Wonderful and great stars James Stewart and kim Novak,magnifiques.
Where was that standing O???? The hell is wrong with these people...
Kim novak a real star
Vertigo is my second favorite film and if one could be objective about these things, the best film ever made and a lot of that is of course due to the filmmakers from Hitchcock on down, but it’s also very much thanks to these two. RIP James, thank you Kim.

I disagree. Undoubtedly vertigo is a strong film, but there are flaws that I think keep it from being GOAT tier. First is the pacing. The pacing is too slow at times (especially in the 2nd and 4th “acts”) and the overall runtime I don’t think is quite justified, considering it turned out to be a complex mutter mystery. I runtime of say 1 hour 55 minutes would’ve probably been better. I also think the climax and resolution. Undoubtedly it’s a strong resolution for Jimmy stewart and Kim novak’s characters? However, we see nothing with key parts of the story. The husband and jimmy Stewart’s best friend who planned this elaborate murder isn’t even featured in the resolution. I don’t feel that is warranted and a scene with jimmy stewart and him at the end would’ve added a lot. Midge’s character also seemingly disappears. Compare this with the ending of rear window, which I believe is Hitchcock’s strongest film. I won’t get too specific if you haven’t seen it, but we not only have a satisfying resolution for the male and female leads of rear window, but also all of the other people around the neighborhood that we’ve seen throughout the film.
Dafuq?? No standing ovation?

Understatement
One of the most deserved oscars ever.
Really enjoyed the banter between Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak. What a class act both are & Kim is still has that sultry come-hither voice. So glad that she stood up to Cohn who wanted to change her last name. She also challenged the racial norms of the day by dating black men. She was too independent and too good a person for the Hollywood sexist bullies of the 1960-1980s. So smart to remove herself from all that!
Poor Kim didn’t get a standing ovation in 2014… instead she was treated poorly!!

I’ve rarely heard this movie Bird mentioned since this! Kim looking fiiiiiiine and Jimmy as great as ever😻
Bird won Best Sound without getting any other nominations. That’s rare. It happened again in 1992 when The Last of the Mohicans won.
Amazing apresentation. Also the music here.
Bird
Yes, I love Vertigo too though at the time Hitch hated it & thought it one of his worst. Kim Novak was lovely in it & Jimmy, well, what can we say......he is & was considered Hollywood's finest actors. This is wonderful to see but I agree, no standing ovation? Why not? I would have stood especially for Jimmy & Kim, what a knockout in that dress. Don't forget they also made "Bell, Book & Candle" together too.

When I see those 2 I think "Bell, Book and Candle", not "Vertigo".
This was well deserved. Bird should've received Best Director for Clint Eastwood and Best Actor for Forest Whittaker.
I'll bet they wanted Stewart to present a major award but he just couldn't stay up that late. I mean, you don't just call the guy and say "we want you to present Best Sound Mixing with Kim Novak".
You could see at this point that Stewart was on the decline. Kinda sad really considering the bridging of generations in Hollywood

It's hard to understand why James Stewart quit Hollywood in 1993 for good.
Kim must have thought she was being pranked. How much did they have to read other than the word 'bird'. Looked like warren beatty.
