I can watch Josephine Hull in Harvey and fall about laughing everytime. She is the funniest person I've ever seen. May she rest in peace, having cheered us up so very much. Thanks for this
I wholeheartedly agree!! I pee. A little.
One of my favorite performances in the Best Supporting Actress category. ''Harvey'' to me is a masterpiece, and Josephine playing James Stewart's sister is incredibly funny.
true on all accounts
A Superb Lady with all of the charm you'd expect from such a gifted Actress, Bless her heart ❤️!!!!!
Arsenic and Old Lace was really good as well.
I love her work in the movie Arcenic and Old Lace with Cary Grant she was funny!
It could have been a five way tie. They were all brilliant. Hull's speech is a model of what an Oscar winning speech should be. Brava for her!
You might feel better if you got back on yours meds. Troll.
TheTerryE Double troll.

Relax. He didn't invade Poland or anything. Talk about overreacting.
oh, sister! have you got a case of sore loser. move on, move on and don't tsop till you are clear out of town.
All of the Oscars should be that way , recognize the top five of all pictures released that year .
A very well deserved Oscar. She was magnificent in this film!
What a classy, beautiful speech! And a lovely smile she has too!
The last time a performer born in the 1870's would ever be nominated the Oscars.
Absolutely wonderful! Hull makes me smile every time she appears. Arsenic and Harvey were made for jo. What a wonderful actress!
What a lovely speech!
How gracious she was.
Wasnt it lovely of Dean Jagger to meet this lady as she got to the stage?
Dean Jagger was such a gentleman helping her up the steps & putting his arm around her.
What a gentle Lady, a true class act!
Josephine Hull is a name you hardly ever heard of UNLESS you had the pleasure of seeing her EXTREMELY delightful performance in "Harvey". For that her name is permanently embedded in my memory. What a unique and enchanting performer.
What a lovely old lady!
A great performance in a ry strong year for supporting actress.
My favorite is Celeste Holm, but all them are great.
+MrFabinhoFlapp
Yes, one of the best years. Nancy Olson doesn't quite come up to the other four, but she is very good. I will love the great Thelma Ritter into eternity.
What a doll of a dumpling! Between Harvey and Arsenic and Old Lace, and nothing more that I've seen her in - she made so few movies - both performances wee show stoppers and more memorable than actors who have made dozens of movies.
Harvey is a unique film - at least 20 years ahead of it time. James Stewart was still playing the part on stage 25 years later
Elwood is timeless ... He could be played by a thirty-year-old or 70-year old....
What a lineup. That is competition of the highest order with a truly deserving winner. What a charming person and wonderful acceptance speech.
Wow. People had such class in those days. No crazy musical acts, sleazy jokes. The clothes. Okay I'll stop
She was absolutely wonderful in Harvey and so was James Stewart. just a masterful comic performance.
I loved her footwork in "Arsenic and Old Lace".
One if the funniest movies ever made. And she was hilarious, as was Stewart.
@@patrickryan1515 She was a hoot in Arsenic a true talent.
@@gwenfluker3436 And that speech of hers was so very sweet. What a unique person.
FANTASTIC DECISION. The best way the Oscars could give "Harvey" love!
So well said! :D 100% Agreed indeed! :D
Isn't she lovely?! Wonderful to see her talents acknowledged! Such a gracious lady & talented actress! Loved her in 'Harvey'. 🐰
"Harvey" is such an underrated movie; the premise, the script, the direction, and James Stewart are fantastic. It's amazing how besides all of that, Josephine elevated the film EVEN MORE with her great performance. Very well deserved.
Pure Class!
Such a delightful lady
Sometimes funny isn't classy, and sometimes classy isn't funny. Josephine Hull epitomizes both! She was astonishing.
A truly wonderful lady.
lovely lady and amazing actress
A classic comedic performance - a richly.deserved award! Love that film!
An absolutely classy lady all the way she was wonderful and full of amazing talent and LOVE !!!!!
Aw so sweet she was so lovely :)
All the nominees were outstanding except Nancy Olson and even she was very good. Josephine Hull's award represents one of the top 5 winners EVER in this category. Supremely funny.
Hope Emerson IS the Definitive Evil Prison Matron, I think she deserved the award that year.
Agree about Hope Emerson. That was one scary lady.
She was so funny and much deserving of the Oscar.
This should be the right speech when winning an Oscar -- Short, brief, precise, and funny... Compared today. Specially after Will-Chris slapping incident that almost ruined this year's ceremony...
She's lovely!
I'm a real movie buff, and Nosephine Hull's performance in HARVEY is one of my favorites!
Wow….Class at the Oscars….Who would have thought
She was just darling!
She was 73 years old when she won this award. I'm going to go out on a limb and saying at that time she may have been the oldest living person to have won an Oscar at that point. Plus remember for a comedic role, she won an Oscar very rare.
Excelentísima artista!!! La adore en Arsénico por compasión y en Harvey!!
What an adorable , happy sweetheart 🥰
SHE WAS SIMPLY ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC , BUT EVERY ONE OF THOSE PERFORMANCES DESERVE AN AWARD !
You often hear it said that as time goes by we progress and become better people a better society but this proves the past for al it faults was better and we as people have regressed to the point that I shudder to think what kind of future it will be 70 years from now. If we have any guide to go by it doesn’t bode well.
Legend
Great!!!
She is adorable but Hope Emerson's performance in Caged gave me nightmares since I saw it on TV as a child.
yeah: she was a scary presence in that one alright
Wonderful 👏 👏 👏
WHAT A CLASSY LADY.
Um, George Sanders? I believe the one who presented the Oscar was Dean Jagger. Mr. Sanders did won the Best Supporting Actor that evening, though.
How wonderful :)
Lol she is just so tiny and lovable!!!
Lovely lady
I thought Hope Emerson who played the sadistic prison matron was the best.
Ritter as birdie was better
more please love Oscar
DEAN JAGGER!!! LAMBDA CHI ALPHA!! ZAX!!! Oops, sorry; got a little excited to see one of my Academy Award-winning fraternity brothers presenting.
This was Hope Emerson's Oscar.
+oscarman42
I loved Emerson's sadistic performance in Caged as well, but Josephine Hull's Veta Louise Simmons in Harvey is a masterpiece of comedic realization. Clearly the right choice.
+oscarman42 No, it wasnt. Hulle won these and completely deserved this. Hulls mindblowing performance as Harveys old sister blowed my head of! Funny as goddamn hell! ;D Youre no `oscarman´ if you Thinks that. :) You of course have the right to have your opinion tho. Mrs. Hull (obviosly), Ritter and maybe Holm where all better, imo. Emerson was Amazing as well, though it was a very strong catagory. :)
You tell 'em strangelove. I can see why Ms Hull "blowed your head off" and side note: god how I love Thelma Ritter in EVERYTHING.
Yeah :)
@@TheChannelTV-bt8em Could have been a tie just like in 1968 with Streisand and Hepburn!!!!!
dean jaqger was handsome he always looked so plain and mean in most films!..
this win comes EASLY in my top 3 most deserving best supporting actress Oscar Winners of all time after Kedrova for Zorba the Greek and McCambridge for All the Kings Men!:) the Academy should give Oscars to MUCH more comedic performances!!!
+dr strangelove. You have 2 out of 3 of my faves in that category too. Kedrova isn't in there but she's very close. I prefer Jo Van Fleet in East of Eden and Cloris Leachman in The Last Picture Show. But great taste as usual.
Thanks!
When I think about it. Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind borrows a part of the movie Harvey.
It's like there is a sub story going on between the doctors and nurses while this main story is going about. So maybe just slightly borrowing would be the term.
Love the mink stole, dress 👗 😍 ❤
Thelma Ritter should have won*
For the role she played literally every time, yet never really exceptionally?
But could Thelma ever deliver a line. Her line early on when she describes Eve's hard-luck story as everything but the hounds snapping at Eve's butt is priceless.
@@HAL-vm3wn When you're as great as Thelma, I would expect nothing less than the same role every time. As for being exceptional, she stole every scene she was ever in. I'd say that is exceptional. She was the best ever.
@@independentfilmchannel1476 Thelma Ritter deserved an Oscar for 3 very wonderful films: With a Song in my Heart, Rear Window, and Pillow Talk!!!!!
THELMA RITTER SHOULD HAVE WON FOR ALL ABOUT EVE*
That didn't happen, and here are my possible reasons why. First, also nominated in Best Supporting Actress for All About Eve was Celeste Holm which could have split their votes. Second, Ritter has way less screentime in the movie compared to Holm.
So tiny!!!
+rlnyny
And so lovable. And so freaking talented.
Celeste Holm or Nancy Olson deserved this award - both delivered measured, nuanced work that was crucial to the effectiveness of their films. Hull was just an old ham, chewing the scenery with a caricature. None of the humanity that was in Holm or Olson's work. (9/29/18)
Olson couldn't hold a candle to either of them. "none of the humanity"? Hull's last scene was one of the best examples ever of the poignant and the comedic coming together at the same moment. It was just a different sort of role from the others, that's all. You don't know what a ham is. You're probably one of those who think comedy as a rule is inferior to drama no matter how good it is. That's a shame.
