Rip may u have found the peace in death that you could not find in life rob.

He's a loser

She certainly plays British aristocracy so well, doesn't she?

Lauren Aston maybe because she plays it SO OFTEN!

It is never about how long you are onscreen, but about what you do during it.

less than 8 minutes

She does deserves several oscars!!

I think Kathy Bates was the best of the 5...

@@JunebugPresents Definitely. Dench won because she lost the leading actress Oscar the year before for Mrs. Brown when many had her as a lock for that award.

Judi Dench had a small role but she played it so well

Kathy Bates: “hold my Oscar.”

Didnt win that year. I didn't really think she needed to say what is so obvious to the rest of us.

That's nice of you,Aston how are you doing today?

Sameeee, i thought i had seen all of his award presenting and accepting videos, and so when i clicked play this one, it was solely because of Dame Judi Dench, and i certainly did not expect even for one tiny bit to see Robin Williams on the stage to announce the winner.

@@clemmyw.1967 Robin Williams was on stage because he won Best Supporting Actor previous year. The Oscar for Best Supporting Actress is usually presented by previous year's Best Supporting Actor winner

Me too!!!

Dude he doesn't know who you are. So hush. He don't care about you. Lol what a Democrat u are hahaha

And how many other comedians could have looked at that name and come up with that line? When you look at Ms. Dench's face, she knew she'd won; she was at the time the only Dame in the bunch.

That's the best thing ever. That's how you present the winner to a dame or sir

Still remember it today.

a powerful Elizabeth the first Shakespeare In Love

+Anthony Pakoulidis And Cate Blkanchett

Agree wholeheartedly. But add to your list Jessica Lange, Jessica Tandy, Charlotte Rampling, Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Kathy Bates and I would add Frances McDormand.

don't forget Emma Thompson!

Sophie Freeman Right! Loved In The Name Of The Father. I would add also Holly Hunter thanks to her magnificent turn in The Piano and Sissy Spacek who was riveting in both Carrie and Coal Miner's Daughter.

Diana Rigg,Helen Mirren,Helena Bonham Carter

Narciscynic the scene where she hit Caan with the sledgehammer was terrifying

The hobbling scene..

It's the mark of a phenomenal character and performance when the actor's name is synonymous with one specific role. I sometimes forget the character's name and just think 'Kathy Bates'.

If she still terrifies you it only proves she did a heck of a job

Especially that last scene.... In Misery...

So did Helen Mirren.

Oh did u know him. Thats so sweet

***** Believe it or not, Dench was not the respected actress she is now. This was only her second Oscar nomination, at age 64. She had been practically unheard of in the US until the previous year, when she got her first nomination for MRS. BROWN. Up until then, she had been mainly a mainstay on British television. But then in the new millennium, she got a slew of Oscar nominations: CHOCOLAT (2000), IRIS (2001), MRS. HENDERSON PRESENTS (2005), NOTES ON A SCANDAL (2006), PHILOMENA (2013). I guarantee you that if she were to win again, she would get a standing O.

+musicaltheatergeek79 Here's the thing about that though. Any actor/actress etc worth their salt, MAKES it their business to watch the performances of the best in the business - and arguably at the top of that list - Dench!

love the music too

I think his depression came about late in life, when his health began to suffer.

@@wylierRobin had Lewy Body Dementia from which depression is a side effect, such an awful disease.

Cate deserved more, i agree

Anyone could have played the roles of the actresses you mentioned and have done just a good a job. So what's your point.

She was certainly more deserving of her Oscar than Gweneth Paltrow (at least in my opinion).

JohnWesley Downey Yes, so much. So Humble !!! 👏👏👏

Iris as well

in the words of Katherine Hepburn herself that's very true

At least she's got an oscar

It’s all subjective

John Johnson d

Oh, viva Da Nang!

true

lorettalynn Davis u

hardly the role of a lifetime when you have less than 10 mins of screentime.

She played a Queen SEVERAL times!

I think it should have gone to Lynne Redgrave

Not exactly for Iris,Henderson and Notes because there were some even better performances in those years,but yes,she should've easily won for Mrs Brown over Helen Hunt's MEDIOCRE performance in As Good as it Gets.

gain al Yes very true. She certainly wasn't the best in 2001 and 2005 and rightfully lost but still they are winning performances. As for Notes on a Scandal, Helen Mirren certainly was very Very deserving but I believe that Dench's haunting lead performance was superior and should have won. But that's not what disappoints me. What disappoints me is that that Helen Mirren won every single award that year whereas Judi won absolutely nothing despite giving such a remarkable performance. But anyways she sure as well should have won for Mrs Brown and in many ways this was a make up Oscar for snubbing her the previous year.

Well I personally LOVED Helen's performance in The Queen.I think that performance is one of the best winner in the history of Oscar,but sure,I'd be fine if Judi won for Notes.Cate and her were also MARVELOUS in the film.

I actually thought Dame Judi's performance in Shakespeare was really powerful and she deserved this Oscar. She stole every scene she was in, her screen presence is off the charts. She probably deserved it for Notes On A Scandal too, she was phenomenal in that. I also would've like to have seen her be nominated for her bitch-slapping of Keira Knightly in Pride And Prejudice haha.

+Renan C. Maia Yes!!!!

+Renan C. Maia I feel the same way. and I'm sure Redgrave took a stab at that in an episode of Rude Awakening when her drunken character Trudy grumbled "F--- the Oscars."

Renan C. Maia Agreed. Lynn Redgrave was fantastic in Gods and Monsters. I also would have voted for Ian McKellen for best actor for Gods and Monsters.

She was excellent with Cate Blanchett in "Notes on a Scandal"

Brilliant performance Barbara .

she was honored that was it

A.S. Alfred, it should have been Lynn Redgrave.

Agreed. She was amazing in Mrs. Brown!

+Poe Moe *They're giving Lupita Nyong'o the same grief that she hell doesn't deserve the Oscar because she was only whipped for a blink of an eye. Well they said she only appeared in the movie just about as long as Dame Judi Dench did in the above video*

Watch the other nominee Lynn Redgrave in "Gods and Monsters", then we'll talk if Judi truly deserved it that year.

that role was perfectly done - the Queen indeed had backbone, truth, strength and Her Majesty didn't put up with any fumbling flaccid fancy pants - "too late, too late"

@@Calliope0954 the role was perfectly done cause it was one of easiest roles in the film act very stoic and dont exhibit any range of emotions.

+Gustava10 He did one time in 1986 along with Jane Fonda and Alan Alda but I know what you're saying, it would be brilliant

Me too :'(

Yes ! It still hurts. I took for granted my laughter with him. Still very very sad.

who doesn't

I adored the. wonderful Robin. The terrible diagnosis of Lewy Body dementia . He knew what he who would have to face. My own husband had it and died a terrible death. So I understand why Robin killed himself. Someone of such talent to have to face hell - not bloody fair!. Miss your sense of fun Robin

:(

True. Till this day, one of the dumbest decisions ever made.

maybe we watched different films.

@@lampad4549 Right? She won the Oscar because Harvey Weinstein bought it for her.

Don't come for Judi, she deserves it.

Laurence Olivier's acceptance speech for receiving a life time achievement Oscar, is the best Oscar speech I ever heard. Maybe the best 'thank you' speech ever.

I watched it after you recommended it… Although it was smooth and nice, it was so bloody long! Thats half the reason why I love Judy's. It's not too fast, and you don't get bored, plus she's thankful, acknowledges the other ladies, says why she's happy, and leaves. (dressed impeccably I might add)

+orhugs Nope.

Bit of a contradiction there, wouldn't you say?
