I just adore how he honored his wife, Alma Reville. He honored everything she was... film editor, script writer, mother, chef, and his beloved wife. That's love.
Hitchcock may have been ignored by those who give awards, but he has the one reward that can't be taken away: A Reputation. Hitchcock has the ultimate reputation as a film director. He was one of the few people who showed the rest how it was done. Hitchcock always made his films "for the audience". He was very careful not to show off or be self-indulgent, the goal was always to be sure the audience was entertained.
+RickTBL So this is one of Hitch's many legacies: the relativism of '(Academy) awards'. One has reason to ask: if the grand master of moviemaking did not get any, then what are Oscars worth? Tell me which award-winning directors would *not* acknowledge the greatness and influence of Sir Alfred Hitchcock? Unwillingly, Hitch taught us that 'Academy Awards' are nothing but a fad, a smoke, a mirage, a fashionable and volatile necessity of the industry. (Unless you've won one, of course :-)
+Michael Couzijin This quote from Sidney Lumet (Who ironically never won an Oscar or AFI Life Achievement) is very important: [on being asked "Does it still rankle not to have won an Oscar?"] “Sure, and anyone who says it doesn't matter is talking bullshit. Of course it matters! First of all, the difference between winning and losing can be $3 or $4 million on your next fee. So let's start with that. And maybe this is a very subjective reaction, but it seems to me that I've always lost to crap.”
His speed of speech is EXACTLY like he talked his whole life - very deliberate and methodical, whether he was reading it or not and I doubt he had to read it but perhaps he opted to to be sure he didn't leave anything out.
That very loooooong standing ovation at the end shows the deep love & affection & respect he earned in the film industry. he was a man with a VERY rye wit. and, of course, a genius at his craft. no doubt of it.
The greatest director of all time. A genius creator with such a lot of unforgettable masterpieces in his amazing filmography. R. I. P. Hitch and thank you for your uncomparable legacy.
It is one of the most interesting speeches I’ve ever heard from a man of this age. A man like him doesn’t need any award to be recognised. Their work speaks far louder then the awards. His every work is a master piece! May lord bless his soul with peace in heaven!
For those constantly labelling Hitchcock a misogynist, I present to you this footage, in which a dying genius tells the world that it was half Alma's, in a most delicate, beautiful way.
Great man. A shame that he didn't get any oscars for his wonderful films. And you intelligent people who are only able to talk about his teeth here - achieve something yourself! or just stay in your tiny basement and spare us your thoughts.
his films are his big award witch r entertainment for comn man nd receivs their lov in return no award cn compet allah bless him nice place in heavn aameen
Hitchcock will never be forgotten for his innovative style of suspense movies, as well as alfred hitchcock presents...most episodes are on youtube. Kinda stodgy but lovable! Thank you alfred!! :-)
Dear god, that was amazing. I got chills at the end... He wasn't just master of suspense, he was the king of cinema, died a year after. Thank god he got at least a bit of recognition and respect which he definitely deserved, as the greatest director of all time.
***** The Oscars ignored Hitchcock, but history won't, it can't. If a person wants to direct film, they should begin by studying Hitchcock, until they understand how he did what he did.
RickTBL we’ll be talking about Hitchcock forever, look, it’s been 4 years since you made this comment and we are still talking about him. I couldn’t name you 1 actors that won an academy award 4-5 years ago
Did he care about shit like this? I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't. He seemed to use this platform to the benefit of his wife, not himself. I truly don't understand why people care about awards and whatnot. They're completely meaningless and completely subjective. They're just adverts.
Seeing this brought me to tears, seeing how weak and fragile he was, he hardly could stand up. But how he talked, that impeccable diction of his, his vocalizacion... Shame on the Academy for never giving him an Oscar, despite of being nominated five times.
Probably one of the most watched of these AFI tributes. I remember the night it was broadcast and how we all talked about it next day at school. I was already on my way to studying everything Hitchcock and was beaming with info.
The class. The cunning wit. The masterful talent in the director's chair. All this and more is what Hitchcock was and always will be to those that feel the palpable power of his legacy. No, he didn't get an Oscar, but let us be frank: I think Hitch would always find it to be a much greater honor to be recognized for a lifetime of work instead of just a singular film, applauded with great adoration by all those that were with him loyally along the way. THAT is the true mark of a legend. RIP Hitch
A true genius. No wonder I can watch any of his movies and tv shows over and over and never tire of the 'entertainment' What a brilliant man with such a talent and sense of humor.
what a DISGRACE that he got never awarded an Oscar SHAME ON THEM This man has laid the groundwork of everything that has been achieved in film, in the register of suspense, thriller, horror etc etc he got copied and is a patent holder RIP, Hitch... you remain a pillar of the 7th art ♡♡♡
I find it very interesting that he has never won an oscar for some of the finest work every created by an artist in my opinion where some of his films get even stronger and more powerful as the decades go by. Yet never recieved an oscar yet some of his peers who have lot of accolades during his time , most of us don't even know of or think that these films are even in the same ilk. Makes you realise that the highest accolade you can ask for as an aritist is those given to you by a worldwide audience, not other directors and ones in the industry who have the power of the vote.
For being physically unwell at the time; Hitch's mind is as sharp as ever! We will never to be able to replace or rejuvenate the 'Golden Age' of movies and television. It's also nice to hear humourous speeches rather than having to be so desperate for dialogue as to have to mention another persons' latest 'rehab' stint or worse.. Thanks for uploading all the AFI A award footage. A real treasure to watch & enjoy! Cheers:)
I'm 23yrs old since August, and my all time dream was to ever reach the recognizion of these amazing movie Directors such as Spielberg, Cameron and Hitchcock, but now I have seen how my dream has drifted away of inconvenient decisions on my part....i graduated as a Mechatronic Engineer and now I'm studying a Masters Degree on Strategic Administration......but sadly and unfortunatelly it isn't my passion, and it hurts my inner child who's always admired people like this amazing person.
He gave me back hope when I was a depressed 25 yo. Now I`m 61 and my life is better than ever. Hitch helpe me back then with "Rear window". When I was totally down it brought a light into my soul. I could sense that there is a world full of Magic... For a few months and even now at times I moved/move in the decent yet powerful way Raymond Burr did ...
He absolutely deserved this award and many more! It is also clear that many if not most people didn't get his humor and were only there to be "seen". If you actually listen to him, he is very funny!
Recommend "The Dark side of Genius" The life of Alfred Hitchcock "as a great biography.He is having trouble getting up and failing health. The American Film Institute had asked him for help and he had resisted for some time before accepting this award of which he was the seventh recipient.he resisted as he was not highly respected in his time within the Industry and out.I think he gave them kindness back for years of being snubbed. Afterwards he sank in health and drank heavy feeling alone.RiP
This was great! I was in 9th grade when this was going on & had never seen it! Thanks for this great video clip! Loved the others as well with Cary Grant & Jimmy Stewart! ♥️
This was a great speech! Sad that he died only a year later, but glad he lived to receive this!! For Everyone saying he Never won an Academy Award (Oscar) for his films, YES he DID! REBECCA won first Best Film, although he didn't win for Best Director. It's ridiculous that None of his other films didn't win..The Birds, Psycho, etc., but he won this AFI Award, which is better than all the rest!
for myself being now 60 i grew up watching hitch's films, my personal favorite was the birds, i was still quite young at the time and recall having fears of flocks of birds for ages after seeing it. but it served its purpose that my parents wanted and got me from watching horror movies till i was a lot older. ive seen most if not all hitch's films and loved everyone of them.
I love how at the end he seems to hesitate, and then suddenly just jumps up to give a wave to everybody. Almost like he was saying "Well, I am awfully old...Ahh To heck with that" Jumps up and waves. Great director, awesome sense of humor
so many oscar winning directors never make it on to any of various lists of best 100 movies of all time , hitchcock usually has three or four , which would prefer ? .
you could tell his time was almost up when this was made, but even as the end drew near Alfred faced the final curtian with the same with and grace he had his entire life. R.I.P Mr. Hitchcock may your name be remembered with the greats like wes craven, George Romero and stanley kubrick.
It was a pleasure to watch this after seeing the "Hitchcock" movie - which I thought was a lot of fun. There was nothing insincere about Mrs. H's reactions to her husband's speech in this clip. That's more important than whatever stories have circulated through the years about Hitchcock. People don't stay married for 53 years without trust and respect and yes, love. Smiles or no smiles, it's clear these two were deeply and permanently in love. I'm a hopeless romantic, but that's what I believe.
The funniest thing about this whole speech was when the tv camera turns round and shows Christopher Reeve at 5:28. You can see him looking visibly angry thay the speech is taking so long!
One of my faves of his is ROPE. I have watched it like 10 times in my life. I JUST love it and PSYCHO of course....well all were great and his tv show I remember watching the reruns as a kid.
He deserved best director Oscar for (at least) Notorious in 1947, Rear Window in 1955, Vertigo in 1959 and Psycho in 1961. And probably many more. One of the best directors that ever was, in the purest sense of what a movie director is. He never got an Oscar for any of his movies....
I just adore how he honored his wife, Alma Reville. He honored everything she was... film editor, script writer, mother, chef, and his beloved wife. That's love.
He also cheated on her. Real love
He was impotent
Er, no - they did have a daughter together. She was in a number of Hitch's films
Daniel Mumby He did joke that he was so fat, that they had to conceive their daughter with a fountain pen
Yeah I guess he honoured her by always wanted to fuck his leading actresses huh.
To call Hitchcock a "master of suspense" is to underestimate his legacy. He was a master of the film medium, regardless of the genre.
Truth.
He still had a sense of humor in his late years.
I think that was just a year before he died..
Hitchcock was very Humor man....., All the great actors...Rest in peace ❤❤
I cried when he says "I share this award, as I have my life, with her (his wife, Alma)"

He doesn't smile but you can tell he appreciates it on a deeper level than smiling could show.
Respect and Love from India. The Greatest
This great man will never be matched.

I hardly recognised him.

For the record it is "wry wit".
Hitchcock might have moved slowly, but his mind was fast as a lightning bolt,
What a legend!!!
One of the 3 greatest directors ever. Psycho and Vertigo are two of the very best films ever made. What a genius... rip and thanks Alfred!
Azku Shang who are the other two?
Kubrick(was a great admirer of Alfred) and Kurosawa in my opinion. But there are some more not far.

So well-spoken. A real pleasure to listen to.
And I heard Cary Grant laugh in the background at one point. He had a very unique laugh.
Aww his dear Alma is crying. And I love how they show Hitchcock's most famous megafan, Francois Truffaut, in the audience.

A genius creator with such a lot of unforgettable masterpieces in his amazing filmography.
R. I. P. Hitch and thank you for your uncomparable legacy.
multiple viewings of his films and you never get tired of them!!!!! absolutely perfect....

He wasn't but he made Tippie's life a hell not the other actresses. He and Alma had an awesome relationship
Hollywood was systemically misogynist, wether you mentioned your wife in acceptance speeches or not.
I mean, he was dismissive of women, that's for sure.
Raul A. Pinto He was never “dismissive” of Alma or Grace Kelly or Eve Marie Saint or Ingrid Bergman.
Are you familiar with what he did to Tippi Hedren?
Great man. A shame that he didn't get any oscars for his wonderful films. And you intelligent people who are only able to talk about his teeth here - achieve something yourself! or just stay in your tiny basement and spare us your thoughts.
He didn't need an Oscar to be recognized by the public...

Alfred is one of my favourite Directors, I’ve seen many of his movies that he’s made and they’ve all been great.
I remember watching this when it aired . I’ll always remember him telling us to stay out of jail!
My brother Michael watched Hitchcock's movies over and over again and whenever I hear the Hitchcock themes I think of my beloved brother Michael.
Unmistakable presence in film and television. There has never been a character or genius like this.

They way the Oscars are now, it's become a bit tarnished with the behavior of some of its members and too political instead of the art itself.
I love this man & don't know why. What a gentleman & magnificent artist he was, for me he always is.
i am always get so emotional watching alfred hitchcocks movies 😍😍and this one ,him,accepting the award gave me serious chills

His film Rebecca won the Best Film Oscar, yet he didn't win for Best Director. THIS AFI Award beats them all!!
I find it very interesting that anyone gives a fuck about the oscars.
This is so touching. A marvelous man.
He will forever be a legend!... Such a wonderful director! 👏🎥
