0:55 I absolutely love the genuine joy on Robin William's face when Marlee Matlin says the title of his film like how his character says it. ^_^

Well deserved. Michael was just superb as Gordon Gekko. Wall Street is a masterpiece .

Nicholson is sitting there with a dark sunglasses like a badass

I LOVE how affectionally Robin Williams looks when he clearly sees how hard Marlee Matlin is trying to not only talk but also how she literally puts so much into saying, "Good Morning Vietnam". A classic line from the movie. Shows what a wonderful human being he was and good for Marlee Matlin for literally training with a voice coach to do this. :-)

3 yrs prior to this win, I was one of his limo drivers at a company he contracted with. He was the nicest, most polite man! Always asked to listen to KROQ on the radio. Carried his own bags, always. And his wife was always kind, and waiting for him as soon as we pulled up. Every time. Beautiful, genuine people.

I think it's very sweet that he dedicated his award to Kirk and his parents. He truly deserved it and Gordon Gekko is timeless, excellent performance by Michael. And Marlee Matlin learned to speak after winning her Oscar the year before! Go Marlee!

Marlee Matlin looks stunning......

I don't give a shit if she's deaf, Marlee Matlin is so fine.

His dad lived for another 32 years! Amazing and fully deserved.

I just rewatched Wall Street last night and absolutely loved it! Michael Douglas was a more than deserving winner!

I watched this for more Matlin than Douglas, but he seems to be a good man with his values in the right place.

Damn, Marlee Matlin was gorgeous here,

Michael Douglas one of my favorite actors love him so much!

Michael Douglas was Soooooooooooo Gorgeous!!!!!!!

Michael douglas was beyond brilliant in his role for Wall Street.

The sweetest thing when Robin Williams said good morning Vietnam and Robin's reaction is wonderful

Michael Douglas is a great actor and a cool guy. I stopped him on the Upper West Side a few years ago and got a picture with him, he was really cool about it...

"Thank you for helping a son step out of the shadow" - :)

Michael Douglas has great acting in Wall Street.

Just saw "Wallstreet" (the first one) and i must say that Michael was amazing - the perfect role for him. A very deserved win, and a top speech too...

One of the best performances I've seen. MD in Wall Street. And by god Marlee is stunning!!

It's hard to believe that anyone thought he couldn't play Gordon Gekko. He created a legendary film character with this role.

Def one of the best Oscar speeches ever. Amazing performance.

"Greed is good." Priceless.

What classy man . To thank his father from the heart. Great movie and great part

Just seeing Robin Williams look so happy and smiling is enough 👏

Just watched your movie yesterday (25 years after its broadcast🙂) And afterwards I gotta say: Congrats Mr. Douglas, very deserved! I also enjoyed the latest picturisation starring Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan. And about Marlee Matlin, what a remarkable, beautiful lady! We can only imagine how hard it must have been for her to actually announce the nominees! 💪

This was at the height of his sexiness!!

Douglas absolutely killed it in Wall Street. Watching his performance was a treat to behold.

this guy really deserve it, one of the best actors of all time, true legend

One of the greatest actor ever! He and his father💗

I love Michael ,he was so handsome at that time,a nice guy!Happy Birthday to you Michael!

This was Michael Douglas's, and Cher's year (Michael with good work in two hit films Wall Street, and Fatal Attraction, and Cher, with three movies, and a return to the music charts).

"The point is ladies and gentlemen, that acting, for lack of a better word, is good. Acting is right, acting works. Acting clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of evolutionary entertainment. Acting, in all of it's forms, acting for comedy, for drama, for romance, sci-fi has marked the upward surge of cinema, and acting, you mark my words will not only save movies but that other malfunctioning company called Hollywood. Thank you very much."

It's so great to see an actor who actually deserves the win. He had some stiff competition too . Looks like a great oscar year as cher won for moonstruck. One of my favorites. Kirk douglas was a giant in hollywood. It cant be easy steeping out of his shadow but to younger generations that werent alive when douglas was a heavy weight Micheal surely surpassed his dad or at least is great in his own right. Does not happen often. Look at sports how many sons of hof guys become better than their dad?

SUPERB FILM EVEN TO THIS DAY!

Gordon Gekko was the part of Douglas' career; even in the somewhat inferior sequel, Wall Street : Money Never Sleeps, Douglas was still outstanding. It's ironic that Michael's Father, Kirk Douglas, never won a competitive Oscar during his career, despite worthy performances in Lust For Life, The Bad And The Beautiful, Spartacus, and Paths Of Glory. Michael ultimately co-produced the successful film adaptation of Ken Kesey's One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, which Kirk had starred in on Broadway; Kirk couldn't obtain financing to make the film, and gave the rights to Michael, who hired Milos Foreman and Jack Nicholson, after it was determined that Kirk was too old for the lead role by the mid 70s.

Marlee Matlin looked so young and beautiful

A brilliant actor. For me the best since a bit more than 30 years. I feel in love with him and his work as I saw him in "The Streets of San Francisco". I tried to catch eveything I could get of him. As Gordon Gekko...awesome!!! It was a hard way for him to step out of the shadow of his dad like he said. And it´s great that he thanked his father in that way. He made his own way! Living legend! 🤩🥰👏

Michael Douglas Is EPIC! He Looks Great As All Ways.

That was a STACKED lineup of actors! Holy smokes.

Marlee Maitlin is awesome!!!

Michael Douglas deserved that oscar, big time... his brilliant and electrifyingly badass Gordon Gekko is one of the reasons why Wall Street is a masterpiece and one of Stone's greatest works. Aside from that, (the lovely) Marlee Matlin's presentation was very, very moving. It caught me a bit off guard.

Back when it was truly a classy event

OMG she's natural, adorable and beautiful... in her ways

All of the Best Actor Nominees of 1987 except for Marcello Mastroianni have won at least 1 Oscar: Michael Douglas: Wall Street Robin Williams: Good Will Hunting William Hurt: Kiss of the Spider-Woman Jack Nicholson: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Terms of Endearment, and As Good as it Gets

Lou Diamond Phillips couldve had an best actor oscar nominee for his role as the late Richie Valens in La Bamba

Back when Hollywood made movies worth watching, good enough to make the Oscars a nail-biter.

Aww I love Marlee's speech. She is so adorable! I read her book, "I'll Scream Later," and it was great :)

Douglas is great actor!

Ahh, the 80s: when giant shoulder pads ruled for both men and women...

Class act all the way!

My favorite movie is black rain with him. Love that actor.

Mike was on his game back then, Romancing The Stone, Fatal Attraction, Wall Street

Amazing deep voice Mr Michael Douglas

I just love his voice.

Falling Down is his best movie, and one of the best movies ever.

@GrumpyFarmerBill The Dark Knight? Are you kidding me, that was a great movie. The rest I can pretty much agree on

Marlee Matlin was gorgeous back in the day.

Great stuff! Really well deserved!

Aww Marlee Matlin made me smile.

Marlee Matlin is so Amazing.

Superb Performance of him in Wall Street. Well deserved Oscar. Super good actor. Falling down was also extremely well performed

Still love this movie wow, Michael Douglas one of our superb actors of our time!

"I'm not talking about some four-hundred thousand dollar a year working wall street stiff flying first class and being comfortable, I'm talking about liquid....... rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty... a hundred million dollars buddy...... a player... or nothing." Gordon Gekko, Wall Street.

Golden moment for Michael ❤️

I'm grateful to be able to enjoy clips like this one, seen here for the first time all these years later. 1988 was a year of hell for me. Makes me wonder how many other events I would have enjoyed that I missed the first time around, in my not so good old days.

This is a great, natural speech.

I love him in that movie.. One of my favorites 😎

Deserved. One of the BEST characters in all of movie history. Not many come close

I think he deserved it. He played one of the most memorable characters that has maintained its image & popularity over the past decade.

He is great! One of my favorites!

Lol Robin Williams with his Cadilliac Man mustache

What a wonderful speech and awesome that people thought he couldn´t play Gekko.

Gorgeous Michael Douglas!💕💕💕💕

wall street- my favourite movie next to a knights tale! oh Michael was soo good in it.. he deserves it!

0:49 and right behind him also won Best Actress Oscar that night

The presentation is impressive !!

I'm 46....I was shocked and laughed hysterically when I heard he was doing liberace....I love him...jewl the the nile...fatal attraction...wall street. ..basic instinct. ...I thought no way... Well its 2019...and I gladly admit I was wrong....because along with ll the other things he did I own behind the candelabra....brilliant actor....no one today touches him or has that sort of range.

I am here because Michael Douglas won a well-deserved Academy Award but I stay for Marlee Matlin who is so beautiful, gorgeous, sexy and amazing here, I love her sign language and I love also that she spoke too.

Happy Birthday to the handsome, talented and interesting Michael Douglas, he is a very good actor and he does excellent work in everything he is in and he won a well-deserved Best Actor Academy Award for his role as Gordon Gekko in 1988 in movie Wall Street 1987, he is 77 years old and he was born on September 25, 1944 and he shares a birthday with his second wife Academy Award winner Catherine Zeta Jones who is 52 years old and she was born on September 25, 1969, I wish them both a great day and many more to come.

*Wall Street is an awesome movie* 🔥 🔥 🔥
