![What's My Line? - Geraldine Page; Tony Randall [panel] (Jun 16, 1963)](/img/n.gif)
One of the most well deserved best actress winners ever. I can't watch Trip To Bountiful without sobbing my eyes out she was so real in that and all of her roles. Will never see another Geraldine Page. I'm glad she finally received the recognition she deserved even if it was almost at the end of her life. Better late then never.
Absolutely!
The Hollywood press said the she did not earn that Oscar. I say BS. That was a very well done and earned Oscar. Nobody could have done better then her. What a gem. Where's my hanky.
I love how Jessica Lange mouths, "Geraldine Page" when he proclaims the winner to be the best actress in the English language.
Josh Temples Oh wow, you’re right. Is it me, or did Anne Bancroft look annoyed by Abraham? Seems like she said “oh come on, get to it”.
Fun fact :Jessica Lange portrayed Joan Crawford who accepted Anne Bancroft's Oscar, with who she was nominated that night
@@FruityGangster I noticed that, too! She needed the winner’s name, dammit!
Lol i just realised
Me too!!
RIP Geraldine Page (November 22, 1924 - June 13, 1987), aged 62
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Despite all the debates about who should have won, this was an incredible, legendary group of actresses. You could not have asked for a more stacked group of nominees in terms of skill and talent in film acting. It's clear they had a real respect for one another as well as they were utterly happy for Ms. Page.
One of the greatest performances I have ever seen by an actress on film. There was no one else like her.
F. Murray Abraham was so excited when he read the envelope that couldn't say the name immediately. His words were so wise and wonderful that everybody was glad he didn't follow the protocol.
Anne Bancroft was not impressed with his phrase.
I love that ovation. She was obviously thrilled by it. A great testament to a great actress.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is an actress.
A brilliant and legendary actress. One of greatest in all times.
Sad she passed only a year later, she was a wonderful stage actress :) Page deserved this great moment in her career
So glad she got this award before she died the next year. What a sweet, talented individual. Just listen to that applause.
Wonder if she was ill here.
OVATION
@@m.e.d.7997 Yes, she had stage 5 kidney disease.
Is this the longest standing ovation at the Oscars...it may be
She thanked her entire cast and her director and writer
Such a classy lady
2:08 Geraldine Page and John Huston in the same row. What an incredible repository of art right there.
One of the most touching and heartfelt announcements of a major Oscar in history...
After many nominations without winning, she finally won an Oscar and she died the next year in 1987, it's so sad
Daniel Day Lewis in My Left Foot and Geraldine Page in Trip to Bountiful are the two most perfect performances I've ever seen.
And Marion Cotillard in La vie en rose
Charlize Theron 'Monster'
sofia coppola godfather 3
@@patriciaortegarojas9789 You are joking right? That's one of the most undeserving Oscar wins ever. Harvey's campaigning skills won her the Oscar and nothing else. Cate Blanchett or Fernanda Montenegro should have won it. But Academy is racist, never give away the award to a Latina star. Blanchett was way superior if we don't consider Fernanda Montenegro.
I would list down some deserving -
Cate Blanchett in Blue Jasmine
Meryl Streep in Sophie's Choice
Vivien Leigh in Gone with the Wind
I wish every actor/actress could present the Oscar like this. F. Murray Abraham kept this presentation INTERESTING!
One of the greatest moments in Oscar history!! I'm hoping to see this happen to Glenn Close soon, after several nominations finally winning the Oscar! Academy pls make it happen!!
A classic moment in oscars rich history. Geraldine Page was one of our very best actresses.
Wow (!) what a great actress and it was certainly high-time she was awarded with a well deserved Oscar! This was Miss Page's eighth Oscar nomination (going back more than thirty years) and she wasn't expecting to win this particular time either - though she was always a gracious runner-up and never complained. The delay in getting up to the podium was due to the fact that Geraldine had to put her shoes back on (her feet were bothering her) - so comfortable with the idea that she wouldn't be called to the stage.
Ben Mankiewicz of TCM mentioned that she had to put her shoes back on on Mother's Day when TCM showed this wonderful film. She did not think she would win.
誰が勝ってもおかしくなかった。投票者泣かせの年，どの演技が1番なんて決められない
If only Peter O'toole had gotten his 'acting Oscar' after 8 nominations too! RIP to both Geraldine Page and Peter O'Toole
Will they give an Oscar to Glenn Close? Maybe.
Not to mention Richard Burton and Thelma Ritter.
@@nachobuttmug8970 Hopefully 🤞 it's time.
Wonderful. I wish we could have had another 10 years of Geraldine. She was such a gift to us!
No less than 20 or 30
Geraldine Page was such a great actor. If you want to see her in another great performance, watch her in Interiors by Woody Allen. She was magnificent in that role.
allen has said that of all the actors he's ever worked with, he's only been amazed by two: max von sydow & geraldine page...
He also mentioned that he thought Gene Hackman and Gena Rowlands together were "electrifying" in Another Woman.
I have that movie. Also, Diane Keaton played in it.
She sure was!
it's so riveting and yet disturbing too.
I totally agree that with Julie Harris et al Geraldine Page is one of the greatest actresess of all time and should have won more Oscars!
Watch Jessica Lange when he says " The greatest actress in the English language" Jessica hit it perfect!! Geraldine Page was a master when it came to acting!!
Bruce Baldwin thank you for that tip.
She turned to Sam Shepard and you can read her lips when she says "It's Geraldine".
Looks more like she’s saying, “Shit, it’s Page.” Which I actually prefer more because it adds humor
Lessa Robinson lmfao!!
@@akdlg9sjjslk8 😂😂😂😋
I truly was pulling for Whoopi because her portrayal of her character was so powerful and meaningful. But when Geraldine won the Oscar that moment felt so right. Her portrayal of a woman wanting to go back to the land where she was raised was everything. Her portrayal of that character will stay with me for ever because life is about connections. And her connection to her home was such a beautiful story. Her win was so well deserved.
It was also her 8th nomination. Startling. Glenn Close should have been so fortunate.
@@paulvoorhies8821 I had no idea it was Ms Paige 8th nomination. A Trip to Bountiful absolutely will stand the test of time. Having grown up in a small town I can relate to the incredible story.
@@riderskater7248 Have you seen her in interiors or Sweet Bird Of Youth? Those 3 women couldn’t be more different. And her brief nominated part in The Pope Of Greenwich Village. What I loved about her was that she was just sooo different and had such range. I loved the fact that she was 100% actress and zero star. All about the craft. Truly a lesser known legend.
Truly a wonderful actress. I have the movie and never tire watching it. To leave us so early, heart breaking. Miss Page will be remembered.
I don't think he was being anything but appreciative that one of the greatest actresses won the Oscar - It was a sweet moment and damn that applause was one of the longest I ever heard in Oscar history - so truly deserved!
I think he felt honored to present the Oscar to one of the greats!!! RIP Ms. Page and thank you.
I doubt there has ever been an Oscar more well deserved.
Whoopi Goldberg
yes
Truly one of the best Oscar decisions ever. Her performance was heartbreaking and timeless.
No , it wasn't. Whoopi should have won.
Sami Brady shut up
It was so about time that Ms. Page finally won the ultimate acting award, The Oscar for her unforgettable and emotional performance in The Trip to Bountiful, a wonderful movie. It was her eighth and last nomination and she won it just in time. I also think she should have won the Oscar for Summer and Smoke (1961). I'll never forget her performance as Alma in the Tennessee Williams story. That role was perfect for her. There will never be another actress like her!
One of the best performances ever! Flawless, raw and just amazing. The color purple is my favorite movie ever, but Miss Geraldine won it hands down
I think oprah had the best proformace i cant belive she was not nomanated
I thought she was exquisite in this movie. Her performance was stunning. Rest in peace Geraldine Page....
She was Sooooo Exquisite!!!
After seven previous nominations she deserved this one. How sad it took so long.
Even more sand, that she only could enjoy it for one year. :(
Plus, Ms. Page passed away in less than a year!😢
Loved her in Hondo with John Wayne
@@scar89 😊 Better than not enjoying it at all.
This woman was a creative genius.
I love how it took her a while to get to the stage to accept the award because she had taken off her shoes during the ceremony knowing that she wouldn't win. Very cute
.......thereby (under Article 1704, section 219 of Murphy's Law) forcing it TO happen (her winning the Award)! Lol
Geraldine Page was some kind of wonderful.
How can you choose among these performances; all were deserving. But having seen "Trip to Bountiful" numerous times, I do not feel this was an unjust choice or a nod to her long career. She was amazing; see it if you haven't already.
+Mum Zee
Rarely do I drop to tears in a movie, but Gerald is one true spirit who moves my soul. I have a good collection of her work and can only dream how grand she must have been on the stage.
Namaste and care,
mhikl
It's pretty easy. Jessie Lange for example shouldn't have been nominated. Brancroft was meh. Streep good but far from her best so it was really between Whoopi the newbie and the veteran.
She is without a doubt the greatest actress in the English language...
Love Geraldine Page...
I love how emotional he gets about it. And I agree with him Geraldine was beyond!
This lady is amazing in the role.
One of the BEST performances that I have ever seen in my life.
Best movie ever...geraldine page is such a good actress...the character she played is so real...
One of the greatest actresses in the history of stage and screen. She shoulda won this 30 years earlier.
Loved her in The Beguiled , she was terrifying in it
Lynn Turman I agree. That is one of my favourite movies and Geraldine is simply stunning in her role.
She was one of the greatest actresses ever - You are so lucky to have met her
1985 was possibly the greatest year for actresses in movie history. The list of nominees could have gone on into eternity. Norma Aleandro in The Official Story and Miranda Richardson in Dance with a Stranger would have been more deserving candidates than Bancroft (whom I love) or Lange. Still, with all that competition, Geraldine Page merited this Oscar for her glorious performance. One of my favorite wins and one of the longest incidents of sustained applause I've ever heard.
It was a year of riches with 9 other fantastic performances that were worthy and memorable.
Vanessa Redgrave
“Wetherby”
Miranda Richardson
“Dance With A Stranger”
Norma Aleandro
“The Official Story”
Coral Browne
“Dreamchild”
Meryl Streep
“Plenty”
Cher
“Mask”
Kathleen Turner
“Prizzi’s Honor”
Mia Farrow
“The Purple Rose of Cairo”
Maggie Smith
“A Private Function”
Best performance by an actor presenting a best actress Oscar.
He's so annoying. getting down on one knee and kissing her hand? puke
@@JoeMama-hu9ek Exactly. Posturing nonsense.
She deserved to win. Because of her performance, this is one of my all-time favorite movies! How refreshing to see a REAL lady with such class without the facelifts and botox.
What have you got against Liza Minelli?
Geraldine couldn't find her shoes which is why it took her so long to get to the stage. That's why Jon Voight is giggling...who by the way brought the little girl standing next to him, his daughter Angelina.
So what
kevin Quinn Don’t have to be rude. I wouldn’t have known Geraldine couldn’t find her shoes, or noticed that was Angelina Jolie if if Hillary didn’t point it out.
@@kevinquinn3763 rude men you are
Come on. you can do better then that.@@-inez
It's true that Geraldine Page was one of the finest actresses we have ever known
Finally, someone with the class to give credit where it's due. To the writer, especially in a case like this, where the script was written by the playwright.
organboi George Burns not only thanked the Screenwriter for the Oscar, but mentioned them first when he won for “The Sunshine Boys”!
That is why she thanked the writer Horton Foote. The play 'Trip to Bountiful' was first produced on the New York stage in 1953 and then broadcast on early American television also in New York in 1954, I think and both starring Lillian Gish who also received rave reviews for her performance as Carrie Watts.
What a wonderful lady that deserved this beyond imagination. So talented.
I agree completely. Not to be overly dramatic, but when I watch her performance in "Trip to Bountiful", I literally get an ache in my stomach seeing the emotions go through Ms. Page. That sense of longing for something that will never be again. Everyone experiences it at some point in their lives. Page expresses it perfectly. Not TV movie by a long shot.
Geraldine Page, like Kim Stanley, Maureen Stapleton, Colleen Dewhurst, Julie Harris and Jessica Tandy, to mention six extraordinary actresses, belongs to one of the greatest generations of performers on the American stage. Her work in A TRIP TO BOUNTFUL is flawless, heart-rending, and crowns a glorious career on stage and screen. She richly deserved the award. For those who would like to see her in other excellent films, do check SUMMER AND SMOKE and SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH. You will be mesmerized by her talent.
Don't forget THE POPE OF GREENWICH VILLAGE!!
I agree on all those actresses.. love them.. Page being the best of the six... The only one I don't like is Jessica Tandy... don't know what it is... she just rubs me the wrong way... but LOVE the other 5...
PepsiMama2 How does JESSICA TANDY rub you the wrong way???? Oh MY GOSH!! MISS DAISY!!!!
I like them all and have been greatly moved by their brilliant work through decades. Physically very different, wonderfully complex as far as personality and acting technique go, they represent a bridge from the older generation (Laurette Taylor, Katharine Cornell, Helen Hayes and other now legendary stars) and the newer one (Glenn Close, Meryl Streep and others). Jessica Tandy was pure magic to me. Try to catch her in a lovely Joan Fontaine-Joseph Cotten film, SEPTEMBER SONG. See what she was able to do with her small but crucial part.
While a supporting role she was awesome in Woody Allen's "Interiors" too
And one more thing - what actor today has to humility and the transcendent grace to thank his/her writer for creating the role? Page was truly a creature of the theater, where the sensibility is that one acknowledges that they illuminated the words of the writer.
If you love G.P., check her out in Woody Allen's "Interiors" - a film on which people are critically divided, but not about Page's masterful creation of the needy, draining, passive aggressive character, Eve.
Autostade67 no way did she deserve this Meryl. Streep should have won
Autostade67 That’s why I think it was so sweet when Kathy Bates thanked the writer of the film adaptation of Misery, and she also thanked the person who even wrote the book in the first place.
Wow. This was one of few occasions that all five nominees have eventually ended up winning at least one Oscar. What a group of talent!
Geraldine Page was brilliant and humble...may her name and talent live forever.
I love how ECSTATIC Meryl Streep is for Geraldine Page finally getting her Oscar glory when her name is announced. I'm sure alot of folks thought F. Murray AbraHAM was referring to Meryl herself when he said "the greatest actress in the English language" at the time. I thought Whoopi was mesmerizing in A Color Purple and would've been a deserving winner, but have no problem with Geraldine winning. She was so brilliantly subtle with the nuance and layers she brought to A Trip to Bountiful. So glad she got her Oscar before her tragic death about a year later
Amazing. Chils. A standing ovation! She deserves it!
Just watch the great Geraldine Page in Trip to Bountiful, and when you melt into her performance, only then you’ll truly know what great acting is.
No way!
Lange and Goldberg have their deserved Oscars for their deserving performances.........all the nominated actresses were good in 1985 but G.Page was clearly the best. Look the audience's reaction! She was one of the best actresses in those years, "the greatest actress in the english language".
No tics, no mannerisms...G.Page was utterly perfect in 'Trip to Bountiful'...and she deserved to win, everyone knew this.
No tics, no mannerisms! 😳 I love her, but she has plenty
That's the problem with Academy. Woophie should have won but Mrs. Page would have died Oscarless if she hadn't won. And offcourse she deserves it. She deserves long ago.
@@SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi no, Géraldine Page deserved it. Like M. Abraham said, she was at that time the best actress in English langage. For once, the choice was right.
@@SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi. To be fair, I honestly believe this was as much for the actual performance as much as a legacy win, which Oscar does get wrong often-but not on this night.
@@reasonrestored9116 For sure; tics aplenty in Bountiful, and they all work.
Page's performance was great in Bountiful. It was a deserving honor
Geraldine Page has great acting in The Trip to Bountiful.
I first saw her in the film "Toys in the Attic," when I was very young...she gave (like always) a brilliant, breath-taking performance. So happy to see her win, here! I found out later that she was so certain she wasn't going to win, she had taken her shoes off. That's what took her so long to get to the stage...she was putting her shoes back on!
So richly deserved Oscar. One of America's greatest actresses ever.
She's the voice of Madame Medusa in The Rescuers.
@@mitchellhodack657😂
Now she was a class act, just look at how humble she is after decades in the business, none of this celebrity bullshit.
Brilliant actress. Well earned and deserved recognition.
Geraldine Page....we love you.
Una ovación de pie de un minuto y medio...... cosa que ya no se ven en los Oscars hoy en día. Grande Geraldine Page y su maravillosa actuación en "El viaje a Bountiful", merecidísimo reconocimiento.
I saw Geraldine's performance in "The Trip to Bountiful and it was wonderful. However her body of works speak for itself and was glad to see the academy acknowledging her for her years of great performances. Love her in "Dear Heart!"
I don't like many movies, but The Trip to Bountiful is in my Top 3, along with Come Back Little Sheba and To Kill a Mockingbird.
+Jonathon Edwards You have good taste.
She deserved this Academy Award as she had given us excellent performances in every film and theatre that she graced with her presence. She also should have won for Woody Allen’s Ingmar Bergman inspired “Interiors,” but sadly did not prevail that evening. That mistake was rectified here, and bless you Geraldine Page for the many hours of viewing pleasure that you gave us. RIP.
This must have been a wonderful final note for her, she passed away soon after, in 1987.
Thanks for mentioning 'Interiors' and that scene. It is my favorite scene in that movie. Her haunting and masterful performance in that film should have won it for her. She was flawless.
The church scene?? I ❤ it!!
How nice that Abraham knelt as he presented Geraldine with her Oscar. Did you notice her acknowledging her old friend actor William Hickey?
This performance was and is timeless,,, what a magnificent actress,, this movie is a treasure
No one could have brought such a possibly "small" role together with so much love, feeling, and depth,, absoloutly the best,,,And you have to watch her in Interiors,,,another magnificent role, BRAVO
thank you for posting, i just finished watching the movie, and rushed to UA-cam to see this clip,, and there it was,,, magnificent
I will always love Geraldine Page--the greatest actress of her generation. Thanks for this post. What a talent she was!
One of the greatest American actresses of all time!!! It is a shame that despite her enormous talent, 7 Academy Awards nominations and 1 win she is completely forgotten by the general public.
I love Trip to Bountiful. This was a well-deserved award.
She so deserved this Oscar.Anytime anyone asks me to recommend a movie I tell them to see this movie. There will never be another actress like her so unusual and quirky. If you'd like to see another great film with Geraldine Page,
Truman Capote's "A Christmas Memory" about Truman's childhood living with his aunt. Who by the way was the darling old lady on the Jay Leno Tonite show as the fruitcake lady who would tell people like it is when answering there questions.
This lady deserved the Oscar!! An amazing performance.
Geraldine Page was one of the most sublime actresses to ever come down the pike. A master actor! Actually, she received a total of EIGHT Oscar nominations for: HONDO (Supporting); SUMMER AND SMOKE (Lead); SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH (Lead); YOU'RE A BIG BOY NOW (Supporting); PETE N TILLIE (Supporting); INTERIORS (Lead); THE POPE OF GREENWICH VILLAGE (Supporting); THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL (Lead and Oscar Win)
Blessings of love and light to her spirit and her acting legacy!
This is one of my favorite performances in a movie It just sticks with you forever.
It is about time that "Geraldine Page" finally gets the honor of this Oscar Award.
So sweetl...seems without ego...in that way she would inhabit the roles she played. She mentions others in the company...the sign of a stage actress and someone aware of the collaborative effort to make a film. Carrie Watts was unforgettable.
Well deserved. Great movie. I can watch it over and over.
This was truly one of the most loaded Best Actress races in the history of the Academy Awards. All five performances were worthy of a win. I'm sure, though, that the deciding factor was Ms. Page's body of excellent work and that's why she was ultimately awarded the Oscar that year.
Truly one do the greats! To see her in the theater was unforgettable! Riveting even when she did nothing!
Damn - this was just one of those years where the nominees were all damn great and it was a difficult call...and also one of those years when all the nominees - in her own way - was a classy, classy lady - each with an intelligence and sensuality difficult to find today. Sure, there are young actors today who have the chops, but each and everyone of them have the class?
Thank you for this clip! Geraldine Page was the greatest actress of the 20th century. She is simply a legend!! I had the bittersweet fortune of meeting Ms. Page in NYC the week before she died. She was in Blight Spirit on Broadway and I met her at the stage door after the show. I tlaked her ear off for at least 10 minutes. She was most kind, friendly and very personable. Even all these years later that night is etched in my mind.
I miss her.
She was working up until she died. My God--that’s true dedication to your craft!
Totally well deserved win. One of the greatest performances of all time. And a brilliant, moving film.
Why - I think it is a honest display of emotion - as he is so happy she won and did you forget the standing ovation she garnered - All of Hollywood was happy she finally won - It is a beautiful appreciation
I remember watching this that night in 1986. I'd seen all five movies, and I loved all the performances by the nominated actresses. But, I was so very very happy when Geraldine Page won! I love every single movie she has ever been in. Wonderful actress!
All the noms have Oscar. Talk about talent!
Geraldine Page and Rip Torn had on their home door they had TORN PAGE to emulate their humour. In 1963, she married actor Rip Torn, who was six years her junior. They remained married until her death. :)
She deserved this Oscar for her AMAZING performance!!!!! There's nothing to add.
I think it's safe to say that not only did she win this for that magnificent performance for a lifetime of magnificent performances. If you've never seen Summer and Smoke, Hondo, or Sweet Bird of Youth I urge you to. Absolutely brilliant.
I adore this woman. so glad she won. I especially loved her in Dear Heart. she and Glen Ford were magical.
GERALDINE PAIGE truly deserves this Oscar and it was long overdue. I saw all the other performances and while Jessia Lange and Whoppi were both good, they were NOT as good as Geraldine Paige....Not even close.....May her soul RIP....I love her and miss her...
Agreed! Geraldine Pages only true competition in this race was Ann Bancroft. The other 3 were great but not oscar worthy. Geraldine deserved it!!
Which shows your lack of taste in the skill of acting.
which shows your STUPIDITY, IDIOCITY AND UTTER IGNORANCE
What are you Miss Page's grandson or something?
1958mlvc I am sure both myself and @VICTORIANO MORENO would have been privileged to be that
@gingerbreadcorpses Yes, it is coming toward the end of this week...early next week at the latest. We are currently in the process of editing it.
Don't know much about her, but Geraldine Page seemed a genuinely lovely person, and looked bemused by her win and the ovation she got.
Geraldine Page was amazing!
What an incredible year for best actress competition... Probably the hardest one of the last 30 years!
A glorious performance, filled with every nuance of the actor's repertoire.
Well deserved!!! Great movie, amazing performance!
