Braveheart is more then a Oscar movie. It is an Epic masterpiece in memory of a nineteen generation. Everybody knews. It is a piece of the Hollywood movie History.

RIP Sidney Poitier (February 20, 1927 - January 6, 2022), aged 94 And RIP Alan Ladd Jr. (October 22, 1937 - March 2, 2022), aged 84 You both will be remembered as legends.

It deserved best director, best picture and best actor. But they'll never give 3 oscars to one man in one night. Those fight scenes were by far some of the best directed scenes in history of cinema.

I can't understand why Mel Gibson is so underrated as an actor, his performance wasso powerful in this film.

This is the best and most inspiring movie I have ever watched. I dont care what people say about Mel Gibson he is still one of the greatest actors to ever make films.

Best picture, message, story, everything!!!! No movie can ever say as much as this one!!! Freeeeedom!!!

I saw Braveheart 2 days ago (17/01/2020)!!! 25 years later best movie/music/directing ever...

Braveheart is probably on of the last "true epic " films ever made. Now most "epic" films are just a CGI lovefest

Braveheart is what introduced me to the Oscars and it was the film that inspired to be an actor and a filmmaker

Amen to Braveheart to one of my favorite movie of all time

"Braveheart" was such a great epic! Mel Gibson had done such a fantastic job both in front of and behind the camera! It deserved to win Best Picture that year.

Well deserved. One of the best movies of all time.

Braveheart is what helped me get to know the Oscars. It's because of Braveheart that it's now my dream to win an Oscar.

A well deserved standing ovation for a trailblazer and ice breaker indeed, Mr. Sidney Poitier. Rest in Peace and Rest in Power dear brother.❤❤❤❤💯🏆👍💪🙏✝️

Sense & Sensibility and Brave are fantastic movies but Braveheart is one of the best films of all-time.

So nice to see Alan Ladd Jr. get a well deserved Oscar to highlight his amazing career in film producing/leading studios. He's the man that tapped George Lucas to make Star Wars...he tapped Ridley Scott to make Alien and he told Mel it made sense for him to not only act in this movie (a given) but to direct it (not a given by any means). The man is responsible for basically greenlighting some of the best films in cinema history.

Still remember it like yesterday, first time seeing this movie in Ankara, capital of Turkey. I saw it for the first time and it has changed my life forever, i mean ever. Everything about the movie was just outstanding, the story, acting, script, scenery, music i mean everythin. I ended up going this movie in the same cinema more than 124 times over 3 years period. Thats right the move was shown in Ankara Bati Cinemas for no less than 132 weeks. 124 times went to see this movie in the cinema and never felt regret about it. Greatest ever

I think we can agree that 1995 was a great year for movies: Babe, Heat, Before Sunrise, Toy Story, A litlle Princess, La Haine, Braveheart, Dead Man Walking, Richard III, The Bridges of Madison County, Seven, Apollo 13. That's one hell of a year

Well deserved oscar for the best movie I ever seen made .

Greatest movie ever made! More spirit! More tears, on any screen. Let's never forget William Wallace and James Horner!

Braveheart is a masterpiece! An epic fucking masterpiece! There's nothin left to say.

should really of won best score as well.

"Braveheart" is a fantastic film, and I believe Mel Gibson deserves the Oscar for best actor, his role as William Wallace was great, but it was not even nominated

The main goal for every drama is to inspire. Braveheart accomplished this goal in one word: Freedom!

How culture has changed, Best Picture Always Gets A Standing Ovation Now!

2:49 - 2:57 Sidney Poitier: And the Oscar for Best Picture is presented to... (*opens the envelope*) ...Braveheart. Me: "FREEDOM!!!!!'" Braveheart will always be my #1 favorite movie (and #1 favorite Mel Gibson movie) of all-time. It's an epic masterpiece. Enough said.

2:56 That scream in the background Tells Everything....

In memory of Sidney Potier

3:39 Mel please hahahhahahaa You Directed it and starred in it, plus also produced it. I would say the spotlight only belongs to you. Braveheart is your baby dude. A true masterpiece of film making all time.

A truley Masterpiece-Braveheart Mel Gibson ❤️

Fun Fact: This is the only time when Braveheart is honored with "Best Picture of the Year". No other Critic or Award Ceremony awarded it their top prize.

Why the frick didn't Mel win for Best Actor as well?!

It's just a Heartfelt and Beautiful moment to hear the movie's name and then the music plays. Truly one of the best movies of all time. Very Deserving!!!!

Whoa!! I had no Idea it had to beat Apollo 13?! I'm glad, this was one of the few times the Oscar went where it deserved to go!

Heat, Se7en and The usual suspects should be nominated.

One of the greatest EPIC film of all time, and one of my favorite Mel Gibson movies. FREEEEEDOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!

Heat, The Usual Suspects and Se7en are miles better than all of the films nominated here, except Braveheart.

Braveheart is a masterpiece, perfectly directed and acted everybody did fantastic and it was executed without flaw, every time I hear the bagpipes playing the theme I get goosebumps it is my favorite movie and the best movie I've ever seen

As the music starts playing when Mel gets up to the stage I have massive goosebumps.

the first time i saw Braveheart i was blown away.still one of my favorite movies

this soundtrack is so epic, favourite movie of all time!

Braveheart🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🗡 best movie ever...best Historical Epic EVER

I honestly miss the times when movies like this could win the Best Picture Oscar. I miss the times when the main argument against most winners was ''that movie is too artsy'' and not ''that movie only won because of politics''. I miss the Oscars being about filmmaking.

I can't believe the Oscars actually got one right.

I finally got to watch it FULLY from start to finish last night. What a spectacular array of filmmaking.

RIP Alan Ladd Jnr. The man who really believed in Star Wars and fought hard to get the studio make it. At least he’s with his dad now

The best picture ever made!!!! That's it

Mel Gibson, Alan Ladd Jnr., and Bruce Davey. THANK YOU.

Amazing film, but I find it pretty criminal that Toy Story wasn’t even nominated. In the end though, I’m glad Braveheart won, easily one of the best films to win Best Picture.

Alan Ladd Jr. was the guy who green lite Star Wars. A legend.

"BRAVEHEART "- "ONE OF THE 'BEST' MOVIES EVER, IT HAS 'EVERYTHING '-ACTION, ROMANCE, LOVE, EXCITEMENT & OF 'COURSE, EVERY 'EMOTION ' - "FREEEEEDOM"-!!!..💯💯💯👍👍👍😘😍🥰❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹💋💋💋

2:33 George Miller wow, did you guys see it?

RIP Sidney Poitier

The best history shown on screen the best movie ever made. And Mel Gibson pulled a amazing Scottish accent. Watching that movie makes me proud to be Scottish

I love how humble Alan Ladd, Jr. was (all of them actually ) he was the true driving Force behind Braveheart and other emblematic movies like Star Wars&Blade Runner...He was the one who insisted that Mel should also star as William Wallace instead of a younger actor like Brad Pitt or Jason Patrick who were the main contenders for the part ...

Well deserved award.

Braveheart i the movie that i watch and watch and i still get angry, sad, upbeat and cry like a child but not in that order. Thank you Mr Gibson and all who made the best movie ever. 👏👏👏👏❤

goosebumps, right after Mel said wow

My nominees: - Braveheart - Dead Man Walking - Se7en - Toy Story - The Usual Suspects Winner: Braveheart Honorable Mentions - Leaving Las Vegas - Dead Man - Casino - Heat - Babe - Apollo 13 - 12 Monkeys

Braveheart is outstanding

Mel Gibson the perfect example of superstar.

Still a movie of inpiration for me in 2020

The film is one of the best period pieces I have seen. Amazing films

Thank you all you fantastic people ...,... Braveheart is a wonderful movie . 💙💚

Braveheart deserved best picture

of course, it's the music from Braveheart

I love the music that plays when Mel, Alan, and Bruce walk to the stage.

An incredibly deserved best picture. It deserved all its wins, but sad that James Horner didn’t win for the score too

Of all the Oscar’s this should have won. Best film score is it

Gibson was so the man back then. Grounded in his catholic faith, family, etc. Pray for him. This was a masterpiece. Semper Fi.

Braveheart captures the cry of every human soul’s longing to be free from bondage

The thing about Braveheart is that its like all the actors were specifically born to play their roles in this masterpiece,they were all amazing, perhaps the two greatist movies ever made is Braveheart and Amadeus,the true yardstick of great movies is,do you want to whatch it again and again and you allways which it was the first time

Toy Story should at least be nominated

Brave Heart the best movie. Thank you Gibson for this 👏

Deserves everything it got Braveheart what a movie and well done Mel gibbo lad

the best and most inspiring movie I've seen, well deserved the oscar.

Brave heart! wonderful movie

Brave heart doesn't Need oscar Oscar needs this movie

Completely agree. It's not like it's supposed to be Schindler's List. It's not about the Holocaust or tragedy. It's about the oppressed country of Scotland rising up and defeating England. It's an action/adventure film with great romance and drama. It is okay for it to take it's own liberties.

To this day, it is still the best movie

Braveheart is amazing. But what I can't understand even to this day is the fact that HEAT by Michael Mann and CASINO by Scorsese weren't nominated, I mean two Masterpieces of the 90's!

No matter what sins Mel Gibson may have committed, he deserved this moment! Very gracious of him not to hog the 45 seconds! Alan Ladd Jr. Is the son of a great actor from my Dad's era.

*At **3:07**, Oprah and Steadman (behind Meryl Streep) start clapping when they realize that the camera is on them!*

Totally agree. I really hope to see him get it back on his feet and show us one more time, what an amazing actor and director is.

After seeing Braveheart when it was released in Glasgow, Scotland, it inspired me to seek out books from the local library (pre-internet) and read up on my Scottish history. I learned so much. We were never really taught our Scottish history in school, save for a spider and an obscure Scottish king (Bruce) and scant few other morsels from our past. Why weren't we taught any Scottish history in school? for fear of what's taking place today in Scotland today - an awakening. London were afraid of the consequences of Scots learning about their history, their culture, their land, their heroes. Supressing and distorting information - what they do - meant they could cow us, rule us, disrespect us and rob us. The burgeoning of information from the internet has caused a stirring in Scotland, a desire to want what every nation on the planet desires; simply to govern itself. Let's start by Googling 'The Scottish Enlightenment' and quoting Voltaire: "It is to Scotland that we must look for our idea of civilisation." What happened to that Scotland? Nothing happened to it, except it was hidden, intentionally, expertly by the avaristic and bellligerent Westminster crew. No more. We have no quarrel with our English neighbours, a popular myth put-about by those threatened by the inevitability of Scottish independence, instead, we welcome everyone, every nationality, every race and every religion. Is it so wrong to want self-determination? Of course not, it's the most natural thing in the world. Welcome, everyone, to our wonderful country.

And I 100% agree with Mr. Ebert - Rest in peace. No doubt it was the movie that should've gotten Ron Howard his Oscar, and not "A Beautiful Mind" even though that movie was pretty good as well. At least he still got an Oscar, but "Apollo 13" is considered his greatest film, a very strong and powerful story.

At 2:11, when "Babe" is mentioned as one of the nominees, you can see George Miller (the film's producer) in the audience, and director Chris Noonan seated in front of him. How telling that they were not seated side-by-side. They had a bitter falling-out during the production, and Noonan accused Miller of trying to take all credit for the movie's success. That's why Miller directed the sequel himself instead of Noonan.

"Brave-Heart" is a truly Masterpiece "Your heart is free. Have the courage to follow it" (William Wallace)

I saw a documentary of 13 and watched the movie, and even some of the people who were there said 'these actors nailed it'! Whilst historians dismissed the movie Braveheart and called it a "Hollywood perversion of actual event". The characters were not in their true form. Wallace in the movie was inaccurate along with other characters in the movie as well.

I really enjoy and love the epic film Braveheart! "One of the best film by the great Mel Gibson", and I put the film with Gladiator, and Seven Samurai.

That movie was a great film in a great year; totally deserved it. I wished the Academy had that expanded Best Picture system back than, I would’ve loved to see The Usual Suspects, Dead Man Walking, Leaving Las Vegas, and Toy Story nominated.

LMAO! I thought Sidney Poitier was doing the moonwalk at 0:29. I had to play it a few times to make sure. :D

That was a great film. It deserved to clean up the Oscars in everything. Cinematography, musical score, best actor, best set and costume design, EVERYTHING! .......HOLLYWOOD SOMETIMES BLOWS MY MIND IN HOW MUCH THEY OVERLOOK. And while I am at it I'll say this ..Mel Gibson has been one of the most underrated actors and directors Hollywood has ever had. The guy is a bloody genius, so so talented. Maybe Mel would have got the recognition he deserved if had been buddies with Martin Scorsese. I won't say any more than that.

One of my favorite Best Picture winners, alongside Forrest Gump, The Artist, The Sound of Music, Titanic, Ben-Hur, The Godfather and Casablanca. If I have to list which is my most favorite or #1, I would say Braveheart!

and director! Braveheart is one of the best movies i ever seen!

Braveheart has great producing.

Braveheart winning I 200% agree with what I don’t agree with is how heat didn’t get nominated for best picture and babe did

My favorite movie all the times Braveheart Hollywood not make kind of movie anymore

I can't believe Heat,Se7en,and The Usual Suspect didn't even nominated...

In memory of Alan Ladd Jr.
