Oh grow up you. Manifesting is a LIE, PR bubble of nothingness, big wordsalad that is sold at industrial scale to naive fools like you. People don't manifest illness, war, misery, abuse, starvation... You wanna think you're in control, go ahead. Wait till life suprises you. Look around, and think how much of this is ''manifested'', did I manifest lifelong illness, tell me? Do you not realize how callous this ridiculous belief is?

Bruh it literally came to me a week ago

💯 % correct. Tells you what an iconic, supremely talented acting partner he is.

@@nolechick321 KING!!! 👑👑👑

Helen Hunt seemed surprised by her win, especially since everyone expected Judi Dench to win.

Interesting but these actors can also hold their own....great casting directors, too

she should have had an Oscar long before this one. The Appartment...

A beauty

Courtney absolutely!

I just watched the movie and I couldn't agree more. She was so classic, so genuine, so raw in that scene. whew And my fav scene of Debra's was the moment of her death. Wowza. She convinced me.

Right!!!

She only had to wait till after 10 for the shot,the clock on the wall says 2 am

Shirley MacLaine is in a LEAGUE OF HER OWN. Always has been. She’s BRILLIANT.

Didn't know, thank you!

Wowzers looking wonderful too...she was 52 thereabouts when she filmed Out on a Limb

That was 50?!

She looks 30!?

Your handsome...just sayin...

I had never seen Some Came Running and it just blew me away! Worth finding.

And then MacLaine's reaction when she realized that her daughter is gone... OMG, I can't.

Gábor Vág gets me everytime

I just rewatched it myself. They were both brilliant.

Freedom! It was a great speech, but I don’t think it was spontaneous. I think it was pre-written as a monologue she delivered it brilliantly.

It was a great speech but I would not say it was spontaneous. I'm fairly certain she practiced and knew what she was going to say beforehand.

yes we all know that😂

Really?!

stop exaggerating, how many have you seen????

Nicholson was nominated 12 times from 1970 to 2003. Streep 21 times from 1979 to 2018.

@@renan.csmaia Shame is how great Streep was but became a liberal puke. Same with DeNiro. Ruined their legacy.

Osiel Escalante agreed🙏🙏

Totally agree with you. Also there should have been at least another Oscar nomination for Madame Sousatzka (1988), which I consider to be her finest "mature" screen performance.

@@howardkoor2796 who would you put in first, second, third, etc, during that year?

Agree! She was robbed for her role in "The apartment" in my opinion

@@jeffreybermudez3956 I think Meryl Streep should've won it, but I digress, I really like Shirley and she was overdue. It is what it is.

Murph3579 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Untill Olivia Colman!!

I agree her acceptance speech brilliantly walked the line between showing grace, gratitude and also rightfully acknowledging herself for something she did deserve. It doesn't get better than this.

She manifested that win.

Bryan, I so agree with you! Great comment!

Bryan Wiley couldn’t agree more

Bryan Wiley She should have won eons ago for "The Apartment."

@@grandmalovesmebest Shirley MacLaine's big problem Is that in her heyday she was completely overshadowed by superstars like Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn who were payed more and were way more popular, however this late Oscar maybe is One of the reasons of her incredibile career longevity, she is still working on a regular basis while Audrey virtually retired in 1967 and Sophia has been appearing on the screen occasionally from the end of the 70's up to a few years ago. Elizabeth too virtually retired before she was 50 years old

along with Geraldine Page

For real. I didn't realize she was up against Meryl Streep in Silkwood! I think I remember her saying in one of her books that she manifested this win. So happy for her.

"There's nothing harder!"

2 real life heat actress

Both performances were wonderful. Even though I wasn't a fan of hers beforehand, Shirley's performance was so earnest I thought for a solid two hours that she was my actual mother. Not only did I think that Debra was beautiful but this was the first performance of hers that I had ever seen, and her performance was so adorable that she melted my heart and made me fall in love with her (I often joke that she probably has a 3D printed copy of Shirley's Oscar at home).

Anwar Uhuru really? I thought it was arrogant and dismissive of the other performances that year.

Exactly. Now it lasts about 30 seconds. I love ole Shirley.

And back when people knew how to write at all!

She deserved that Oscar big time, actually everyone in the film did a stellar job. 🎬 🎥

@@GG1Productions You should look up how Diane Wager farted in her face, and how and Jack held her down while Wagner licked her leg. I sometimes wonder how Timothy dealt with her.

zanetierney It's odd I guess, that I've never seen that movie. I certainly remember it being out (I'm turning 50 this year), but it just never appealed to me and I still haven't seen it.

Big Valley don't forget she is also Warren Beatty's sister, maybe Warren was less cocky than Shirley, but still it should have being a tie not, beating by 5 procent of the voting, maybe Maclaine has beat Winger by 5 procent at the time

Debra Winger was just as good but Shirley was overdue. Too bad for Debra.

hope she wins one day

There are roles for older women but she is getting older. The awards are flawed in that way really. Also, sometimes but not always they jinx the person and they are never heard from again.

And I love how, right after the nurses finally haul ass into her daughter’s room, she smooths herself out and calmly thanks them 😂

+Love Animals At least Shirley has a sense of humor about her off-center beliefs. I busted a gut when she popped up in the "Past Lives Pavilion" from Albert Brooks' Defending Your Life.

...And there is a great deal to say. She is however, one of the greatest actresses of all time, and always likable on camera, even when portraying largely unsympathetic characters.

@@user-mj8nf2vp7q agreed...

@@yodservant 👍😉

I would have disputed the latter claim (the one you said can't be disputed), if I had not seen "Terms of Endearment".

Noone mentioned Jeff Daniels. The straying husband.

U are spot on

I love Debra Winger.

ann landers she gives performances in movies that make u fall in love with her

So true. In Debra’s last scene, just before she dies, she looks at Shirley McLaine and says goodbye with a flicker of her eyes. No words needed. That is true acting.

pam0626 AGREE!!!

I loved the sequel to "Terms of Endearment" called " The Evening Star. " Not many people know about it as everyone I've asked say they've never heard of it. Shirley MacLaine and Jack Nicholson are both in it. It shows you afterwards when the Grandchildren have grown up. Juliet Lewis plays the teenage Granddaughter. The full movie is on KZfaq. Definitely worth a watch kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebKpipp5u8yrm3k.html

I'm not an easy crier, but "Terms of Endearment" is one of very few movies that has made me cry.

Shirley MacLaine's character in "Terms of Endearment" was eccentric, with any number of unpredictable characteristics and foibles that had to be played convincingly. Her role as Aurora was much more of a challenge than Debra Winger's role as Emma. I would imagine that Shirley's brief moment with Debra as she headed to the podium to accept her Oscar was one in which she graciously acknowledged how close the vote between them must have been. I was surprised to recall that this was Shirley MacLaine's only Oscar for Best Actress. She certainly deserved one earlier on, particularly for her performance in "The Apartment".

@@vivianpowell1732 Also, "Some Came Running" early in her career. Brilliant.

Totally agree

I had forgotten what an incredibly strong category it was that year, as well. Any one of those women would have been an absolute lock in another year, but Shirley's performance in "Terms of Endearment" really was worthy of winning.

Rock died the next year... 😢

Shirley was way overdue at that point, but her “give my daughter the shot” scene nailed it.

​@@danielscottrussell3365 Who would have expected roughly 18 months later Rock Hudson who presented Shirley MacLaine with her Oscar that night would be dead from complications of AIDS at 59.

😠😡

Erzsébet Gabriella Czopyk Oh, and the best "I deserve this!"

Guessing you don't like electronic noise, hip hop and Super Hero movies?....I was 24 then....we agree....

shes a real a hole in real life

The music was like a character in the movie.

+dr strangelove Damn right. She was superb.

+TheChannel.TV Yes

She should have won for The Apartment.

Yeah. But he cheated on her left, right, and center while they were together. I read that it deeply bothered Huston, too, Nicholson's infidelities.

he was a beater too.

Jack really screwed up, there. Angelica was a fine, classy lady. I think he regrets messing that up.

@@waynej2608 something tells me Jack doesn’t live a life with regrets

And Jane Alexander's performance in 'Testament' is inexplicably heart-wrenching, could have won if only it was released the year after.

With the way Debra Winger acted behind the scenes ESPECIALLY towards McLain im surprised she was even nominated.

That was the level of competition back then!

And Julie Walters was equally amazing as well. Barely we see anything like this these days

.

Well said.

NICE ROCK HUDSON

Uh yeah. Even people playing villains win Oscars. It's how well you play a role.

Miles Allen Oh yess

Miles Allen I thought it was Bernadette Peters.

Isn't she Molly Weasley?

She does look very similar to Kirsten Dunst.

Silkwood was soooo good!

siddharth nagar Probably bc her speech left everyone "floored"!

Now everyone gets a standing ovation

@@vastolive8 Probably; but this year's Oscars didn't see a lot of standing ovations.

We don't see standing ovations (or very rarely) in Oscar ceremonies prior to the mid to late 80s. It's a shame especially in cases like this where one would have been extremely appropriate.
