JEALOUSY DARLING , see yourself from this three witches , and their comments and clearly supporting barbra, , [you think , they vote for MADONNA?

Sofia Santos Jealousy? Nice try. I'm a huge Whitney and Barbra fan but their songs were weaker than Madonna's You Must Love Me

alex blend the best actress category at that year was too tough, frances mcdormand in fargo.. emily watson in breaking the waves and kristin scott thomas in the English patient... i mean not a chance for madonna

Madonna just nails that song, doesn’t she? Just a heartbreaking rendition. I wish she would get more good roles like this - we know from her beautiful performance in this film, as well as her sassy debut in “Desperately Seeking Susan,” that this lady can ACT. It’s funny - I was hoping “That Thing You Do!”’s titular piece would bring home the Oscar, as I practically worship the late Adam Schlesinger. But this is a deserving choice as well. Congrats to the legendary Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber - nice to see him become a member of the EGOT club. For the record, Mr. Schlesinger was nominated for an Oscar, two Tonys and won two Emmys and a Grammy. I feel certain he would have eventually attained membership in this exclusive club, if the coronavirus had not cut his life short.

Phạm Phương Thảo Was glad for Francis - but feel Watson should have won. My God, what a performance!

One of the best lines I have ever heard in an acceptance speech!

FUNNIEST. LINE. EVER.

haha.... a jab directly to the English Patient....

Best line on a Oscar speech 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Can someone explain it please?

🥕🥕 hi

You are correct.

It was disgusting she nailed the part of evita

LOL

She deserved it way more than McDonrmand did

@@richardcleveland6949 she won the oscar lol

@@richardcleveland6949 OH my I think you need your eyes ears and taste checked.

Nadia are you blind? dont you see they have been sarcastic, celebrating the no nomination for MADONNA, and clearly supporting Barbra streisand///?

@@sofiasantos4558 they were not…

That implies she gave a good performance...which she didn't

Acting was shite, singing was perfect = no oscar which is for acting.

@@jonc3295 her acting in Evita was fucking incredible, even if she was “singing” most of the time she was on screen (i put singing between quotation marks since she wasn’t singing live)

😂😂😂

+Oscar Acosta Rodriguez i say someday from the hunchback of notre dame

Agreed. But I used to think it should’ve been “Someday.” Luis Miguel the Mexican singer was at the ceremony that night and I could’ve think he would have performed it up there because I liked his Spanish version and he would have done an amazing job performing the English version better than All-4-One

I agree she deserved a nomination. But hell, if they weren’t going to nominate that fine performance, they sure as hell weren’t going to give it to her. A pity. Madonna’s a much better actress than she gets credit for.

No

Absolutely no way Madonna beats Frances McDormand. No sir.

@@FlabbyTitmuss fargo sucked

@@emmalancaster2896 No she isn't

Not sure about the viewers, but they didn't try too hard as they do now. The chemistry between these ladies was genuine and funny. I have never had a genuine chuckle watching the Oscars over the past10+ years. it's just so contrived and fake now.

@@lepetitchat123 Even with all the craziness going on back then, at least you could count on Hollywood and Late Night to make us realize that we are all human and need a good laugh and a smile and not to take ourselves to seriously. It was almost as if it was a requirement to find humor to keep everyone from going off the rails. And I am talking about benign good natured fun that wasn't malicious on purpose but funny in context.

​@@lepetitchat123the chemistry is great between these 3 ladies is so good because they all have been friends for many years and acting for many years. It wouldn't surprise me if they had homes near eachother. Lol.

​@@williamthomas1 It's still like that on late night television. When I tune in and watch I still find the late shows funny but I don't watch as much as I use to. It's the Oscar's that haven't been that great. The last time the Oscar's had a great show I think was the year Will Smith smacked Chris Rock. I thought it was a great show until Will ruined the show. I still can't believe he did that.

Agree completely. He deserved the Oscar, too.

@Reginald Wilson I disagree. Considering the bad reputation R. Kelly has nowadays, the Oscar shouldn’t go to a sexual abuser, a kidnapper and a child pornographer. If a different film is to win instead, then it should be “Someday” or “Bells of Notre Dame” from “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”.

@@hunterolaughlin Cancel culture from the future, my god.

Preferably Hellfire.

@@sorenthefilmbrony I would prefer “Someday” or “Bells of Notre Dame” as the winner for Best Original Song if any song from Hunchback of Notre Dame would win in place of “You Must Love Me” from Evita.

meh. the songs from the Plamondon musical are much better

I agree. This is alittle surprising. i felt like whitney and r kelly should have been nominated.

The Mexican singer Luis Miguel was at the ceremony that night and I could’ve thought he also would’ve been there because he was going to perform “Someday.” I like the Spanish version so much that I prefer his rather than All-4-One's.

LMFAO 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣. I've always felt he was a big Jewish queen on the down low. Come on girls let's enjoy some Matzah Big Ball Soup! 😂😂😂😂😂

Such an underrated score and the songs too!

I've come to realize Hollywood is ok with anyone who doesn't speak to much truth or any truth. It's a town where they ask you what you do for a living before they ask you your name. I stayed there for a few months and I felt like everyone was a stepford robot, so what do you do, so what do you do!!! LMFAO 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣. Sometimes it felt very eerie to be completely honest. I was born and raised in New York City. I'm accustomed to brutal honesty. If you like it or not. 😂

And why should someone do all that???

Yeah isn't that something?

Adam Schlesinger probably would have eventually been one, had he not died of CV-19 this April. Nominated for an Oscar, two Tonys, winner of two Grammys and one Emmy, he was an amazing talent. His “That thing you do!” deserved the Oscar IMHO, but the one that won was beautiful and memorable, so I can’t complain too much.

There’s the soundtrack recording. The band didn’t actually perform at the Oscars, since the actual performers of the song were not in the film.

@@emmalancaster2896 But they were there right?

Justin Litke I’m not sure. On the soundtrack, Mike Viola of “The Candy Butchers” did the actual lead vocals on “That Thing you do!” with Adam Schlesinger (who wrote the song) performing back up vocals and playing bass. Rick Elias & Scott Rogness were two of the other musicians who made up the fictional Wonders. It’s been awhile, but I seem to remember they had some dancers attired in mod 1960s dress who danced to the song at the Oscars. The voices singing the song at the Oscars were never mentioned in the telecast, but I don’t recall them sounding like the musicians who actually played the song. That’s been over 20 years ago, so it’s hard to know. If you like the Wonders, I would strongly urge you to seek out Fountains of Wayne. They are one of the best American bands of the last 50 years, IMHO.

That film doesn't age well. Boring af

Jason Smith Juliette binoche

Thanks heavens there wasn't a song in The English Patient.

"Well thank heavens there wasn't a song in The English Patient is all I can say." This was the year The English Patient won 9 out of its 12 nominations and one of the few categories it didn't have a nomination in was Best Original Song.

Also, the comment was even funnier because it would have been ridiculous that a movie as tragic as the English Patient would feature a pop love song. And, to add insult to injury, it would have probably won in that category, too, had there been one.

AyPapi Mercado I’m afraid so.

Yeah, she’s always throwing shade at Madonna every chance she gets

*_Venezuela. That counts?_*

Think so. She’s always had a thing for Madonna.

Dude, I’m gonna have to disagree with you on giving the Oscar to I Believe I Can Fly. Considering the infamous bad reputation R. Kelly is in, it would be bad to give an Oscar to a sexual abuser, kidnapper and child pornographer. Even if I Believe I Can Fly did win, R. Kelly’s reputation would reflect badly on it years later.

@@hunterolaughlin This is before all that. I'm only going by at that time. Besides all that is irrelevant to his music.

@@supermariofan03 Still though, I’m not comfortable with the idea of giving an Oscar to a sexual abuser like R. Kelly. If it was a different singer that sang and perform the song, then I wouldn’t have a problem with the song winning. But since it’s by R. Kelly, I think the snub is justified this time. A sexual abuser like him never deserves an Oscar, even if his song or music is good.

You Must Love Me is so much better than I Believe I Can Fly

@@supermariofan03 Well, your choice has certainly aged well hasn’t it? My apologies for coming back to this, but with the recent news of R.K. Kelly’s 30 year incarceration, I felt I had to come back here. And now with that recent news, I feel more validated that the Academy, despite their bulls***, at least made one right decision in not awarding R.K. Kelly an Oscar. I think it’s for the best to change your choice if you don’t want other commenters criticizing you for choosing an R. Kelly song.

Ryan Perez agree

yw

AND FOR NO NOMINATION FOR MADONNA , IN THE ROLE OF HER LIFE.

@@sofiasantos4558 the academy never liked her never will. So sad. They will nominate gaga for a awful performance just give it to madonna. Sucks

I don’t know. I can see your point about R. Kelly should have been nominated for “I Believe I Can Fly”, but winning the Oscar.... well, considering R. Kelly’s reputation nowadays, I think it was probably for the best the Academy gave it to Tim Rice & Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Ahem. I would like to let you know that some Oscar winning songs such as “Over the Rainbow”, “White Christmas”, “When You Wish Upon a Star”, “The Way You Look Tonight”, “High Hopes”, “Theme from Shaft” and “My Heart Will Go On” are still remembered and sung. Especially those from the Golden Age of Hollywood such as “Over the Rainbow”, “White Christmas”, The Way You Look Tonight”, and “When You Wish Upon a Star”.

Shallow Skyfall

She wasn't

+Tavo Ruiz she was making fun of Madonna

jorge hawrowitz de la torre sanchez As always Lol

No , they hate MADONNA,, and were happy for the absence of nod.

@@sofiasantos4558 they will never be madonna and never will be

overrated ass song

That song should’ve won in my opinion

It was surprising that song wasn't nominated , but with what's been going on with R.Kelly right now it would still make the 1997 years original song win........well..............

rude!

Truth hurts, eh?

You Must Love Me is an incredible song, and the performance by Madonna is better than any other performance of the song since it was added to the live productions of Evita in 2006.
