announcing Spike Lee's win - both Jackson and Lee attended Morehouse College (although not at the same time), and that "Tha HOUSE!" Jackson shouts at first is a salute to his fellow Morehouse alum.
Thank you I was just about to say this.
Shhhhh….. not “every”body needs to know
@@gaylefranklin I'm a white lady who never went to Morehouse, I looked it up on the internet because I was curious. "Everybody" may not need to know but the info's already out there, I'm afraid.
@@queencallipygos it’s on the internet??????? Was there anything about women and Morehouse ??
Parasite win announcements are the GOAT for me. Everyone was so excited for Parasite winning that night
The Announcement of Kate and Barbra as the wins is an all time moment for me
I remember watching "Barbra Streisand" in "Funny Girl" and was taken by her presence not just her voice but through it all I was crying - she gave an "OSCAR" Performance despite having Katherine Hepburn, "Lion in Winter" both movies were great However, the ACTING was Magnificent by both actresses.

The Oscar goes to La La Land...no wait.
That one will forever live rent-free in our heads especially with Beatty’s and Dunaway’s reactions as you could tell they knew it was wrong
👍🏽
KILLING it with the videos at the moment!

"Roberto!"
"Roberto!"
"ROBERTOOO!"
Classic Oscar moment right there.
notice the long "rrrr"
How cute was Goldie Hawn when she announced the George C. Scott win? :)
So adorable. The way she says “oh my god” after opening envelope 😂
Goldie is the epitome of cute. She's always been like an anime girl, before anime girls were mainstream.
One of my favorites....most recent, JAMIE LEE CURTIS! And Jamie Lee's reaction was unforgettable.
My fave moment is when Clint Eastwood is announcing Best Director in 1994. He opens the envelope and says “And the Oscar goes to- this is a big surprise. Steven Spielberg for Schindler’s List.”
He knew Spielberg was gonna win so it wasn’t a surprise really but it’s still funny to hear. lol
But it was predictable

I think that you might have misinterpreted Crowe's announcement.
It was not a "calm announcement," it was an announcement "through gritted teeth." He was disappointed (mad) that his friend Nicole Kidman didn't win.
I thought Penelope Cruz would be here with her "Pedroooo!"
I’m not a big John Wayne fan, but his moment at the 1979 Ceremony was really great.
Also, Coppola, Spielberg and Lucas giving it to Marty. Love it.
Great content, I always thought Anne Bancroft facial expression was 'what is he talking about'? 😆
Every Father's Day, I bought my father a tie only so I could say when he opened it, "It's a tie!"
I personally loved Ariana DeBose's emotional reaction to Ke Huy Quan winning for EEAAO!
Good video! I enjoyed watching it. I'm subscribing!
Another favorite, when Spielberg announced Best Director in 1995, he opened the envelope and said, “Alex, your father just won the Academy Award. Robert Zemeckis for Forrest Gump!”
That was such a sweet moment. :3
That was dreadful. Completely inappropriate.
I’m not sure what happened between Julia and Russel.
But I think her “ I love my life “ was because her friendly relationship with Denzel since they worked together. She even more exited when saluted him at AFI.
Imagine handing an award to a mate like Denzel.
I loved Denzel announcing Whoopi for Ghost!!!
Not a fan of Abraham’s announcement; I found it to be rather insulting to the other nominees.
9:22 - When you realise you've left the oven on.
Hi brian.. if you have a time can you make a video about La La Land vs Moonlight for best picture.. it would be great if you make it..
The announcement when Pedro almodovar won for all about my mother was iconic
What about Babs saying "well the time has come".
One of my favorites is Marion Cotillard announcing Kate Winslet. It was so precious. There's also Meryl Streep announcing Daniel Day-Lewis. You don't even watch her opening anything, because she somehow did it during the clips I guess. She just announces it like it's the most obvious thing ever to happen. Iconic.
Julia Roberts announcing Denzel
My favorite is Queen Latifah announcing that Three 6 Mafia won "Best Original Song" at the 78th ceremony since she began her career as a rapper and was genuinely surprised, but happy for them
I liked seeing Queen Latifia announce Three Six Mafia's win. She was clearly taken aback.
It was so adorable when Rita Moreno laughed exuberantly before she read “A Fantastic Woman “ as the Best International Feature in 2018.
Bro, what do you have against Ke Huy Quan? No placement of him in the best acceptance speech list or this list
Penelope cruz and Antonio Banderas announcing all about my mother winning best foreing language film. Look it up
George C, Scott in Patton. How could there be any doubt? One of the all time greatest performances ever. If you don't believe it, watch this great movie
Cate Blanchett announcing best makeup in the 2011 ceremony commenting on one of the nominee's clips "That's gross!!!"

Shout out to Ariana DeBose crying announcing Ke Huy Kwan, and Liz Taylor’s “GLADIATOR”
How about Audrey Hepburn nearly taking flight when she announced Best Picture was One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?
So many amazing clips but that is the perfect #1 choice. Ingrid Bergman's best moment on the Oscars stage easily. And Denzel's "By a nose" comment to Nicole was absolutely perfect ❤ Great video again 🎉
@brian how about top 10 hosts?
Julia Roberts loves HERSELF!!!
What about Sean Connery announcing Titanic as the Best Picture? The way he does the double-take when looking at the envelope and his enthusiasm in announcing it!

@@ImVee10 wasn’t her doing. Gregory Peck who was the head of academy invited her to join.
@@robfuzz I’m well aware. I’ve never understood the urgency of her membership. (Or her nasal singing voice and 7th-grade vibrato.)
Denzel: “By a nose” was in deference to Kidman’s prosthetic nose - he’d no idea of the vote tallies.
Nicholson made his own crack at her prosthetic nose at the Globes that year too. So it’s not surprising that Denzel would too
Penelope Cruz should be here when she announced the winner of International Feature screaming: "PEDROOOO"
Another good one is Sally Kellerman & Richard Harris announcing Ben Johnson as Best Supporting Actor in 1972
Ariana DeBose announcing Ke Huy Quan’s win will probably always be my favorite. The genuine emotions barely letting her get his name out. She was all of us that night 😭
I liked when Mark Walburg announced Skyfall and Zero Dark Thirty tied.
Honourable mention to Babs for her announcement of the winner for best original song when Eminem won for “Lose Yourself”, from 8 Mile.
William Hurt announcing Marlee Matlin
He read it and signed her name and was crying because they were an item at the time
I thought that would have been #1 or at least mentioned when you talked about Troy Kotsur
The way Kevin Spacey said ‘Julia Roberts!’ for Erin Brockovich)
Was lovely and you could tell he was happy for her.
But I know, Spacey is ‘he who shall not be named’ these days.
jane fonda announcing parasite always gave me a chill
Thanks for not adding the stupid scream of Cruz that was just the bad copy (with 0 spontaneity) of Loren the year before!
10 is a head scratcher. It was always gonna be Hanks. Nothing super special about the delivery.
Dolly Parton announcing Robert Duvall's name for best actor in Tender Mercies was also a highlight for me 🙂
Dolly is such a darling
How about a video on best and worst Oscar sets. The set at the beginning looks pretty cool.
I would LOVE to see a lot more ties!!!
How about Sylvester Stallone saying "Marvelous Meryl Streep" for Sophie's Choice in early 1983? 😮
Walking on the chairs over people was sooo awful. Hated it.
It was absolutely embarrassing
Yeah.
I thought that it was VERY annoying.
I know some people don't like Julia's announcement win for Denzel Washington, but it's one of my favorites.
They’re good friends and it stands she would be happy for him. I personally don’t see why other people have an issue with it.
When Denzel presented Julia with the Golden Globe for Erin Brokovich, he said “my girl” before announcing her as the winner and then gave her a big hug and lifted her up. 🤷
yess i love nicolas cage's announcements lol
Penélope Cruz for All About My Mother it's a good one too
This is missing Penélope screaming PEDROOOOOOOOO in 2000 a very proud moment
Denzel didn't know how close it was or even if it was close!
The Troy Kostur announcement made me cry even watching it right now.
You should have had the 2017 best picture mix up on here. Warren Beity's reaction is classic!
100 ❤percent I don’t know how I forgot about this or the Chino day, but this is probably the most priceless
Would also add Ariana de Bose tearing up while announcing Ke Huy Quan’s win; and Penelope Cruz shouting ‘Pedro’ when All About My Mother won Best Foreign Language Film. Such genuine, heartfelt emotions. Also when Streisand said ‘The time has come’ when awarding Bigelow for Best Director.
How could you not put Jordan Horowitz announcing "Moonlight" somewhere on this list? The way he handled the whole thing was total class. I would have put him as number 1.
Also the humility and graciousness of the La La Land cast to step aside, and give the Moonlight cast their moment, was also something I deeply appreciated🫶🏽🙏🏽
Love the randomness of the Oscar list videos. What's next Brian, Top 10 Oscar Presenter Banter of All Time? Will Ferrell or Ben Stiller has got to be in there
He was thinking about a top 10 banter “jokes” but could t find more than three to celebrate.
Youn Yuh-jung announcing Troy Kotsur added even more joy and happiness to that history making moment. What a classy and amazing human being she is! Love you, Youn! ❤❤❤❤❤
I remember loving Goldie Hawn’s dress that year!
I have to favorite Oscar win announcements: Rock Hudson & Liza Minnelli announcing Shirley MacLaine and Walter Matthau & Jack Lemmon announcing the best screenplay ('Good Will Hunting'). But Sophia is awesome.
Kirk Douglas and Michael Douglas announcing Chicago as the best picture in 2003
Michael: You're suppose to say "And the Oscar goes to"....
Kirk: And the winner is....
😅 😅😅😅😅
Sophia Loren is everything ❤❤❤
I agree with your number 1! I wasn't born yet to witness that happen live, but hope it happens again one day so I can with the Best Actress Catagory.
Using the sign language was a classy move. LEARNING it was amazing.
AND MY EYES DO NOT SEE AL PACINO. Or Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.
There is a clip of Fay Bainter presenting Hattie McDaniel with her Oscar. Bainter said that she was happy to be the one to present it because it "opened the doors, moved back the walls, and enables us to embrace the whole of America."
And don't forget about Barbra Streisand's whoop announcing "Lose Yourself" as Best Song or the silent "whoa!" from Jack Nicholson after announcing "Crash" as Best Picture.
I love Whoopi being so excited for Geraldine.
Also Goldie wins best dressed in this video.
Yushung Yu, (sp?), man that moment should be number one. What a kind and sincere moment.
Denzel Washington should have won for Malcolm X.
I've always liked the reaction of Sophia Loren when Roberto won. I don't think or ever have thought her reaction is anything to do with the audience shouting his name out.
