I don't put any stock in the Oscars choices whatsoever, I think they've awarded some straight up bad performances in the past. But even I'm baffled by how he didn't get an oscar for GF2 in particular. DDA also, though at least then I can understand wanting to award Nicholson. The 70s is easily my favourite decade in American cinema, so there really were a wealth of choices.

We all know by now that's a truly great. Great actors don't get recognized with most of their work with the appropriate amount of awards. I always go back to the example of John Wayne. One of greatest actors to have ever lived, and in his lifetime, he only got 1 award. It just goes to show that all that stuff is popularity, show it doesn't go to true talent.

Good job Sean for not telling Al's story "never give up your friends Dave"

I have a story about this wonderful person. He was my idol since I was very young. I was in NYC in 1999 for a business function and I heard that Al Pacino was performing on Broadway. I decided to stay an extra night and buy tickets to the the play. It was an amazing experience to see him perform LIVE. One of my favorite aspects of his talent is when he gets very angry and shouts his lines. Let me tell you, he did it several times in this play and I was in awe. Anyway, at the end of the play, I walked out of the theatre and there were plenty of people waiting outside. I realized that even if I decided to join the crowd, I would be nowhere near him as it must have been 10 feet wide either side. There was a car waiting on the street and I , assuming it was his car, approached the driver and asked if there was any way to meet Al as I wanted him to sign the Playbill. The driver told me to walk to the next intersection and if the traffic light turned red, he'd stop the car and Al will sign the Playbill. I didn't have much confidence in what he was saying but I decided to go ahead with his suggestion and walk to the next intersection. Sure enough, the car arrived at the intersection with a red traffic light, I approached the car and the window dropped and Al smiled and signed the Playbill. What a humble and kind human being. I'll never forget that 5 seconds I spent standing next to Al Pacino.

Al knows nothing but acting. He lived and lives for that. You can see him how much he loves acting when someone talks about his acting or he was awarded. His eyes lit up with smile in his face and still humble and feels shy always.

Amazing , .......Pacino doesn't know how great he is . A shy man, full of insecurities , meek, mild, humble , grateful . Al please know how great you truly are , you leave all the so called "great" actors for dead , and that includes Brando who was very good , but YOU were, and are, ..... even better than him .

Happy 80th birthday Al, you incredible legend. Thank you for all that you've given us.

Such an honest, brilliant, great man! I don't have words to describe him. Such humility and modesty is SO rare to find in a man who is a symbol of Classy Hollywood not only in the West but all over the world. No wonder he brings such depth of emotion to his character!

I've always Love Al Pachio. After seeing how thankful he is love him more congrads Al u the best

I was blessed beyond measure to see Al Pacino in two plays in New York about 30 years ago. One was a 2 man show, with Ben Gazarra, & the other was Salome. I've never seen anything that comes anywhere close to that kind of incredible talent in person (except when I saw Andrea Bocelli sing -- I think they're a tie! LOL). Pacino was MESMERIZING. This acceptance speech was so genuine & heartfelt & if it's even possible, it made me love Al all the more. Can't believe it's been ten years since this was made, but I'm glad I'm finally seeing it now. :) P.S. I was/am such a fan of Al Pacino that my dog was named Pacino and my cat Serpico. :)

AL PACINO IS ONE of a very, very few who can take a disastrous movie, play, or show into a Great Experience! Thx to AP.

sweetest smile ever? I think so. love Al Pacino.

It would be so tough not to love the wonderfully humble Al Pacino

Wow! great actor...beautiful Acceptance Speech.

It's amazing how Pacino often tells a story from which we can all learn something from it. Amazing actor and person!

Defenetively the most generous actor, most charismatique, most adorable and among the most gifted actors ever... Love you AL.

That's called a true Respect. What a journey of life. Respect.

One and only Al Pacino. He is a legend forever🔝 👑

How is he 81 this year 🤯 One of my favourite actors, such a inspiration, an idol of mine

Im crying he talked with all of his emotions, think it has something to do with family. But a true actor and gentleman, actors love and respect him.

Sean has been outstanding and underrated so often but He is just so fine a man and so great in this tribute. I respect him all the way!

Al pacino climbed up the ladder of life with great success became a number one amazing actor but still climbed down the ladder and still humble as hell and real
