I can't believe how beautiful she is in real life. The make-up team deserved an oscar for Monster too!
+GracefulDanny Didn't they get one? I may be wrong, but I think they did.
I know this is old, but I think it's worth pointing out that most of her appearance in the film wasn't makeup. She actually shaved her eyebrows and gained 30 pounds. The only thing prosthetic wise that she had on was her teeth.
@@ozybeastias8893 And she also ruined, and dried out her real hair for the movie role. DEDICATION!!
@@ozybeastias8893 Wow. Impressive.
@@ozybeastias8893 they also made her skin look worn down too, it's in the featurette they did on DVD.
This is inspiring. She grew up in an abusive household and her mum eventually killed her dad in self-defence, but look how far she's come. She isn't even American, which makes it a lot harder to "make it". Such a well deserved award.
Samantha Morton had an even rougher life. Her landing acting gigs basically saved her.
@@Starkardur We’re talking about Charlize. So idk why you brought up some other random person
Amazing back story.
Samantha Morton isn't just a random person she was one of the nominees 👍☺
She’s a great actress but you saying “she isn’t even American which makes it harder for her to make it” is BS. She’s not oppressed. No one would know that she’s from South Africa unless she vocalizes it. She is a blonde haired white woman.
The way she thanks her mother is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
Second only to you 😭😭😭
@@mihnma thanks ♡
Я третья после тебя 🥹👏🏿
When she said "my mom" you FEEL the love. It's a beautiful moment.🥲
This is one of the greatest performances in cinema history. With all due respect to the other nominees, no one else really had a chance.
Which is a shame. I really like Naomi.
@@michelrodrigues5686 same
Nah, Naomi was terrific
I totally agree with you. The other nominees should have not even showed up .Charlize Theron is the best actress of all time and her performance in monster is the greatest acting of all time !
Naomi was terrific but this was one of the best female performances of all time. She was basically guaranteed the award.
If she didn't win an Oscar for this role it would have been a crime , well deserved Oscar - One of the best performances of all time!
Neil Tomlinson It would be a crime to not award her the Oscar for playing a criminal. If she lost, she would've become Aileen Wuornos once more, committing more crimes.
@@jeremybarker5510 bwahahahahah 😂 😂
She looks just like her to the teee
Just like charlize theron for monster in 2004. Everyone knew that jamie foxx was going to win the best actor oscar for ray a year later in 2005
Settle down McNugget it was good but not Daniel day Lewis iconic acting
there's Heath Ledger sitting next to Naomi Watts :'(
+LadyStarkgaryen Yep. Really miss that actor and wonderful man.
hope hes in heaven
hes role as joker was unforgetable
+Ahmed Elaraby I forgot it... :V
well, i didn't have to search too long for this comment. when i saw him i almost spilled my drink
Still miss him so much
As a South African myself, I remember this day vividly. I think every single one of us was glued to the screen in antcipation of her winning and when she did the country was flooded with pride. Amazing what a single person can do for their country. I remember the week after when she arrived at Cape Town International with the Oscar and was greeted by the legendary Nelson Mandela, our then president of South Africa, as she got off the plane. Man what a moment in time.
What was the time back then?
Roger Ebert called this one of the greatest performances in the history of cinema. A true honor. She was fantastic.
Amazing
That's lovely.
So proud 🇿🇦
Her mom and her went through so much when Charlize was a girl. Her father was abusive and violent and her mother shot him in self defense. Such an emotional speech.
One of the most well-deserved Oscars in history
Yes!
I would give you a like but my ocd won’t allow fucking with 222 🙈
Comment like this exists in every oscar
@@quicksilver3593 but this one is true. Stand the test of time, still one of the most well deserved Oscar for acting.
@@quicksilver3593 but this one is true. Stand the test of time, still one of the most well deserved Oscar for acting.
What most people don't know about Charlize is that as a kid she watched her mom (sitting next to her) shoot her dad to death right in front of her in self defense. What a sight to see when you're a young girl.
Woah.
shihlin1 jeez. I didn’t know that
Like Aileen. Thanks to her for providing the self-defense story that made CT's oscar possible.
could you supply a proof of that story?
@@lizimoodyspecter7281 She said it in some interviews, I think one of those was with Oprah.
I covered a few of the Wuornos court hearings when I was a news reporter. She was absolutely terrifying in person. I honestly couldn't believe how much Charlize embodied her. She is an incredible artist.
How was Wuornosin real life? Not empathy at all ?
Charlize's performance is one of the best of all time.
It literally is. Roger Ebert acknowledged as much.
Did anyone else tear up when her voice cracked at the end while thanking her mum
mine did.
NO!
yeah...I did
Who the fuck cares?
YES!
Whenever I see "Moster" I always think: "It can't be Charlize Theron, it must be a special effect or something !"
AN Feuerstahl same haha
They had some prosthetics on her face for that movie
Though so,it can't be just her without make-up
She's an incredible actress!
@@patrickpatrick44 Hahahaha omg that comment made my day XD cant stop laughing
Charlize Theron is one of the best Actresses in the world
What yo
for me, her performance in this is right up there with meryl streep in sophie’s choice as one of the all-time greats. there were so many times while watching monster that I would forget I was watching an actor and I would just see aileen. so incredible.
Meryl is definitely number 1.
Yea in his review Roger Ebert said this is one of the greatest performances in the history of cinema.
@@michelrodrigues5686I think this is even better than Streep in Sophie's Choice. I know Meryl Streep is the cliche answer, but I thought Jessica Lange in Frances deserved to beat her the year she won anyway. Charlize Theron in Monster is the greatest female performance I've ever seen.
According to me, Charlize was better than Meryl in Sophie’s Choice. What sold me was the way Charlize flicked the lighter in the one bar scene, and how she broke down when she farewelled her partner at the bus station - legendary. That was just two of the many things Charlize captivated me on when watching Monster. In my opinion, it’s one of the best acting performances in the 20/21 century from a a female performer.
@@missdee4927 Yeah Miss Lange is a GOAT
I started crying when she mentioned her mom. Best decerved Oscar of all times.
+Delmy Lissette Hernandez Vargas I beat you to it - *I* started when I saw her mom's reaction to her being named the winner! Given their "back-story," they must have a uniquely close relationship.
me too, it was so emotional
Sorry, it's your life, but i'm just really want to help. All of sm, jyp, yg, big hit's artist are illuminati. Please, save your soul and stop listening to them. Yes, this is serious.
God bless you and please, be happy!
Lisa Kick Me I'm crying actually
Me too
Just realized how awkward Adrien Brody's breath spray joke would've been if Keisha Castle-Hughes won HAHAHA
same here
true 😂😂
+cinemil Tell me I don't get it. I never saw her movie or was she underage?
She was only 12-13 back then.
cinemil
Hoho very awkward. Lol.
She was absolutely *PHENOMENAL* as Aileen Wuornos! It’s as if she took on a completely different personality and persona. I still can’t believe it was her in there! It’s as if a completely different woman played her! ❤️
Can we also say that she is the best dressed Oscar winner, I mean she was gorgeous that night!
this has to be one of best performance ever by an actress...
Agree and Kathy Bates in MISERY
hilary in boys don't cry, natalie in black swan
My personal favorite is Naomi Watts in "The Impossible"
Also Miss Marion Cotillard in La Vie en Rose
Dont forget meryl streep in spohies choice
«And my mom...» damn that killed me.
Great job
I always start crying whenever the winners mention Mom
Charlize Theron rocks talent, beauty, and intelligence. What a great and versatile career she made!
Plus she has a great and no bs personality. She was so down go earth when staying at the resort I worked at. Even though she understably did want her privacy from other the guests on her holiday, she was always happy to take pictures or have a chat with the staff. She was humble and respectful. Left tips at the end of her stay with a list of names of the staff that they were for and remembered each one of them. Love her!
After watching
the movie "Monster",
I became a fan of Charlize Theron.
why she is not getting standing ovation ? she completely has nailed it, and completely swept aLL AWARDS THIS YEAR
Because it was another year of a young hot woman winning
@@heaintloveu I don't get it. She was clearly perfect on her delivery.
Paradise Lost ok?
@@heaintloveu I don't get the "young hot woman" stuff
Yes she is one, but... Is it a thing? That plp think? Plp thought that about her?
Paradise Lost it was a thing at the time, yes
This had to be one of the most deserved Oscars in history. She was incredible in Monster. AMAAAAZZZZING!
Her speech was so heartfelt, especially when she made reference to her mom. My eyes teared up.
Hello
@@charlizetheron7205 Hello to you too!
One of the best performance ever to be shot on film, PERIOD!!!!!! She killed it!! Absolutely incredible!!! What a gem performance!!!! Never have I agreed so much for Oscar! She deserved this so much!
I totally agree with you. Charlize Theron is the best actress of all time and her role in " monster" is the best acting 🎭 of all time
Wow her voice when she went ''and my mooom'' cute!
She deserves this award. .her performance in that movie was legendary
yes
One of the most beautiful woman in the world, and a great actress.
Yes i m agree she is one of the most beautiful Woman in the world with Naomi Campbell and Monica Bellucci they are perfect Woman
@@Angelboy839 Monica Belluci. Perfect
@@cindyinnew yes she is a wonderful Woman but Naomi Campbell for me is better Beauty is Subjective
Adrien Brody, amazing!!! His sense of humor is phenomenal.. and besides, he's a brilliant actor!
He was so moving in The Pianist.
@Péter Baranyi, imagine if Keisha Castle-Hughes (age 13) had it won... :D
@@AngelPecica He'd still be going in for that kiss, watch his standing ovation of Polanski
She kissed him!!!
One of the most intense acting performances ever committed to the silver screen
+Jeff Grubstein Agreed; this, and Halle Berry's in (just realized the coincidence) Monster's Ball.
Marion Cotillard
Hilary swank in boys don’t cry as well
alex arambula brilliant performance from Hilary in boys don’t cry (1999) I cried at that film. Love Charlize’s and Hilary’s work.
Yes sir!!!
Her acting performance in Monster was incredible. She absolutely deserved this Oscar!!
This movie well-deserved an Oscar, and her performance in it was everything.
The transformation was unbelievable, matched with an equally incredible performance.
UGH my heart broke when I saw who Naomi was sitting next to...RIP
Yes...I thought he was...
RIP?
yes, besides the fact that also Naomi Watts gave the best female -multi faceted and heart breaking- actor performance that year, albeit all five were amazing -Diane Keaton-hilarious, Samantha Morton -so understated and sublime, Charlize Theron incredible transformation and Keisha Castle Hughes, so passionate
Alfred Soosai Heath Ledger
it was an unintentional drug overdose of prescription medication
Heath Ledger got to me :(((
الله يغفر ليه
This is the first time an award acceptance speech makes me cry, after I learned so many things about Chalize's past, how hard she must have worked from a troubled background, speaking no english, and no systematic acting training. I thought about the very first few characters she created early in her film career, and I can see she is talented and born to be a fine actor
Just finished watching Monster for the first time. After hearing Charlize's back story with her mom killing her dad in self defense, I now understand why her crying scenes seemed so real. I'll bet she was reaching into that pain and the crying was real. Best performance I've ever seen...
The nominees were:
Charlize Theron - Monster
and
Four women who practiced saying "it's an honor being nominated" for months
Never more true. Did they even have to have four other nominees? Nothing was going to come close to beating Theron's remarkable performance.
+Love Animals - just for the sake of tradition lol...although Watts was stellar as well tbh!!
I doubt the other nominees even prepared their acceptance speeches
Diane Keaton's performance was semi horrible in Something Gotta Give.. i even don't know how the film made it to nominations.
Y’all need to watch 21 Grams and start giving some respect to Naomi Watts. I don’t wanna hear no disrespect that performance was perfect just not as perfect as Charlize in Monster.
This is like the best deserved Oscar ever. Charlize portraying as Aileen was so utterly perfect, that you would think it was Aileen herself in the movie (lol)
honestly her work in monster was extraordinary, one of the most well deserved oscar!
Also, can we just appreciate how thoughtful of Theron it was to name drop every single producer on this film, the production company, her make-up man, her leading lady, the director - absolutely everyone. Sometimes actors get so caught up in themselves and continue to thank their families and what not, but Charlize did it right. Her performance was one for the ages, but it takes a village to put that on screen. Pure class-act.
I just saw her movie The monster.....My god. I have never been convinced by a performance like Charlize's. She is unbelievable in this movie. Definitely one of the best performances in the history of cinema.
she's so damn beautiful.
she looked like a 50's Hollywood Movie Star.
I cry Every time someone thanks their parents. especially their moms.
0:58 Heath ledger🥺
I've never seen anything like it and I doubt that I ever will again. 20 years later and I still get tears in my eyes for her and for Aileen.
she was right about christina ricci, she should have also been nominated for best supporting actress for monster
Hello
I don't understand how she didn't get nominated
WTF? why can't the audience even give her a standing ovation that she deserved for her incredible embodiment of aileen wuornos?
I agree, but Charlize swept that year's Award Season - deservedly so - so she was very expected to win. Maybe it was that.
shut up
@@masterwindu1234 eh, f off! I
@@hadbetterdays She didn't win The Bafta.
People are dumb as fuck. They don't get that people give standing ovation to actors who have great a great perfermance after leading a great career. Theron was almost unknown at this time. Monster made her an A-list
One of the greatest performances in the history of cinema.
She transformed herself in Monster. Incredible performance.
and I'm watching this in 2016 wtf haha # still so proud to be South African because of this moment
I just watched the movie and the entire time I was thinking to myself, "there's no way this is Charlize Theron". Well deserved, she's also earned my respect as an actress.
If there was ever an oscar that was deserving, this was it. Her complete and utter transformation to Wuornos both physically and mentally was astounding to witness! I wish that in her speech, she'd have said something about Aileen as well though instead of just listing a huge list of names. Not to give "thanks" of course, but to point out what a brutal life Aileen had and that she was honored to tell her story or something like that.
Her boyfriend at the time looks like he could be a Leto brother.
That’s Stuart Townsend.
"and I'm not gonna cry" I was already crying like a baby 😭 totally deserved Oscar for this amazing performance.
She's with Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep and Monica Belucci my favourite actress on earth. She's so talented and amazingly beautiful
+Anthony Capelouto and all of them are witches..
+YoYo32071 Beautiful, talented and sexy witches ;)
+Ke Vin EVIL ASS Witches :)
@Prince Doppelganger stay mad BITCH 😜
Ok. Jennifer is ok. But plz she's not part of the queen's
She really deserved to win. What a performance!
She is so worthy of this award. An incredible actress and what a gorgeous and down to earth woman as well.
prettiest and most humble person ever
One of the greatest performances on film from the past decade. It's hard to believe that that was Charlize, because she just encases you in the performance and achieving the portrayal. Still amazed by that acting lesson 11 years later.
Please- its not about being pretty. It's about achieving character. Any actor can do that- as long as they are committed to doing that.
outinsider pp l
As a South African I couldn’t be more proud of her. I cry every time I watch this
She's incredible.
I was so happy for Charlize when she won. She gave an amazing performance in Monster. She looks so beautiful at The Oscars. Her acceptance speech is touching.
Hello
God bless you Charlize, you are royalty, you are a cinema queen, I love you in Mad Max.
natagaima I come here after mad max, she is incredible
LOVED her in Mad Max, too. Great actress!
Just watched this movie, absolutely fantastic performance by Charlize she was totally transformed.
10 out of 10.
On something Hillary Swank in "Boys Don't Cry", Charlize Theron in "Monster" and Jodie Foster in "The Accused" are very similar,because all three films are about rape, but all three are very powerful films.
Her special reference to her mom was really heart warming! It was really tough of her to save a teenage Charlize Theron from her drunkard father on that dreaded night when he had almost killed Theron ! She had the guts to shoot her husband that night because she knew that was the only way to save both their lives! I really really admire her mom! Brave woman!!
She deserved this Oscar so much. When I saw the movie Monster it was after I had seen all the documentaries about Aileen so I knew how she sounded and what she looked like. It's almost as if her spirit jumped out of the grave and took over Charlize's body to do the part. The way she could widen her eye balls where you see the white all the way around. I mean that was just amazing. I heard that in prep to play the part she had to put on 45 pounds. So she gorged on milkshakes and pizza and all kinds of yummy but terrible for you foods.....of course she has a personal trainer who helped her take it all back off again. She looked amazing on the stage.
Taylor Allen John Anstrom. My sentiments exactly. You can tell she really prepared for this role, and her talent is undeniable. But yeah, you have to see the Wurnos documentary to truly understand how flawlessly Theron portrayed her.
Will Smith, behind Charlize, was just getting warmed up for his moment
EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE BEEN STANDING! HER PERFORMANCE IS ICONIC
I just watched monster a few minutes ago and I just want to Say that she won that Oscar all with his talent, amazing act! unbelieveble one of the best actrees ever
Theron was masterful in "Monster" ... one of the most memorable performances of all time.
I totally agree.
I like her even more for speaking about Christina !
What a wonderful lady. Heartfelt words. Nothing embarrassing or anything. Charlie being herself. Your performance in Monster was remarkable.
I lost it when she thanked her mother. It was very touching.
Top 5 best actress of 2000 -2017
5. Nathalie Portman (Black Swan)
4. Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine)
3. Brie Larson (Room)
2. Marion Cottilard (La Vie En Rose)
1. Charlize Theron (Monster)
agree with the top 2. my no.3 is natalie portman in black swan tho
Mills J and Meryl Streep in The iron Lady ,never ever forget that performance 😉
Monster, I love this movie.
Nicole Kidman (The Hours)
Mills J yep
She won the award for Monster! Aileen would be proud. Charlize Theron did a amazing job on her.
*you know what? Í will be proud for Aileen / i´ve yet to hear it out of MY m0thers mouth, but it´ll come...today i´ve officially become a m0nster even Aileen couldn´t have been_*
Aileen wouldn't of even watched it.
I just watched "Monster", I always liked Charlize since the first time I saw her acting skills. I don't know why I've never seen this movie. I came here after watching "BOMBSHELL" and thought Oh Lord, this lady has been transformed twice in such unrecognizable characters, first Aileen then Megyn Kelly. So I decided to watch Monster... I am totally blown away. She was born for this.
Her speech for winning the Oscar melted my heart, you can see how grateful she was and when she started thanking her mom, I could feel her words throughout the screen. I drop a tear as well. So emotional.
True, Charlize had considerable help from superb makeup artists to aid in her preparation, but without that brave, feral, committed performance behind it, let's "face" it... it would have been just makeup.
Right!
Maybe she gained weight in that movie and was not having a shower.
TheChannel.TV “feral” what a perfect word for that performance.
Yes.
She literally transfigured herself in Ailee in Monster, if it wasn't about her discipline, preparation and talent, just would be a movie where we see a Charlize with extra pounds and prosthetics.
this super hot woman played aileen wuornos? really?
so who? kathy bates?
Yes and the transformation was startling.
I forgot it was Charlize Theron I was watching as she disappeared into this person.
it was so amazing she was incredible
She even gained like 20 pounds for the role because Aileen wasn't in the best shape at all.
Ganadora indiscutible aquel año, una de las mjores actuaciones de todos los tiempos
Watched it countless times, got to find it again some where online to watch it again
Jennifer Connelly should have been nominated for her phenomenal acting in "House of Sand and Fog".
I think Nicole Kidman deserved an Oscar nomination for "Cold Mountain" too
I love Connelly's work in that movie too -- it's unforgettable. But to me, it seemed like her performance didn't really fit well in Best Actress OR Best Supporting Actress. It's strange. Her screen time in House (again, to me) seems too short to be in Best Actress... yet is maybe too long and packs too much of a punch to be in Supporting. Nonetheless, you're right. She was superb. And it would have been nice to see her nominated in one or the other.
Not Kidman but Jennifer Connelly should have been nominated for sure.
@@loveanimals6981 “yet is maybe too long and packs too much punch for supporting” haha these days the academy don’t care how much your screen time is in a film. Look at Mahershala Ali in Greenbook - literally a leading role. It also works vice versa. Olivia Colman should have been a supporting for The Favourite.
The reaction to her win from the audience is all what's wrong with Hollywood, they give hootings, cheers and standing ovation to ridiculous wins like Julia Roberts, Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence, Sandra Bullock but refuse to even applaud with diligence for brilliant wins like Brie Larson, Jodie Foster, Charlize Theron and Allison Janney
and Marion Cotillard...
VERY TRUE.
What the fuck are you talking about?
It was painful to watch what happen to the distant audience, but Charlize deserves a standing ovation!
Ur comment was so pathetic lmao chill out
So well deserved! Her transformation and acting was most incredible! ❤️❤️❤️
The greatest performance, I have ever seen in my life, a close second is Hillary Swank in Boys Don"t Cry
One of my favorite female performances. She was amazing, she almost scared me. But I don't know why people say that this was a weak competition - what about Naomi Watts? I think she was also incredible.
so dramatic, so beautiful, and honestly so deserving she was brilliant
Well deserved! 👏
🌹💙 This has to be the most moving Oscar acceptance speech I’ve ever seen: I’m so happy for you Charlize-you’re so awesome!
I hope Charlize Theron gets nominated again for her performance in Mad Max: Fury Road.
She didn't get it 😭😭😭😭😭
+Matt Montada true but Mad Max totally cleaned up and deserved it :)
+Alberto Arras Fun to watch but not exactly an actor's movie.
She did an AMAZING performance as Furiosa (for an action film of course, it's not a classic drama role), say what you want but Mad Max should have won best film.
***** I have an issue with the Academy, and it's that most times they prefer classic tradicional story telling than innovative experimental pop-culture films, they take cinema too literal (with some periodic exceptions). Sure there were great nominees for best picture, but Mad Max is an epic film and it will be remembered as one of the best films of our time.
FURIOUSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cyber6sapien HAHAHAHHAHA, but she forgot her mechanic hand
+cyber6sapien No surprise if she's nominated for an Oscar this year for that role.
+Goncas RC It would be ridiculous if they didn't.
+Goncas RC You kidding me? That movie was stupid.
+MDkid1 okay
Am in love with her look here 2019 and it’s still 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💕💕💕
I usually don't care about these award shows, but she was absolutely amazing in this movie!!! She completely deserves this. She is so humble, as well.
"They are looking for hope."
"What about you?"
"Redemption."
her mom looked so proud I remember watching this live and crying for her, her turn in monster was phenomenal one of the most well deserved oscars ever 😭💖👏👏👏👏
Such a lovely woman.
I think this is one of the times when winning the oscar was just the only option. Her performance was beyond flawless. It reminds me of Natalie Portman's black swan. The transformation is so complete that is just impossible to compete.
