What a great speech. There was no one like Marvin - in SO many good films!
I’m lee Marvin’s 7th cousin 2x removed he was an amazing man. Wish I knew him personally only what family members have told me
Lee also served with the Marines on Saipan during WWII. I can see that trait in his action movies. He died too young, only 63. He was one of my favorites. I knew that voice anywhere.
Yes he definitely lived life large and paid the ultimate price with a shortened life span.
63 is old 😢
I am so happy, I had no idea he won for Cat Ballou. I love that movie so much!
NEITHER did Marvin!! 🤪
Loved that speech. Short and to the point, Lee Marvin style!
My God, his voice makes my laptop vibrate!
*Basso* *Profundo.* There's a dearth of such singularly memorable actors like him these days; they all just seem to blend into one another, and are utterly replaceable.
That's intentional. The people in charge of social messaging today would consider his branding to be toxic masculinity
@Kaarl Patrick Piyarson The process is well under way, its pretty obvious. Anyone who doesn't meet their woke standards will simply be cancel cultured out of the collective memory
A well deserved applause for him. You can't help but love 'The Kid'. Funniest line"You oughta see em from my side"
Hollywood with all their pretty boys who mumble thru' their teeth, don't hold a candle to Marvin.
Those were the days when you could go the the Beverly Hilton Hotel before the telecast was over and wait for and mingle with the winners.We congratulated Lee Marvin then my friend held his Oscar we had no camera. Those were really fun times
Julie is stunning so beautiful
I don't know why Julie Andrews isn't always included among Hollywood's most beautiful women. She's perfect
She is in my book.......
I think it’s the roles she played.
I agree. Nobody ever says anything about her beauty. I saw a video where she was rehearsing a dance, she was stunning. And nobody was looking at her. Can't find it so don't ask.
as Be Kind Rewind stated in her video about Julie Andrews and Julie Christie... Julie Andrews was in Hollywood, not 'with' Hollywood
Why state the obvious
GREAT actor.
From "Liberty Valance" to "Gilhooly" and every character he played.
Loved him in Gorky Park. He played a great, well dressed villian!
A war hero to
Lee Marvin and great voice 🤗💖
That's when the Oscars were fun to watch
Even in a tux., Lee Marvin is someone you dont want to mess with.
truth
That voice,, I could listen to that all day...
One of my all time heros! God bless Lee Marvin and John Wayne!
While I liked Lee and respected him for his service, I was really surprised when he won this Oscar. But his character was widely accepted as an award winner around the World!
One of the coolest guys ever
He gives credit to the horse, now try and tell me this man doesn't have class. I think his best movie was Paint Your Wagon as Ben Rumson. Too be honest i never seen one of his pictures that I didn't enjoy. He was truly a man's man.
Loved Paint Your Wagon and that song, "I Was Born Under A Wandering Star". What a man Lee Marvin was!
Point Blank. Dirty Dozen. The Killers. The Professionals.
Monte Walsh was his best performance.
And the applause for Marvin was unusually lively and extended. They either loved his performance, which was exceptional, or they loved him - could be it was both.
Look at him he shakes his head several times, he can't believe he won over all those serious roles. But that was a difficult acting job. He rightfully won, and was so humble. Back when winners were really winners.
Very classy touch. Horses seldom get the recognition they deserve. Kid Shelleen's was certainly a very special beast. Who can forget those crossed hoofs!
Not bad for an enlisted Marine with a Purple Heart Medal. WWII Veteran who was lucky to make off Saipan.
Which had what to do with his acting?
@@howie9751 If he had not survived in WW2, he wouldn’t have been acting, duh!
Fabulous Julie Andrews! She is a goddess
Still can’t believe that Omar Sharif wasn’t even one of the nominees for his terrific performance in Doctor Zhivago.
OMAR SHARIF WAS NO ACTOR HOW HOLLYWOOD SPECIALLY DAVID LEAN GAVE HIM MAJOR TITLE IN DR ZHIVAGO BAFFLES ME TILL TODAY HE WAS PICKED FOR LAWRENCE OF ARABIA BEING AN EGYPTIAN BUT ALL OTHER MOVIES OK NO CHANCE HE COULD WIN AN OSCAR
Some critics absolutely hated his performance as the lead role in Doctor Zhivago. That's why he wasn't nominated.
@@michaelverbakel7632 Critics had no vote for either Oscar nominations or final awards. Sharif won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama. I would guess he ran 6th in a field of 5 in the Oscar race.
He beats out Richard Burton, Lawrence Olivier and Rod Steiger, and he stands up there totally cool and in control and he thanks his horse. No gushing, no preening, no "I'm king of the world", no self-infatuated ten-minute sermon on issues he knows nothing about and the audience cares nothing about. When was this, the Middle Ages?
Lol, someone didn't like James Cameron speech
I was thinking the same thing. I what to rewatch it I thought, “That’s it that’s all he said?” Amazing
Well Said....total humble bad ass!!!
…and he doesn’t include politics. If Hanoi Jane had been nominated and won best actress, she’d have still been rattling on.
Do you really think he deserved it for that crap ass movie?
Right on! "Thank you," and then he gets off the stage.
Marvin won the Golden Globe, BAFTA and NBR prior to this; Burton nor Steiger won any precursor awards. Plus, listen to the prolonged applause Marvin received, showing he was also well-liked amongst his peers.
You are right, that was some thunderous, prolonged applause
A true legend.
It's an eternal mystery that Julie Andrews didn't win the Academy Award for Best Actress for Sound of Music.
I think she should win back to back Oscars. One for Mary Poppins and the other for The Sound of Music.
Mediocre actress at best. Too British sounding. Not very curvy either
I’m still in love with Julie Andrews.
I've been asking for this clip for ages, so delighted to the Admins for finally posting it. Julie looks exquisite (this was the 1st Oscarcast I was permitted to stay up for and watch because it fell during April vacation and I remembered her dress) and I really love Marvin's performance in CAT BALLOU. I'd have given it to Burton, but I am very glad nevertheless that he had at least won it for a comedy double-role.
RIP Lee Marvin (February 19, 1924 - August 29, 1987), aged 63
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Beautiful Julie!
For me one of Marvin's best performances was as the king of railroad hobos in "Emperor of the North." Highly recommended movie if you are a Lee Marvin fan.
Fantastic cast, Marvin, Borgnine Carradine. They had a film club at my secondary school and they showed us this. Always remembered it.
My dad took the family to see that movie when it came out.....have never seen it again...don't know why it never plays and so hard to find.....
Lee Marvin stole the show in Cat Ballou. He and the horse were both hilarious. 🤣🤣
Bob Hope. Julie Andrews. Richard Burton. Laurence Olivier. Lee Marvin. .....
Really great actor and equally good guy. Nice clip.
LOVED LEE MARVIN.
Lee MARVIN.
@@Smudgeroon74 Darn typo. Thx!
I FELT LEE MARVIN IN MAN WHO SHOT LIBERY VALANCE SHOULD HAVE WON BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR WHAT ACTING HE DID AS A RUTHLESS GUNSLINGER
Julie Andrews looks gorgeous!!!!
+Fr. Duffy Fighting 69th Emily Blunt will never compare.
She was as pretty as pretty could get, that's for certain.
For me, it should have been Oskar Werner. Those scenes with Simone Signoret in the film Ship of fools, were superb.
That idiot should have gone with her. Shows what a great actor he was I was so mad at him.
From loveable Kid Shaleen to evil Liberty Valance, both great performances.
julie is great
That half-Oscar-winning horse must be the one with the crossed hoofs in the end. Unforgettably hilarious! :D
He was incredible in this movie; loved the horse!
He was great in The Dirty Dozen.
Yes! I love that movie, it gets an annual rewatch from me
my goodness Julie andrews is so perfect in face and voice...its mind boggling...gorgeous, simple and hot all at the same time. I dont find any other hollywood legend quite like that.
Hands behind his back--an absolute gentleman--not surprising, really...
wasn't that one of the longest applause?
Yes, it was a popular win though hardly an Oscar worthy performance under an circumstance
He had built his reputation with so many roles as the heavy in films like Liberty Valance or Bad Day at Black Rock. Too see him handle a comedy performance so perfectly just surprised and charmed the Oscar voters. Good timing, and you can tell he appreciated the honor. Your skepticism is noted...
The Kid Sheleen role that Lee Marvin won his Best Actor Oscar for in 1965, was originally offered to Kirk Douglas, who turned it down, presumably because of its self deprecating elements, however, it was a perfect fit for Marvin, who had never parodied his menacing roles in films like The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Comancheros and the Budd Boetticher westerns that he appeared in during the 50s. The conventional wisdom at the time suggested that Rod Steiger would win for The Pawnbroker; fortunately, he would win in 1968 for his role in In The Heat Of The Night.
Kirk Douglas could have played it, he should have even though I love Lee Marvin.
KIRK DOUGLAS MUST HAVE REPENTED ALL HIS LIFE AS HE NEVER WON AN OSCAR ONLY HIS CLOSE FRIEND BURT LANCASTER FOR "ELMER GANTRY "
In the professionals when Burt Lancaster says to Lee Marvin, we'll ill be dammed, Marvins reply, most of are. Classic.
Much as I like Lee Marvin, Rod Steiger in the Pawnbroker was genius.
A WW-2 hero
And for a comedy performance, go Lee.
Anybody who doubts this man's acting prowess should check out a classic ( and creepy ) TWILIGHT ZONE episode called THE GRAVE. The story is a Western adaptation of the old urban legend about a group of townspeople betting a local gunslinger to leave a knife atop the fresh grave of a bitter rival. Won't kill it for you, see for yourself and tell me it doesn't rank with THE HOWLING MAN for best Halloween styled stories from the original TWILIGHT ZONE series....🇵🇷🇺🇸😎
Julie Andrews has so much class
To date this is the only Oscar winning performance for an Actor playing dual roles in a movie. Its very rare - I think Nicholas Cage in ADAPTATION is the only other performer nominated.
Peter Sellers in Dr Stangelove
Precisely @@kevint.landry6823
Didnt julie look exquisite? Lee marvin and julie christie gave their acceptance speeches fast that year. Finished before you knew it. Thanks for the post. Why are some winners posted for some years and not others for same year?
Half of this belongs to a horse someplace out in the valley. Probably one of the best lines ever in an oscar speech.
Love Lee Marvin.
Should have gone to Steiger.
It wasn't the greatest acting job to win an Oscar, but I'm such a Lee Marvin fan that I don't begrudge him the statue. The woman sitting beside him would later sue him for palimony.
FC Schaeffer sometimes its the character such as Sylvester in rocky and travolta in fever. its not always the talent or the dramatic expenses but how well you create a character.
I believe that Lee Marvin was sitting with Robert Aldrich, who directed him in The Dirty Dozen and Emperor Of The North. Ironically, the drunken gunslinger role that won Marvin his only Oscar was turned down by Kirk Douglas. Marvin had been portraying menacing characters for 15 years in a variety of films, including Ford's The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Steiger gave one of his best and most restrained performances in The Pawnbroker, but he won two years later for Heat Of The Night.
It'sdelightful to see Julie present the award to Lee Marvin. A Quick observation: Does anyone notice the similarities between Lee Marvin & Johnny Carson both facially and voice. Just curious. Never noticed it back then but then I may not have been up that late watching the Tonight Show. Julie looks Smashing.
I'd never noticed, until you just mentioned it, but it's undeniable! And from now on, I'll never *not* notice their similarity! 😊
Good old Julie. An English greeting - a nice, meaningful, kiss on the cheek, none of this falsehood presented as kiss-on-both-cheeks posturing
Andrews was so beautiful.......Lee gives her a nice smooch.......
Love Lee Marvin, but Rod Steiger's performance in "The Pawnbroker" was phenomenal. Just my opinion, of course. But I guess Steiger got the better of it with his Oscar for "In the Heat of the Night" the year Marvin should have received a nomination for "The Dirty Dozen".
The world had so much class back then. Epitomized here by Ms. Andrews and Mr. Marvin.
Iconic shot of Lee Marvin sleeping on his horse who was leaning on the wall with his legs crossed.
Actually, Steiger won the best actor award at Berlin for it in 1964, but it wasn't Oscar eligible until 1965. Interestingly, he would go on to win the BAFTA for it for 1966 releases in the UK.
Fabulous Julie:)
Lee Marvin left me marveling
What an amazing year.
he was amazing as liberty valance
He gave credit to the one who helped him win the Oscar . . . a horse somewhere out in the valley. Epic!
Handsome man with a great voice.
Love that movie.
I love this. Modest and reserved. Personality traits I never would have associated with Lee Marvin.
This was one of my moms favorite movies. Mine, too.
Semper Fi Lee.
I loved Lee Marvin's performance but that he won over Oskar Werner and Richard Burton is .... whew ....
Gotta love that voice. Lee Marvin RULES🤘🏆 Forever.❤❤
Old school Class...
just came here to appreciate julie andrews' gorgeous everything
Lee marvin, an authentic man's man
just a great guy love him
Confused as to how Christopher Plummer wasn’t even nominated.
Yeah. Total nonsense. Ok probably he wouldn't beat Lee or Rod but he gave really an excellent performance of Captain Von Trapp.
Total tough guy mr. Lee marvin
He was my mothers favourite actor - therefore my forenames are Lee Martin (my Dad, god bless him, drew the line at Marvin). He was, though, a hell of an actor. I am not a great fan of musicals BUT "Paint Your Wagon" is a must watch. LEE IS BRILLIANT
Deserved Oscar In Very Funny Film.
Right. ;D
As a huge Lee Marvin fan, I have no problem with him getting the award. He had a stellar career. But Rod Steiger in The Pawnbroker would've been my choice. Moreover, I thought that Paul Newman should've won in '68 for Cool Hand Luke, over Steiger for In the Heat of the Night. Great film, but I thought that both Steiger and Poitier were as good as each other with similar screen time. But Newman was the singular lead in Luke and more deserving. Imho.😢
Loved that movie! Lee was fantastic!
Fantastic speech
Lee Marvin was excellent in the second half of the movie but Rod Steiger was unbelievable in the pawnbroker. Nevertheless there were Oscar winner who act less good than Lee Marvin.
Before Cat Ballou Lee Marvin had given a number of memorable performances none of which had received even an Oscar nomination. Perhaps the Academy had this in mind when they gave him the Oscar for Cat Ballou.
M Squad. Great police procedural from the 1959s.
No political screeds, no self-serving comments - just thanks and gave credit to the horse. Class all the way.
Extraordinary actor!
Love Lee 🇦🇺❤️
Scratching my head wondering how Christopher Plummer didn’t get nominated for the Sound of Music.
I know right.
Lee played two roles in this movie - this may have been the only time a performer won for playing dual roles.
Not the first time, Fredric March won the Oscar for Jekyll and Hyde in 1931.
@@norm-bb3bb But that was the same person. Marvin played two different characters. Nicholas Cage was nominated for playing two different characters in ADAPTATION
@@michaelmuldowney8 Yeah, it was the same person but two different characters.
The best Actor in Cinema of All the Times, according to approach of the "ALBUM of the movie STARS
I reiterate: Lee Marvin deserved this Oscar. The other nominees were overly dramatic and seemed a bit pretentious. But Lee gave a rip-roaring, fun, entertaining performance in a tricky double role. Plus, "" made a ton of money while the other actor's films made next to no money e.g., Oscar Werner, was nominated for "Ship of Fools", in which Lee Marvin also starred (!), and "Cat Ballou" made more than six times the money of "Ship of Fools" . The other films [Pawnbroker; The Spy Who Came in from the Cold; Othello] made little money. But "Cat Ballou" was both a big financial hit and Lee was a big hit with audiences. Sometimes an actor who really knows how to entertain should be duly recognized.
At last someone besides my parents agreed with me I was 14 when I first saw that movie my parents always chose ones that entertained us Were fortunate in those days made good movies My Parents could not stand the stuffy movies
Box-office does not always correlate to quality. I agree Marvin did great with a dual role, but I don't think money should really factor into it as much as you say. I think this win is similar to Marisa Tomei's for "My Cousin Vinny" in that it stood out because it was different than the others and voters liked the actor. Marvin was also being rewarded for going "against type" in a comedy after years of serious roles. There are many factors involved in who ultimately wins an Oscar.
''Smokey The Horse RIP''
Happy 30th birthday!!!
His voice was dreamy. 😍
