So true - Gregory Peck had a voice most men would envy and his 'image' was wholesome in a way PO'T's wasn't. I could imagine a certain discomfort with voting for LofA when there was a home-grown story that spoke of something that the US claimed or aspired to. For me, I've watched both films many times and admired them for many different reasons. Although I loved LofA which is a cinematic marvel, the story of Atticus Finch is the one that I hope fits one of my directions on my moral compass. What a pity one of the two wasn't released in 1964 - beating Rex Harrison, blustering his way through 'My Fair Lady' would have simplified things easily.

While apologising for having to pay thanks to his "noble steed", he reached into his pocket, opened a can of beer, and gave it to the camel - who downed it in one!! Letterman knew then he was simply outclassed!! 😊👍

Streep's wittiness encountering O'Toole's wittiness. Truly two grand professionals, human beings gathering. A match had been done, finally.

He gave a real Shakesperean speech, giving a monumental lesson on acting. A well deserved Oscar, and long overdue.

Peter O'Toole... A prime example of the old phrase "Gone, but not forgotten". He shall indeed be missed...

I once had the honor to shake his hand in Damascus

A pure genius of massive talent. It was Oscar's loss not to award him earlier in his career on so many deserving performances.

So glad Peter got his Oscar for which he accepted with grace. Nice also to see the collection of appreciative fellow British actors in attendance.

He will always be one of the greatest actors in film history.

What a great acceptance speech

No lecturing,no finger pointing,no `causes`,just pure class,elegance and humility.

In some ways it's fitting. A best actor in one particular movie during a one particular year is one thing. An honorary Oscar is more befitting of a man who's legacy remains timeless , iconic over the many years Peter has shared his beauty within his craft. Truly extraordinary! I can only imagine the drunken stories of Peter, Finchey, Burton, Harris and Omar somewhere up there or down there but most probably within a hole in the wall drinking establishment in County Galway ..

"I'm not an actor, I'm a movie star"- Peter O'Toole, My Favorite Year

What a speech, incredible, that must be the best speech I've ever heard. Such a magnificent, talented actor. He was a legend. RIP Peter O'Toole

A remarkable rare talent. His BRILLIANCE is in every film. One of the BEST !

A true gentleman, more cant be said.

"They won't come for the money, they will come for me". A well deserved award but more than the award itself it's the well deserved recognition.

When Meryl Streep steps on stage to present an Honorary Academy Award, you know that someone must have done very good in life. And that great man deserved much more than -please forgive me- "only" an Honorary Oscar. R.I.P. Peter O'Toole!

He deserved every one of the Oscars he was nominated for. He was one of the greatest.

The score , the entry , the speech epitome of class and humility. They don't make those music and men anymore

I like women who are empathic to alcoholics, though I'm not sure his raging debaucheries always "class" or even humility. Chin chin.

Now thats what i call a speech .

THANKS SIR PETER O'TOOLE.....what a MAN...what a VOICE...What a FACE...

Being an Irish citizen he was not a Sir. He was, however, everything else you mentioned.

@@AntPDC You're right. He turned down a knighthood during the Margaret Thatcher era. He didn't agree with her policies. Fair enough.

great impromptu speech, so classy and elegant

O'Toole was brilliant in LAWRENCE OF ARABIA ...... he deserved to be noted, honored & awarded above all others.

His performance in Becket was one of the greatest I've ever watched. Wish they still made actors like that...hopefully they will make them again

Yeah something wrong with the actor factory in China probably the chip shortage must be...

Smart ass genius. Will always be long remembered

The RULING CLASS is one of the most out-of-left-field and astonishing films. In great part to Mr. O'Toole's incredible performance. So glad that the Academy finally thought it was time to acknowledge his great talent.

An incredible orator, actor & human being !

My favourite Oscar acceptance speech. May he rest in peace.

It is difficult to quantify talent, creativity, and appeal but he could be considered the best actor ever.

What a guy , and a fabulous actor a very funny and yet humble man .

R.I.P. Peter O'Toole (1932-2013)
