Johnny- the ultimate MC, ultimate host No one ever will come close

Johnny Carson is the perfect host!

I loved the way Oscar musical directors, particularly Henry Mancini and Bill Conti, conducted overtures of Best Original Score nominees at the top of the show. I wish they could do this all over again!

Ah, when the Oscar's were elegant, sophisticated & entertaining. I miss the beauty, the talent & the celebration of the industry's work. And thank you Johnny Carson for your great humor. ☮💟🎶

The Oscars were so much more prestigious and better back then

Fay Kanin's speech was heartfelt. Beautiful.

I was born on this day, April 14 1980, 41 yrs old today , from age 5-25 seamed like an eternity from 25-41 has been like a blink of an eye, times flies when your older

When will the Oscars finally be shown in full , we all want to see each year in full to relive the memories, Why won’t the Academy allow this , why keep them hidden forever !!!

Lovely Opening view of the LA Smog. Barbara Barrie was also nominated for an Emmy in the short lived TV spin off of BREAKING AWAY, one of the few performers to have Emmy and Oscar nominations for the same role.

Aah the 80's! The beginning of the greatest decade in human history.

❤Young Richard Gere❤Absolutely gorgeous❤Perfection❤love from Finland❤❤❤

I miss you Johnny!!!!

I miss when the Oscars had class and dignity.

this was fun. thanks for uploading

Carson had instant credibility...we were all used to him for 20 years at this point, he was "cute" and teddy bear like, and beloved so if he made a goof, you didn't care because you cared for him. Sorry Jimmy and the pathetic fact that there are NO hosts today...these are times gone by!

Henry Mancini. 🙏

9:30 - "I just happened to have a Monday night free" - Johnny hinting there at his new NBC contract which started in 1980 where he only worked Wednesdays to Fridays, with Monday night guest hosted and Tuesdays was the Best of Carson.

Take it back to the Dorothy chandler pavilion

Welcome to the '80's!

Love seeing Douglas Fairbanks Jr... my dream man!

That Mt. St. Helens joke (10:31) aged like fine wine.

Jill Clayburgh was just pure class. Meryl as well was as beautifull that night as she has ever been.

Johnny was "ALL THAT "!!!

Him with the wallpaper! 😂😂😂😂

Did y'all see that look Candace gave me at the beginning there?

Such a epic opening , now just boring , there isn’t who dress are you wearing , just admire the stars

Carson begins his monologue at 9:23.

when it was worth a watch! not like now...

incredibly found in this video now in 2019 me and my 3 friends who were living in 1980 in Pasadena. We appear the 4 all Brazilians in the video in the bleachers. I taking pictures of the stars.

I love it

Carson: Jill Clayborn in "Luna" administering a 'firm hand' to her son. Raunchy even back then.

They should go back to having a darkened auditorium

no Iphones, no computers - for the average person. No internet. And. low and behold...people actually managed to survive.

Carson!!

Ahhh yes, the days when ikt was still glamorous, & exciting to attend The Oscars./------Sadly, far too much has changed. -------------WolfSky9

Hank Simms is the announcer.

THE AMITYVILLE HORROR should have won Best Score!

It was then a true celebration; classic, and actors where appreciative of they winnings and not complaining what is happening in the world. The movies suppose to take us away from realty not trying to push some political nonsense at us. Those where the good times. .

Notice how good the symphony and music was back then. In today's polibuero police State they do strict background checks , so if a great musician has a past DUI offense or a domestic argument offense., then he or she is not allowed to work. They do not want people independent and working but instead dependant on government welfare checks and divided etc..

Star Trek: The Motion Picture should have won for Best Original Score.

They were so much better then

The Pinto of newspapers. That's on the money. I had a Pinto. A gift and my first car.

Academy Channel could you please upload Mickey Rooney winning an Honorary Oscar at the 55th Academy Awards in 1983? Thank you!

Back when things and people were real.

The Oscsrs no longer have my attention.

The pinto of newspapers. Ha ha

Wow. Like absolutely no cutaways to people in the audience. I guess back then one camera only on Johnny.

Interesting how much things have changed. We live in evil and sad times. God come soon!

die anfangs animation ist erste sahne :D aus heutiger sicht

2:25 Goldie looks out of her head.

Why did Henry Mancini use Ravel's Bolero to showcase his own score for '10'? He showed us that his own score shouldn't have been nominated!

Carson, who hosted Reagan's ball nine months later found out two things...first it was being televised and ABC was making $6 million off his free performance, and the producer was the same guy who produced the Oscars here and CUT his opening. Let's say JC was PISSED...you don't cut Carson's monologue!

Is this the way the show aired? During the monologue there was not a single cutaway.

Johnny and Ed should have hosted together

@ 4:47 You can Jody's red eyes

I wonder if this awards show mentions John Wayne even though he passed away a year before this

OMG I remember watching this & being so scared of that Amityville horror music I covered my ears! 😂 Wooooow I forgot all about that!

John Wayne's son was very good looking

President

This seems like yesterday 2:35

Ya is safely stored but who the hell is going to watch it young kids today don't even watch the movies that was done many years ago it's not that Hollywood needs money is the producers and the major Hollywood Studios they always RI scrap movies which in this business they call remakes young people do not watch movies that was made many years ago if it's a remake of the original motion picture they don't bother looking at 1933 they look at 2020 remake of the same title young viewers will never know what it's like to see a movie that was me 15 years ago prior to the Remake that is made today

Goodwill

OF THE UNITED STATES

different time

What is the place with the kind of round roof?

Something wrong with her neck? Why she talking with her sideways? 😂

21:15 The height of the accountants’ year.

I was one month old ..

80,s tv was full y charaterzied bu drama

Why didn't Jesse Jackson picket this show?

Is that rod Steiger wife or daughter, and how could Justin Henry’s parents let him go alone?

Where was the entrance of Bette Midler....

Not the United States ?

What’s the theme name at 5:01

10:53

Good luck to the poor schmick who has to read the eligibility rules for Best Picture at the 2024 Oscars!

Sally Field and David Steinberg?

👀

My ducking god! Y is there a host for a host?! Horrible concept

Goldie has not won best actress, she was supporting, only a minor slip

I enjoy some of this but Great scott what a lot of unimportant babbling will be expounded. A great lot im afraid should be disbanded. My own opinion of course.

A treasure trove of stale jokes.

Carson’s joke about Dolly Parton was crass and inexcusable

Boring Johnny Carson. Stupid old jokes. Joan Rivers should be the host❤

"Mammary versus mammary." Just awful. Also the comment about La Cage Aux Folles. Sexist and homophobic comments were the norm.

I used to love watching this show But haven’t watched it in years just can’t take the PC/woke anti American, anti Conservative crap anymore! Very rarely even go the a picture show any more .
