lotta controversy about the elia kazan award but nothing about how Deniro wearing David Lynch's scalp?
bahahahahah
Or '80s Joe Strummer'!
I think it is his haricut from playing Fearless Leader in The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle
Bwhahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahshshshshshshshshshshshhshshshshshshshahshshahshsjshshshsh
@Juan Perez lol
Deniro looks like Phineas and Ferb
Jajaja!!
Sad that this is the top comment
@@zachsalvatore5175 glad that this is the top comment.
Really!
Jajaja
These two are so unimportant
the nervousness of both de niro and scorcese is so tellling...
Not comfortable honoring people who aren't like Polanski and Weinstein.
Scorsese is devout Catholic and has strong feelings about forgiveness. He was a huge fan of Kazan's films and a personal friend, even made a fond documentary (A Letter to Elia)
it's obvious why they would be nervous during this tense moment (live boos edited out), not to mention just being on stage at oscars on live-tv. And it seems relatively safe to assume he didn't expect Elia to ask him to come foreword
@@isaiah5217 Exactly. Everyone deserves grace and forgiveness.
@@willwalker6894 It's clear they're political differences and interpretations of history aren't going to be reconciled after all these years. Regardless of the legitimacy of any grievances, Kazan is not going to offer reparation/apology, at least publicly. The Academy makes the choice of the honor as well as selects attendees, who have the right to applaud as well as show disdain. And the point of the Oscars is to celebrate something that predates and will outlast the bitterness. are one gratifying thing about the Arts is they can cross borders, language barriers, and bridge cultural and political divides, often bringing together people and let them relate some aspect of each other's common humanity even when they may not otherwise have found common ground.
DeNiro taking that Taxi Driver role pretty serious here
Such a total lack of respect is appalling. That is, the lack of respect Deniro’s barber showed for his head.
lmfao
omg lol
zing! pow!
He was filming Rocky and Bullwinkle at that time
😂😂😂😅😅😂😂😂😅😅😂😂😂
I just realised the reason why De Niro's hair looks strange, he was still filming as "Fearless Leader" in Rocky and Bullwinkle
THAT IS HORRIBLE AND DISGUSTING, THE OSCARS SHOULD BE ASHAMED!!!
I am of course talking about Deniro's hair
It was for a movie
Seems its the only haircut if you want to be in a movie with two of the greatest icons of the 20th Century. Said Icons wouldn't have it any other way....I guess that's just what Rock and Bullwinkle are like, typical snooty attitudes lol :-D
😂😂😂😂😂
"De Niro’s weird pinhead cut is for his gig as Fearless Leader in Universal’s movie version of The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle."
He is from the set of the adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle.
And yet...this is the same audience that hollered and gave Roman Polanski a standing ovation. Hollywood is a strange place.
What did this guy do actually
@@jameslong7128 ohh, thanks....... By the way he is one of the greatest directors ever
Polanski isn't a two-face backstabbing snitch like Elia Kazan. He was forgiven (an even defended against his critics) by his victim.
In all fairness, he did make a great movie.
@@jameslong7128 You’re a fucking idiot, and a complete self centered narcissist. Guy snitched on all of his friends to save his own hide, and ruined their lives. Fuck you.
I remember very clearly watching this at the time and being absolutely shocked that I heard someone being booed for the first time at the Oscars. What's astonishing to me is that Oscars on their official youtube page have altered the sound I heard that night. Let it be known that this man, though, a great director, was booed on his entrance and exit to the stage this night. I will never forget it.
😭😭
He was booed, all right. If I had been there I would have doused him with an egg.
of course he was one of greatest director. but booing is nothing if one of your loved ones' life got destroyed by mccarthy. can't really blame Kazan since it is possible he was threatned by mccarthy to report or lose career
I remember seeing this live and didn’t understand why some ppl were not standing. I didn’t know that he was an informer.
DW Griffith was a great director too. The man redefined cinematic narrative with a single work of Jim Crow propaganda. Yet, should we in the present day be handing him awards? Hell, at least Griffith's infamy was normal for its time. Kazan's betrayal was controversial even in the 1950s, and he aided and abetted one of the greatest violations of freedom of association in the history of the United States!
"What if I were at the peak of my success and was suddenly asked to give other names of colleagues to the government? And what if I knew that doing so would preserve my career but could only damage those of the colleagues I named? When I think about this I can't be positive that I wouldn't buckle. I'm just not that sure of my courage. But I am sure of one thing. If I did name names, then watch those I named be ruined while I prospered, I would never live down the shame.
And if somebody tried to give me an award for my career contribution, I'd be too embarrassed to accept it."
Paraphrased from Writer John Powers
Because of his involvement in the Hollywood blacklist, dozens of actors, directors and screenwriters were denied work in the US and were given no choice but to depart for Europe. It did upset a lot of people.
And now Hollywood blacklists anyone who's right of Stalin.
up yours
I often wonder how the modern version of that will end, the cancel culture of today based on ideology seems to be in a similar mold.
@@Darling137 they were "canceled" back then for being what you probably call "woke". The real solution is the end of Hollywood altogether. No club of people hoarding resources to make and distribute films.
Because they were commie traitors
Not all heroes wear capes, sometimes they’re just Nick Nolte and Ed Harris ✨
They looked about as pissed off as a person can be.
Garbage people, Harris and Nolte.

Sean Penn walked out of the auditorium.
@@jonathancooper4914can't blame him his dad was blacklisted
Some people protested his win because of his involvement during the Hollywood blacklisting in the 1940s and 1950s. That's pretty much my knowledge of it.
I love how timid Spielberg's applause was... you could tell he did not want to be there.
Spielberg, Polanski, Weinstein, etc. love communism. It's in their blood.
Given the controversy, I can see why he was uneasy.
Kazan was a big influence for Spielberg
He was still visibly upset
No one here knows anything
Sitting, angry and not clapping:

He put Beatty in his first film ever Splendor in the grass
Karl Malden had to stand up because two of his greatest performances have come under Kazan

For a second I thought that was Bradley Cooper at 2:01 lol
When John Huston was given the same threats, he chose to leave the States. Did his career die? No it didn't. He was able to adapt, and continue film making elsewhere. And Huston had gone out of his way to oppose HUAC prior to his departure, so he could arguably have been seen as a much greater threat than Kazan. So yeah, there were other options available. That's why nobody protested when Huston was given an AFI Lifetime Achievement Award.
Well Huston is less brave and resilient then Kazan. Seriously ask your self which choice is more brave, more forthright, honest, and characteristic of a stronger person of high integrity?
@@matthewjoseph7679 Elia Kazan contributed to the system which ruined his colleagues' lives. All to save his own skin. There's nothing brave about that. Huston refused to play the game and actually left the country in protest. Who was really standing up for their beliefs? Who was really sacrificing something to protect people who did not deserve to be persecuted?
@@matthewjoseph7679 Probably Arthur Millers testimony and many others who refused to name any names.
@@Lamporre His colleagues had NO problem ruining people's lives in their own struggle sessions, violent riots, blatant defamation and more. They all deserved FAR worse than HUAC's slap on the wrist.
@@Lamporre You may disagree as to if HUAC was good or bad, however to say Kazan did it to save his own skin is a lie outright. He has said it numerous times, he didn't do it out of fear, he did it because it was right and he maintained this position even when it was practically suicide to do so. Kazan never once backtracked and said it was to save his own skin, he simply did it because he thought it was right.
He made an entire movie about this subject. There's really no excuse to lie about him like that.
As a side note, many of his Colleagues were members of the CPUSA with him having been a member at one point in time. I encourage you to go read the history, we all nowadays acknowledge the CPUSA was funded by the USSR, this is backed by our documents and theirs.
Like it or not, Elia Kazan wasn't afraid of the government, he simply saw what was going on.
Jesus, even many who were standing did not look happy lol. One of if not the most tense/awkward award presentation that I've seen.
It got people talking, which is what the Oscars always set out to do.
Most awkward standing ovation ever!

@@markelijio6012 Well, the audience at the 1999 Oscar ceremony was completely DIVIDED in their response to Elia Kazan getting an Honorary Lifetime Achievement Oscar for his work. But Kazan had also completely FAILED in NOT apologizing for his role in snitching before the House Un-American Activities Committee in the 1950's. The man was a pathetic guy who should have been a little more wise by apologizing to those whom he RATTED OUT back then.
Many people are not clapping, and for good reason. You don't see the people whose lives Kazan ruined.
Boo hoo. Fucking commies.
They were commos who had come to the USA and were busy usurping the country that gave them opportunity

With that haircut, i'm expecting De Niro to ask Scorsese if he fancies a cheeky Nandos.
De Niro was ahead of his time for sure. Look at the men’s haircut trends of today.
"The Cinema is first and foremost about art and certainly not politics". Exactly, which is why it was wrong of Kazan to have done what he did.

Nope.

Lol I feel bad for Jim Carrey sitting next to Ed Harris and Amy Madigan. I respect their convictions but they are scary! I bet during the whole intro Jim was like "Uh oh...do I sit, do I stand? Probably shouldn't stand...should I clap? I do like his movies...will they hurt me?" He went with the polite applause. I hope he was okay.
+Dylan Burgess Harris can't possibly defend himself in a fight. That's why the big pussy didn't serve at the height of the Vietnam War. Even many conscientious objectors still performed alternative service. His wife Amy looks she has explosive diarrhea. Carrey should have acted like a man and stood to applaud. Instead, he cowered before those two sourfaced bottom feeders.
+Cory Bangerter It's a joke mate, but I appreciate the thoughts.
+Cory Bangerter Why did he have to serve in Vietnam war? Why did anybody have to serve in Vietnam war?
Lots of people disagreed with Vietnam and still served in the military. Two of my maternal uncles served as Navy corpsman in forward operating bases staffed by Marines. Such people performed first aid and evacuated wounded all while they were under fire. Like some corpsmen, they didn't even carry sidearms. While affluent protesters cowardly (along with some notable chicken hawks) stayed at home protected by student and bullshit medical deferments, people like my uncles put their lives on the line to preserve the lives of many injured who didn't want to be there any more than they did.
It should be noted that thousands of Americans with serious reservations towards military action faced the consequences of their beliefs with bravery and maturity. Some served prison time, some performed alternative service on farms and in hospitals. Others served in active military forces as chaplain assistants and combat medics. I have nothing but respect for such people. I have nothing but condemnation for those who fled to Canada or "fortunate sons" whose parents used their positions to keep them from out of the armed forces or facing the legal consequences of their beliefs.
If you disagreed with the war & still served in the military, then you should have served your country instead and protested.
One of the most shameful moments in the history of the Academy. He betrayed his colleagues and helped silence some of the most creative voices in America.
They were commies, much like your pal Obama, and as such, they deserved to be silenced. You let these commies (elitists) prosper in a capitalistic country and you see what happens. They turn the country into a leftist, pathetic, government hellhole.
+Randolph Paige Do people really use the word commie anymore? Nixon went to China and today it is one of our most significant trading partners. Americans vacation in Vietnam and will soon be able to do so in Cuba. When did you first realize that the United States is not a capitalist country anymore. Was it when Social Security (Social = socialism) was enacted in the 1930s? Medicare enacted in the 1960s? Or when the US bailed out Wall Street after the collapse of 2008?
+Randolph Paige lol if you think even half of the people harmed by the blacklist were actually communist sympathizers. Actors were making crap up about other actors to push them out of roles.
+steven franklin ...You're nuts if you think USA is not a capitalist system. Yes, I know your ilk is at work very hard to turn this country into something it was never intended, but it is still capitalistic with some socialist safety nets. As for China, it's a top-down, government controlled Marxist country that's trying to hold on to power any which way it can, even if that means employing certain capitalistic reforms. Sorry to inform you, but even the Soviet Union was capitalistic, oh yes, except that Marxists think that only a few people at the very top should be in charge of market system and trade (all Marxists are capitalists, except that they think they should be controlling the capitalism that goes on in their country). As for Cuba, repression is increasing, even today, more political prisoners this year than any year in the last 5 years. As for Vietnam, see China. The common theme with all of these forced hybrid systems is the abject avarice of the elite, which desperately wants to control people and the markets at any cost, which is exactly what the Oba-mao crowd has tried to do in the USA since day 1.
+Techdeki0 ...If only half that were hurt were indeed commie sympathizers, that's fine by me. To hell with those traitors. And if the other half were innocent, I hope they were savvy/hardy enough to persevere. Life is not fair.

a streetcar named desire was his best work..
I liked On the Waterfront more. Spoke to the very sort of thuggery that they unleashed on him here.
Nah, he was trying to justify his snitching, cowardly ways. Streetcar, Face in the Crowd and Splendor in the Grass are all better imo...
he forgot the last 3 words -> "I think I can just slip away like a rat"
DeNiro's hair was like that for the role he was playing in the Rocky and Bulwinkle film that was shooting at the time.
Oh my god I only realized this was de niro when he said "bobby deniro" in the end lmao
I understand those who applaud him and I understand those who does not.
He is a great director but he also damaged lots of people. As always we cant separate the good and the bad side of each of us.
Exposing the soviet rot was an unmitigated good.
what's hilarious is the POINT of the mccarthy heariings was to get the more than 400 communists, (including AGLER HISS AND HARRY HOPKINS) out of our constitutional government and enforce a law saying you can't be a shitsucking commie and work for the government. i didn't understand history when i watched elia kazan take his oscar, but he's a fucking hero and i would have applauded loudly and fiercely.america STILL NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE the war crimes of the soviet unioin, address the lendlease fiasco that built russia into a super power, and also face it's own complicity in the deaths of MILLIOINS by mao and stalin because our government FDR and TRUMAN cared more about a democrat win than they did about standing up to evil....MILLIONS OF RUSSIANS AND MILLIONS OF CHINESE DIED BECAUSE OF FDR. dems have always been shitsuckers.
@@DIEGhostfish Clown.
Separating the good from the bad is one thing, giving him an honorary Oscar is quite another
@@DIEGhostfish Exposing the right-wing lunacy of HUAC by history in its honesty, truth, and even pure logic was an unmitigated good indeed! After all, anybody who has that kind of lunacy deserves to be condemned, judged, and criticized for generations to come!
The hubris of the actors who applauded gives you insight into why "Shakespeare In Love" won over "Saving Private Ryan" that year.
its very hard with Kazan he was a great director, but apparently had no loyalty for some of his coleagues. very hard contrast between the man and his work!
Trust the art...never the artist.
There was a time when movie moguls yearned to sanitize their stories into high-gloss fantasies, while Kazan burned to rip the trash-can covers off dicey subjects and hurl the contents into the audience's lap. Kazan was forging a new acting style. It had the appearance of realism. But, actually it revealed something in the natural behavior of people that hadn't been seen on screen before: the truth behind the posture.
you can still respect the man for the work he did in the film industry, but it's completely understandable as to why the audience was so divided.
Omg Marty and Elia were too cute together🙏🏻
"Thank you very much. I think I can just slip away."
I was feeling critical of Madigan, Harris, and Nolte for not at least applauding Kazan's artistic achievements, thinking they should separate the two and be good sports. Until I compared it to my feelings about Woody Allen's antics with his lover's adopted daughter - a huge betrayal of trust - and his daughter Dylan's testimony that he molested her when she was 7. I haven't been to a Woody Allen film since, because I can't separate him from his work. Don't know if this is right or wrong, but I just CAN'T. He destroyed innocent lives and has no remorse. Kazan did the same. No applause from me either. Reasonable or not, I can't blame those 3 for their strong feelings. Can you separate the artist and the man?
Kazan did not deatroy a single innocent. The CPUSA were evil. He exposed evil.
No, because they're one in the same
In Martin Ritt's 1976 production of "The Front"
which earned Walter Bernstein an 1977 Oscar nod, the film has a stunning cast of veterans
and newcomers were focusing about what's
going on in the blacklist community.
What's happening now that Elia Kazan has
been mentioned names and ruined many
people's lives around the world like Ed Harris,
Amy Madigan, Nick Nolte, Vicki Lewis,
Gale Anne Hurd, Robin Williams,
Dame Sophia Loren et al at the 1999 Oscars.
One thing's for sure: they didn't applaud and
becoming good sports & real troopers in
many ways.
A year later in the fall, which veteran actress, filmmaker and
musician Madeleine Stowe who has been in this
industry since 1978. She says, "I was first blacklisted in Hollywood for the first time on September 24, 1977 as actress, filmmaker and
musician which I was new at the time being along
with country singer/songwriter Deborah Allen
and many new faces such as Ariane, Bonita and
more. So filmmakers like Martin Ritt, Herbert Ross, Nicholas Meyer and more were trying to
give us plenty of work to do with lots of fun,
energy and grace. And that's just the beginning.
I'm proud of what we're all doing. Sometimes I'm
feeling a little bit flattered if everything could have been better, then I could say the song from the Mamas and the Papas was: "You Go Where You
Wanna Go, Do What You Wanna Do!"
So do what Madeleine Stowe does.
Get yourself a great pair of projects around
the world.
And let your spirits soar.
Yep, his daughter's testimony after years of coaching from Mia. I'm sure she believes she was molested, whether it happened or not. And usually those kind of men do it more than once. Allen also went through 2 trials and was not convicted. Allen has been married to Soon-Yi for almost 30 years now, the longest relationship he's ever had. I miss his work. I don't miss Kazan's.
@@muslit Yes there no comparison between the two. Ellia Kazan was a traitor and ruined lives. That's an undisputed fact, and one that had huge implications. Woody Allen was never found guilty, not even remotely, nor was he acting indecently towards anyone besides Mia Farrow who he kind of cheated on (and it wasn't with Soon-Yi at first anyway). People absolutely should connect Kazan's personal atrocities to his art because of how extensive and significant those were. Woody, on the other hand, is at worst a cheater, not even remotely as significant a crime compared to his accomplishments.
Ed Harris and Nick Nolte has beens? They were at the Oscars that year because they were nominated for Academy Awards! They are both worth millions and have both been nominated BEFORE and AFTER this particular ceremony (March 1999). Some has beens, LOL!!
Imagine your colleague ratting you out to the federal government, and contributing to having you and more of your colleagues locked in federal prison for having an opinion. That is what Elia Kazan did. He does not deserve applause, maybe his movies do, but not him. Harris and Nolte deserve respect for sticking up to this rat piece of shit.
Great People! Both accomplished artists were nominated for several Oscars for their work.

Marlon Brando was in rehearsals for the film “Julius Caesar” when news arrived that his mentor--Elia Kazan--had turned informer. Brando’s eyes filled with tears. “What am I gonna do when I see the man next?” he forlornly asked. “Punch him in the nose?”
"Or am I gonna star in his next film? Hmmm, cos, you know...I could probably win an Oscar!"
@@bOmBAsTiK You raise an interesting point about actors at the time. When torn between HUAC and their careers, they chose the latter. Frank Sinatra, who know the Waterfront turf well, was also opposed to Hollywood figures that talked. But he lobbied for the Terry Malloy role, and producer Sam Spiegel even led him to believe that the role was his.
@@bOmBAsTiK - What were you? Someone who had spoken for Marlon Brando on what his career aspects were to be? You must be that kidding!
You can see that even a lot of people who were applauding him were definitely not entirely happy that he was there. Kazan's negative contributions to cinema throughout his life unfortunately far outweighed the positive ones. It is an outrageous irony that he received such an important honor from an artistic class that he actually did so much harm.

No, they're dicks. He gave names to the committee that had already been given to them by others. He did this, so he could work. After which, he crafted some of the best films in that time, and perhaps, history. Maybe some of those people shouldn't have conspired to undermine the economic system of this country -- often at the direction of handlers from the USSR. There seems to be an embarrassing ignorance, or intentional mischaracterization about what the communist groups were about.
+Ramsay Clarke
Perhaps so. But I'm not proud of his tactics. He was heavy handed, opportunistic, and a fucking dick.
+Jason Morine Kazan was hardly a rat. Unlike the pussies who invoked the Fifth Amendment, he faced his questioning like a man. Answering truthfully does not make him a snitch. If you were aware of how many communists and their fellow travelers were in the federal government at the time, you'd realize what a threat they were. There's a reason why Stalin knew about the bomb before Roosevelt disclosed it at Yalta. That classified information sure wasn't leaked by people like Kazan. I suggest you read the Venona Papers before weighing in so harshly on Kazan's actions.
I still can't believe what classless pieces of fecal matter Nick Nolte and Ed Harris were at the ceremony. They're just as big pussies as the closet Communists. There's a reason why these two wimps didn't serve their country in the military or perform alternative service. I sicken every time I see Harris play a military officer in movies like "The Rock". He's not worthy to wear ANY uniform whether it's in a movie or not.

That was during the Hollywood Blacklist, where you'd essentially never get hired again if you were a suspected communist. So those people he named likely had their careers ruined. That's why people wouldn't clap or stand up for him.

This was a controversial Award, in that Kazan's artistic contributions to the Theater and Film Industry are beyond dispute; he was the director of the stage and film versions of "A Streetcar Named Desire", "On The Waterfront" which won Brando an Oscar, "Viva Zapata", "A Face In The Crowd" "Splendour In The Grass" and "America, America". He claims that he believed that naming names during the Hollywood blacklist period was morally the right course of action, however, careers were destroyed.

You know what the Cold War was? It was real, and Russia/USSR was our enemy. And if Putin has his way, we may be heading toward another Cold War.

A great director he may have been, but as a human being he was a betrayer of the worst kind: he betrayed his friends to save himself!
This award is for lifetime achievement in filmmaking, if you want to see lifetime achievement in moral go watch the latest years Academy Awards.
@@mitocondriaUAU_ agreed
can't definately blame him. might have been coerced by mccarthy to appear of lose career
McCarthy had nothing to do with Kazan, or the HUAC (the "House" of UnAmerican Activities, as in the House of Representatives, McCarthy was a senator), he was purely invested in the government, going after people whom he claimed handed Communists unearned victories. Also, the communist party of Hollywood in the United States at that time was receiving the equivalent of 2 million USD annually from the Soviet Union. These were not mere radicals expressing an opinion, these were people propped up by a rival government, and an enemy of the state. There was some concern, therefore, warranted by the formation of the HUAC, and Kazan's contributions may have overall helped the country more than we're willing to admit.
His appearance in Frankenstein was five years before the 71st Academy Awards. It was for his role in Rocky and Bullwinkle.
They're so young.
He was in the middle of filming The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle ( he played "Fearless Leader") I remember watching this clip when it was broadcast and wondering WTF was with his hair too
I've had applauded his work. But I would not have stood. Applaud the art. Can't say I'd stand for the man.

Warren Beatty's attitude is impressive.
his Howard Hughes movie is gonna be a masterpiece
how (Donald Trump Voice) “wrong” you turned out to be
@@jakemaringoni indeed
I checked and I stand corrected!
whats the theme that's being played on.
People need to respect the choice of those who didn't applaud. If they had thrown rotten fruit at Kazan on stage, I would agree with your outrage. They showed perfect poise in their stance.

I don’t give af if the people sitting down don’t like Kazan because they probably were all for Polanski when he won his Oscar a few years later. Fucking hypocrites. One of the greatest directors ever and I’m happy he at least got that last bit of recognition before he died.
You’re just making stuff up to be mad lmao.
The only one mad seems to be you since you put that pissy response.
@@Tony_Baudelaire01 you’re definitely projecting, since your original comment was basically foaming at the mouth.
@@lauramarquez1749 give me an actual problem with what I said other than you being pissed about it. Hollywood has the biggest hypocrites and it’s on display with the people who didn’t want to give him an ovation. Grow tf up.
@@Tony_Baudelaire01 you said “they probably were all for Polanski” with no proof? Then you called them “fucking hypocrites.” That’s why I said you made things up (them supporting Polanski) to get mad.
I love Harris and his "What the FUCK?!" look on his face.
@Leo Peridot the majority of them were applauding and showing respect for the man's career and everything he accomplished in that medium. I'm sure many of them disapproved of him betraying his friends.
And who amongst that list you named is a conservative? Kathy Bates and Warren Beatty sure as hell aren't lol.
He was appearing on Broadway because Broadway was immune to the blacklist, but not nearly as lucrative as TV. It has long been said by people who knew him that his suicide was attributable to the blacklist. All those things no doubt added to it, but you can't remove the blacklist from the equation or say it in no way added to it.
That's something you don't see often. The young Mr. Corleone kissing Hyman Roth (Kazan was considered for the role).
no matter what the context and what some of you have said, the fact is he destroyed promising careers within the industry to save his own skin, when others were willing to have the bravery and integraty to stand up to mcarthy
These people won’t even stand up to cancel culture of the 2010 and accusing everyone of being some sort of bigoted, xenophobic nazi nowadays.
De Niro was ahead of his time for sure. Look at the men’s haircut trends of today.
We learned about Elia in my cinema class the other night.
Yes, I know that old line that he only (only!) named 8 people, who the HUAC already knew about. As if that makes a difference, or dilutes his shame. He was giving his endorsement to the Hollywood blacklist, something which destroyed the lives and careers of wholly innocent people.
Jesus, that slip away line breaks my heart every time.
Which?
The man did only what he needed to survive in a corrupt industry.... and he didn't name anyone who hadn't yet been named. These Hollywood celebs are hypocrites.... blacklisting him once again.
You idiot. He wasn't blacklisted to begin with - That is the whole point of them protesting him.

Is there a y documentary about Elia Kazan???
Yes. Look up "Hollywood was always red" you'll find it very informative.
Bravo to those who don't applaud. Humanity must be above art. No supposed good film that he could have made can be above the terrible damage that he helped do to so many people. He is a person who only deserves condemnation and contempt.
Standing and clapping......
Debbie Allen ,Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell
Karl Malden, Warren Beatty
Kathy Bates, Meryl Streep, Helen Hunt....
All these actors and actresses themselves deserve a standing ovation for their courage and graciousness in standing up to applaud Elia Kazan.
Those who chose not to applaud include Nick Nolte, Ed Harris, Ian Mckellen and a hosts others. Shame on them!
The audience are as divided as the American people are, as shown by the 2020 United States elections.
Elia was 90 years old here and he fully deserved his long awaited honorary oscar for being one of the greatest Hollywood director.
He pass away 4 years later at 94 of natural causes.
Particularly for Warren Beatty, considering his political stands. I guess he's grateful enough not to be bitter over Kazan's past actions.
Beatty has the emotional look of someone who loved Kazan like a father.

@Johnnyboy792 You got the picture right, Johnny.
For all the people who insisted on not standing up for the man, I hope you remember that if it wasn't for the radical films made my people like Kazan you wouldn't even be here today. So have some respect you ingrates.
@ers586
Michael Moore was telling it like it is long before it was cool to do so.
And yes, Ed Harris and Nick Nolte simply refused to applaud. They had dignity in their opposition to the award. They didn't make a scene out of it, but they showed their stance. I can respect them for doing that.
Wow supporting communism in Hollywood is so stunning and brave.

We will worship his art & we will condemning his weakness for eternity !
I am conflicted about this, if I had been there I'm not sure what I would have done. On the one hand, I truly enjoy Elia Kazan's films. He was an excellent director and I feel that he does deserve this Oscar based on his work.
Naming names was seen in Hollywood as an enormous betrayal, so I can understand the negative reactions, but at the same time, the man must have been under enormous pressure from HUAC. Not to mention that people make mistakes and that forgiveness is a virtue.
I'm torn.
They were communists, as they were elites of the free world. That is an overt hypocrisy. Being a communist as an American is a betrayal of America, really any country because it simply can only sustain destruction and decadence, but yet especially a betrayal to America.
He should not be forgiven for what he did because it was simply just, that is if you believe American fundamentals.
He ruined many careers… no forgiveness… Marty… ugh, senior, ugh…
I dunno. Multiple Hollywood ppl were called to testify and only a few named other names. Most acknowledged only their membership in the American communist party. Also, Kazan tried to defend himself by saying he didn't name any names the committee didn't already have, so it's like, then why did you actually name them?
@@shyladare Because America deserved the truth.
@@DIEGhostfish America isn't a person, it's a country. It deserves nothing. If you mean that non celebrity Americans deserved to know only certain celebrities political status because of a hysterical misperceived and manufactured "threat"...no, they didn't.
Pinky (1949) directed by Elia Kazan. How many directors made films defended black human rights at that time?
Sadly not many, but he wasn't the only director to do this, nor was he the first. Nor does this prove he was a "good guy" or whatever you are trying to imply... just that he doesn't like racism. He's a liberal ex-communist anyway so that isn't really surprising. To name at least a few directors I'll add John Ford (Sergeant Rutledge), John Sidney and James Whale (both versions of 'Show Boat') and Joseph L. Mankiewicz (No Way Out).

I'm not sure about how the points are being put across, but this is a good topic. I'm a stiff arsed brit, living thousands of miles away, who wasn't even alive when the witch hunts went down, but have read a little on this.
Kazan was a hugely talented man, who deserves the respect of the industry he worked in. But naming names is a no no. I can sort of understand the pressure he may have been under, but at the end of the day, it was a job he'd have lost.
