Forget all the other Superman actors. Christopher Reeve WAS Superman. He was the one who really humanized the character. In this age of gritty, dark reboots, it's been forgotten that the reason Superman is a compelling character is because he's a genuinely good man. Perhaps the reason Reeve could portray that so naturally is because he was also a good person, a Superman in real life. His first two Superman movies set the template that superhero movies still follow to this day.
I’m reading Christopher’s 1998 autobiography “Still Me”, and I’m up to the part where he describes going to these Oscars. His appearance was kept pretty secretive, and he was nervous about what could’ve happened, like hitting a bump and having a full body spasm. The fact he still went up on stage is so brave
@WILD BILL foda-se a sua opinião seu merdinha. no meu país nós usamos frases assim para honrar grandes pessoas, assim como dizemos aqui "Ayrton Senna não morreu, ele apenas esta uma volta a frente"
@@constanceconnelley2877 Base on what his family said, Reeve managed to move some of his fingers towards the end of his life. Remarkable improvement and a test of will.
Was and always will be one of the best ACTORS in the world. Was and always be for me and for many others THE ONLY SUPERMAN! REST IN PEACE CHRISTOPHER REEVE..THE HERO OF MY CHILDHOOD.
Christopher deserved that standing ovation before all A-listers. He was going through massive health issues. He was paralysed. He was an awesome actor and a perfect superman. RIP ❤❤
Yeah, Hollywood cheering that Superman rose up to be a quadriplegic. They put him on stage for themselves, not for him. They needed an excuse to feel good about something. Little do they know...there's nothing good about Superman being cast into a wheelchair. He survived, which is phenomenal. But they have no right to emotionally capitalize on his survival.
a couple notable crowd expressions to appreciate in context: 0:28 - Nic Cage - a *massive* lifelong Superman fan who literally named his son Kal-El and was already in talks to play the role in the upcoming Tim Burton version 0:44 - John Travolta - one of the original frontrunners for Superman '78 before Reeve was cast 0:47 - Marsha Garces Williams(left side of the screen) - Robin Williams' wife and a close friend of Reeve; Reeve credited Robin with giving him the will to live again by visiting after his accident.
0:47 I think the camera was really focused on Winona Ryder (a hot young star at the time) and Marcia Garces Williams just happened to be standing next to her.
I saw this the night it aired on the Oscars....what a moment, will never forget it....I felt the same way everyone in the audience did....Chris was so courageous, he worked tirelessly with his foundation to help others in his situation....finally his poor tired body needed rest....Rest In Peace Christopher, you were so very special 💘 ✨✨✨
At a event in St. Louis many, many years ago. I took my son Sean to meet Chris. My son has downs syndrome. When we got to him, I introduced him and said "Sean this is superman." He smiled and said. "No I'm just a actor that got to play superman." I remember tears in my eyes as I looked at him and said, "you've always been superman, more now than in the movies." I still get emotional thinking of it.
I noticed that too. I'd have reacted the same way! A salute to the Superman (1978) director Richard Donner. Donner not only had the perfect pick for the portrayal of Superman, but he also had the perfect musical conductor. A perfect time to be alive as a musical conductor! At least, for the modern time. Can't diss the late Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, and Tchaikovski! 😅
Isn't it crazy that the actor that played the man of steel himself ended up truly being THE superman in reality during his most vulnerable moments? R.I.P Christopher Reeve
That was the most emotional heart wrenching Academy Award moment in the history of the Oscars When that curtain was raised and Christopher Reeve was introduced was a moment that everyone in that theatre and at home would never ever forget It still touches my heart and soul to this day Christopher Reeve would pass away 8 years later on October 10 2004
And with the simple raising of a curtain revealing that extraordinary man on stage, all of Hollywood was on it's feet. Perhaps the most heartwarming, heartbreaking, legendary moments in award show history.
He’s a big comic book fan in the first place. That’s why he went to play ghost rider twice (even though he might not suit the part). Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think he changed his last name to Cage cos of Luke Cage.
Such a moment. I was 8 years old when I first saw this and I cried seeing Superman like this. It was just so cruel. As an adult I have a new appreciation for it, because Reeve proved everyday after that that he really was Superman.
Regardless of his accident and the horrific injuries he suffered he still soldiered on. An absolute trojan and a legend. My first hero as a child. Absolutely loved him and was gutted when this happened to him. What an amazing guy.
I don't know why but I just cried for 10 minutes! I had a spine injury, although it isn’t serious, I suffered for almost 1 year and yet to completely recover. I was about to give up. Christopher Reeve, I have mad respect for you, sir!
Well considering they were classmates, but more importantly, best friends at Juilliard (and then on) where they started their careers, I would say Robin came to love Christopher. They both were fine gentlemen.
Christopher and his family visited my school whilst filming The Remains of the Day. I got to shake his hand and his fingers reached my forearm I was so small. He said ‘thank you’ to me for no reason. My hero who made me believe I can fly, it’s my turn to say ‘thank you’ ❤️❤️
On what would have been your 69th birthday, we will always remember you Christopher and the impact that you had on the world. May both you and Dana RIP ♥️♥️🕊🕊
Tears streaming here. I met Dana circa 1999. We were at a Marfan Foundation fundraiser. She was the speaker/honoree. I went to tell her what a fabulous speech and how inspiring she was and during my conversation, I noticed she had green spinach visible on her teeth so I told her and she rubbed her teeth right then and asked if she got it. Took another attempt and all clear. She was so sweet, so down to earth, so beautiful. I’m grateful I got to to meet such a truly special woman. She just radiated love and beauty and warmth. God rest her soul and Her Superman.
An actor's actor. He was so much more than Superman. Not only did he survive a horrible accident, but he pushed forward and tried to continue acting. If you haven't seen his remake of Rear Window, please check it out. Tremendous.
Sigh.... me too. He made me believe there is really a man called Superman when I was really small, and now that I am all grown up, I REALLY REALLY admire his courage and his strength. He is "up up and away!" and "faster than the speeding bullet!" now in Heaven.
Soojee Pyo I understand how you feel exactly, im totally inspired by him. What a great human being he is. Yes indeed flying in Heaven. My love for him is no coincidence i recieved a spriitual Superman experience in dreamtime. So your a long time fan i assume =)
Sno0py87 Yeah, like I said, when I was really small, I thought Superman actually existed, and then, as I grew older, I began having crush on him "wow, is he handsome or what!" ( ahem... don't blame me! ) :D And then after that terrible accident, it was so painful to see him on that wheel chair. And then he died... Sigh.... I live just few minutes away from that Walk of Fame, so I walk over his star almost every day. And this is just my opinion, so don't kill me, guys. I think they should stop making Superman movies. That role BELONGS to Chris. I did go to see Superman Returns, and I thought Brandon did OK, but he looked way too young to be Superman. Yeah, I grew up with Superman. FASTER THAN THE SPEEDING BULLET!!!!!!
Lol yes he is handsome , i too im liking this part of him very charming indeed. It was sad he became disabled but he turned into a becon of hope and inspiration to others the more he became powerful. Thats cool your so close to his walk of fame =) That role does belong to Christoper for sure he rocked it, i think man of steel sucks so much lol Brandon looks so much like him tho. Im obsessed with Superman IV the quest for peace right now, he is sooo cute.
It's amazing how, now, in 2024 as a 33 year old man, I only see Superman when i watch this. I love Henry Cavill, and Brandon Routh did fine interpretations of the character, but Christopher embodied superman, he was superman and will always be superman. I had tears watching this video. Very moving. Rest in peace, Chris ❤
Me too brother, me too. This man was, is and forever will be Superman for me. The man with the cape, the man on the chair, doesn't matter.. Rest in peace Christopher.
Seeing Robin Williams tear up at 0:17 has to be the most heart-wrenching thing ever...shows how truly close they were! Both such incredible men...reunited...R.I.P Reeve and Williams 😢
It is so overwhelming to see such outstanding actors as Nicolas Cage, Jim Carrey, Tom Hanks, John Travolta, Meryl Strep, Brad Pitt... To give this kind of respect and admiration for the man who was truly a superhero and fighted until the end with all his power and showed the world that superheroes truly existed. Christopher Reeve brought happiness, admiration , respect, kindness and courage to everyone. Seeing Gwyneth Paltrow this emotional it's such an explainment of everything the amazing Chris Reeve achieved, and he will always stay in our hearts and in humanity. Rest In Peace and Long Live to the most unique, talented and strong man the world has ever seen. The one and only, Christopher Reeve, truly a Superman.💕😭💟👼🏻👏🏻
Christopher Reeve had shown courage when he came to the 68th Annual Academy Awards in 1996 months after he had an accident that damaged his spinal chord. The ovation he got that night was super.
i once participated in a live chat with him, i told him that he should run for president, he thanked me for the flattering remarks and that he may look at that, i think. He is now resting in peace.
At awards shows… there’s ovations that everyone does because it’s just what you do at certain moments. Almost as if there’s one of those old fashioned applause signs telling you to clap. Then there’s this.. a genuine and sincere outpouring of love for this man. You can tell these people respected and had love for him. The most sincere and genuine outpouring of emotion I’ve ever seen at a Hollywood award ceremony
Chris es el verdadero alma de superman, él vive en el alma del verdadero superman. Ojalá Tom Welling o Henry se den cuenta que tienen ese alma en su interior y si no son ellos, el que la tenga podrá volar..
This was kept a secret the entire event, all the way up to the last hour. Reeve barely made the trip due to having to fly over and coping with the stress of the flight, lodging and preparation. But he insisted on going through and the producers treated it like the President of the United States was making a spontaneous visit. Nobody with the exception of three or four people knew Reeve was going to be there, and none of them said a word. Nobody in the audience knew he would be presenting.
This made me cry...that was one of my childhood heroes....I will never forget the day I met him.I will always cherish that.sum angels do cum to the earth
RFgamer the cgi was so good it looked like he was wearing it tbh BUT Christopher Reeve literally looks and acts like Superman he IS the most accurate comic book version of Superman arguably better than the comics.
Wesley Snipes the one and only Blade Michael Keaton the one and only Batman Brandon Lee The one and only The Crow and Bruce Lee the one and only fist of fury 😏👍👍👍👍🐇
Chris, I remember you not just as a great hero in the movies, but in real life. You brought dignity and thoughts to the world in the years following your tragic death. You are not Superman, you are a vulnerable but strong human being who won't even let his injury get in the way of teaching people the lessons they need. I think you would be happy to hear me say such praises to a man who had such a sadly short career. RIP Mr. Reeve, I'm sure that you will still be talked about even in the years following.
Even after that painful incident reevs was able to survive for a long time due to his will ,he really has some kryptonian genes inside him . disabled people see reevs as a true symbol of hope
Never mind the man in the cape, the man in the chair was the real Superman.
Amen x

a couple notable crowd expressions to appreciate in context:

0:47 - Marsha Garces Williams(left side of the screen) - Robin Williams' wife and a close friend of Reeve; Reeve credited Robin with giving him the will to live again by visiting after his accident.
Nic Cage did get his Superman moment in the new Flash movie.
Thank you for your comment.
0:47 I think the camera was really focused on Winona Ryder (a hot young star at the time) and Marcia Garces Williams just happened to be standing next to her.
Don't forget Kevin Spacey, who would play Lex Luthor.

wait whats emotional? u said hes superman and he said no hes an actor? am i missing something?
Looks at all those familiar faces in the audience. They got to be there and give this legend that applause.. amazing.
Yeah most of them are a bit younger and later on, Kelly (John’s wife) dies in 2020 😔
That was 1:11 seconds of straight applause, the amount of respect that man has, he is and always will be forever in my heart, SUPERMAN!

Seeing Robin Williams tear up at 0:17 has to be the most heart-wrenching thing ever...shows how truly close they were! Both such incredible men...reunited...R.I.P Reeve and Williams 😢
Word is Robin Williams was supposed to be Christopher Reeves college roommate but instead he was roommates with Kelsey Grammer and Danny DeVito
Yea I don't think he's tearing up
I dont see him
@@MuchoGottscho far left corner
Officer Shredd Behind Tarantino - really at the 18 sec Mark
Whenever I need to ugly cry, I come here and watch this.
Me to.... My friend, me to
Why would you need to cry
Damn right!
Nunca te vamos a olvidar Christopher Reeve el leyendario Superman de los 70s
Superman's alter ego was not Clark Kent. But Christopher Reeve.
It is so overwhelming to see such outstanding actors as Nicolas Cage, Jim Carrey, Tom Hanks, John Travolta, Meryl Strep, Brad Pitt... To give this kind of respect and admiration for the man who was truly a superhero and fighted until the end with all his power and showed the world that superheroes truly existed. Christopher Reeve brought happiness, admiration , respect, kindness and courage to everyone. Seeing Gwyneth Paltrow this emotional it's such an explainment of everything the amazing Chris Reeve achieved, and he will always stay in our hearts and in humanity. Rest In Peace and Long Live to the most unique, talented and strong man the world has ever seen. The one and only, Christopher Reeve, truly a Superman.💕😭💟👼🏻👏🏻
Do you mind putting a timestamp on where Meryl Streep was. I am blind and I couldnt find her

Cage is not a good actor
The Longest clap ever in the history in Oscar one minute and 11 secs!!
The longest was for Chaplin
Charlie Chaplin had the longest standing ovation in Academy Awards history of 12 minutes.
Remember when South Park made fun of him
Liam's dear how do you get your statistics??? Or you just like to overdramatize??
WoW!
everytime single time i watch this video i cry, he made us belive that the man can fly, rest in peace.
What a beautiful man in and out.
Christopher Reeve had shown courage when he came to the 68th Annual Academy Awards in 1996 months after he had an accident that damaged his spinal chord. The ovation he got that night was super.
i once participated in a live chat with him, i told him that he should run for president, he thanked me for the flattering remarks and that he may look at that, i think. He is now resting in peace.
Christopher Reeve, even deceased, would still make a better President than whom the idiots of this nation elected.
"But there is one man here on Earth, who will never kneel before you..." True words to define Christopher Reeve himself. What a standing ovation.
This man was absolutely gorgeous in every way. Just love his spirit
Peter Pan has joined Supeman in the sky...R.I.P
That's a beautiful thing to say. And a even beautiful thought.
Mortelious suicide is a bad thing and he is not in the sky trust me
sumone sumone he didn’t commit suicide
huh?????
@@yodaiam6996 his wife probably assisted suicided him
He truly was Superman. His heart, strength and drive for good was stronger than any human on this planet.
Who is here after eminem made a song about him
Me😂
That song is actually from 2004, but he decided not to release it cause Christopher reeve died. He explains this in Guilty Conscience 2
At awards shows… there’s ovations that everyone does because it’s just what you do at certain moments. Almost as if there’s one of those old fashioned applause signs telling you to clap. Then there’s this.. a genuine and sincere outpouring of love for this man. You can tell these people respected and had love for him. The most sincere and genuine outpouring of emotion I’ve ever seen at a Hollywood award ceremony
Brandon Routh, Henry Cavill both are very good Superman.
But Christopher Reeve is Superman even outside the screen
I like this guy but idont like super man cuz superman has super strength that's why justice league so boring.
I’m pretty sure even Brandon and Henry would agree with you
Chris es el verdadero alma de superman, él vive en el alma del verdadero superman.
Ojalá Tom Welling o Henry se den cuenta que tienen ese alma en su interior y si no son ellos, el que la tenga podrá volar..
Same as every other superman lol
Brandon Routh and Henry Cavill are amazing as Superman.
But they'll never be *the* Superman.
This was kept a secret the entire event, all the way up to the last hour. Reeve barely made the trip due to having to fly over and coping with the stress of the flight, lodging and preparation. But he insisted on going through and the producers treated it like the President of the United States was making a spontaneous visit. Nobody with the exception of three or four people knew Reeve was going to be there, and none of them said a word. Nobody in the audience knew he would be presenting.
That is amazing!
he was so handsome and brave! I love to see all the celebrities amazed and moved by his presence .
You can see Nicholas Cage’s deepened eyes when he sees his true hero superman. Rip to a legend
Wow the absolute awe in Jim Carrey’s eyes
I'm seven seconds into this and I had to pause because I was crying. He's so beautiful, what a wonderful and courageous man.
This made me cry...that was one of my childhood heroes....I will never forget the day I met him.I will always cherish that.sum angels do cum to the earth
He was so beautiful inside and out.
Tobey Maguire: Spider-Man
Wolverine: Hugh Jackman
Iron Man: Robert Downey Jr
Christopher Reeve: The one and only Superman.
Let me tatoo your comment, Sir
Ricky Sword Lol thanks bro
RFgamer the cgi was so good it looked like he was wearing it tbh BUT Christopher Reeve literally looks and acts like Superman he IS the most accurate comic book version of Superman arguably better than the comics.
Wesley Snipes the one and only Blade Michael Keaton the one and only Batman Brandon Lee The one and only The Crow and Bruce Lee the one and only fist of fury 😏👍👍👍👍🐇
Michael Keaton: Batman
He was still always beautiful. RIP lovely man.
YES!
The 90s was clearly the 2nd golden era of Hollywood because of all those stars in one place which we all know still and appreciate now.
À brave, handsome, generous and talented man who deserve a standing ovation.
Even in a wheel chair, he was the one and only true Man of Steel
A gracious and courageous man to the very end.
Of course he was; he's Superman, after all.
Thats what I've heard too. He got more humble after his accident. Anyways god knows better. May his soul rest in peace.
Peteto Chibs Please don't describe yourself.
I beg of you.
Peteto Chibs Oh,
The irony.
Peteto Chibs Because you have absolutely no evidence to berate and attack this great man.
Do the christopher reeves
Everyone there in person that night was extremely lucky and truly blessed to be in the presence of The Real Life Superman that night 💚
Chris, I remember you not just as a great hero in the movies, but in real life. You brought dignity and thoughts to the world in the years following your tragic death. You are not Superman, you are a vulnerable but strong human being who won't even let his injury get in the way of teaching people the lessons they need. I think you would be happy to hear me say such praises to a man who had such a sadly short career. RIP Mr. Reeve, I'm sure that you will still be talked about even in the years following.
Even after that painful incident reevs was able to survive for a long time due to his will ,he really has some kryptonian genes inside him . disabled people see reevs as a true symbol of hope
Eminem sent me here 😂
Yea he's been doin that since like 2012 I think when he was doin freestyles on Tim Westwood , cool to see the actual guy he was always referencing
“Any one of us can get hurt at any moment...”💔😭R.I.P. Christopher Reeve💜
