And if you're honestly saying you didn't even like Parasite then I don't know what else to tell you, other than say, watch movies with a more open mind. Sometimes we love one era in cinema more than another. But keep in mind that a lot of the revered films of the past do all kinds of things that would get them eviscerated by critics if they had been released today. Films released in our era come under a more challenging microscope because of the past films they get compared against and that is why they should be judged fairly.

I got chills listening to the nominees. All are great actors in great films.

What is most important about this video is that it reminds one of the fact that Christopher Walken is a legitimate actor. His acting skills have been muddled by lazy comedies ("Balls Of Fury"), eccentric caricatures ("The Stepford Wives" remake) and random cameos ("Gigli," anyone?). Even the "Cowbell" sketch from SNL has lost it's magic due to it being quoted constantly (that's my opinion, so don't crucify me). That being said, this man is amazing. Whether he's the tragic man who is cursed to see others futures like in "The Dead Zone," or the semi-sane dog-napper from "Seven Psychopaths," or the brutal gangster from "King Of New York," or seeing him square off with Dennis Hopper in "True Romance." My point is Christopher Walkens a damn good actor.

well deserved Oscar for Christopher Walken in "The Deer Hunter".

Dang, when he got up.....I though, "what s tall and handsome man!" Would love to be on the receiving end of that walk! Which translates to.....to have a beautiful man like that walk towards you....love those eyes and that VOICE! His speaking in that "pause-mode" is so unique. I just love it! Love, CWalken!💕💕💕💕💕

1979 Dyan Cannon, still gorgeous & beautifully vivacious. Telly Savalas, legendary TV stud. Last but not least. Christopher Walken, becoming a legend in his own right.

He is an genius and we should have seen him do more of these kinds of roles!!!!!!!!

*Christopher Walken Yeah!* *Favorite Actor!* *Deer Hunter favorite film*

He brings so much to every movie he's in. An amazing guy.

Ahh! The good ole days Nice actors Great movies

Wow look how young they all were. Time goes by so fast when you get older. Awesome movie The Deer Hunter, glad he won.

Well deserved. Bravo! Keep on dancing and being so incredibly, fantastically the the lovely Walken that is well loved to this day and for ever, by all.

I wish people would stop calling Walken weird. I don't see weirdness. I understand the difference in the way he talks. But that is his unique style. I don't find him scary or even threatening. He has very unique and beautiful eyes that are very expressive. When he walked up on stage to receive his award I said to myself, " damn, that is one tall and good-looking man"! Extremely sexy! He was outstanding as Nick in The Deer Hunter. Love you, Chris!!!💕💕💕💕💕

I just watched this for the first time tonight because my BF wanted me to see it since I hadn't. It was very hard to watch and I had a "moment" because I realized that tomorrow, August 13, is the anniversary of my cousin KIA in Vietnam. Christopher Walken deserved that Oscar.

Nick breaking down in the hospital made me feel like crying myself.

Anyone remember this quote? "THE ICE. IS. GONNA' BREAK!" 🧊🥶 🥅🏒

Love the deer hunter , one of the best cast ever , he was amazing in it ,,, one shot

it was one of those performances which usually get ignored by Academy, but 1978 was spot on. Hurt was close but the roulette and torture scenes in DH were actors gold and Walken stepped up. Walken subsequently took his daddies watch and he said "no greasy slope was ever gonna take his daddies watch"...

Awesome clip. Thank you.

He deserved that Oscar! He was amazing in that move. I love Christopher Walken. My son does really good impression of him 😆

The speech was missing one thing.! More COW BELL!!!!☖☖☖

God,,,, that was such an EXCELLENT movie....

Wow, it's amazing how young Walken is.

And was still 15 years too old for the part, but, yeah, he was very good. When my uncle, who was in Vietnam, saw the movie, I asked him what he thought. The first thing he said was, "They were all too old, but it was good."

@@anam3704 Well, late 20s is beyond draft age for sure. De Niro was mid-30s. Could three 30-year-old buddies all decide to join the Army together during the height of Vietnam? I guess. But, like the song says, the average age of the combat soldier in Vietnam was 19. My uncle was 18 when he was drafted, 19 when he went over and a 20-year-old buck sergeant when he came back.

My favourite actor and my favourite film of ALL time.

Transcription of the speech: "You know..."

If I won a Oscar and going up to receive the award, I’d be scared out of my mind, no matter how famous u are, ur heart is just pounding

My favorite actor of all time

I LOOOOOVE CHRIS WALKEN! And everybody in the deer hunter that movie was just so phenomenal

He so deserved the Oscar.

Man, they also played "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You", which is the song they sang in the movie.

That was classy!

The most amazing, disturbing, fantastic movie I ever watched.

Back when Oscars were really worth watching!

He gave an absolutely stunning performance

RIP John Hurt

When Christopher Walken first gets his name called, he looked like he wasn't even listening lol. Look how his head just perks up right when he hears his name

❤️Christopher Walken “ The Deer Hunter “

The best movie performance ever and what a fantastic movie.

great actor

Christopher Walken displayed grace, class, and elegance in accepting his much deserved award. It's a pity to see how low-class the Oscars have become today. I'm sure there was tension and dislike among some of the actors even back then, but they had enough class to put their feelings aside for one night.

When winning an Oscar actually meant something.
