Back in the day .... when Nicolas Cage was married to Patricia Arquette. Brad Pitt was dating Gwyneth Paltrow. Tom Cruise was married to Nicole Kidman. Susan Sarandon together with her partner Tim Robinson. Emma Thompson was still married to Kenneth Branagh. Mira Sorvino dating Quentin Tarantino. Dude, did I miss anything out?

She was so amazing, super intelligence, bold on the political jabs, quick on the jokes, you had to be bright to catch some of them. I remember this. So happy to see it.

Wow Whoopi slayed the opening monologue and even threw some shade at David Letterman for hosting the 1995 Oscars, which was very, very, very boring.
I'm sad that many of the stars I see in this video I don't ever see anymore today. I miss the 90's cinematic culture.

That entire red carpet was taped and edited. And later aired as the intro. I'm sure Oprah said hello to Tom Cruise, but Kidman was a nominee, so he was left out of the edit.

One thing that has not changed: Nicole Kidman still slaying it on the red carpet! ⚡
Omg watching this in 2017 is like peeking from a time warp. I was born in 1996, and it feels surreal. The couples attending together, Brad Pitt & Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman & Tom Cruise, Susan Sarandon & Tim Robbins, how many people still remember they were once together? Mel Gibson and Meryl Streep, Emma Thompson seemed so young. Oprah doing red carpet interview? And seeing Jackie Chan is definitely a pleasant surprise!
She should be asked to host again!

Man the 90's bring me back, I was 16 then and realize now we were sold into celebrity culture like Rumplestilskin's collateral.
I demand Whoopi to return as host in the oscars!..

Oprah was a red carpet interviewer! :D
On quincy jones changing the title of Apollo 13.... "Whitney HOUSTON, WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM!" LOL LOL LOL
The announcer called Laura Dern an Oscar winner at 1:22...which she wasn’t. Fast forward 24 years later & she got it 🏆
I like how Whoopi did two nods to last year, did you miss me, reference to Letterman bombing with the audience, and the Uma Oprah joke from last year.
WOW, that's the year when "Colors of the wind" was a still brandnew song ..
I've been waiting for this! Whoopi went IN on everybody. So funny. Thanks for uploading this!
wow, a Keith Richards "dead man walking" joke...22 years ago lmao
Omg. Kate winslet.
I strolled in on the red carpet and right when I passed Oprah, a whole phalanx of photographers snapped pictures of her. I ended up in the pictures which can be seen in her fashion pictures where she is wearing this stunning dress.
Imagine having to make those people laugh in a formal event she's a living legend..
wow - back before Oprah became a VIP of these award shows.

12:01 - The last classy and elegant person to play the agent.
I know that during the red carpet montage they use instrumentals of "That's Entertainment" and "Now Business Like Show Business" but what's the third song that they use from 3:09 to 5:55?

Despite I didn't agree with some awards that year, I swear that ceremony was the best one of Oscar history in terms of show, party and everything else.

Whoopi was amazing
Two things that are wrong about this clip: 1. Laura Dern doesn't have an Oscar 2. Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins were never married, and yet they called Tim, Susan's husband
Mannn times have changed. I wanna go back to 90s 😭
Although this was a weak year for nominees, the show was dynamite! One of the best ever, and Goldberg had a lot to do with that.
It looks like whoopi and Sharon stone wearing the same earrings. My first oscars ive watched by the way

I need to go back in 1990s. This brings soooooo many great and peaceful memories from from that era. Nowadays, with social media, I feel like I'm on a war front everyday. I used to laugh at my parents, reminiscing about the 70s and called them daydreamers. Now I understand their feelings. I would do anything to get back in the 90s. Best decade in my books.
Bring her back as host!!! Can someone please explain to me the Jesse Jackson reference?
