When Julie speaks, it's mesmerizing! Just look how the audience are all so focused on her speaking onstage! She is well spoken, elegant & a class act! She is indeed a treasure! .

Ms. Andrews is such an impeccable speaker/presenter. Brings so much class and dignity, no fumbling, no confusion, just an aura of honest to goodness everything. M. Kidd spoke really well and portrayed the "vitality of movie musicals" through his incredible array of spectacular work through the decades.

Julie looks STUNNING!!! xoxo

People could learn from Dame Julie Andrews on how to be classy and charismatic

What a wonderful woman Julie Andrews is - gorgeous, brilliant, elegant. The perfect presenter. A real STAR!

Anyone could have easily fallen in that dress that Julie was wearing but she pulled it off with grace and elegance.

I noticed Lauren Bacall & Debbie Reynolds in the audience several times. 2 more legends who have passed. Debbie looked stunning too! Thank god we still have Julie, please can it stay that way :-)

Julie Julie what a treasure you are to the world!

This was before her vocal surgery 😢

Why was so much of the audience hesitant about standing up at first?! Please, he was a genius, who was more than deserving of the respect of a standing ovation at the Academy Awards.

Initially, it is appropriate and deserved that Michael Kidd received his honorary Oscar at the Awards ceremony, rather than being relegated to a smaller presentation months earlier, as is now the fashion of the Academy. Without the talents of Kidd as a choreographer, the memorable dances in Minnelli's The Band wagon performed by Astaire and Charisse would not have been presented; the musical numbers in Guys And Dolls with Brando and Sinatra wouldn't have materialized and Seven Brides For Seven Brothers would not have the iconic sequences. He also danced memorably with Gene Kelly in It's Always Fair Weather.

When Julie speaks everyone listens. She is amazing

Seems like Julie Andrews has her own BGM for every Academy Awards event she appears

Brief audience shot of the Iconic Debbie Reynolds, may God rest her soul.

I remember this well :-) Julie looks really stunning here; she would have been 61. It was shortly before her botched throat surgery. :-|

Ms Julie Andrews indeed is a treasure! No one ever is even a minuscule of her character, personality, total being. I hope American celebrities follow suit.

Julie is one of my favorite things!

I simply love the choreography from "The Band Wagon"!

Today Commemorates Michael Kidd's 100th Birthday

Why did you exclude the clips of the films Kidd worked on? They showed the brilliance of his works!

He is the one between Twyla and Madonna.

3:22 1997. I guess Julie was in Victor / Victoria on Broadway.

Never got the logic of this award. Mr. Kidd worked on only a handful of movies. He should however have been nominated for a brilliant acting performance in one of the 1970's best films "SMILE"

Did you see Dennis Rodman, there?

4:26

He looks well for 82...he died from cancer 10 years later...and his wife died the same year
