Jack Nicholson is one of the few who can be called 'legend'

Fonda, Duvall and Hoffman are all legends. Intact Fonda gave Nicholson his big break in Easy Rider.

Jack could read the back of a cereal box and have everyone's full attention

And he did it even with his speech!

Jack Nicholson is a legend. Love him. And Billy Crystal the best Oscar host ever. Nobody has even come close to his performances as host. Those were the days

There is NOBODY like Jack Nicholson. He’s a delight to watch whether on film or as himself. I have to smile every time he speaks.

Still the coolest guy in the room! Miss seeing Jack on the big screen, hope he shows up again soon.

Fun fact: both times Nicholson won Best Actor, his co-lead won Best Actress for the same film - Louise Fletcher in One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and Helen Hunt in As Good as it Gets.

Oh to have actors and films of this caliber on the screen and at the Oscars again! I miss that feeling of watching greatness.

This was when the Oscar’s was good. Billy Crystal was always the host

...R.Duvall was great in Apostle , ...Big Oscar goes to him...❤❤❤

Those were all really good actors and movies wish they made more like that today

This acceptance speech will have you grinning from ear to ear

All praise and thanks and no politics the way it should be

What a performance by Jack Nicholson. Helen Hunt was amazing as well. Just a great film all around. Jim Brooks figured out a way to make a film about mental illness a very serious subject I say from experience enjoyable with tears and laughs great performances and wonderful music. And Jack again stole so many scenes!!! Thank you!

Life long Jack fan here and so glad he notched up this one. But I soooooooooo loved Bobby Duvall in 'The Apostle.' Great film, great performance!

“As good as it gets” is the perfect case story description of obsessive compulsive disorder and it turns out that real really can be the perfect reference for making scripts…:):):)

Three times Oscar winner Jack Nicholson dedicated his winning to Robert Mitchum, and the Academy never gave Mitchum an honorary Oscar, and didn't gave him an award for The Night of the Hunter in 1955. Shame on the Academy!

Jack & Robin... 2 deserving Oscars.

1. Duvall - transformative performance; 1997 critics' fave for Best Leading Actor 2. Fonda - echoes of father Henry; understated yet great 3. Hoffman - committed performance 4. Nicholson - can do this in his sleep; the role is interesting though 5. Damon - discovery of 1997 Hollywood film year despite having been acting for several years (including 1996's Courage Under Fire)

“Five Easy Pieces” is my favorite Jack Nicholson role.

Love this film watched it many times but Mr Nicholson that sweet little dog was the real star 🐶💖

A MUST SEE IS: AS GOOD AS IT GETS.

I miss him so much in films, it's crazy.

JACK!!!!!! Awesome actor!

Love the clips, thank you, what a quintet of brilliant performances.

Murderers' Row. And Matt Damon. No disrespect, they got Screenplay and Robin's first Oscar. But man. Duvall, Fonda, Dustin, Jack.

Remembering JT Walsh, that is class and a good friend

The way he ignored Hellen Hunt when standing up

Jack is my No1 actor

What a year!! Dustin Hoffman, Peter Fonda, Robert Duvall and Jack Nicholson, all running in the same category…

The cool man alive!

What a fantastic actor. They don’t make them like him anymore.

Matt Damon. Good Well Hunting. Robert Duvall. Peter Fonda. Dustin Huffman. Jack Nicholson. ......

As COOL as it gets.

Ohhhhh, so this is what movie stars used to be like.......

The last TRUE movie star. The likes of which we’ll never see again. Them days be LONG gone.

Jack was at a party in Hollywood one night and a woman asked "Would you like to dance Jack?" Jack said "Wrong verb honey!" and they weren't seen for the rest of the evening. 😊

Magic..lucky to see his career on Big Screens..

Back when Hollywood had class

Majority of those were good movies in my opinion. I can't always say with the list of nominees.

No one like Jack Nicholson, complete legend 😊

Jack is my favorite actor😘👍🎉

I would have voted for Robert Duval for his performance in the apostle which was brilliant but I also thought Nicholson was excellent in as good as it gets.

GREAT acceptance speech. Actually talked about the film and the people who helped him get the award. To all the future Academy winners - learn from this. NO POLITICS, no bullshit. Movie and people. Being an actor doesn’t grant you some special insights into politics - it just makes you an actor. Just like a doctor, lawyer, plumber, mechanic....you get what I mean.

I ❤ As Good As It Gets. It might be one of my favorite romcoms of all time. It's so New York City. Loved it. And it would nice if the Academy Awards can be as magical as it was in these days. Bring back Bill Conti's music (Oscar melodies). Make great movies again. Make Oscsrs Great Again.

This man is a national treasure, I just adore Jack.

I dragged my dad to see Five Easy Pieces because it was rated R and I couldn't get in without him. I worried that it would be porn, but it wasn't. When I was 16 I knew that Jack would be sigfnicant, and I was right.

...but he didn’t thank Helen Hunt. What’s up with that?

He does at 4:12, slips in "cast, Ms. Hunt" and they cue to her. But it is almost subtle and sounded like "Mister Hunt" or "Mist Hunt".

I still feel that Robert Duvall earned and deserved that Oscar for the Apostle. Just my opinion, of course.

Jack Nicholson as The Joker. 1989.

Listen to the announcer. As if anybody in the audience needed to know that. At the end of the day, the Academy Awards is a tv show. If there’s anything wrong with it, if there’s anything foundational to its failings, it’s this.

Unrepeatable artist

Robert Duvall should win every time he gets nominated.
