Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau presenting Warren Beatty with the Oscar® for Directing "Reds" at the 54th Academy Awards® in 1982. Introduced by Johnny Carson.
Him speaking on a podium with people applauding, the internationale in the background and Miss Keeton smiling at him from among the crowds is something we've seen before!
RIP Walter Matthau (October 1, 1920 - July 1, 2000), aged 79 RIP Jack Lemmon (February 8, 1925 - June 27, 2001), aged 76 RIP Johnny Carson (October 23, 1925 - January 23, 2005), aged 79 You will be remembered as legends.
"Reds" is one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen. Beatty is really a genius and should have won also Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay, at least.

Happy 80th Birthday Warren Beatty. Hopefully this and not the 2017 ceremony will be the Oscar moment you are more associated with in the history books.
Easily one of the best Oscar acceptance speeches, short, witty, and elegant. He should have won Best Pticture that year as well. Reds was truly a landmark film, still vastly under appreciated today. I also like the look on Diane Keaton, so genuine. Too bad their romance did not last, they were a great pair.
I will never forget this night ! I have been rooting for Warren ever since his 1st nomination for '"Bonnie & Clyde "as Actor & Producer as well in 1967. Through the years hoping & praying I would see him win . The moment he won I screamed at the top of my lungs .My Mother saying "Thank God "& my Dad calling from Miami to tell me how happy he was for me, & how impressed he was with his acceptance speech. Let me also say Jack & Walter had never been more hilarious. This brings back so many cherished memories.
I , for one, believe you. Any lie here would certainly be more detailed and more epic. Those calling you a liar represent the more spiteful among us, and are those whose numbers have grown far too great in the recent years since you post here.
I was only a year old, and tonight I am going to see this movie on big screen. I came here to see Warren Beatty and in addition, I get to see "boyish" Spielberg and young Nicholson. Wow!
The movie, 3 hours, 15 minutes, plus intermission, was worth watching. The onscreen chemistry between Warren Beatty and Diane Keaton is one of the best I have seen (comes close enough to Robert and Liza in NYNY).
@Diego Pisfil It is certainly the one that has stood the test of time and turned into a must see classic. Many new generations will enjoy it and the others will not be so much remembered. Raiders is close to the perfect film and I am not even the biggest Spielberg fan. Just showed it to my 4 teenagers in year 2020 and they loved it. Too bad the Academy makes political choices instead of choices based upon real merit.
Test of time... REDS.....?.. hahaha...not a bad film! But if any It’s been Chariots of Fire the one that has survived quite well, but REDS???...not at all!
@@57yearoldjamesbond It isn't and that is the point. It was a safe choice and REDS was not. REDS was the political film and the Academy acted politically (they always do) in making a safer choice.
Beatty was pretty sure he was going to be going back up again shortly afterwards to pick up the award for best picture so wanted to be close. But, he was wrong.
BlowOut was DePalma's film that year. 1981. 1983 was Scarface. It's interesting that DePalma was part of the New Hollywood of the late 60's 70's...and out of all Spielberg, Scorsese, Coppola, Lucas, Ashby et al..he remains the one with not one Oscar nod.
'Reds' is not a perfect movie, but it is an extremely ambitious movie in American movie history. This was Warren Beatty's only Oscar (he missed out for Bonnie and Clyde in 1967, which he acted in and produced, but didn't direct). Spielberg would later win Oscars for 'Schindler's List' and 'Saving Private Ryan'. Thanks so much for posting this clip, I've been looking for it for years! :)
All those outstanding films nominated that year. It's fun to be reminded of the wealth of top of the heap films that used to be produced. Doesn't happen anymore.
*... "We have all of these directors with us tonight."* Sublime! 🤣👌🏼🤣👌🏼🤣👌🏼🤣👌🏼🤣 FYI: Warren Beatty's Oscar was so wrmm deserved... Such a hilarious, talented, intelligent, attractive man! Still hasn't lost his charme. 😁
Reds, très grand film, très grand sujet qui n a pas vieilli... Tres grands acteurs, reconstitution historique de haut niveau...film produit essentiellement par un grand studio américain sur le communisme et le socialisme americain des années 1910 à 1920. 🤣😆😜
Es uno de los Directores favoritos y muy buen Actor. Reds es una de las mejores películas que he visto, muy potente e inteligentemente escrita y dirigida.
what's the name of the song while jack lemmon and walter matthau are appearing? It was at the end of a tv movie, but I do non remember which one maybe colombo?
Spielberg deserved it but Reds is nearly as great as Raiders, they both had obstacles to overcome with the voters (Raiders being a genre film and Reds' content), Spielberg deservedly won twice later, I can see why Beatty won (Oscar loves rewarding actors who multitask) and he gave a fantastic speech.
Warren Beatty is great as actor, director, writter and producer. Legend is a small word for all he is. "Reds" is one of best movies made in all times. A real masterpiece! The Academy made one of its biggest mistakes when Reds didn´t win Best Picture - and more 3 or 4 awards. Only Beatty, Stapletoon and Storaros´s cinematography? It´s a real shame!
On Golden Pond was given the two lead acting awards without reason. Henry Fonda had got an honorary Oscar the previous year and Katharine Hepburn three acting awards already. I do not like Beatty as a person but he should have won best picture and maybe the movie another acting award plus perhaps more technical awards.
Jack Nicholson wearing sunglasses is a timeless mood
Cocaine
Attention seeking and arrogant if u ask me.
Cool dude
@@MPresheva😐
Only Jack can get away with wearing sunglasses at the Oscars! 😎
This is classic!!!! Man Lemmon and Matthau. doesn't get any better than this!!!

Hard to "long live" when they've been dead for over 20 years.
There was a ton of class on the stage for that presentation.
The man was handsome, smart and not afraid to speak his mind.
And he spoke so eloquently. One day I hope I can be as gracious as Mister Beatty.
Hands-down the best introduction for an Oscar ever. Thank you, the Odd Couple. ^_^
"Reds" is one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen.

haha, no.
Reds is propaganda. Technically, a good film but it's message is grotesque.
Its long omg its so long

Jack and Walter were great together!!!! I just love it when they presented together!!!!! RIP Jack and Walter!!!!!
“I know I do one thing well I get good people.” Wow, what a lovely sentiment.
Probably the only time that a variation of The International will play at the Oscars.
_"We have ALL of these directors here tonight!"_ 😆
Now THAT, present day film industry, is how you present an Oscar. 👌🏻
Haha! To hear The Internationale played at the Oscar's is surreal!
Seriously that was so damn cool! Especially given it was the Reagan era!
Solidarity!

Gotta love Beatty's hair.😘😘❤❤
I can't believe Warren is 10 years older than Spielberg! look how young he looked that night!

That's a hell of a memory. I just saw "Reds" four years ago. The movie was released the year I was born.
Travlis Hallingquest it would be funny he presented the award and read the wrong one.
+MikeJ 2016 STFU!
I remember that night. I worked backstage at the awards and I rode the elevator with Warren Beatty and Diane Keaton.
REALLY???? that's cool!!!!!!!!
VERY.
😎!!!
I banged Diane backstage!!

Such a treat to see Matthau and Lemon together. So brilliant.
Look how young everybody was. Crazy. I wasn't even born until 9 years later but still. Classic.

+Spicy Boy Check out the music video for "Goonies" by Cyndi Lauper, Spielberg is at the end of the clip, and boy does he look young.
Duvall is one of those actors who, if I'm flicking through the channels on the tv and see him, whatever it is, whether ive seen or not, i watch it.
Always wish he won an award for acting, but this isn't half bad :)
Just watched a screening of REDS at the Museum of Moving Image. Well-deserved, and should've won for Best Picture as well!

@@richarddecredico6098 Oh, okay.
He always was a charmer,so cute and a little shy.
One of few years where all of the best picture and director nominees matched.
Man, you can tell Keaton adored Warren.
What a great year - I would have been happy with any of those directors winning.
Warren Beatty insists on going back to his seat after winning. Epic! No one would dare to do so today.
Beatty was pretty sure he was going to be going back up again shortly afterwards to pick up the award for best picture so wanted to be close. But, he was wrong.
Reds is a movie I must see at least once every five years. A great epic of an interesting period in time.
Its one of my all time favourites
what a handsome man...
Epic presenters! And a classy speech by Mr. Beatty! Well deserved award.
Brilliant piece of comedy from these great actors
So many years later now, in 2018, I find that the actor who has made the greatest contribution to the improvement for humanity is Warren Beattie,
The list of best directors that year! Each one fabulous and worth of winning. Compare to now!
Jack & Walter ...classic duo 👱♂️👨
Beatty winning over Spielberg, I like that!
@Melanie Jarrett Melanie agree fit
Raiders is a better film than Reds. Nobody watches or remembers Reds any more
@@commanderkeen3787 true lies
@@commanderkeen3787 I watched it again just recently. It's a classic romance.
THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD! hope Warren's Thalberg award speech is on the queue! again thanks for the upload! :)
I do love these two guys. :-) Uncle Jack and Uncle Walter. Miss you heaps. xxxx
Damn he was gorgeous. Lucky Diane.
LMAO at Mr. Lemmon and Matthau!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Geniuses who have died!!!! R.I.P!!!!!!!!!!! ;(;(;(;(;(;(
Lemmon and Matthau.......two of the giants of entertainment.......thank you both.
B& C overshadows everything
Man, the nominees read like a who's who of directors! What a star studded field!
Diane Keaton looks so in love with him at the end!
He wanted Julie Christie to star with him in Reds. Probably was still in love with her too

Greatest film ever made. Reds. Nothing comes close.
Good speech
I think it should of won best picture aswell
this man was dreamy and smart and talented... hecko heck.
Two legend's.....
Jack and Walter were so dryly hysterical.
Brian De Palma should have been among the nominees that year, had the Academy had any balls
Agree !!
Exactlly scarface was classic I.cant explain.

D un point de vue de mise en scène, Reds est une œuvre incroyable de justesse et de précision historique... C est très bien écrit et mis en scene💪👌👌👍
I love these two :)
Talent and class.

Beattie was an intellectual.
What a speech!
Young Steven!!

It was competition
He’d never say those things about freedom of expression in 2021!
Warren Beatty must have been a huge Annie Hall fan. Dating Diane Keaton and nerdy Woody Allen glasses.
Best Allen film
This was a ballsy ass win considering the subject topic. Especially for the time.
the amazing thing is... those were cold war times
Diane Keaton has had a wonderful life… Warren Beatty is beautiful
True
People before I born was so classy❤️
I still can't believe they didn't give it to Scorsese for what I think it's his BEST film!
That's 1981 buddy. This is 1982.
God bless jack and walter.sadly missed x
Live and respect him

Well prepared speech.
ya, she once said Beatty was one of her faves-- as she put it, "Warren was gorgeous."
Grand moment, l Internationale jouee aux Oscars😁😆
Es uno de los Directores favoritos y muy buen Actor.
Reds es una de las mejores películas que he visto, muy potente e inteligentemente escrita y dirigida.
Why do I remember that speech being longer and being interrupted just at that point?
Not to mention Spielberg got another one in 1998 for Saving Private Ryan, another win that was well deserved.
conoces un link para verla en castellano?
Y'all were saying Beatty deserved this, as though Raiders of the Lost Ark isn't one of the greatest films of all time.
That didn't win either. For Best Picture that is.
I have a gut feeling that Warren saw some action with Diane in the after-hours party they attended that night.
He made a good point his speech
Its a great movie and a even better lie
But he made a point in his speech
Hey Mr Wilson!!!
what's the name of the song while jack lemmon and walter matthau are appearing? It was at the end of a tv movie, but I do non remember which one maybe colombo?

Louis Malle for Atlantic city or Warren Beatty FOR Reds...hmm.That must have been the most difficult decision ever taken.
RIP Mark Rydell and Louis Malle.
Read William Bradford’s journal on the pilgrims. It tells of the 1st try of socialism which failed, moving to capitalism to survive.
WELL DESERVED AND IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE. GREATEST MOVIE I EVER SAW
Das waren auch zwei coole Socken.
Wait a second, he was supposed to head backstage with the presenters of the award, not back to his seat, lol
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU, @Tigerlily21
An American recognition.
Walter just described some directors I hate:
0:59 Roman Polanski
1:05 Nick Cassavetes
1:16 Harmony Korine
1:25 Sam Levinson
"You have to know how to hold on"
steven spielberg raiders of the lost ark indiana jones!!!! c'mon!!!
that third statement is impossible because woody allen has only appeared at an oscar ceremony once, and that was in '02 :)
