Kevin came on and reminded us why we go to the movies! He also brought proper decorum back to the Oscars. He demonstrates how a real man and gentleman conducts him self! Thank you Mr Costner! You are a scholar and a gentleman
"Decorum." Thank you, I've been reaching for the right word since the Oscars and that's it. Decorum was missing and we got chaos.

Kevin Costner really knows how to command a room, tell a story and humbly commend and honour the nominees... pure class, intelligence and a real gentleman. He fixed the Oscars that night, reminding us all what the Oscars used to be/should be about, and why we go to the movies... and why he’s a perfect role model.
What a legend.
You could see by his body language he was not comfortable at first, but then he settled in and delivered- no cue cards, no teleprompter- direct from the heart. He is a class act.
WHEN CLASS AND RESPECT COMES TO THE OSCARS. WILL SMITH NEEDS TO TAKE A PAGE FROM THIS MANS BOOK.
Millionaires who lie claiming to be victims of racial oppression in USA are being judged. USA has always fought corruption in several areas at the same time while creating a variety of honest paying jobs so future generations can get out of sin.
The abolishionists carried guns to the plantations and freed millions of slaves but they chose to firm gangs in NYC and to leave and go to Liberia.
USA was fighting the British, French, Spain and Asian nomads who traveled over the Pacific Ocean.
The human traffickers depleted our resources back then same as today but they are still outlaw criminals.
Thoselaws that were unconstitutional were supposed to be repealed but people were afraid of assassination.
It was complicated.
Those who chose to follow false prophets destroy themselves.

Kevin, by far, was the most dignified part of the whole broadcast...well done sir!
He was not reading off a teleprompter. He was able to compose his mind enough to come up with that to bring the show back to life immediately after the gong show.
Kevin is a class at all the way. He is so professional and so dignified and he's just an all-around good guy. This is how the show should be.
This is the gold standard for Academy speeches, introductions, presentations and if each and everyone who took the stage spoke with such eloquence and style the Academy ‘ Performance 🎭 ’ would have ratings through the roof! Kevin is brilliant on and of stage! Congratulations for being class back to the stage!!!! 👏
I always knew he was a child of the soil,no facade,no trappings, just an honourable, decent, humble,classy, graceful human being with integrity. What an amazing man!

Simply a class act from start to finish--his speech was infused with passion and dedication to his craft. And while this is not relevant to the Oscar ceremony, if you want to see Kevin Costner at his very best, look for his eulogy on youtube at the funeral of Whitney Houston. It will bring tears to your eyes.

Thanks Kevin Costner we are the same age and I appreciate your kindness and respect and for being a gentleman as people should behave. Bless you for showing them how to behave.
Yes, he is! This is a Beautiful moving speech. I know he wrote it too. I can't believe I missed this. Love Kevin Costner Always. 💖 Dances With Wolves will forever be one of the best Movies ever.
You are right about the Whitney Houston Eulogy. Love to Kevin Costner 🙏💖😎. Brave Onward!
Dances with Wolfes is still one of the best movies.
Dances with Wolves. JFK. Untouchables. Open Range. Field of Dreams. No Way Out. Hatfields and McCoy. Waterworld. Robin Hood. Wyatt Earp... he is legend.
DWW was a horrible movie, savages kidnapped settlers, raped and murdered innocent people because the British gave them weapons and convinced the devil worshipping pagans to kill the settlers.
Indians turned down paying jobs on the railroad, didn't want to attend schools and broke the treaties themselves because they were blood thirsty.
Kevin is the epitome of style, class, intellect and an example of what Hollywood and the film industry was. He is a brilliant, understated actor with great charm and someone young people can aspire to be like.
Kevin Costner is a “movie🌟star” for all the good and respectful things which he inspires in us all.
Bravo to the man🥂🌟🥂who always stands tall💖

I noticed you said Kevin Costner is an example of what the film industry WAS. I agree. I have often grieved over what I see now.
I hope younger actors will aspire to his example and that writers, producers and directors will aim higher in their story telling. It can and has been done. We need a change.

What a tribute to the power of film. When he said he was in good hands sitting there in the dark as a 7 year old, I remembered how my mother would send us to the movies with no fear that we’d see anything but an adventure that we would enjoy or laugh or run home to tell her about. That was a long time ago.

Kevin Costner is & will always be one of my favorite actors! Every movie I have seen him in has been better than the next! When you’re so natural at playing so many different characters/roles in movies as Costner is it’s looks so easy or should I say maybe comfortable for Costner I could see him acting for many years to come! Let’s hope we get to see Costner on TV & movies for many years to come!

Very good , Mr. Costner! You brought some decency to the ceremony. I know a little story about you……my cousin was ding from a brain tumor since she was 3 years old. She was in her teens when she knew she was dying. Kevin Costner met her and her parents at the Lis Angeles Airport with a bouquet of roses…..and for two days wined and dined them and made life very special for her. When she was 19 she finally passed. At her funeral they had a large framed picture if Kevin Costner standing by her casket. That Make A Wish was very important to her and her family until the day she died. Good job, Mr. Costner. Thank you!
Wow, just when I think I’ve heard of many good deeds Mr Costner has done, i read this. He is such an all American kid who grew into his fathers shoes. William Costner has to be watching from heaven and very proud of his good, humble, generous, kind and well mannered son🌹🙏🏼
Did not know about this till now. He did the good deed quietly without fanfare or publicity stunt. Sincere & genuine not fake not for show.
The characters he plays are so iconic! Absolutely one of the best!!
He’s shown through the years he’s no pushover and doesn’t get intimidated by anyone. That’s what it takes to stand and speak with such strength
I had three favourite actors in Hollywood and you are one of them Kevin Coster. I watched all your films. You are a good actor doesn't even age, intelligent and what a classy speech that you delivered ❤❤.
Yes they knocked him back hard with Waterworld I thought it was very good and in this day and age very thought provoking.
Thank you! I was livesteaming this segment and it delayed and skipped this part. Kevin is literally the greatest. What an amazing monologue.
I agree I absolutely loved what he said here and no one posted it. All anyone can talk about is Will Smith and Chris rock
You can tell he feels privileged and grateful to be there Will smith feels entitled...... we need more Kevin Costner’s and cancle the will smiths

This is the best thing that happened that night. Elegant, smooth, deep.
He deserve all the credits...the real thing!!!!💗💕

A gentleman who is very charming and smart and kind. I really like him, mainly because although he is very famous, he has not fled, he lives happily with many of his children, his horses and everything that is dear to him. Great people are like that!

Not in Budapest, but not far from it is a village (its definition: not yet a city, but no longer a village) The point is that it is a very beautiful and happy, peaceful place. By bus approx. I can be in Budapest in 1/2 hour! The transport is very good, although I rarely travel these days.
@@annakisfaludinebaan Oh OK. Wow good place to live and what a nice name you also have here too. how is the weather conditions there?
@@danielwetmore6907 I have a really big nice name. My maiden and married names are both very old and uncommon (noble). The weather is today: the weather is cloudy and there is quite a lot of wind. In a word, it is not suitable for the holiday. Now my kids are gone, from whom I got great gifts and I feel really good. I hope you are well too!
In any case, I wish you a blessed and peaceful Easter!
@@annakisfaludinebaan yeah I'm great. If I may ask you what do you do for a living?
He does a great job getting the focus back on why they were there. I have no doubt he knew what he has to do and put a little more into that speech
Thank You Kevin Costner, for bringing back the old glam, honor, and respect to an industry that has influenced generations and millions of people around the world no matter their background. May they follow your example and stop the bs.

He's still absolutely the best. Never tire of listening to his voice. Old skool. Perfect.
Still a great looking guy. Always have admired him.
He has the class that other guys lack need I say more? 🤩
Such class of a real man.
He is a true gentleman
This is how A True Is And ALL Should have been like this or Kevin Should Host or Give All the Oscars out !
Kevin the OLDER you get, the more HANDSOME you become! You are very EASY on the EYES.And I ABSOLUTELY love YELLOWSTONE!
Class act period. I became a bigger fan of him as a person when he spoke at Whitney's unfortunate funeral. Watch it on UA-cam and you will be impressed. Bring tissue.
I just love Kevin, he is the best of the best
He was right...How The West Was Won is an epic movie that showed cinema at its best. The cast of stars was unbelievable!! And fabulous music. It is a classic and should be shown in history classes.
Brilliant, Outstanding, Classic, Elegant , Excellent. Kevin 🌹

@@danielwetmore6907 Hello Daniel Blessings from Los Angeles's, Ca. 🙏😊
A compelling speech, Kevin Costner has indeed something to say (watch mesmerized Javier Bardem, Kenneth Branagh, Bradley Cooper, Jason Momoa and Denzel Washington hanging on his lips!)! You could hear a pin drop! The gravity of this "dramatic" discourse was obviously too much for the winner later on as Jane Campion wasn't able to stand the pace...
I thought he handled the response from Jane Campion to his speech beautifully also, when she described it as 'dramatic' to his face, which had a tinge of condescension to it, imo. Fair play to KC. It's clear that the words came from a place deep inside him.
Agreed! I thought that was incredibly rude of her. No need for it. Just say thank you and accept your award.
Caught that, too! What?...she can't handle a man saying something dignified & classy? Seems like she's acting like a B-I-T-C-H. And I like her movies, too.
you can see here exactly why he's still a star i think this oscars was really good
despite the will smith bit violence doesn't achieve anything
He just gets better with age.

Loves from France ...
You could have heard a pin drop . How engaging he is to listen to and watch .
Class act
A class act at an otherwise crap shoot
This is how it’s done
I had to go back and truly put attention to what Kevin said, because of the previous incident I don't think registered the proper way with many people, it is very thoughtful, cames across as a confession from someone who loves what they do. Can't recall this category to be presented in such a humble way ever before and only to introduce it to the great Jane Campion. Respect
Unfortunately she replied with absolutely no class, I was very disappointed in her..
@@ferretfriend5458 oh yeah definitely. She came off as the old librarian who punished someone for making noise, and her written speach was unremarkable. In retrospect, Costner was one of the few, if not, just the only one who addressed the influece/power of films and that right now the medium is at stake.
Kevin is such a great guy in every way ..one you the best long may he continue doing what he loves ..❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧👌
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.

I truly hope that these icons, such as Kevin Costner keep on participating in The Oscars. The Oscars need to be revamped and polished as in the days of Bob Hope, Johnny Carson, Sidney Poitier, Elizabeth Taylor and the list goes on. This is why the ratings are so low. There are tremendous things for the the academy to reevaluate on decorum, honor and good taste.
What a decent man
One of the most beautiful men to have lived x
And that is how it should be done.... 👏👏👏 🎥 🎬
See violent will smith...a gentleman...this is the academy awards
I watched a movie he was in 1990 and he’s just an amazing actor
So handsome and sweet and humbled... I love him in every movie or every interview I saw him in...
That was beautiful
Class overload
Mr. Kevin Costner you are one of a kind. True to yourself, true to people, true to the arts. You are a credit to the culture of Global citizenship..Thank you for the many roles you have portrayed on screen.
I am a 77yr old male. His words bought a tears. It took me back to my childhood and how the movies captured me. They took me to another World. A magic World.
The Smith comes along and dumps on this legacy.
We must not judge past talents by the actions of a lunatic.
Thank you Kevin.
Wonderful speech
Kévin. .toujours la classe et charisme ❤un grand acteur
He and I are about the same age...and "How the West Was Won" was my very first adult film as well.
His words where wonderful much needed that night
Urgh what a rude and sarcastic response from that woman who won!! KC handled it so well. And she brought a speech with her, I hate that.
I thought her response was weird, too! Why would she sh*t on such a classy and dignified introduction? She should be thrilled it wasn’t some random comedian who didn’t even write a speech introducing her. What was that all about?? Jealousy? Maybe it wadd add her way of saying she didn’t deserve such a dramatic introduction or downplaying her accomplishments…or maybe she was just being a jerk. It was strange.
@@Neptune466 I think she was just being a jerk 😉 The way she had brought a speech was like, hmm I already know I'm going to win....smh
@@kate3024 oh I think a lot of them write notecards, especially the non-actors - or sometimes just names of people they CANNOT forget to thank. I was glad to see a woman win (I think only 2 have EVER won) so I understand that part. Plus, lots of them do have a general sense of if they will “receive the Oscar” (they stopped officially saying “win”) based on SAG awards, Golden Globes…I just think she was either trying to somehow downplay the work of the director (which makes no sense- why would she be embarrassed about how much work a director puts into it?) or - yes- being a jerk. I thought she had directed “The Piano” many years ago (which was hard to watch but an incredibly well told story) but someone tied it to Roman Polanski the other night (ha! Not the kind of company you want to keep.)
I love me some Kevin Costner
He is such a hunk. I had a crush on him since the bodyguard. He hadn't aged at all. He has some good genes in his family. It's like what ever Jennifer Lopez is drinking.
BRILLIANT ACTOR RIGHT HERE...

Love Kevin Costner
Oh gosh i've been watching movies and kevin costner movies all my life. I just loved this speech! Perfect. It made it feel like this was actually the oscars compared to what the rest of this night was sheesh!
Then the lady comes up and says it was dramatic? Wow rude. That pissed me off.
Love him, classy articulate and a gentleman all wrapped up in this beautiful man👌
My goodness. Right after the circus act. He comes with this. Well done sir.
The ciircus act also stole from the other notable and deserving winners that evening.
Who ever wrote this. The title of the movie is "How the West was Won" not (one.) How stupid!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏
