What I find HILARIOUS, and also well deserved, is the fact that Betty, Bea and Rue were all nominated for best lead actress in 86, 87, and 88, and they won one time each!!
It was a damn good show. I watched it every night before going to bed. Which in retrospect, might have been a little odd for a teenage boy. But I regret nothing.
@@chaoscrysay8236 lead vs. supporting acting is decided by how many words you speak and how much screen time you have. It didn't seem like it, but Estelle was not eligible for lead because she had less lines than the others.
Estelle Getty was the only one of Betty White's co-stars that looked genuinely happy for her - lol. Maybe because they weren't in competition w/each other
Sophia was supposed to be a minor character, because of Estelle's great talent, she became a larger character than originally planned. I don't think categorizing her as a supporting actor was in any way demeaning to her contribution to the show.
@@ThePhanttasm Excuse me don't descriminate Estelle. She didn't even know she had lewy body until the 2000's. Don't be rude to Estelle's legacy. She was a great actress and she deserved that emmy.
Estelle Getty was deserving of a nomination, too. Those five nominees plus Estelle far eclipse most of the future winners since that year, 34 years ago!
@2025 great episode " but we're heads, we're heads!" 😂😂 it was so touching when her daughter finally realized how much Blanche, Dorothy and Sophia loved Rose💓💓💓💓
The fact that she was surprised she won shows how much she appreciates and respects all the talented actors in the room. What a humble and beautiful human being she was ❤
David Hyde Pierce from Frasier was the same way every time! He was nominated all 11 years and won four and he acted as if he was absolutely shocked anybody would choose him. Such humility is extremely rare anywhere but especially in Hollywood.
According to Rue, Betty was flabbergasted by the Golden Girls ratings and popularity. While Rue thought it was well-deserved, Betty didn't think she would be so fortunate as to have another hit after Mary Tyler Moore.
She was so appealing to everyone because she's so eloquent and wholesome, gets a little cheeky, then goes back to wholesome. I love that she made it a point to let everyone know that it wasn't _her_ award but it was _their_ award. I miss her so much ❤️
I freakin shed tears. Rip to the greatest tv shows ever.. 2019 tv is literally trash. Thank goodness for classic tv. I miss Mel’s place. One day at a time. Oh the list goes on..
I just love how she acknowledges her cast mates like there is really no I in team. She is the best. Rose is my favorite. Last standing golden girl. She had a heart of gold fr.
I’m so sad that you’re not with us here anymore, but I can only imagine the celebration going on in Heaven now that the Golden Girls are all together again. RIP Betty. 🌹
Both Betty and Bea were powerful forces like fire and water. Both were beautiful but with different life forces. Personally, I think it fitting Betty won the first Emmy. After all, Bea already had her own Emmy from Maude.
Well, this is how it turned out. Both were great in their roles and they both won when they were meant to win. Personally, I liked the way Bea had evolved throughout the show.
Betty said in her book that she felt awkward after winning the first Emmy, and that Estelle was the only cast member to congratulate her and make a fuss of her afterwards. You can tell from this video that Estelle was genuinely pleased, whereas Bea and Rue both look like they’re smiling through gritted teeth.
Been watching s01 right now and it's just a mix of sadness cos all 4 sweet ladies are gone now, and happiness as all 4 are just a huge riot to watch. They will forever be remembered with a smile.
She's just the most lovable and that's why she won first. Rue is next most lovable, and she won second. Bea won third but they are all equally talented.
COSBY and GOLDEN GIRLS were both mega hit sitcoms, often in the top ten in the ratings. In fact, COSBY was bigger, since it was the #1 show for 5 straight years.
i like to watch videos Whoa! Who did Phylicia Rashād rape? I don’t think you should belittle her work based on her costar. I can’t believe this needs to be stated. 😳
I hope at some point they all won an award for the show. Because each of those four women is deserving. To this day GG's remains to be one of my favourite shows ever. It's perfectly cast and excuse the pun, but it never gets old.
That's because every decade the world deteriorates and so do people. There is no more moderation, filter or modesty. Its bunch of selfish, self centered, butthurt bastards with loud mics.
By class you mean Kirstie Alley the cocaine addict? Phylicia Rashad the Cosby defender? David Lettermen the adulterer? Which recent Best Actress in a comedy winner do think has no class?
@@kevinwilson3609 yup. Even with everything you just mentioned those stars were stars. Entertainers of today do not deserve to be part of that elite club. Today's entertainers don't know how to behave in public. Completely uncouth.
What a year for tv entertainment. All these actresses had amazing stories thst year. Any one of them winning we wouldnt have blamed them. Some years idk how the voters can choose.
"We're a match set, you can't split us up." What a beautiful way to put it.
Agree. A matched set is unbeatable! 😘
And all four of them won Emmys in this category, Estelle Getty I believe won hers two years later.
@@antmagor Estelle is also the only of the four to win a Golden Globe for the show.

Who would want to? Thank goodness for tapes and DVD's, they will always be together.

Holy cow, what a category that year.
I know! All three classic shows (Golden Girls, Cheers, Cosby Show) and characters (Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, Diane Chambers, Clair Huxtable)..
that was a SUPER heavy weight group of brilliant comedians. Hard to choose from the five. All great in their craft.
Estelle Getty was deserving of a nomination, too.
Those five nominees plus Estelle far eclipse most of the future winners since that year, 34 years ago!

GeographyProf -Estelle was placed in a supporting category and won in 1988.
Her speech was quite humble and to the point. Perfect acceptance speech. Golden Girls is great.
What is interesting the "Golden Girls Show" never gets old - it is still one of the funniest shows ever!
@@angelacarleton9575 100% agreed. It never gets old. And that is fascinating to me.
The Golden Girls and Cheers STILL hold up today. That's what great writing and great acting do.

So does Cosby show, despite his personal life

Anytime I see Betty White, all I can hear is, "Back in St. Olaf..." Lol
😂😂😂 so true
“4 old broa- uh ladies” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
She was so beautiful, inside and out. Thank you for almost a century of laughs and smiles Betty!
"We're a match set..." Along with her nearly choking up multiple times. True class and humility. Both are mostly lost in today's performers.
We're a match set you can't split us up, how profound that is now. Rest in Peace Betty💔
Betty White is definitely “the” class act. Forever!
“Oh Ruesie, Bea.” ❤️ The first words out of her mouth are honoring the two she was up against. Class act.
RIP Betty. Thanks for entertaining us for so many years ❤️. Now you and the rest of The Golden Girls can have cheesecake in heaven ❤️
RIP
Nothing stings more than the news of Betty White's passing today December 31, 2021!
I know I felt I'd lost a dear friend...... and I member of my family.
She looked STUNNING, GLAMOROUS & is wearing my favorite color...
Is it pink or purple ?
Imagine she was pretty old even back here and to imagine that she lived another 35 years is just amazing! What a life!
I think she was 64. 1 year from retirement age in the US.
One of the best acceptance speeches, felt genuine because it was.
That Phylicia Rashad clip was amazing
As much as I love Betty and Rose I would have given the Emmy to Phylicia just based off of the clips. You didn't mess with Claire Huxtable!
Yea! She did that! It reminded me of when she went of on Vanessa when she snuck out to see, The Ratchet. Or, was it The Retchet? lol
spongebob03 The Wretched.
Phylicia should have won at least one Emmy during her years playing Clair Huxtable. She was amazing in that role.
MsTexas73 RIGHT! Damn modern day slang! I couldn’t stop thinking ratchet! 😂
Phylicia Rashad never won an Emmy for her work on that show. That's a shame.
I freakin shed tears.
Rip to the greatest tv shows ever..
2019 tv is literally trash.
Thank goodness for classic tv.
I miss Mel’s place.
One day at a time.
Oh the list goes on..
Well damn I shed a tear to
What a beautiful soul
She is so beautiful, gorgeous woman! An amazing person she is also a wonderful actress!
I love how each year when one of them won they had such respect for the other ladies.
RIP Ms. White. Tell the "Girls" hello for us.
Betty is in heaven now with the girls.
Betty deserved that Emmy. Her reel was for "In Rose's Bed" it was endearing and hilarious.
Betty was so pretty 🌹 Very talented too of course ❤ Thank God above that we have this show forever ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Every time each Classy Lady won, they ALL stated how they are a group
That's Class for each one
Such a refreshing Soul. Thank you for still gracing our Screens. We love you Dear Sister.
Just look at all these fabulous actresses! Television really was super back in the 80s. Such great programming.
Wow! What an incredible line up of nominees. All equally deserving. Love them all!
Love you Betty. Talent and class
The first girl to win! Wonderful!
And the only 1 still standing
Always so humble.
I just love how she acknowledges her cast mates like there is really no I in team. She is the best. Rose is my favorite. Last standing golden girl. She had a heart of gold fr.
