He was one of the greatest male actors of all time. He had an intensity and grace that was magnetic. As a little girl I had a crush on him♥️.....I just realized I still do. 🤗
I was so thrilled for Sidney Poitier when he got that honorary Oscar.....my favorites are "To Sir With Love" and "A Patch Of Blue".....he so deserved it....he is a class act all the way ~
"Sydney Poitier is an American treasure. And not an African American treasure; he is an American treasure." Halle Berry "He is the standard, for me and for a lot of actors--black or white." Denzel Washington Yes, all the way!
His role to African-Americans in that time and in the future can not be stated. But yes, oh yes. Sidney poitier is one of the greatest role models for what an great American could be.
Sidney Poitier is a true inspiration. He paved the way for African Americans in the movie business. In a time where you barely saw black people in movies. His Oscar victory was a true epic moment. And as a Latino, I pray that one day a Latin@ wins Best Actor and Best Actress
Honest Person I don’t understand why you’re saying this here. The people in this clip are acknowledging the respect they hold for Sidney. They know he forged the path for them. What you’re saying is aimed Sidney, and Sidney has ALWAYS given praise and honor to those who forged a path for HIM. He is clear in his acknowledgment of, and respect for, all who came before him. No one is dissing anyone. No one has forgotten anyone here. This was about Sidney, though, and what the people who came after him thought of HIM. please don’t take away from that honor by creating opinions and conflict where none exist.
John Bryan I think we have come to the day people are afraid to say how they feel..there is no longer free speech. When one person doesn’t allow another to express a dissenting opinion, we ALL have lost. Grateful for your words.

Whoopi said it best. " This is the guy that Cinderella is going to take to the ball."

Sidney was not an African American he was from the West Indies.
Loved all his movies
The label of legend and great are thrown around to often Sidney Poitier is both
Thank you Sidney ❤️
"They Call Me MR. TIBBS!"
Sidney is just that good
Everyone imagines Morgan Freeman as God. I see Sidney Poitier as God, all in white, like in “Lilies of the Field”. Amen.
Poor Morgan Freeman. He needs JESUS. "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." John 8:36!
King
The.best.of.the.best!!!
They should have included a clip from the movie he did with Clark gable.
Sid the call me Mr tibbs the greatest beautiful actor to sir with love xo

Eddie Murphy is missing in this clip.
Sidney is my uncle
We are ONLY born to fall in love with JESUS, then go Home to live with Him Forever! NO OTHER REASON. 🙏🙌👏💞
Halle you are so beautiful.
Zhinnie Poitier.
Best actor who was the best.
I don’t like particularly that they focus and limit it to black actors thanking Poitier.
I am white. He’s my hero too
