What’s beautiful about this clip that I’m now realizing years later after rewatching a million times…is she’s pointing to Denzel Washington. Denzel also took home Best Male Actor that night; first time in history that two Black Actors won in their respective leading category. It’s almost as if they were the only two in the room… acknowledging the historical moment, sacrifices, and struggles they’ve endured to get there. And for a moment they weep.

Finally, comments are on. So proud of Halle, waiting to see her next nomination ❤

Russell Crowe, what a gentleman....he saw her being overwhelmed and took her in his arms and you could feel him giving her words of encouragement and support I promise you that's what he said....love that

I go back to this scene on a regular basis .It is beautiful.

Nicole's reaction to Halle's emotion is beautiful

I was Soooooo rooting for her, and was so happy she won

Her speech is just the best! History making legend

This must have been the best feeling

I ALWAYS cry when I watch this...😢❤

She deserve this win. That movie made me cry and so many ways. It was a brilliant performance all around and let's just be honest, who doesn't love Halle Berry?

I think people at the time read this as just her being emotional and not her feeling the weight of this moment. A door was opened but we’re still waiting for someone to walk through it.

I didn’t know people made fun of this when Eric Bennett was cheating on her at the time so this award was shocking to her while she was going through a big heartbreak

Who’s here bc of the Cleveland show?

I remember this moment. It means so much now. Especially her speech. Love her❤

Even tho ppl were predicting Halle would win, she didn't give herself much of a chance. Sissy Spacek had won all the precursor awards until SAG award when Halle pulled out a win. And Nicole was coming on strong during the last week or two of Oscar voting according to anonymous Academy voters. Halle is nothing but Pure Raw Emotions here but she composes herself to tick off important ppl in her speech. Look how Nicole and Renee are visibly moved by Halle's raw emotions. In a way many moviegoers are still waiting for Halle to find another project as strong as Monsters Ball cuz it just hasn't happened

the dress and that hair 🔥🔥

I saw this live back in the day and had no idea of the significance for being too little, but watching it now, isn’t it amazing the she won in a nominated group of Unitedstatian, British and Australian white women? Wow.

I don't no if i will steal be around to see that happen again what a moment halle is a living doll i liked when they use to say envelope please . 5:38

This still makes me cry 2024 the tears are rolling . 4:18

I always knew Halle was capable of giving a great performance if given the right material and opportunity. I saw her in this lil seen movie called "Losing Isaiah" in 1995? acting alongside Jessica Lange, and Lange is no slouch in the acting dept, but Halle holds her own in every scene that really blew my mind she was capable of pulling off a performance like that. Fortunately Monsters Ball gave her another chance to be seen and heard by everyone and she took it

Я не знаю английский,но плачу с ней,каждый раз,когда смотрю это!!!

If I ever need a good cry, I watch Halle Berry winning at the Oscars. She is so overcome with disbelief and joy, she doesn’t know what to do! She was so overwhelmed by the moment, her whole body was trembling…. My favorite Oscar moment of all time! ❤️🫵🏽

Such an iconic moment

И я плачу вместе с ней...

Well Deserved win!!

0:08 Here comes the music called; “Broken Up and Blue” by Red Meat.

I am so glad she won.

love how she looks terrified when they announce

Thank god Sidney Poitier was alive to see this moment by himself.

Ана потрясаюшая актриса

And Russel Crowe ❤❤❤

What Russel Trippin about: he got to hug Ms B Dangit!

Como una puede creer que un actor o una actriz tan buena como esta, este llorando de verdad.

If feel like that paranormal occurance on the set of Dorthy Dandridge where the og dress somehow fit Halle garnered her the Oscar win. That supernatural entity is the real hero

She was going through a heartbreak too cus Eric had been cheating on her & during the speech not only was she shocked & appreciative she was hurt 💔

Her mother from India and her father from Africa that means her family is 3 billion people

To this day!!

Congrats to Halle for this, a huge achievement but, this clip cracks me up so much, the announcer had me rolling around in tears ''Enemy- ENEMY- ANY- EEMMMYYYY-Award winning performance...'' Is it really that hard to pronounce? LOL

Halle Berry's dress is beautiful, it's one of my favourites.

Wow.She sure was emotional.Beautiful.Classy.Talented.

I agree with you 100%... I can't believe people are sitting here making jokes and saying it's fake. This little speech has me in tears at this very moment.. I was literally crying because I could feel every emotion she wanted to express.

This is the most touching moment of success. I cried watching this video. I love Halle

Sent chills down my body!!! You feel her passion and how she finally broke the barrier!!! GREAT SPEECH!! You go Halle!!!!!!

Very moving... but her face at 1:00... is absolutely hilarious.

OMG I cant believe I'm actually tearing up, that was truly heart felt...

It's remarkable to see people who's very job it is to be both graceful and composed reduced to moments of raw emotion beyond the professional confines of etiquette and decorum.

"This is the first Oscar for Halle Berry. She got raved reviews from her 1999 Enemy...Emeny...Enny...Emmy!! Award winning performance in the Lead and Introducing Dorothy Dandrich. -Love how she kept messing up on the words!

Oh, my. This brought tears to my eyes. I was literally crying. Groundbreaking moment indeed.

an amazing actress so beautiful inside and out she deserves that oscar!

Watch her Razzie Award speech, she really makes fun of herself! Love this girl.

Halle is a wonderful actress, she definatly deserved the oscar awards. That speech she made was so wonderful and beautiful.

amazing how she pulled it all together when it was time for props.

I was searching for such moments at the 81st academic awards and i accidentally ended up here, and u no wat i loved it........it was so beautifull SHE was soooo beautifull........i love u so much halle please continue on doing ur great work and hey that was a GREAT moment for african american actressess!!!! ..............

Oh yes. I remember this. I watched this live-I stayed up all night (I'm from germany) and I soooo wanted Nicole Kidman to win this Oscar.

Haters gonna always hate, she was very emotional and she have DAMN RIGHT to be, first African American woman to win an Oscar for Lead Actress, for not having anything written down and her overwhelmness she did an EXCELLENT job, i particularly LOVE how she mentioned other african american women actresses, Jada, Angela and Vivica, who im sure were very surprised and honored that she even mentioned their names...................so yall can hate all yall want to, HALLE IS THE SHIT!!!!!!!POINT BLANK

This is a Great Moment in History! I still cry when I watch it!

That dress is BEAUTIFUL.

Shes soo pretty. She made me cry.

Actually, Hattie McDaniel did make a little "drama" about it when she won her oscar. It was a big deal then, and it is now. There have only been three black females to win acting Oscars in 81 years, and the first two to win, McDaniel and Whoopi Goldberg were both for supporting roles. Anyway, Hattie, in her emotional speech said that she hoped that she'd be "a credit to her race."

WOW she was like super happy!

This is a Great moment in History! I still cry when I see it!

what movie was that dude? i need to check that out

I still get emotional when I see this! Great moment in History!

I was waiting for her to bring up the color of her skin.... what a surprise!

You obviously don't realize the power of the moment that comes from knowing the degrading history we've experienced or the sustaining legacy of those who overcome (so many I thought of as she mentioned those she could remember): Fredi Washington, Ethel Waters, Ethel Meyer, Beah Richards, Abbey Lincoln, Juanita Hall, Diane Sands...so many WONDERFUL actresses from even CLASSIC films, unrecognized...! ):(( I cried with her.

wow she made me cry!
