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. :-)

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. ^_^

Nicholson is sitting there with a dark sunglasses like a badass

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

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

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.

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

Marlee Matlin looks stunning......

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!

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

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

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

Damn, Marlee Matlin was gorgeous here,

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

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

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

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

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

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" - :)

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

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...

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

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

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

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

Michael Douglas has great acting in Wall Street.

"Greed is good." Priceless.

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! 💪

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! 🤩🥰👏

"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."

That was a STACKED lineup of actors! Holy smokes.

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

This was at the height of his sexiness!!

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

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).

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

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?

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

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.

Marlee Matlin looked so young and beautiful

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

Let's all take a moment now, and forever, to acknowledge the eloquence, sophistication and stunning beauty of Marlee Matlin. Bravo, for this incredibly touching introduction. Such and exquisite lady.

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.

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

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

Marlee Maitlin is awesome!!!

Douglas is great actor!

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

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

Back when it was truly a classy event

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

SUPERB FILM EVEN TO THIS DAY!

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

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

"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.

Marlee Matlin was gorgeous back in the day.

Class act all the way!

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

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

Marlee Matlin is so Amazing.

If I were alive back then, I would’ve wanted Robin Williams to win so badly!! But come on… Gordon Gekko wasn’t NOT getting an Oscar. Phenomenal performance by Michael Dogulas.

Lol Robin Williams with his Cadilliac Man mustache

I just love his voice.

Amazing deep voice Mr Michael Douglas

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.

Aww Marlee Matlin made me smile.

Marlee Matlin looks beautiful,

This is a great, natural speech.

she isn't even able to hear her own voice! she did amazing actually. If you read her book, "i'll scream later" you would know it took her months of speech therapy to know how to and be able to say the nominees for this academy award. when a deaf person speaks, since they can't hear their own voice, they have to learn how to shape their mouth so they can say the word. very difficult! i'm proud of how she did this, and she did amazing. GREAT JOB MARLEE!

to everyone hating on her for speaking: she isn't even able to hear her own voice! she did amazing actually. If you read her book, "i'll scream later" you would know it took her months of speech therapy to know how to and be able to say the nominees for this academy award. when a deaf person speaks, since they can't hear their own voice, they have to learn how to shape their mouth so they can say the word. very difficult! i'm proud of how she did this, and she did amazing. GREAT JOB MARLEE!

Michael Douglas winning this Oscar is one of the biggest mysteries of the awards to date.

I would have loved it if he'd have walked onto that stage and said "Greed, for the lack of a better word is good..."

"Streets of San Francisco" Baby! 🤣👍

He was cast because 7 actors said no, He’s still the best

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

Michael Douglas's Gordon "greed is good" Gecko is one of the finest screen performances I have ever seen. I didn't care much for the movie, but this actor discovered possibilities in that character few others could have found. Even in his tailored suits, he dripped with a sleaze that, if forced to confront it, probably would have been a source of pride. In his very first appearance, he seemed to be born behind that desk, spewing out aggressive, esoteric jargon and avoiding eye contact as such a person certainly would in reality. These choices of his, sustained throughout the film, established and solidified that awful, insulated man more so than any particular qualities inherent in Oliver Stone's script.

Wow. Lots of talent on that list of nominees. I wouldn't have guessed who would win. No way I could bet.

Wall Street is awesome

Marlee Matlin showed great courage by speaking the presentation of the canidates and announcing the winner

Golden moment for Michael ❤️

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

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

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.

Thank you very much. As the single largest shareholder in Teldar Paper, I'd like to thank you for letting me speak.

she is so beautiful

His wife Diandra ... beautiful!

The performance that defined a decade of excess. Michael Douglas effectively gave a face to the Wall St. shark.

*Wall Street is an awesome movie* 🔥 🔥 🔥

He is my favorite actor. Thank you, sir! I hope you beat the disease and live happily with your lovely supportive wife and children. All the best!

A huge international star like Marcello should have been given an honorary oscar at some point.

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

Marlee is awesome!
