Wow, Nurse Ratched looks so pretty!
J.A. What's wrong with you, she's the presenter!!!!
Louise was hot!!!
She was in once upon a time in America 1983 film deleted scenes on CZcams
She does look beautiful
Lmao i think i was the only who think the same
0:45 Talia Shire went from Adrian to Connie Corleone immediately when they announced Faye Dunaway
Best comment
I agree. LOVE Talia and her reaction.
@@nomiddlenamenmn427 She had the same reaction when she lost to Ingrid Bergman in 1975.
Sissy seems overjoyed that Faye won.
I also like to see the Reactions of the "Losers" (They were nominated for an Oscar which I still think is still a great accomplishment)
Talie Shire did look very dissapointed and so did LIv Ullman. Talia defintely did applaud and so did LIv Ullman I think Sissy looked like she was happy that Faye Won. I assume maybe she was a big Faye Dunaway Fan.
I remember recently watching I think it was the Oscars Telecast- maybe it was the Emmys. I believe of the nominees for some award- I think it may have been Director or Best Actor were Black. When a whiter Person won- both did not applaud at all, but almost gave dirty looks. I thought that was bad Sportsmanship. I don't think that person who won the award won it because they were White and/or the People who voted on it were Racist. They won because the Academy Members who voted on it thought they gave the best performance or if it was for Directing the best job in that category.
Faye Dunaway, Sissy Spacek, Liv Ullmann. Three of the greatest actresses of all time.
I agree!
hard to decide which won should win
They are good Liv Ullman was nominated quite a bit in the 1970s but never won. too bad.
Skibi REALLY???
@@gattopardodilampeduza3211 Who would you pick?
Dunaway gives the perfect speech... short, simple, honest, classy.
@De St And you know her personally to know how she actually is?
@De St Even I've known a few people who dealt with with her professionally and it was "easy" to say the least... Its easy for others to believe hearsay and gossip, rather than having a personal experience and being truthful about it...
@De St I am not relying on gossip and hearsay, because I ain't believing them, unlike you... IT IS gossip and hearsay when someone YOU DO KNOW tells you of their personal experience with a third party... If suppose someone around you tells a story to someone else they know about you having an affair, it is hearsay and gossip...
Anything she says is classy. I love Faye.
Which is odd considering she's not classy and was always late LOL
36 at the time. Absolutely beautiful.
37 second speech. How wonderful.
TheTerryE Reserved, although you could tell she was nervous.
Generous with her praise, but not effusively so.
Just. COMPOSED.
Rarely do I remember or care about Oscar speeches, but this is the exception.
She displays so much dignity.
At that very moment Faye was the sexiest, classiest woman alive.
This is the way I will always remember her.
LOVELY.
It seemed like only 36 seconds
Yeah and no political bullshit either.
Faye Dunaway looks stunning! Definitely deserved the award for Network. She truly was a beauty and her thank you speech was perfect. Nothing over-the-top grandiose etc etc
I love Faye's voice and how understated her speech is.
I was just thinking that her voice is so calm, deep, soothing, sexy, like caramel.
Me too
Those were the days. Those short and sweet speeches are no more now.
I was 8 years old in 1977. And I've watched Network later in life and I thought it was the best film ever!
Classic, classy speech. I cannot stand many US Southern accents except for Faye’s, Shirley MacLaine’s, Warren Beatty’s, Sissy Spacek’s, and Billy Bob Thornton’s. They know the natural cadence makes all the difference. It seems so difficult for many actors to learn.
I wouldn't mind Talia Shire or Sissy Spacek to get the Oscar that year but be honest, Faye did a phenomenal job in The Network. Her acting was just WOW. To be honest, I'm still surprised she won only 1 Oscar in her career
alex blend Faye deserved it, hands down. I absolutely love Spacek as Carrie. She's a close 2nd here in my mind. She and Piper Laurie were both incredible.
The fact that both Sissy Spacek and Piper Laure were nominated for their work in "Carrie" is a feat in itself. Oscars rarely acknowledge horror films.
you forgot Mommie Dearest.
Dunaway should have won for Chinatown but they had to give it to Ellen Burstyn since they screwed her out of an Oscar for “The Exorcist.”
I agree Chuck! I wish Ellen got the Oscar for The Exorcist, Faye for Chinatown, and Sissy for Carrie. That would have felt right.
Faye is one of the most impeccably beautiful women ever. Great actress too!
In Network is amazing
Really? Lol
She was sophisticated and kinda sexy, however, she was also kinda neurotic.
what about meryl?
In my mind that should read "Faye was THE most impeccably beautiful woman ever. Great actress too!"
My God... They were ALL so beautiful.
So little make up, and still so naturally beautiful.....
No BBL's, contouring or any of the mess of today.
Faye Dunaway was amazing, but Spacek did an incredible job
Louise Fletcher was so beautiful!
Wow, Faye Dunaway was gorgeous back in the day. I watched Network a few weeks ago and she deserved that Oscar bigtime.
The film should have won Best Picture, too. With all due respect to Rocky, a great movie.
@@trhansen3244 speak of the devil, 14 years after I posted this comment I discussed this very film with a friend out of the blue and now you've commented on my comment. Much has changed in 14 years.
Replied to my comment*
All these actors are Oscar worthy. This was a time of great movie productions.
Liberals have made a shambles of Hollywood. I wonder if it will ever recover. I doubt it. China is taking over and they will soon be forcing countries to bend to their will. They just did that with the pandemic. They created a virus. They let it loose. They covered it up. They forced the WHO to capitulate. And even Democrats in America. Amazing. China is going to be worse than Nazi Germany.
At least until the day we found out that we could create far more resonant characters using CGI like Jar Jar Binks.
@@jedijones Yes indeed! But how could they appear at a live event to receive their awards? 🤔 I have to check out Jar Jar Binks. I have no idea who that is. Thank you!
Honestly Sissy Spacek as Carrie is my favorite performance in a movie it was so believable and she honestly should have won
I agree!
Sissy's performance is one of my all time favorites. Heartfelt in a horror movie. A hard feat to accomplish.
I agree!
She was terrifying in that film!
I will never recover from her Zen zombie trance at The Black Prom. When she exits the prom inferno, it is utterly terrifying. Still remember the doors slamming closed behind her.
Talia Shire was REALLY upset.
no wonder. she had already been robbed when she didn't win in Godfather 2
She should’ve submitted herself for Best Supporting Actress
I saw that lol
Don't know why, she was rather forgettable in Rocky and hardly a match for Dunaway, Spacek or Liv Ullmann. Unless of course she wasn't a big fan of FD.
Dunaway was dynamite in the is film. The close ups of her in the control room watching Peter Finch (Howard Beale)...you could just see her mind racing that this madman equals ratings, and a boost to her career! The film is brilliant.
+Mike Bibeault Agree 100%. And it's funny besides. "UBS."
She is brilliant in the film. There was no doubt she would win the Oscar that year. She deserves more. So many great performances.
And her expression when Holden said, "Well, f... you, too."
Every single moment Faye Dunaway appeared onscreen in Network was flawless. amazing performance! what a legend.
Network. That was one crazy azz movie. Fantastic acting by all.
Understated, humble and reserved in accepting this great honour. Faye had the beauty to grace every decade of the 20th Century and possibly top them all. As perfect a face you'll ever see to match classic faced beauties like Garbo, Tierney, Lamarr, Kelly and Audrey Hepburn. Faye gets my vote for "the face" of the 1970s. What a great actress.
Exactly. Would be the most beautiful woman in any decade. Absolute goddess
too bad she was such a bitch to deal with. Ms. Bette Davis on The Tonight SHOW with Carson said that Ms. Dunaway was the rudest and most unprofessional actress she had ever worked with .
I was very happy about this win, but honestly I would've been just as pleased had Spacek taken home the prize.
She deserves way more love. Great actress
Faye amazing actress!! Totally deserved it, this and Chinatown and Bonnie and Clyde are her best performances by far
Ono - ONO!!!! "Mommy Dearest"!!!! :-)
@@libertygiveme1987 Calm down fool. By the way, Dunaway's performance is brilliant in Mommie Dearest.
She’s great in Little Big Man
She is such a good actress! Loved her acting in Network and her speech in this video.
This movie thoroughly deserved its awards, superb .
Its message today is as relevant now as it ever was !!!
NETWORK is a must see-its message is powerful !
I think Faye looks like Kate Moss
She used to,now she looks like Serbian drag queen performer Karamela.
On her worst day she looks better than you.
sigmund grizli Seems rather ridiculous to talk about the inevitability of age. You'll be old too one day.
cdgh99 no, honey. kate moss wishes she looked like Faye Dunaway
You mean the chick bones
Sissy Spacek in Carrie is one of the most legendary act in the fields of Horror Movies. She shouldve won
She should've won! Also in "In the bedroom" and the river
And Piper REALLY should have won!
amen
Have you even see Network? Faye Dunaway deserved this award. She is one of the great actresses.
Carrie was not a horror movie
all these gals look like they were mad as hell, and were Not gonna take it anymore.... ;)
Lol.
groofoot Or it could have just been resting bitch face. A lot of women have it where it seems like they’re mad but that’s not really the case at all.
@@Disneygirl3715 Hmmm🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 I'm not sure about the resting bitch face when it came to Talia Shire and Liv Ullman. Those two looked so pissed off. I think Talia thought she was going to win. And Liv couldn't hide her disappointment.
@@carrieanne3184 , actually I thought Liv had more of a poker face. You can see Talia's disappointment. She probably knew it was her one and only chance to get an Oscar.
Right???
The Oscars were "normal" back then by today's ridiculous standards. No fancy outlandish "glamorous" designers dresses, no hysterical fanatical thank-you speeches from winners who think they have saved the world or something equivalent, no overhype surrounding the nominated actors... everything was executed in a dignified fashion. The good old days.
correct! I read an brief article in W Magazine about Jaclyn Smith. And she said back in those days, there was no beauty crew, nor personal stylists. You had to do your own makeup and hair. What you saw then was what you got.
I hope you all realize that the 70s were made up of public outbursts at the Oscars, and that you're interpreting the simplicity of style for gracefulness. The Oscars grew publicly contentious during this decade. George C. Scott refused his Oscar! Brando sent Sacheen Littlefeather to lecture everyone about the treatment of American Indians, a streaker ran naked through the stage, Vanessa Redgrave called pro-Israeli protestors "anti-Zionist hoodlums," and Paddy Chayevsky told her off immediately following on air. Dustin Hoffman said he refused to believe he was better than his four competitors and that these types of competitions were silly (even if he accepted the award anyway.) If anything, Jane Fonda was given credit for NOT lecturing anyone on the Vietnam War when she won Best Actress in 1972 (for '71), and Charlie Chaplin getting a special award made up for the blacklisting he suffered, and the indignity of having his nominations canceled before the first Oscar ceremony. If anything, the Academy has grown more cautious, more controlling of its image, and expects everyone to behave. The 70s made everyone nervous, and since we have a five-second delay, we can no longer expect that type of misbehavior. We can only yearn for a good spontaneous moment. As far as I'm concerned, Michael Moore ranting about the Iraq War was a great moment in 2003, and we should have more of them.
Elgran Reyes Yes, all those things that you mentioned did happen, Elgran, but they happened out of sincerity- the people who committed those acts did so because they truly believed in what they were saying.
It wasn't simply a cynical ploy to get press.
There was an honesty to this time that simply does not exist today, and I think that is what the other commenters were trying to touch upon.
Elgran Reyes I agree. But what they DIDN'T do back then that they feel obligated to do now (and which is annoying as hell) is thank every person they ever met in their entire life.
+sawadee ya, but the ceremonies themselves were terrible...bad decorations, bad entertainment (well, this particular year with Pryor and Burstyn was ok), totally flat and outdated feel to them. Unfortunate, because they were honoring some great films
Ms Dunaway is one of the nicest, sweetest people I've ever known.
Faye Dunaway and Peter Finch won best actor and actress for the same film Network that year. Finch died of a heart attack 2 months before the Academy Awards on Faye Dunaway's 36th birthday. He had just appeared on Johnny Carson the night before and was scheduled to appear on Good Morning America that morning with Network's director Sidney Lumet when he had a heart attack at the Beverly Hills Hotel lobby. Lumet was there and tried to revive him to no avail.
I just realized all of the people she thanked are now deceased, with the exception of Robert Duvall.
Faye gave a terrific speech. Short. Sweet. Sincere. Perfect!
This moment should've happened almost a decade earlier for her in Bonnie and Clyde. She so deserved it for that movie over Katharine Hepburn in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?.
I'm happy to see that Faye Dunaway and William Holden were getting along at this point. When they previously worked together on The Towering Inferno, Faye's lateness caused Holden to push her against the wall and threaten her because he got so angry. There was worry there would be tension between the two when they worked on this film together, but Faye Dunaway actually noted that she was very pleased with how kind he was on the set of Network and the two ended up getting along quite well, seeing past their former differences. You can see Holden clapping and smiling for her as she goes up to get the award and it just makes me happy to know they reconciled.
Before she was even a star Dunaway was notorious for being late and in general acting like a diva. One of her early roles was in THE DISAPPEARANCE OF AIMEE where she appeared alongside Bette Davis and by the time filming was over Davis absolutely hated her.
Louise looked BREATHTAKING!!
loved her in mommie dearest and eyes of laura mars great actress of yesterday
Sissy Spacek looks beautiful!!!
Faye is one of my biggest inspirations. Adorable woman.
Wow. Faye Dunaway looks amazing here, and as always. She will remain one of my favorite actresses of all time, besides Joan Crawford. Joan Crawford was right on when she said that Faye Dunaway was the best actress to portray herself in a film!
Joan Crawford never said Faye was the best actress to portray her in a film. In the 1980 book Conversations with Joan Crawford, Joan states (allegedly because research into the author points to the book be fabricated) this, "Of all the actresses, to me, only Faye Dunaway has the talent and the class and the courage it takes to make a real star."
Faye Dunaway has great acting in Network.
My favorite woman acting in cinema
Wonderful actress
True!! She’s also phenomenal in Chinatown and Bonnie & Clyde
And a few hours later Terry O'Neill took that iconic photo of her, sitting beside the Beverley Hills Hotel swimming pool with the Oscar and a load of newspapers
Faye looks so stunning with that black gown :D
Did yaw see that shade Talia Shire threw at Faye Dunaway. The look on her face at 0:43
+Chris Gilrath Yo. Luved the rolling of the eyes.
+Chris Gilrath YES!:)
+Pe Callahan : Losing.
Chris Gilrath It was a look of disappointment
Edward89 xD
Gorgeous woman! I adore Faye
I like how they looked naturally glamorous. Bring back these looks.
an actress worth celebrating!
OMG I had no idea Sissy Spacek got an Academy nomination for Carrie!!! She should've won it!!!
She was too much of a newcomer and Carrie was a horror film so sadly she wasn’t gonna win. Her performance was iconic tho!
@@bryanalstoncoxing sure got h er a stellar career though !! Didn't she look even younger here than her real age.
deborah lariscy Yeah she looked very young, even though she was 26 or 27 she could pass for a teen
@@bryanalstoncoxing she was 25
Carrie was (and still is) one of my favorites, too. Though you should see Dunaway's work in Network and you might feel differently.
Talia Shire made Adrian a part of American culture. Every man wants and needs an Adrian at some point in their life.
Yo, Adrian!
It was somewhat of a surprise for Faye. At the time everyone thought Liv Ullmann would get it.
It was like everyone knew Faye would win but Liv should win
Ullman should have won. Talia shire rimase di merda
no, they knew she wouldnt. liv was famously always unpopular with the academy and always snubbed. but most people recognized that liv gave the best performance
No, not true at all. Everyone believed it would be either Dunaway or Ullmann. No one was surprised Dunaway won, it was expected. Her number was up after so many great performances.
Ullman or Spacek was more deserving---although Dunaway gave a very fine performance in Network.
I love her understated outfit and rumpled hair. Every actress has a glam squad now for every awards show and there is a sameness to all of them.
Who wouldn't be disappointed at being so close to winning an Oscar, Talia Shire was just being honest with her reaction, every loser smiled and clapped, but inside you know they were as upset her, shes just not afraid to show her disappointment,,,we love you Talia,your still a winner!
Yeah she was just disappointed that's all. It's not fair that you have to see their reaction because it forces them to give unnatural response.
It was the stress. You see it in Talia's face. Faye Dunaway said in an interview that Talia congratulated her with good cheer in person after the awards and was flattered when Faye told her she loved the movie Rocky. On a side note, had Talia been in the supporting actress category she probably would have won, even though I thought Piper Laurie deserved it.
Insane performance.... Created a magnificent presence with only words and her eyes. Legendary.
@ClassicFlicks The fact that you keep coming back, commenting on her winning performance in Network, means it's worth your time checking on it.
Faye Dunaway completely deserved the Oscar for her brilliant performance in this film.
Talia Shire looked so incredibly nervous, Sissy Spacek so beautiful!
Talia Shire was none too pleased ....
Faye Dunaway was fantastic!
So good in so many moments.
My favourite Faye movie was Three Days of the Condor with R Redford
What a beautiful woman and GREAT actor.
Faye, at least here, was classy, erudite, lovely, and humble.
What a line up, including the presenter. Pure class.
I love how the first nominee is sleeping until her name is called.
One of my favorite years.
She thanked her hairdresser and makeup 💄 artist. Quite refreshing as the two are excellent and can make or break an actor’s appearance onscreen. She had the best!
Very well deserved!! Her performance as Diana Christensen was immaculate!
a lovely and gracious acceptance speech so very free of the hyperventalting hysteria that clog the accpetance sppeches of today. brava miss dunaway!
she was dating Peter Wolf from the J. Geils Band at the time, lucky bastard
LOL, I wish Louise Fletcher had said "The Winner is La La Land".
😂😂😂
LMFAO!
Why are you here?
Lol
she is so beautiful and what an actress! she nailed that role!
And everything in the movie CAME TRUE
The screenwriter PADDY CHAYEVSKY was a visionary ahead of his time and I think he won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for NETWORK.
Network Marked Faye Dunaway First Oscar And Last Nomination Before She Completely Disappear From The Category. I Am Still Dissatisfied With Academy For Not Nominating Faye Dunaway For Her Potrayal Of Another Oscar Winner Joan Crawford In Mommie Dearest. I Still Don't Get The Point Why Faye Dunaway Received Razzie Nomination For Such A Superb Performance. The Role Is So Superior Till She Listed As 50 Greast Villain Of All Time By American Film Institute.
Her role is much better (and far memorable) in that movie than many oscar wining performances,and let's not forget,no one,absolutely no one could do this role better than her,fuck Meryl Streep,she would be far worse and bland in this movie,and that tells a lot.
A.S Alfred You must be a drag Queen!
Faye Dunaway has a reputation of being difficult to work with (like Debra Winger).
I think they're boty brilliant in their craft, but I guess difficulty to work limit has limited to what meaty award winning roles they have been offered
Probably the most beautiful classic looking actress after the legendary Golden Age of Hollywood actresses. Perhaps only Natalie Wood and Raquel Welch of the 1960s at the same time could take that honour from Faye. Network was a fantastic film and a well deserved Oscar win.
Most beautiful woman of all time for me. She was incredible
Talia Shire was obviously cheering for Faye Dunaway to win
Obviously, since Shire is a talentless actress.
i want stallone to direct a movie with Adrien Lester just so he can shout at the oscars
Eureka Opium not really but okay
Faye looks flawless. Faye one of the iconic beauties of the 1970's along with Raquel Welch and Farrah Fawcett.
nymet2454 Farrah Fawcett? you have got to be kidding!
@@gattopardodilampeduza3211 she was beautiful
Everyone loved Jane Fonda but for 70s actress my favorite is dunaway. She is so beautiful in Chinatown.
Faye should have won for Bonnie & Clyde, and Chinatown. She should have had at least 2 Oscars.
Mommie Dearest?
@@radentstwo9793 I think Mommie Dearest may hv been too camp for the Academy. Faye's performance was deemed "over the top" by some critics
Liv Ullmann wrote in her book about that night. She's an amazing person.
THE FACE OF THALIA SHIRE WAS A POEM.
"I didnt expect this to happen quite yet, but I do thank you very much and I'm very grateful" I like that. Short, succinct Oscar speeches. Remember those?
Two of my favorite actresses, Sissy Spacek and Faye Dunaway!
Carrie ♥
Faye was chilling in Network. I think William Holden’s character called her character Diana a humanoid or something. They don’t make stars like her anymore!
How gorgeous these ladies were.
Joan Crawford apparently said so herself that Faye was one of her favourite and most gifted actresses of her time.
Talia Shire.......If looks could kill!
Rick Mileske yeah xD
Yo Adrian !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Why did they put me in this line-up?IN SUPPORTING (WHERE I WOULD BELONG) I MIGHT HAVE WON!"
Like she had a chance.
Talia shire looked PISSED! LOL!!
Faye was great in that movie.
Marie Christine reminded me when I was a kid and in the middle of the class while I was sleeping the teacher call my name and have to abruptly wake up. Suuuuuure the same thing happened here
I always thought Liv Ullmann should have won this. I remember being shocked when she wasn't annouced as the winner.
Also at 0:43 was Talia relieved that she didn't won or was on bitchy mood ? God, I love these 70s oscar presentations, they're a hot mess, a lot of mixed feelings seems to be happening at the same time LOL
her husband wrote the music for Farewell My Lovely absolutely gorgeous music
leon kane IDK what posses Ms Shire to think that she was Oscar worthy? is that girl Crazy!
Leon Kane yeah
I think she was just nervous, it seems like she was relieved that she didn't have to go up there. I think she thought there was a good chance she would win.
I think she was a little bit upset that she did not win. Remember she was nominated before and should have won for the Godfather. Problem is the Academy is too political with its decisions over who should and when they should win.
Wow she is really gorgeous😍😍😍... but i would love to see Sissy taking it.
Why was there such a controversy to her saying “ I didn’t expect this quite yet “ ?
Liv Ullman's performance was truly phenomenal.
It would be so hard for me to pick between Dunaway and Liv Ullman that year. Two of the best performances ever given.
Faye is so beautiful ❤️ this was before my time I was born in 1983
Don't understand why Talia Shire looked so pissed off--like anyone thought SHE would win it??? It was a given that Faye would take the Oscar that year for Network.
She should have said=- "I'm Happy as Hell and I am not going to take it anymore" Network was a great Movie- way, way ahead of its time. Faye Dunaway was great in Network.
I don't if any of the Winners of Network became critical of TV and told people to Stop Watching TV all the Time and read some books once in a while.
She was such a remarkable actor in this movie. Diane Christensen is one of my favourite fictional character ever.
Faye Dunaway was great in Network. She deserved it!
Exactly, she showed every harsh emotion imaginable. Network is awesome!
