Humphrey Bogart died five years later in 1957, and this was his only Oscar. He should have won more. Bogart is one of the all-time greats.
Like 3 at least 😡
In many polls of greatest movie stars it's usually Bogie or Gable at
# 1
He probably new his diagnosis and was fabulous, short, humble and full of character so interesting.
The thirties and forties were a period when there so many great actors. Tracy, Cooper, Stewart, Gable, Fonda, Grant, Tyrone Power, Ronald Colman, etc and etc. It's a shame that only one can win in each year. Look how long it took for Henry Fonda to be recognized by the Academy.
Unreal. he should have so many
Lauren Bacall said in an interview about this night, that it was so amazing and "intimate" because it wasn't televised. She said the audience roared and cheered when he won as they all really liked each other. It's a great interview.
I so admire him!!
She was in bed with Sinatra...lol
Why not televised? There was tv in USA back then. Atleast it was filmed and shown in the cinemas 100%
@@bambi274 At the time, in the USA, it was the cold war between film studios and TV broadcasters. They put aside their differences in 1953 for their mutual profit $$$.
@@fenrislegacy oh ok. Thank u
How beautiful it was.. A golden era, when Hollywood and it's performers had class, grace, humility, and actual talent with no smut needed.
there are still talented actors with class in hollywood
Yes but very few.
Now that's how a man should accept an award.
The old gangster finally got the Oscar he should've won 10 years earlier(Casablanca). Rest well, Mr. Bogart.
He should have got for In a Lonely Place.
totally agree with that. there aren't many who can beat Bogart. But, as usual, the academy awards make strange choices…..
Casablanca wasn't particularly great acting, just a star-power movie.
@@steveconn say what you will, but when a movie made nearly 80 years ago is still considered by many to be the greatest romance film ever made, star power or not, it is Bogie's signature piece.
@@steveconn He didn t win the Academy Award for Casablanca. He won it for The African Queen.
Just notice that big round of applause and screams of joy when Bogie's name is announced as a winner. Maybe a relief from the crowd that finally that deserving brilliant actor has been honoured.
WE ALL LOVE YOU BOGIE...RIP.
Humphrey Bogart was so classy. Whst a modest man and a wonderful actor.
Bogart was so natural I can't praise him enough
Damn Brando's performance in Streetcar and Clift's in A Place in the Sun are legendary. Crazy how loaded these categories were in the Golden Age of film
Exactly what I was thinking. Frederic March in Death of a Salesman was no slouch either.
Yeah. Damn.
African Queen is legendary also .
@@rberka555 March already had 2 so I think it was really between Brando and Bogie!
Totally agree A lot of politics involved as in today
Old is gold. Humphrey Bogart is a great actor.
Bogart was a great actor, but John Wayne was terrible. Not every old times actors are good.
@@ImNotADeeJay wrong , dork
@@ImNotADeeJay calm down the Duke was horrible!!!!!? Are you serious about the Duke playing in the best westerns and won an OSCAR and he is one of the best actors of all time chill dude chill think about it!!!
Unbelievable that he died only 5 years after winning the Oscar for *the African Queen* !
@@jordanabeaulieu2530 who killed him ?
These days they thank about 100 people. Agents, hair stylists, cofee runners, anyone who smiled at them. Bogey took 30 seconds. Legend.
Yeah, Bogey was huge back then IMO one of the best actors ever if maybe the best I love all of his movies and AQ of course what a dude he was RIP! 🤔
Because these days theyre not actors, and Oscars are not Oscars...all a scam...no art. Movies are made in Hollywood to sell in Asia where population is 4 BILLION, and thanks to 1% greedy manufacturers, those have the cash to buy tickets and ways to watch movies, no longer fit to be called ART OF THE CINEMA.
@Tropic Lightning Someone send this video to Joaquin Phoenix, and show him how a real man accepts an award. With humilty and dignity. And keeping things fuckn relevant!!!
@Tropic Lightning oh God how dare celebrities use their platforms to bring awareness to issues they care about. The HORROR of it all lmao.
@Tropic Lightning what's wrong with people pointing out causes they support? Winning an oscar is one of the greatest thing a film artists can win, it's one in a million chance in an already one in a million career field.
There's no prize enough to reward such a legend.
A man of few words. We miss you, Mr Bogart. We'll always play that song again just for you.
Humphrey Bogart could play any character well, but ultimately, we were in love with his persona, on screen and off. A true genius. RIP Mr. Bogart
Greer was so ecstatic! The audience was very happy. Later even Hepburn was happy he won. 20 years and it was all worth it.
Humphrey Bogart was the best actor of all of them. No scandals no notoriety of any kind. Just a great actor ,great husband and father.
Alex Smuckler no scandals? Battling Bogarts were TOTALLY a scandal
I love Bogie but the best actor ever ? Eh, not quite. Spencer Tracy ran circles around him.
Brando was and is the greatest actor who has ever lived
That was his first wife. His marriage with Lauren Bacall was very loving and harmonious.
Alex Smuckler based on what I’ve seen I’d say Clancy Brown is a better actor than Humphrey Bogart, mainly because I’ve seen he can be more engaging in more roles
Wow, just listen to the strength of the competition that year.
+Michael Conrad I know, right? Clift probably would have gotten my vote for A Place in the Sun, but you can't really object to Bogart or to Brando either if it had gone that way. I wish to hell somebody would dig up Fredric March's version of Willie Loman. It's never shown anywhere. I'd really like to see it before I die but it seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
All good movies, I have them all. Must really have been hard for the judges to decide.
Fredric March's Death Of A Salesman is on youtube!
I love Bogie but no way in hell was he better than Monty Clift in A Place in The Sun.
He was one of the greatest actors of his generation. I continue to watch his movies over and over to this day. Here's looking at you Bogie!
Humphrey Bogart was the greatest actor of the 20th Century. My favourite movie of his is The Big Sleep. His role as Rick in Casablanca is what he is best known for. It was a bit late for him to finally get an oscar. He was 1 of a kind. All the best Bogey you'll always have a place in our memories.
In my opinion The Big Sleep is still a bit underestimated. Maybe because of confused plot
I liked The Treasure Serra Madra ,
The Caine Mutiny and African Queen
But my favorite actor is
Gary Cooper
Second is Kurt Russell
But I like just about everyone back then in the past
William Holden
Gregory Peck
John Wayne
Just to mention a few
I should probably make a list of who I didn't like , it would be much shorter
Have you noticed how the actors from the earlier years all had a certain something or distinctive feature that sets them apart from everybody else. Like Humphrey Bogart, Bette Davis, James Cagney, John Wayne or Cary Grant and there are others as well. Most of today actors don't stand out from other actors as they don't have a certain thing that makes you remember them or the movies they were in.
@@thorragnorok4281 You are right, todays actors have not the star quality as they did from the beginning of Hollywood to the 1950:s.
@@jimthomas1989John Wayne, best cowboy.
What a beautiful gown Ms. Garson wore: the epitome of taste and class. She was always a favorite actress of mine. And Bogart, how much more humble could he be?
Ms. Garson has a sense of humour just as exquisite as her sense of style. I cannot help but crack everytime I hear her go "Its hardly the time to be wordy..."
EmpressOfWyoming58 I don't know, its kinda eh to me. Looks like a prom dress.
EmpressOfWyoming58. When it was worth wacthin
Yup, Greer was one classy human being. All she did for the College of Santa Fe really helped that institution get off the ground.
Who cares Bogart won!
Bogart should have got awarded with more Oscars than only this one. He was a master of acting. There will never be any like him anymore.
Truth Indeed
Now that many Oscar winners' remarks have been posted here on UA-cam, I'm amazed at how brief most were for decades. It's only in our self-indulgent times that winners have brought out laundry lists of people to thank.
What a beautiful man! Look in those days, he gracefully and wholeheartedly thanks Hepburn & Houston without a shred of air around of him (with him being such a huge star back then). Bogie, you would be remembered as a wonderful human being way more than as an actor (and that's after calling him one of the finest in the business, mind you)
RIP Humphrey Bogart (December 25, 1899 - January 14, 1957), aged 57
You will be remembered as a legend.
What a swell person , Bogey was : he thanked his director and co-star for helping him win , and didn't bore the audience with a long speech .
Bingo!!
What an astonishing line up of actors as nominees - Streetcar Named Desire and Death of a Salesman remaining two of the greatest plays in the English language. A Place in the Sun still holds such prestige. That is an incredible group of performers - Arthur Kennedy not being as famous as the others but being such a respected stage actor and the original Biff Lohman in Death of a Salesman on stage and the very first John Proctor in The Crucible. Bogart, Marsh, Brando, Kennedy and Clift. Extraordinary.
I can't think of anyone...anyone who was cooler than Bogart. For some reason, watching this old film footage makes me very nostalgic for a better time. It all looks so glamorous.
Yeah the "glamorous" 1950s with its rampant sexual assault behind closed doors and not to mention the extreme racial inequality in the country. So glamorous. Hollywood was just as sleazy then as it is today.
The casting couch ......
You didn't hear much about mass shootings in those days.
@@iangoodman2228 One can miss the good things without also wanting the bad. And there were many, many good things we have lost from that era which it is certainly appropriate to wish we had back today. Despite what you say, there absolutely was a level of class and sophistication that no longer exists in an era when one doesn't have to do anything to be famous except make a sex tape. Noticing what we have lost from those times and wishing we had it back does not at all imply we must yearn for the package in its entirety, as any rational person understands.
There isn't anyone cooler than Bogus. More cool, the man loved his wife profoundly.
I was always so enamored of Clark Gable, that I didn't pay much attention to Bogey. Lately however, I've been watching some of Bogeys old films. I'm amazed at what a fine actor he really was. It's never too late to express appreciation. That Oscar was well deserved.
Humphrey Bogart was brilliant
We missed you Bogie............wish you were with us today
Ardeshir Aria a
He'd be almost 120
Just look at the nominees! My goodness! Their performances in those movies were among the best of all times! What a year to win it!
Cagney and Bogart - two very different people with different styles, but arguably the two best American screen actors ever.
James Cagney had a similar situation where his only Oscar win was for the musical Yankee Doodle Dandy. Yet it was cool to see them both win for roles that would show they were capable of playing a different kind of character. For Bogart he became a Cockney cargo boat captain in WWI who at turns was drunk, cowardly, brave, resourceful, tender, and funny. Cagney would play real life entertainer and composer George M. Cohan and actually sang and danced, skills that were probably a surprise to moviegoers at the time. A favorite clip for many today is seeing Cagney tap dance his way down a large flight of stairs as an older Cohan.
Oh Yes! TRUTH INDEED AMEN 🙏 SIP to both Amaaz8ng,Great Actors
I like how he just lets his arm drop with no appreciation nor regard for the statue. It was obvious that he didn't care for receiving it nor giving an acceptance speech. I read that he didn't care much for all the hoopla and awards. I also read that he used the statue for a door stop. He truly was an awesome actor and human being. R.I.P. Humphrey, we miss you.
+bottlebrusher We Taureans are down to earth :)
hi bottle brusher-please don't be too hard on the late Legend....reminder----the throat cancer that would take his life was perhaps starting to manifest then ....maybe that is why he had trouble holding that Oscar up...how much do those things weigh, anyway???....Cancer slowly robs one of strength, it is known,and as I view this classic,extremely rare footage of this LEGEND,I can see the difference in his face,the slightly sunken cheeks,the thinning hair on top..signs of early cancer,his walk as well. Smoking those unfiltered cigarettes(and you know he inhaled-just watch his films,like inhaling a mini-cigar(YUCK!!),combined with drinking the hard booze(PUKEY) ---ANY tobacco use combined with any alcohol consumption---Does create cancer cells within the body ( got that from a hospital brochure).....He passed away from throat cancer in 1956...so..give the guy a break, please....He was just born in the wrong era...if He could have only known ,if they all could have known then what we know now about the connection between tobacco and alcohol(either one by themselves will kill you,but when combined,you'll die faster ,and with more Pain),maybe some of these folks could have lived longer,...knowledge IS power,people....Rest In Peace,Mr. Bogart dear Sir...Gone(for now) but Never Forgotten;as well as all the others Rest In Peace, all.... Mrs Bogart , Miss Garson, Mr. Kaye,all of them....Ye shall all awaken one Sweet Day...until then.......peace...(§) :>)
I fell in love with his work while in college. I took a class in "Topics in Film" study and my professor played a lot of Humphrey Bogart movies. After the semester ended, I happily ordered most of his movies via Amazon.com.
He is missed by many. 💞
while he wasnt a big fan of going out ..cause he spent every minute he could on his boat...bogart CERTAINLY DID want to win that award and cared very much
Greer Garson !!! Beautiful Woman
He is the one of the best, most victorius, most affective, happiest, most handsome players in the old times. RIP Mr. Rick. Wonderful actor.
Yes, but the Academy had to make amends for the mistake they had made when they didn't give Bogie the award for Casablanca in 1943.
Greer Garson was so elegant and beautiful.
Wow. Wonderful to hear Bogie speak as "himself". And what a roster of nominees - old Hollywood versus new - Brando and Clift both on the list. What a year that was for great work. If they had only known how Brando and Clift's 'method' approach would sweep everything else away in the coming years. A fascinating piece of archive.
I loved Mr Bogart but have to admit Marlon Brando was absolutely GREAT in
You know you're a great actor when you win over Brando in a Kazan Picture!
Old school class and humble. Bless
What a line up of significant actors for the Oscar. Brando, Clift, Bogart, March and Kennedy. And the movies they were in? Some of the greatest of all time.
A long past due award to one of Hollywood's iconic performers.
Thank you for uploading this! First time I got to see Bogie's acceptance speech. I agree: how classy the academy awards were back then.
All of those actors deserved the oscar.
The wonderful Greer Garson, with her easy charm, radiant smile and impeccable speaking voice does a wonderful job in presenting the Oscar to Bogart.
LWN, get ahold of yourself-this is BOGART we're talking about. Icon of icons. His name STILL hits the top 10 in Most Popular Actor polls. He's irreplaceable, indelible and impossible to duplicate. He's also timeless. You cannot compare High Sierra to Sabrina or Key Largo to Capt Quigg of Caine Mutiny. Totally different dynamics of character. He was brilliant.
Hear that crowd roar. It's nice to see Humphrey overwhelmed with happiness.
My God ! That is an incredible list of brilliant performers....any one would have been worthy of the Oscar.
What 5 terrific actors were nominated. Nothing like them these days.
Such a gifted actor - we need more like that......
Bogart was class! How i wished he lived a long life because im sure we would have more classic movies and Oscars for him.
It was never too late for any Hollywood actor.Ronald Colman got his Oscar for "A Double Life" in 1948 and John Wayne for "True Grit" in 1970.Colman was 57 when he received the Oscar and Wayne was 65.
Humprey Bogart(1899-1957)first gained fame in a gangster role in the "Petrified Forest" just because of his good friend the English actor Leslie Howard(1893-1943).So much that he named one of her twin daughters Leslie.
Some think this was a "make-up Oscar" for Bogey and that he was better in other roles. Maybe true...but the more you watch African Queen the more you appreciate this unconventional "love story" of two people revealing their power, pride, flaws, and failings and their ultimate covenant to each other. Bogey is just brilliant in holding it on course, keeping it true, and not sliding into sentimentality. Such a well deserved award.
Bogart's finest performance was in Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
He was a legend, Casa my fav move " Yeah! they wore grey u wore blue" well look it up. or watch the movie
"Not an easy day to forget. I remember every detail. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue." I definitely would've worn blue to that Academy Awards ceremony.
Loved Casablanca, still watch when it comes on.. 2021. Here's looking at you 👶babe
I wish I could bring back classic Hollywood- when the actors were amazing and the award speeches were short and sweet.
Such class, such brevity: Memo to Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep: This is how it's done. Watch and learn.
You are too kind. I'll never forget watching The African Queen for the first time as a kid with my parents and my dad explaining that life lesson to me as we watched that scene in particular. Brando could scream, "Hey, Stella!" all he wanted. It just isn't remotely as profound or endearing as Bogie's subtle expression.
Interesting that the '52 Oscar show was filmed in color, for it seems like yesterday instead of many years in the past. I believe the first Oscar show to be televised was in 1953 or '54, if I'm not mistaken, probably hosted by the best MC of the Academy Awards...Bob Hope.
Celluloidwatcher it was probably a cinema newsreel, the quality is great.
The entire 1952 Oscar ceremony was not filmed in color, or for that matter, neither in its entirety in b&w.
Just particular segments featuring the major awards, such as Bogart's in this color clip, which is an example of that era's color or black & white newsreels summarizing world events, with an off camera narrator describing the particular occasion, and which were shown nationwide on a weekly or semi-weekly basis in movie theatres before the " main feature ".
Up until 1953, the Oscar ceremony was broadcast on coast to coast radio. " The 25th Academy Awards ceremony was held on March 19, 1953. It took place at the RKO Pantages Theatre in Hollywood, and the NBC International Theatre in New York City. It was the first Academy Awards ceremony to be televised, and the first ceremony to be held in Hollywood and New York City simultaneously. "
His humbleness should be an example for today's actor, whose inflated egos and ignorance make them believe they can lecture us when they get an award.
Dear Lord, please give us back actors such as John Wayne, Charlton Heston, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Gloria Swanson, Katherine Hepburn, Maureen O'Hara and Directors like John Ford.
Not possible. Times have changed. Welcome to shitbag 21st century.
Nope, if America keep up with they way it is then them ol' days shall be as ONLY A DREAM.
*We must get back to our roots*
John wayne: a racist. Charlton Heston: a bad actor and a gun-totin' republican. Humphrey Bogart: a chain smoking adulterer. Katherine Hepburn: a closet lesbian.

The mindless and the dumb.
@AGZ all but one film made $100,000,000 this year (2020) that were nominated for Best Picture so math disproves the original poster's comment
2019 was amazing year for movies. Once upon a time in hollywood, 1917, parasite, marriage story, joker, the irishman. Older movies are equally as good as the newer ones
Greer Garson; HER GOWN WAS AMAZING....before my time....they were glamourous then too!!!
When all the nominees were worthy. All the films were worthy. Not like today’s crap.
Oh come on! I understand your point. But, this year, we had amazing films like The Father or Promising Young Woman. Don't understimate the recent gems
Congratulations to my most favorite actor. My his soul rest in peace and comfort.Always remembered never forgotten 💔😢
Bogart was so natural I can't praise him enough
Bogart was good in the movie!! But Brando and Clift delivered stellar performances that are now considered all time classics. What a year!
jesus listen to those nominations, a who's who of movies and actors.
Not exactly a crappy year for serious cinema.
indeed!
Humprey Bogart had to thank"Gone With the Wind" star Leslie Howard for his break through in Hollywood stardom.It was Leslie who stood for Bogart as the gangster image role in "Petrified Forest" where others were against the latter for the part.Bogart later named one of her daughters as "Leslie" as a gratitude for his old friend Leslie Howard.
Yep, Mr. Howard refused the movie role til they accepted Bogart for the role in the movie though he (Bogart) had played the role in the live play. Now that is a true friend.
Great, great, actor ...Humphrey ...quite an impression on humanity ...memorable 🎭
So gracious to his director and his co-star.
Good to see this in colour film and not in kinescope.
They must have been filming this while it was also being televised live.
I love how they talked back in the day...American english sounds like crap today.
I could "RAP" about that all day!
He was a well educated.
Actors back then were trained in what was called mid Atlantic English, so a wider audience could understand them.
I am a non native speaker, and it is way easier to me to understand those mid century speeches than current ones. I can watch a classic movie without captions easily, but modern movies, without the aid of captions I'd miss 2/3 of what they say.
@Unkraut60 you mean southern accent? Ebonics is mainly based on southern accent
Bogart will always be my favorite. I wish I had lived in that era. To see Casablanca in a movie theatre ... I can't take my eyes off him. He left us at age 57, in 1957. We wanted more. We still do. Bogart Estate on Twitter is run by his son Stephen. He seems very classy also. I think this award was for his body of work. All these years later, we still love you. Rest in peace, Bogie.
I love to watch Bogie classic dance move with Ingrid Bergman in the movie "Casablanca". George Raft declined the offer to play in that film.
@@nicoletanis3703 Bogart was so natural I can't praise him enough.
Glad I have TCM, so I can watch all these timeless classics.
30 second speech and he was off. Pure class.
And one of the few actors you'd like to hear More from!
Greer Garson was an absolute doll. My grandfather sold shoes to her a million years ago and said she was adorable.
Listen to that reaction, you can really feel how beloved he was by the people that knew him
Even in death always the epitome of class and stardom. He was literally raised this way from high society. That poise. That grace. Only Bogart.
The ultimate man's man
How can someone with such a body of work only recieve one oscar?
Brando- steetcar is the performance that changed acting and easily the most iconic and enduring of the 3 performances.
There was one actor who bears a remarkable resemblance to Humprey Bogart.But this was the real Bogart who finally won his Oscar for the "African Queen" in 1952 at the age of 52.
Like Gary Cooper who won his for "High Noon",Bogart and his co star Katharine Hepburn had to endure hardships and difficulties filming in the Belgian Congo.It was a swampy area hot and humid and poor Bogart and Hepburn had to bear with with it.Imagine present day Hollywood actors and actresses doing such scenes.No way!
Can you imagine Bogart winning the Oscar over Marlon Brando in a landmark performance as Stanley in A Streetcar Named Desire and over Montgomery Clift in A Place In The Sun? I aalso believe that Bogie's work in Casablanca and Treasure Of The Sierra Madre was superior to his performance as Charlie Allnut in African Queen, but this award was an acknowledgement of his entire career.
The Caine Mutiny too was great. Awesome actor.

He should have won again for THE CAINE MUTINY
Bogart reminds us that American cinema had substance and class unlike today's superficial attitude and p.c. rhetoric.
Robert Collings people were always superficial.
My goodness what charm, style, elocution, breeding and beauty did Greer Garson possess? On par with Grace Kelly. No one today comes close.
I agree again. There was nobody cooler than Bogart in MALTESE FALCON (except for maybe Bogie in CASABLANCA). And as you pointed out, we can thank John Huston for giving him that role.
What a list of great movies and nominees...Brando was great as we all know but Clift was so underrated...he played complex characters with such nuance and style.
What can one say about Bogey other than his best role was his last i believe...The Harder They Fall.
Absolutely agree. Bogey's performance in Treasure of the Sierra Madre give was so outstanding and brilliant that it gives me goosebumps every time I think about it. So was The Big Sleep, Maltese Falcon and Casablanca.
I always thought that year should have been Marlon Brando's for A Streetcar Named Desire... just as I would've loved to see Bogart win for Casablanca. But well, it all worked out and they all got their recognition eventually!
Bogie loved animals and was an acccomplished actor. Plus he has humor. For all those reasons, I worship him and feel terribly sad when I think of the way he died. Rest in peace my beloved Bogart.
Bogie did not 'choose' his way of death. People were unaware then that cigarettes were responsible for all sorts of illnesses. Anyhow if he enjoyed smoking, good for him, but he did not deserve such a cruel death.
Bogart was so natural I can't praise him enough.
As an Egyptian, I recently watched Mr. Bogart in Sabrina, and on my way to watch Casablanca, and believe me, he gave me a very amazing impression with his unique voice, his looks, and his way of walking, and when he has a scene with the heroine, he can make you pay attention to what is happening in terms of events. He is really creative.
Sad he died and he was a kafir
The Academy Awards were held in those days at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood. It was a movie theater and had a large seating capacity and if I recall, a balcony as well. I believe it is still there on Hollywood Blvd. It’s so great that this wonderful moment was captured on color film. This great actor was destined to die just a very few years later in January of 1957 from esophageal cancer at only 57 years old. Listen to the audience’s roar of approval when his name is announced. He faced some very stiff competition and the crowd was obviously pleased he had won.
What bothers me, personally, is that emotional truth is easier to find when playing a character similar to your real-life personality. Brando was a reckless rebel who was expelled from high school for driving a motorcycle down a hallway. His being so convincing as a feisty rebel in 'Streetcar comes as no surprise to me. Now, for instance, a heavy drinker like Bogie convincingly playing a drinker who can fall for the woman who throws his booze overboard? That's impressive to me.
Happy to see Bogart win one. He was a gem of an actor IMO.
Bogart gave many memorable performances but playing Charlie Allnut in African Queen was one of his best. I love that movie. This Best Actor Oscar was so well deserved by this screen icon.
Agree with you. What a character Charlie was. Made for him.
One of the greatest movie stars ever, second to noone, wish he would of lived much longer as well as Marilyn Monroe, so they can see how lauded they were and be given the non stop ovation they so richly deserve
Bogrt and Brando-the two towers of Hollywood. Brando was sheer force whereas Bogart was sheer Charisma.....
