He was robbed of an Oscar in Sideways. Such a terrific performance. I’m glad he’s getting a lot of recognition for The Holdovers because he’s such an amazing and underrated actor.

He was fantastic but you have to understand that year you had Foxx for Ray, DiCaprio for The Aviator, who in my opinion, were better. The other nominees were Cheadle for Hotel Rwanda, Eastwood for Million Dollar Baby and Depp for Finding Neverland. All fantastic as well, although I would indeed swap Giammati for Depp.

Give this guy the Oscar. His character in The Holdovers was the most fully realized human on screen this year.

Fantastic show! There’s one scene early on that almost entirely ruined it for me. It’s a tar and feather scene that never happened in real life, and is totally unnecessary for the show, but if that’s the sort of thing that you can look past, the show is just incredible.

How can anyone not love this guy? He steals every scene he is in and is just a pleasure to watch in every role whether he is the lead or a supporting role. Billions was always watchable but I'm so happy it is over so we get to see him in more diverse roles. I loved seeing him in the insanity that is 30 coins season 2

I wish we heard about 'Lady in the Water' it is a gorgeous thought-provoking film. Paul Giamatti makes me cry playing Cleveland, that film made me look out for other performances of his.

If anything, he's OVERrated at this point!!

I absolutely love him. Definitely one of my top five actors. John Adam’s was my favorite before The Holdovers but it’s too difficult to pick a favorite overall.

When I saw Private Parts for the first time, I had no idea who he was, but his intensity had me hooked. I've been a fan of his ever since. Seems like a nice guy.

Truly, one of the greatest actors in the business. Sideways will forever be my favorite film of all time.

Leaving out 'The Illusionist' and his small but significant part in 'Downton Abbey' is a real shame, would welcome a part two!

@thisisit2082

Yes on Downton. He was absolutely fantastic in his arc.

Shame they skipped over his role in Private Parts. I think that role made him hugely popular because he was so funny in it. He had a way bigger role in that than he did in Saving Private Ryan.

Seriously, that was the only reason I clicked on the video. What a letdown 😂

I’ve sincerely daydreamed for years I could one day convey to him the life-changing impact his Pinot soliloquy in “Sideways” had on THIS slob’s life. 🤔 No joke. To this day, THAT scene (written by AP, NOT by Pickett) is thee single best acting performance of my five decades of avid film-watching. I made a critical relationship decision based on the profundity of the writing/unwitting self-metaphor and delivery by Paul. I’ll forever hold him (& A. Payne) on a pedestal for that ONE SCENE-a _real_ masterpiece. 🙏🤟

I’ll have to see that again

The Holdovers and Sideways nestled together in my top 3 movies of all time. 😅

Sideways was fantastic. Also probably Thomas Hayden Church's best role

It's guys like this that make me think I could make it as an actor...even today.

I love that he mentioned The Negotiator, on the surface just another star-vehicle action-thriller but one of my favourite films to watch when im bored, and Paul is so funny and entertaining in it for the short time he’s on-screen, great back-and-forth with Samuel L Jackson

About time we had a Giamatti theme vid!!! 😁😁😁

He’s funny! I love his voice!!

I like Paul Giamatti, it was nice Vanity Fair got to speak with him even though they only had access to a library to conduct in the interview in.

Does anybody remember him making a 1 minute cameo at the end of Spiderman? He was the Rhino. They never went anywhere with it for the next Spiderman but just seeing his face put a smile on mine. My favorite.....Sideways 100% 🙂

Give him the Oscar already!

Too bad he skipped "Love and Mercy." He was amazing as Dr. Eugene Landy. Brian Wilson said his performance terrified him because it was so accurate!

I met winemaker in Paso Robles, where Sideways was filmed. He told me that because of that Merlot line; Merlot sales plummeted lol

WIN WIN was amazing!!!

AMAZING 😂😂😂 I think he uses that word more than me and that's like....totally amazing!!! What a guy! One of Hollywood's true gentlemen. Straight down the line lovely, down to earth guy. I love Payne's movies and his turn in Sideway's will always be my favourite but I need to watch a lot more of his stuff. This is a brilliant short on a great actor and all round great bloke.

Paul Giamatti is so fun to watch, I wish this had gone on for an hour. It’s too bad he didn’t talk about the Ides of March, I’d love his take on working with the equally great Phillip Seymour Hoffman. After watching it I thought, “The whole movie should be about those two guys. Forget the movie stars and just focus on those guys. Well, maybe someday they’ll make another movie together just the two of them.” It wasn’t to be.

Warmed my heart hearing he’s a horror fan. He’s also excellent in the John Dies at the end movie

Started rewatching John Adams for like the 4th time yesterday, and then I see this pop up on youtube. Anyways Paul Giamatti is such a great actor, he elevates any media he's in.

He’s had SUCH a versatile career. So underrated.

How could you not ask him about the illusionist

If we can get a Dan Stevens James Bond with Giamatti as a villain I might re-think my 'Brosnan was the best Bond' stance lol.

He was a bit then a character actor in a number of things but starring in American Splendor catapulted him to Discerning Film-watchers Stardom thanks to a breakout, magnificent performance. He cemented that reputation in Sideways the very next year.

He is one of the best. Always been a fan. This is awesome.

Lodge 49 is amazing. I really wish it could have got more seasons 😢

LOVE this guy.

Why didn’t they show Private Parts??

How did they skip Private Parts?

Shout out to any fans of The Chris Gethard Show watching this video and remembering one of the best and lesser-known moments in television history

His voice is a incredibly comforting! He would be perfect for some audio books

One of my favourite actors. A real talent, down to earth and funny. Sideways is in my top 10 best movies. He is also brilliant in Private Parts and The Illusionist.

Another president he played - voicing Theodore Roosevelt in Ken Burns' documentary series: 'Speak softly and carry a big stick - you will go far.'

He had a bit part in the 1992 film SINGLES starring Matt Dillon & Bridget Fonda.

Generational talent.

Amazing actor!

He's fantastic in 30 Coins. Hope there's a third season!

Missing Private Parts. "Dubya enn-be-see!" Sideways and American Splendor is gold, though.
