It’s always been amazing to me that he wasn’t nominated for “Double Indemnity “. A great injustice
During his lifetime, he wasn't nominated for NOTHIN'! An even greater injustice.
Even worse when you know that Barry Fitzgerald was nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor FOR THE SAME ROLE!!! so there was a spot for Edward G. Robinson.
Not even a standing ovation for a man of many talents...breaks your heart, doesn't it?
Who cares about this pretentious display of respect?
@@lepetitchat123 So you wouldn't stand for someone in your life you respected in life and in their twilight years? What an uncaring soul you are.
@@lepetitchat123 We care. Thats the least what him and many other deserve.
Edward G Robinson was a great actor,and he should have received an Oscar nomination for his role in Our Vines Have Tender Grapes. But in the fifties he named names and prehaps the reason for the lukewarm applause. Though I believe had he been alive to receive it and made the same entrance as his wife to accept it,he would have got a standing ovation.
You can feel the pain inside of Heston's heart while talking.
All is not too much for such a great actor like G. Robinson
Shamefully, the academy ignored the great character actor for 50 years. Not so much as a nomination . Film fans would, i'm sure, loved to have seen him get the award for his portrayal of Barton Keyes in Double Indemnity.
Not exactly "ignored". He gained some notoriety for being a HUAC "friendly witness" that resulted in many of fellow actors/actresses to be blacklisted.
@@dangelo1369 I doubt that was solely due to his individual testimony. Stars like Cooper also gave testimony the HUAC found 'friendly' and he went on to receive an oscar for High Noon.
@@dangelo1369 What an asshole thing to say. Go fuck yourself.
Charlton Heston and Edward G Robinson are best friends even they are fight as a cast in Ten Commandments (1956)
Love Edward g Robinson!! Loved all his movies from Little Caesar onwards!!! No academy award!! No words for that !!
Imagine how the Academy could skip over such a talent for 5 decades without so much as a nomination. Now imagine what the Academy has become. No need to say more.
Boy is that the truth.
So really the Academy voting system has always been pretty crap as there was scores of actors that didn't win an Oscar, never won 2 or more Oscars when richly deserved it, and some didn't even get nominated - directors as well.
Exactly.
For a talented actor like Robinson, he should have gotten this years ago, I would argue that Boris karloff should have also received one for his longevity . He was also a great actor and talent.
Spot on.
He was such a fine actor. He put his
mark on so many great films and the
lesser of those were enhanced greatly by his presence in them. In the 1970s I had occasion to walk by
a flower shop frequently called Kristanos & Koster located in the East 60s off Madison Ave. as I remember it. A beautiful old style
florist and in the window was a letter
of thanks from Edward G. Robinson who had been sent flowers by the owners when they found out he was dining nearby. I thought this a nice tribute to him and a beautiful story.
I used to walk that way to look at that letter very often. I enjoyed his work then and as I got older I appreciated it all the more. The Oscars really don't mean much. In some cases they get it right but mostly it's the movie going public
who either by viewing habits or acts
of appreciation for film stars let it be known who the best in the business are.
I wonder if Heston was chosen to present the award because they worked together in the Ten Commandments or because they worked together in his final movie soylent green
I have to agree with the writer who said that he should have had a nomination and possible Award for his role in "Our Vines Have Tender Grapes". He was terrific playing a man who was a loving father, husband, and community leader. Its incredible that he was never nominated for anything. But I'm sure that politics played a role in that. I agree that the lukewarm and polite applause that his wife received on his behalf was disappointing. He deserved better if for no other reason than the volume of work he did at a high level. He was also known to be a more than decent person.
Top 25 actors hollywood ever produced
R.I.P. Edward G. Robinson (1893-1973)
Я поражен игрой Эдварда Робинсона. не буду выделять определенный фильм.
Он великий актер. один из лучших. запоминающейся внешность, и талант, который я не могу описать словами.
То что он получил Оскар после смерти, это издевательство.
Эдвард Робинсон при жизни был Великим, но после смерти стал Эпохальным.
I am amazed by the performance of Edward Robinson. I won't single out a specific movie.
He is a great actor. one of the best. memorable appearance, and a talent that I cannot describe in words.
The fact that he received an Oscar after his death is a mockery.
Edward Robinson was a Great during his lifetime, but after his death he became an Epic.
Key Largo, The Stranger, Double Indemnity...
Would it have KILLED the Academy to throw him a nomination for those performances?
Here, the Academy is finally honoring one of the greatest and iconic actors in film history, yet the members of the audience give a lukewarm acknowledgment, and Gene Hackman is so self-absorbed, he doesn't even have the decency to applaud.
To the contrary, i think Hackman's expression was simply reflecting his personal thoughts at that moment, thoughts which might well have included the span of another amazing film actor's career.
it was a shame that this Oscar came too a few weeks late for Edward G Robinson. It should have happened years earlier.
@@bbdupon Hackman always speaks with great warmth & affection when discussing that generation of actors. Check out his acceptance when given the Cecil B. Demille award. It is on youtube...
Hackman & Duvall are among the finest of any era, both in their late 80s. Cherish them while we have them...
I noticed that WtF 's going on there ...?
Right, now we judge a person for not applauding at the right time just because the camera caught him.Maybe he had constipation. What makes you so judgy?

A magnífica, a monumental Greer Garson!!!
Un actor considerado x muchos como el mejor de todos los tiempos njnca recibio el premio mas importante de la Academia. De injusticias esta llena la historia.
Too bad he couldn't accept the award in person. "Thanks for the award, see? Yeah."
Edward g Robinson is a legend. 99% of these so called actors would have not cut it during peak era of Hollywood. Gene Hackman is OK. Few good films. But he can’t even touch Robison. Robinson’s time even a B grade actor would be a legend by today’s standards .
Are you saying Robinson is a B grade actor? I'd definitely dial back the 99% todays actors though, if you can see thru your own hatred, there are many great actors today that could have survived in Robinson's peak era. Who is the 1% you are giving a pass to?
One great citizen of Hollywood presents a much deserved award to another great citizen of Hollywood. Why didn't they stand up for the widow?
Cause they eat their young!
Good Question!
This was a time when the Hollywood actors did entertain and didn't lecture.
What a wonderful brilliant actor he was. Truly one of the greatest and one of my all time favourites. But what's with the ultra serious faced Gene Hackman not applauding the speech of widow Jane Robinson??? Some actors just can't drop the acting for a moment eh.
Buenísimo
He was screwed because he was NOT a Communist.
Algunos Gene Hackman no aplaude, un oscar tardío para uno de los mejores actores del cine👏👏👏
Edward G. Robinson is near the top of the list that comprises the top ten greatest actors of all time: Robinson, Cagney, Bogart, Gary Cooper, Jimmy Stewart and Spencer Tracy. (The other four being Chaplin, Brando, De Niro and Fonda) His skill, versatility, strength, sincerity and total honesty, commitment and dedication as an actor has rarely been surpassed well into the 21st century. From Little Caesar to All My Sons, from Brother Orchid to Double Indemnity, from Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet to The Sea Wolf to Key Largo to House Of Strangers to The Cincinnati Kid, Eddie Robinson did it all. Edward G. Robinson was, is and always will be, the best. Talent is not measured by academy awards or life achievement awards. It's measured by a performer's endurance with the public. In over 100 characterizations spanning over 50 years, Edward G. Robinson's work has stood the test of time. 50 years after his death, Edward G. Robinson's masterly characterizations live on. Thank you, Eddie.
A top ten list is virtually impossible to compile as much as we all do it from time to time. One's list is always open for scrutiny and criticism. To pull yours apart, the biggest omissions are no females or minorities on the list. Are you trying to say that Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn, Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman, Jodie Foster, Cicely Tyson, Meryl Streep doesn't get considered on a top ten list? Non white actors like Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington, Anthony Quinn etc would also grab a top ten spot. Of the white male actors you only name, there are so many that you conveniently miss off like Laurence Olivier, Walter Brennen, Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster, Paul Muni, William Holden, Alec Guinness, Gregory Peck, Al Pacino, Gene Hackman, Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, Jack Lemmon, Peter Finch, Jack Nicholson, Buster Keaton and perhaps your biggest omission - Cary Grant who is 2nd only to Humphrey Bogart as a greatest of all screen actors.
This is only a "top 10" list, not a top 100 list lol' 😏 If it were a top 10 list, all of the artists you named would be on it. 👍👍
Johnny Rocco and Caesar rule!! See
Think youre smart see
Today, they would have given his memory a deafening applause for going against the Russians
Was this posthumous
Yes, he died about two months before this.
They're always LATE in giving recognitions.., perhaps, politics gets in the way. ;';ed davis, john malkovich, doris day, to name a few,,'
Gene Hackman was either bored shitless or just wasn't a fan.
Is this the end of Rocco?….
Too late.
