So many will come here today to watch Louis win that award, thanks for the memories. RIP. Will never forget his portrayal in An Officer and a Gentlemen, Cigar, Mayonnaise, don't know if Gossett had a nickname for Worley.

RIP LOU GOSSETT JR.⚘️May the Good Lord give your family strength and comfort❤

RIP Louis Gossett Jr.🙏

Rest In Eternal Peace Louis. Thank you for paving the way with quiet dignity and unrelenting grace. Forever indebted! 🤍

Yes, he deserved the win IMO, but all those actors were very very good in those roles.. In particular James Mason as the cool and scholarly opposing attorney/antagonist, and Robert Preston, who chews up the screen anytime he’s in a film..

You were so great Louis. Your presence will be never forgotten.

I just tear up any time I see images of Christopher Reeve like this. A classy, generous, considerate, and gracious performer and human being. I can only hope he has found peace and wellness in some isolated corner of the universe. We could have used him a little while longer in our corner to humanize the people who appear larger than life on our movie screens. Bless your dear and gentle soul, Chris, wherever you are.....😪😪😪

A legendary performance. Well deserved.

Dayyyumm skippy!! If ever a winner for "Best Supporting Actor" gave a better performance than Louis Gossett, Jr. did in that movie, one would be VERY hard-pressed to find another performance in ANY other movie that matches it. I was sooooooo happy to know that Louis won it, not only because the role was SUPERBLY done and he richly deserved it, but because Louis is a great guy, as well. (Note: I normally don't overly gush over a performance and/or individual, but Gossett's performance was the DI was/is rarified air in the history of acting, IMO.)

He was perfect in this role. I can't imagine anyone else doing as well for this particular movie. He deserved this Oscar

What a wonderful, classy man.

Gossett was the clear cut winner here. One of the best acting performances EVER ! He made you feel like you were there and he was in your face. His speaking and voice control throught this movie was spectacular. No slips no flaws, just perfection.

Such a classy, fine actor. RIP, sir.

Great movie, great performance! Rest in glorious peace Mr. Gossett.

I went to Marine Corps Boot Camp in 1986 and Senior Drill Instructor Johnson could have been Louis Gossett Jr and Vice Versa. LGJ without a doubt, in my opinion and experience, the best portrayal of a Marine Drill Instructor ever. The Oscar was for a perfect performance. RIP Sir.

He is such a handsome and elegant man

Truly a scholar and a gentlemen. RIP Lewis Gossett Jr. You will be missed.😢

Very humble.

One of the best performances ever! He's one of the finest actors 👏

I have loved all of his work of what I was made aware of. Sometime last year, I started looking more in depth into his more obscure and forgotten work. A simply brilliant actor and a good man, as shown here. Thank you Mr. Louis Gossett Jr.

Lou Gossett Jr. is truly a class act.

RIP to you SIR.

He totally deserved it, he played a phenomenal role as Foley.

One of the greatest characters in movie history portrayed by one of the best actors. A role he alone could have only done. Rest in peace Sir.

Gracious man and well deserved.

One of favourite movies. Rip Reeve.

A class act and tough to follow. Thank you for your dignity and courage to persevere

Truly sad he passed. He was a great actor, I've re-watched so many of his movies. RIP Louis

Lou had some real competition with The Great English actor James Mason. But that role of the Gunnery Sergeant was a perfect role written exactly for Lou, and the excellent story of how he digs character out of his recruits. And it came together perfectly. He indeed deserved it.

Rest in peace Louis! One of most iconic actors!

Crazy that he died on my birthday. I love his performance in this movie, and other work that he did in his career - a few months ago I watched him in an episode of “Picket Fences” during a first time watch of the series - he was outstanding. Rest in peace, Mr. Gossett. “Walk around, Seeger!!!”

He definitely deserved that oscar. His performance had me close to tears by the end.
