I agree, but his performance was quite short, in terms of on-screen time. Still managed to create one of the most iconic film characters, though, Ted Levine is a hugely underrated actor.

Demme's direction was absolutely perfect

If you want an example of how humble Demme was the acceptance speech, from his clear nervousness to his praise of the then crumbling Orion Pictures, is a perfect example. A well deserved win.RIP.

Oh wow, what a speech! You can just *tell* that he was a good person.

To everyone who's criticizing this speech, he didn't expect to win. And when he did win, he was nervous. He thanked those who came to his head, probably just had a vague idea of who he'd thank if he did win, but when he got up there, he didn't know how to say it, especially since he wanted to think not just the actors, but the people behind the film and the studio, which was going through bankruptcy, so he wanted to say something about them, and then to mention the new directors that came onto the seen just recently. As a result he says "Uh... um.... uh... oh..." a lot. He said a lot more than he anticipated as he didn't think he'd win.

Possibly my favorite movie of all time. And I was just watching "Philadelphia" for the umpteenth time a few days ago. I also love "Married to the Mob" and "Rachel Getting Married". Never actually saw this speech. Adorable. R.I.P. Jonathan Demme. A great loss for cinema and humanity.

I love this. Genuine emotion, great speech. Well deserved! ❤️ May he rest in peace.

Came here after finding out he passed away. Thank you Jonathan for giving us this intense suspenseful thriller. Enjoy the Fava beans in heaven.

What an incredible speech.

Only acceptance speech I have ever seen by a director where he manages to thank all of the important people on a film without a miss and also acknowledges his fellow nominees. Great speech. Nowadays music will be played regularly in an attempt to bleep his words out...

Poor guy, seems really nervous. He really deserved it though. I have found his direction to be very influential.

The way he uses the camera and framing in Silence of the Lambs is just second-to-none.

I have to say: the best acceptance speech ever, because I have been in Mr. Demme's shoes in terms of speaking in front of an audience and feeling nervous. Watching him was like watching myself perform, so I identify with his nerves at the time.

RIP Jonathan Demme (February 22, 1944 - April 26, 2017), aged 73 You will be remembered as a legend.

Tak Fuji Cinematography on SOTL is truly remarkable. *A masterclass in subjective camera*

The voice of Kevin is so cool

Descanse em Paz grande diretor.

The fact that he mentioned Ted Levine (whose remarkable performance as Buffalo Bill always gets overshadowed by Anthony's) and Brooke Smith (who played Catherine Martin and was NOT an actress) shows just the amount of respect and admiration he had for his co workers. He left us too early. RIP mr. Demme, who made us love the word "lamb" a little more.

Thank you Mr. Demme for your work

Agreed. Rachel Getting Married was absolutely wonderful. One of my all-time favorite American family dramas. Anne Hathaway deserved the Oscar,. Rosemarie Dewitt, Debra Winger ( nice comeback role ) and Bill Irwin deserved Oscar nominations.

RIP Johnathon demme (1944-2017)

To one of the greatest in film making, Jonathan Demme greatest strength is capturing the personalities of their characters and gave them body and soul. I frankly don't remember any directors who had this type of skill that could pull the right strings whether being fear or sorrow. Thank you John...you are still one of my favorite directors from the 20th century. We shall meet again. RIP

Give him a break. He just won the best possible award imaginable in his career. If you just won an Oscar, you'd be nervous too.

One of the few people at Disney was Miss Elaine Wilkes. And joining her were the real life Grammy winning married couple Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo who wrote the best song from October 1982: "Get Nervous" as well as the real life husband and wife married couple Philip Charles MacKenzie and Alison MacKenzie who wrote some books about giving people need a big break from all of those situations. For example, take a break from the US to live in Italy for years to come. That's what Alison MacKenzie and her son, Wil Harris did leave the US and enjoy traveling to Italy in their spare time like playing classical orchestras and instruments from around the world.

I think that year was very very close, happy that SILENCE won all BIG 5.

No Cpostner was the winning director for 90 (Dances With Wolves) and since he is also a star he presented the directing award.

The IMDB trivia page said John Singleton looked visibly angry when he lost, but it really doesn't look that way. It looks like he's giving him the "Ada-boy!" as they announced Jonathan Demme.

R.I.P. Jonathan :'(

I know the spotlight was on Hopkins and Foster for Silence of the Lambs, but Ted Levine was amazing!

He made the perfect film!

Kevin Costner received his nominations for Dances With Wolves less than a week before The Silence of the Lambs was released. There hasn't been a Best Picture winner since to have been released that early

There were some great nominees in this year for Best Director. After seeing "Silence..." take the Oscar for Best Actress, Actor, (and later Picture); there was no doubt that it was going to win Best Director.
