Hurts my heart knowing he died only a few months after this speech. I have such deep affection for Mr. Altman and his films. One of a kind.
Maybe that's why he avoided the ceremony for so many years. I mean, a guy like him definitely know when he will die.
a brilliant way of presenting this award by Tomlin and Streep. Well done and kudos to one of the greatest American directors ever
It was a takeoff on Prairie Home Companion.
@@sha11235 Well, it was a send up to a lot of his films. He's known for overlapping dialogue. It's Altmanesque. Brilliant.
I need Meryl and Lily in another movie together, they're so great
Seeing also Heath Ledger and Philip Seymour Hoffman, kinda makes you cry before hearing the speech...
Great man and director. Just watched the long goodbye, again. Class. We need more Altman's.
The closest to him is Paul Thomas Anderson 🙂
@@danbam3411 Yeah, Magnolia is heavily inspired by Altman's Short Cuts
Did I mention Nashville? Well, it bears repeating. Yes it does Ms. Tomlin. over and over again. One of the great cinematic achievements that deserves to be so much better known.
Robert Altman was an iconoclast. A maverick. My introduction to his style was MASH. As I became a cinephile, his movies were there as signposts of creating something unique. The multi-layered Nashville was mesmerizing in its scope and critique of the age. Hollywood needs the input of directors like Altman, Welles, etc. to bring a level of cinema that plays counterpoint to the pedestrian output.
Absolutely. Altman's essential, he held a mirror up to our culture, our institutions etc, and with depth, satire, and irony gave us that all encompassing glimpse into whatever cultural entity he was representing to us. He turned on it's ear the military(Mash), the western (McCabe and Mrs. Miller), the noir private eye (The Long Goodbye), country western scene (Nashville) thru Hollywood (The Player), etc...
What a brilliant filmmaker. He was my generation's Orson Welles. A true, one of a kind.
Side note- very cool Lennon pic.
"He's examined the minute particular of human behaviour and he's doing right now and he's dying for us" Great quote
Go Meryl
Seriously who couldn't like Meryl. She's not only the best actress ever but she's funny as hell.
Robert Altman
• Golden Palm - Best Picture (Cannes Film Festival): "M.A.S.H." (1970)
• Golden Bear - Best Picture (Berlin International Film Festival): "Buffalo Bill and the Indians, or Sitting Bull's History Lesson" (1976)
• Golden Lion - Best Picture (Venice Film Festival): "Short Cuts" (1993)
• Honorary Oscar (Academy Awards): "In recognition of a career that has repeatedly reinvented the art form and inspired filmmakers and audiences alike". (2006)
The Maestro at last receives his due from the Academy. The unique filmmaker of our lifetime. His shambling eloquence is beautiful.
Meryl was 57 that year, she looked like 37, AMAZING!
Ravishing! 😍
She's always looked good.
RIP and long live Robert Altman (February 20, 1925 - November 20, 2006), aged 81
You will always be remembered as a legend.
One of the greatest filmmakers in the history of cinema.
"stick to the script"
"i AM meryl ... oh my god!"
lol.
they are so funny together :)
I've only just begun to take a dive into his films, but man what a director. Nashville is incredible.
This was a most deserved award. He is really great!
Robert Altman independent until the end
He should already become an oscar for "Nashville" - one of the best US-american films ever made - in my opinion :-) even after 40 years it has not lost its deep meaning about modern society ... I am saying this from an european point of view :-)
i think it's just simply deserves to be called the greatest American film ever made.
I agree. This honorary one, is long, long overdue!
R.I.P. Robert Altman (1925-2006)
To those extolling the virtues of such luminaries as Spielberg and Scorsese in this thread: yes, they are great. And both have done more for film and television production than many film and teleivision producers. However, Altman has also directed for television--the brilliant series "Tanner '88," which broke through and broken ground for much of what we love on TV today--as well as the dramatic and operatic stage. It's an incomparably rich and varied career, and there is no question--none--that other directors would be grateful and honored to have many of Altman's so-called "failures" in their filmographies.
Spielberg and Scorsese are nowhere near Altman.
@@AA-sn9lz Correct, and I say that as an admirer or both. Altman made well over two dozen legitimately great films
@@J.S.3259 and Scorsese has 20. No need to rag on Scorsese, they are in fairly different ballparks as well
@@bobbymcfee2974It's almost disgusting that the Academy took until THE DEPARTED to award Scorsese Best Director!
ive always liked meryl streep, but today while watching "a prarie home companion", i decided im totally in love. what a beautiful, funny, unbelievably talented person.
... brings me to tears - he is such a great artist ...
i love Altman i miss him a lot he was a great fillmaker a GREAT filmmaker!
I love Robert Altman ! He's such a man !! I watched "Short Cuts" and I loved it !
I also adore how they flipped cam to catherine keener and amy adams toward the end of his speech-- their awed faces are exactly how I felt.
3 women changed my life. thank you, robert.
That's a wonderful speech. Such an icon.
That was the best presentation I ever seen.
No lie. I laughed my butt off!
If anyone has ever deserved it, then he ...
Still miss Bob to this day. I remember finding out his death in Nov 06. It was like a member of my family had died. His films , both the great ones and even many of his so-called flops have meant so much to me for over 20 years. Nice parody of Altman's famed overlapping dialogue by Streep & Tomlin in this clip.
and the great "McCabe&Mrs.Miller" with Julie Christie(Best Actress Oscar nominee for this performance) and Warren Beatty, great art direction, screemplay, ensemble class, cinematography, and musical score by Leonard Cohen
Meryl and Lily co host of the Oscars next year
finally! i've been waiting for this since it first aired. love these two! and mr altman too.
This is so funny, they are so all over the place and so true to the Altman formula that it just comes together. Brilliant.
i have been LOOKING for this forever! tomlin and streep on that stage is pure entertainment. its just brilliant! so good...loved it. and altman too of course ahahaha...don't ever take this down you!! please!
one of last HUGE filmmakers.
These two are amazing actors and well.... Funny! This is a great video!!!!!!
Will people ever realize what this men did to the world ?a complete Genius.
He influenced directors like Paul Thomas Anderson.
GORGEOUS MERYL!
RIP. A real artist.
Holy crap, does a master of film ever know how to be a master of speech. That was as brilliant as his movies.
Excellent!! Excellent!!! Thanks for posting!!!!!
I love them both so much. Buffalo bill and the Indians in particular for Altman makes my day and Lynch, pretty much everything
Haha this is hilarious!Meryl and Lily are a brilliant comedy team.And Meryl looks fuckin GORGEOUS!
I wish this clip included the incredible montage that preceded it. Whoever edited that really loves BREWSTER MCCLOUD and VINCENT & THEO, two of his most underrated works.
One of my directing heroes!
R.I.P. Mr. Altman
Love MASH and Gosford Park!
You were the greatest. RIP BOB.
THE PLAYER is the best
It ironical that his last film was about departures and death and he recieves this oscar that really represents his brilliant career reaching it's end. But Altman kept pushing the envolope til the end.
Meryl is hot here
Excellent. Thank you.
Meryl looks gorgoues there love her dress
this speech from Meryl and Lily is pretty funny
Great director big fan of his films. A shame he never won a competitive award
poor Altman, he said "it's not over" but at that point he never made another movie, prairie home companion was already finished, so in fact it was over.
Greatest film MCCABE & MRS. MILLER
they were just like sisters! like in the movie prairie come home. brilliant!
Poor Robert.. yes it was over.. your last movie was A Prairie.. amazing job, funny as hell in that speech. And THANKG GOD for Meryl Streep who is the classy and funnier woman on earth ! xx
just about the best presenters moment at any oscars
oh man, meryl is the best!
love this! love her, really :P lol
So awsome...... there is nothing more I can say about it..... Incredibly amazing......
It's a shame that he never won one competitive oscar
It's a freaking joke that he didn't.
neither did Sidney Lumet. Absolutely unreal.
That is what you'd consider what TV Tropes calls Harsher in Hindsight. But at least Altman was properly honored before his passing.
The best part of the show. So Altman and so funny
i love meryl to the max! forever!
good man - mash a great movie
These two are funny! Wonderful piece!
I love this!!!!!!!!!!
thanks buddy,
I love this sketch and Robert Altman is amazing!
Does anyone know where to find the sketch of Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt when presenting the oscar for clothing, it features Meryl Streep?
And I must say I loved this dress that Meryl is wearing!
Could have awarded him a real Oscar for Gosford Park - instead gave it to fucking Ron Howard. What a joke.
(Peter Jackson, David Lynch & Ridley Scott also nominated that year - all more deserving.)
lol998 .. Mulholland Drive - unique masterpiece. Fellowship of the Ring - genre defining turning point in franchise cinema history. Ron Howard gifted awards through generic Hollywood cronyism.
@@yeahiagree1070 by all means those are masterpieces you listed and it was a mistake to give Ron Howard THAT particular year. But by no means is Ron Howard an inferior filmmakers.
@@teacherfoodie That movie was an emotional cesspool of lies.
Fuckin' Long Goodbye, man...
That movie is brilliant.
meryl streep looks hot in here
Meryl and Lily are funnies!
ahahahha! I love when she goes it's all yours mommy, my mom calls me mom as a term of endearment
"stick to the script!"
"i AM meryl!"
lol.
they are so funny together :)
Wow, he died in November of the same year. RIP.
Like Sidney Lumet, he was nominated for 5 Best Director Oscars but never won. Philistines. His work will outlive that of everyone in the auditorium that evening.
thx
it used to be on youtube. i don't know if it still is.
Great director... died in 2006 too... this was it...
it is wonderful part ^_^
Aw there's Dolly!!! LOL, wasn't expecting her to just pop up there. Her and Lily are tight...And Meryl, love her very much, one of my favorites. Most award things like this I don't like, because they run and and no one gets it, but these two are workin it and the crowds likin it haha =)
Definitly ;)
yep
Meryl is the best ever!
hot, hotter, meryl :)
shes amazing
3 Women! Now we’re talkin about Peyote Popcorn 🌬
Brilliant film, with or without peyote. 😎
That's what I'm doing, making one long movie!
6:34 Joaquin Pheonix 14 years ago looks younger than today
Am I the only one in the world who loved Popeye?
Didn't even know Logan Roy was a filmmaker.
1:13 who's the dude in front of Ang Lee? He's so enthralled.
Hah, He was the President of The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences! So he probably was fanboying really hard watching Altman up there. He probably made the decision to give him the oscar :) Sid Ganis btw
Please educate me on how Goodfellas is formulaic.
@RuflessRecords You are being selective here. Nashville's approach to story telling was years ahead of its time. that multiple narrative format didn't become the norm again until the 90's. McCabe and Mrs Miller is brilliant too. I also like 'Short Cuts' and 'Images'
He did make a lot of crap though, i'll give you that, but when he was in top form, he was as good as just about anyone, at least in America anyway.
isnt that heath ledger at 3:36 ?
Oscars' queen handing the award to Oscars' biggest enemy
Wow pleasant and funny video !
I like Robert Altman !
Thanks for share ubuibiok !
5*****
Sisters? Well, yes, in the movie. But that hug looks more like lovers than sisters. What a pair they would make but Tomlin's wife and Streep's husband might object.
