Grey was bloody magnificent and deserved this and Pacino was not a supporting actor in Godfather. He obviously played a lead character.

@Gary DeBlasio Dude. You need to calm down and get over your preferred choice not winning. I know we feel upset when a certain film of actor or actress or director or composer etc. doesn't win that we think should have. But you just needed have to accept that they lost and just to let it go.

Joel Grey very definitely deserved to win. He was so damn BRILLIANT in Cabaret. One will never ever forget this movie!

It's a tough call, but I do think the Academy made a bold and ultimately correct decision here. All the other performances are absolutely accolade worthy, but Joel Grey's Emcee character is utterly transformative, original, influential, and iconic. Pop culture had simply never seen a character quite like it, and his performance's influence is still felt today.

If you haven’t seen Cabaret, it’s as brilliant as it is dark and depressing. It’s about a group of people who will never fit in to the “new world order”. It’s set in a sleazy nightclub in Berlin in 1931. Joel and Liza are both amazing. And everyone is beautiful. Even zee orchestra is beautiful.

@Trouble-Clef

It’s more about the growth of the Nazi party in Berlin. It starts with just a couple of unwanted Nazi’s in the audience at the beginning when they sing Willkommen, to a bunch at the end. And a whole lot goes on in between with the cabaret being the focal point.

Is Michael Corleone a supporting role?! I think, Vito Corleone IS a supporting role. The entire movie is about Michael's way from a boyscout to The Godfather.

Paramount didn't want the Best Actor votes split between him and Brando. So, instead, the Best Supporting Actor votes got split between Pacino, Caan, and Duvall. I certainly don't mean to say that Joel didn't deserve his win here, but I have to wonder if he would have won if he'd only had one of those three to compete with. And, of course, if you were going to only nominate one of them, which one?

I think we were too young to see that film, but the ushers didn't care because they flirted with us during the film and we giggled a lot. Hah. When was the last time a movie theater had ushers?

The musical genre is an acquired taste but the staging of Caberet is the way it should be done all musical numbers actually done on a stage of course save the chilling beer garden scene. The Godfather was the best film. Caberet is a great film but nearly 40 years later no one talks about it unless they’re talking about musicals and even then for some reason it’s not mentioned in the top 5. The Godfather was then and still now is considered one of greatest piece of filmmaking. As far performances go when you have 3 top flight in one movie the votes were of course split. Grey performance was outstanding and would have won I believe no matter what year it was given

Caan was great, Duvall was greater, Pacino was even greater, but Grey delivered the best and most deserving performance of the five, in my opinion.

One of the best performances ever given by an actor in a supporting role...

As an Academy voter, I would have to look at it this way. Al Pacino, James Caan, and Robert Duvall all had wonderful and outstanding performances, but those performances where mostly done in scenes featuring the other nominated actors. So I feel that they each were dependent on the other for producing the magic on screen. Joel, on the other hand went it alone, and shined on his own in that film. I would be hard pressed to pick a best within the Godfather crew since they had been so dependent on each other, so Joel is the easy out vote here because he does give an award worthy performance.

Imagine all these guys winning Oscars for The Godfather which in my opinion & in the opinions of many many more, they actually DID. Even after all these years, they have stood the test of time. You watch The Godfather for the umpteenth time & still get totally mesmerized by Michael, Santino & Tom. That's million times better than the Oscar itself. These guys are etched in history.

having studied the musical cabaret ive come to appreciate the character of the MC and his role. its alot more than just song and dance. he definitely deserved this award regardless of who he was against ( and i love me some godfather)

Yes yes yes...we all love the godfather. We all love Al pacino,Duvall and Caan.But this guy won. Get over it.It was a legendary performance.

a short but grateful speech. from a very talented actor

God Bless You Joel Grey!! Cabaret is my absolute favorite musical of all time.

what a talented man, like i mean look at him he looks so friendly

Awh the way liza looks so proud of him🥰

I was just reading Jennifer Grey's book about this moment, while she and her brother stayed at home watching on TV, so thought I would look it up. Amazing Joel won with the Godfather crowd there.

Joel Grey was one of the few people to win an OSCAR and a TONY for playing the same role. What a performance. What a film. I did a segment on him on my series. Check it out!

I love Joel! He's such a brilliant artist in everything he does and a really nice bloke too!

A few years after this award I was walking around the corner from work at 1345 ? Ave of the Americas and I noticed Mr Grey walking alone next to me. No bodyguards or paparazzi. !

Liza was ecstatic lol!

Great movie ! I recall Joel Grey walking past me off of Avenue of the America's a few years after he won this award....it was dark but I recognized him. Before paparazzi and bodyguards !

November 2021 , watching this and I think Joel Grey is invencible.

Robert Duvall looks pissed lol

Liza is just wonderful! She is so happy for her friend! They both deserved their awards. Most strange and extraordinary performances!

Wow ! great movie and Grey totally deserves this. Outstanding movie !!!

Wow. I forgot Cabaret was up against The Godfather. Maybe the three brilliant Godfather actors took votes from one another? Duvall Pacino and Caan for me were all part of one big ensemble cast. But Joel Grey had to center Cabaret otherwise it could have veered off in so many directions. I rarely say an actor deserves it when it comes to awards.. but Joel Grey did!

He is so sweet! And even though he is up against the amazing actors from godfather.. I think he deserved it the most!

One of the best performances ever!

Honestly, Joel Grey gives a weird, chilling, yet brilliant performance in Cabaret, but James Caan is incredible in The Godfather.

In the spring of 72 Cabaret had just opened in a movie theater in Wichita which was 30 miles from our hometown. Opening night was the Saturday of our Jr/Sr Prom. We wore our formal attire to go to the banquet but ditched the dance to go to Wichita to see Cabaret. (All our parents knew our plan) Going to our seats we realized that another group from our high school had done the same thing. But the movie was great and we had a great time and I was mesmerized by Liza's and Joel's performances.

Joel Grey more than earned that Oscar. Show some respect. Enough said.

He deserved that! When they wanted to make the movie the only way they could get permission was if they put Joel Grey, who played the emcee on Broadway, into the movie. You can see why when you watch it. I’ve seen it at least 30 times but probably more. It’s one of the best movies of all time! If you haven’t seen it you should. It’s about the growth of the Nazi party in Berlin in 1931, but the focal point of the movie is the cabaret and how it changes with the times. And everything about Cabaret applies today as much as it applied in 1931-1945. It’s a fabulous movie!!
