He was robbed of an Oscar in Sideways. Such a terrific performance. I’m glad he’s getting a lot of recognition for The Holdovers because he’s such an amazing and underrated actor.

Give this guy the Oscar. His character in The Holdovers was the most fully realized human on screen this year.

Absolutely love and respect Giamatti. One of the most understated and most excellent actors of our day

I literally just bought the blu ray 'John Adams' series yesterday. Can't wait to watch it. This guy's amazing.

I love the recognition he receives lately for The Holdovers! Hoping he has a great chance to win the Oscar!

Giamatti is such an amazing and versatile actor, and to me American Splendor not only is one of his greatest performance, also is one of my favorite movies of all time.

One of Paul's best roles is as John Adams...He captured the Founding Father perfectly.

How can anyone not love this guy? He steals every scene he is in and is just a pleasure to watch in every role whether he is the lead or a supporting role. Billions was always watchable but I'm so happy it is over so we get to see him in more diverse roles. I loved seeing him in the insanity that is 30 coins season 2

The chemistry between Paul and Thomas Haden Church in sideways is 1 in million. lightning in a bottle. Thank goodness they didn’t hire movie stars for the pair.

Truly, one of the greatest actors in the business. Sideways will forever be my favorite film of all time.

Paul Giamatti said in an interview with Josh Horowitz that he wants to play a rival detective to Benoit Blanc in the next _Knives Out_ film. Get on it, Rian Johnson!

He was perfect in "Sideways". What a great actor.

Shame they skipped over his role in Private Parts. I think that role made him hugely popular because he was so funny in it. He had a way bigger role in that than he did in Saving Private Ryan.

John Adams is such a power house of acting, and it's a must watch for everyone.

How dare they pass over 'Private Parts' in'97. That was the role that gave Giamatti some notice, and he was great in the movie. "WNnnnnnnBC"

i wish people spoke about his role in love & mercy more, such a terrifying performance

I absolutely love him. Definitely one of my top five actors. John Adam’s was my favorite before The Holdovers but it’s too difficult to pick a favorite overall.

When I saw Private Parts for the first time, I had no idea who he was, but his intensity had me hooked. I've been a fan of his ever since. Seems like a nice guy.

I wish we heard about 'Lady in the Water' it is a gorgeous thought-provoking film. Paul Giamatti makes me cry playing Cleveland, that film made me look out for other performances of his.

Paul Giamatti is very underrated as an actor and can excel at both comedy and drama. I adore the film Sideways. I’m not drinking any fu**ing Merlot.❤️

I will not rest until someone acknowledges The Negotiator

It's guys like this that make me think I could make it as an actor...even today.

One of the best and consistent actors. All his performances are outstanding. Gotta binge John Adams again.

Leaving out 'The Illusionist' and his small but significant part in 'Downton Abbey' is a real shame, would welcome a part two!

Iits Mother's Day 2024 and I just finished watching The Holdovers on Amazon Prime. I have been shedding tears for at least 40 minutes. I totally get why Paul won. This honor was so well deserved. He did an amazing job in this project.

He's been in some amazing films no doubt

I’ve sincerely daydreamed for years I could one day convey to him the life-changing impact his Pinot soliloquy in “Sideways” had on THIS slob’s life. 🤔 No joke. To this day, THAT scene (written by AP, NOT by Pickett) is thee single best acting performance of my five decades of avid film-watching. I made a critical relationship decision based on the profundity of the writing/unwitting self-metaphor and delivery by Paul. I’ll forever hold him (& A. Payne) on a pedestal for that ONE SCENE-a _real_ masterpiece. 🙏🤟

How can you do a feature like this and not mention Private Parts, the role that launched his career?

Wasn't really acquainted with his voice before this , its super relaxing to hear

I love that he mentioned The Negotiator, on the surface just another star-vehicle action-thriller but one of my favourite films to watch when im bored, and Paul is so funny and entertaining in it for the short time he’s on-screen, great back-and-forth with Samuel L Jackson

Sideways was fantastic. Also probably Thomas Hayden Church's best role

Producers take note: Giamatti wants to play a Bond villain, and he loves horror (if only Coscarelli could get Bubba Nosferatu going.. alas).

Paul Giamatti is so fun to watch, I wish this had gone on for an hour. It’s too bad he didn’t talk about the Ides of March, I’d love his take on working with the equally great Phillip Seymour Hoffman. After watching it I thought, “The whole movie should be about those two guys. Forget the movie stars and just focus on those guys. Well, maybe someday they’ll make another movie together just the two of them.” It wasn’t to be.

Does anybody remember him making a 1 minute cameo at the end of Spiderman? He was the Rhino. They never went anywhere with it for the next Spiderman but just seeing his face put a smile on mine. My favorite.....Sideways 100% 🙂

Too bad he skipped "Love and Mercy." He was amazing as Dr. Eugene Landy. Brian Wilson said his performance terrified him because it was so accurate!

He’s funny! I love his voice!!

I like Paul Giamatti, it was nice Vanity Fair got to speak with him even though they only had access to a library to conduct in the interview in.

Started rewatching John Adams for like the 4th time yesterday, and then I see this pop up on youtube. Anyways Paul Giamatti is such a great actor, he elevates any media he's in.

About time we had a Giamatti theme vid!!! 😁😁😁

The Holdovers and Sideways nestled together in my top 3 movies of all time. 😅

AMAZING 😂😂😂 I think he uses that word more than me and that's like....totally amazing!!! What a guy! One of Hollywood's true gentlemen. Straight down the line lovely, down to earth guy. I love Payne's movies and his turn in Sideway's will always be my favourite but I need to watch a lot more of his stuff. This is a brilliant short on a great actor and all round great bloke.

Warmed my heart hearing he’s a horror fan. He’s also excellent in the John Dies at the end movie

How could you not ask him about the illusionist

He is one of the best. Always been a fan. This is awesome.

He was a bit then a character actor in a number of things but starring in American Splendor catapulted him to Discerning Film-watchers Stardom thanks to a breakout, magnificent performance. He cemented that reputation in Sideways the very next year.

I love Cillian Murphy and I'll be very happy if he wins the Oscar for "Oppenheimer" but I REALLY want Paul to win for "The Holdovers". He was awesome and how great would it be for a Christmas movie to win in two major categories? (Da'Vine Joy Randolph is 100% winning Best Supporting Actress for the film).

I met winemaker in Paso Robles, where Sideways was filmed. He told me that because of that Merlot line; Merlot sales plummeted lol

Give him the Oscar already!

His voice is a incredibly comforting! He would be perfect for some audio books

He’s had SUCH a versatile career. So underrated.

One of my favourite actors. A real talent, down to earth and funny. Sideways is in my top 10 best movies. He is also brilliant in Private Parts and The Illusionist.

Generational talent.

He's fantastic in 30 Coins. Hope there's a third season!

Shout out to any fans of The Chris Gethard Show watching this video and remembering one of the best and lesser-known moments in television history

WIN WIN was amazing!!!

How did they skip Private Parts?

Anyone remember Cold Souls? Not a great movie or anything notable, but for some reason that's always one of the first Paul Giamatti movies I think about.

He had a bit part in the 1992 film SINGLES starring Matt Dillon & Bridget Fonda.

Another president he played - voicing Theodore Roosevelt in Ken Burns' documentary series: 'Speak softly and carry a big stick - you will go far.'

i am completely crazy but i have memories of Paul Giamatti in My Best Friend' Wedding in a small part with Julia Robert

I wish he talked about John Dies At The End. It's such a bizarre movie and I love it

Why didn’t they show Private Parts??

Lodge 49 is amazing. I really wish it could have got more seasons 😢

LOVE this guy.

They never bring up his role on Rock of Ages on these things and i really wanna hear him talk about that one lol

They skipped over it here but I really like him in The Negotiator

Great interview but wish there had been comments on PRIVATE PARTS, DONNIE BASCO “Fuhgeddaboutit” & WIN/WIN. When he did AMERICAN SPLENDOR & SIDEWAYS back to back, he hit the heights. Two outstanding films back to back. SPLENDOR is one of my 10 favorite all time movies.

Wish he could talk about Lady in the Water. I know it gets flak, but I'd love to hear his thoughts.

I'm sad Barney's version was not mentioned, it's one of his most remarkable performances....

One of the most underrated actors

He was fantastic in Straight Outta Compton

Amazing actor!

I love his speaking voice.

Oh i wish he talked about San Andreas and The Amazing Spiderman 2. I love both those movies! And him in them

really enjoyed the holdovers

Illusionist, Private parts, Donnie Brasco. Giomatti made memorable so many movies

He is the best!!! ❤

Everything and everyone: amazing!

Duets made me a fan of his.

He voices Story Lord in Rick and Morty!

Missing his role in Duets that's where I first became aware of him and thought he was awesome in that role

The Holdovers is great

Missing Private Parts. "Dubya enn-be-see!" Sideways and American Splendor is gold, though.

Loved him in Win Win!

I enjoy his movies,, !ike John Adams but now Holdover is the top one. Hope you win the Oscar. A fan.

😍✨PAUL Giamatti takes one on a journey eVery time, THANK 🌷🌻🌹. ✨🙏🏽💖💞💕

Sideways is truly a great film

Cosmopolis with Cronenberg brilliant

Amazing career .

How do you just pass over Private Parts. That's the role that really put him on the map

I'm surprised people didn't like planet of the apes 😮 It was on rotation in my house as a kid, we all loved it 😂

Amazing is the word of the day.

He's just the best! Lodge and Coins are so underrated.

What about Rock Of Ages, Turbo, and TASM 2?

He will always be Marty Wolfe.

NO PRIVATE PARTS?? WTF!

What about Private Parts? The ending on that is hilarious.

I loved him as a potential best supporting actor in the Illusionist. He stole that movie. I cant believe they skipped it in this breakdown.

Thanks for getting him to talk about 30 coins love the insanity of that show

Honestly felt like the timeline at the beginning of the video was going to go on forever lol
