I remember thinking that at the time, when I watched this live. He was known for being a Method Actor back then, and he went so deeply into this character that perhaps it took several months to fully climb back out.
Tom Cruise SHOULD have won for Best Supporting Actor opposite Hoffman for Rain Man. NO QUESTION. I just watched the movie again, and it's TOTALLY ludicrous that Cruise didn't even get nominated, it's his BEST work. They were BOTH amazing.
Totally agree. It was this role for Cruise that I changed my mind about him. Thought he was a light weight basically before this. Born on the Fourth of July was the one that really blew me away...and this one.
Yeah, I feel sorry for Tom, Hollywood has it out for him, after his body of work, he has had tons of great performances (and a few bad ones) but I just think for political reasons and scientology people unfortunately hate him. Well, I don't, I separate the actor from his personal life which isn't my business. Tom is one of the hardest working actor there is, and some deference should be given from other actors.
Just watched the movie. This Oscar was well-deserved. But it bugs me how he didnt mention Tom Cruise. Apart from his excellent acting skill, the person he co-starred with should also be a major factor for his success
You are right. He forgot. But then the next presenter that came out said that Dustin was going crazy backstage and had begged him to mention that he wanted to thank Tom and how broken up he was that he had forgotten.
not really..winnona ryder said in an interview she hated her co star in dracula. gary oldman she thought he was a creep but they had good chemistry for the movie.
I remember the next presenter who came out to do the next segment said that Hoffman was pulling his hair in the green room because he forgot to thank Tom Cruise.
Yes, I forgot which presenter it was but he told the audience and Tom Cruise who was in the audience that Dustin was backstage very upset because he forgot to thank him. Then later in the evening, Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise presented together, and again, Dustin Hoffman said that he was so upset that he forgot to thank Tom . . . he said "Tom, I love you very much."
It makes that moment at the 2003 Oscars where both Kirk and Michael Douglas presented the best picture award and Kirk said and the winner is instead of the Oscar goes to even more funnier.
Dustin had researched Autism so thoroughly and was so careful to have the characteristics, it took him a long time to lose them all. Here, he was still in "Rain Man" mode.
Tom was awesome too in this movie. Actually it is hard to tell who is a lead actor in rain Man. From the first look you would feel it's Tom the lead actor in this movie, because he had so many dialogues and camera time.
I mean, Tom’s character kind of represents the whole arc of the story. Hoffman’s is obviously important but he’s the “straight man” that Tom plays off and is changed by. Can’t have one without the other. I feel like Tom’s performance was better than a couple of the other guys who got nominated.
Yeah. Cruise definitely should've been nominated. Definitely should've been thanked. Yeah. Cruise definitely should've been nominated and thanked during Hoffman's speech. Definitely should've been nominated and thanked. Yeah.
"To my father and his new friends," so beautiful. (When he won in 79, he dedicated it to all the out of work actors, and called them his family.) Total class and humility. Young actors, watch and learn.
Felipe M green book agree...shape of water was a good film, don’t agree at all...get out, another fantastic film...moonlight - easily one of the best films of the decade...12years a slave - again, one of the best of the decade, if not film history....I could list more, but again this was about ‘back then they awarded credible actors’...so Daniel day Lewis didn’t deserve for ‘there will be blood’?..Philip Seymour Hoffman didn’t deserve for ‘capote’?..DiCaprio for ‘revenant’?...mcconaughey for ‘Dallas buyers club?..some performances are Bette than others, yes (and same goes for movies)...but nothing in the Oscar has changed accept they are finally acknowledging a broader range of films...you base your opinion on one year...so let’s take a look at 86 - ‘out of africa’ best picture...really? Over witness or prizzis honor? The point is there were many, many years since the oscars inception mediocre films and actor performances have won awards or been nominated. It’s always been that way. Sometimes they get it right (rain man), sometimes they don’t (Shakespeare in love).
Felipe M and the black guys name is ‘Daniel kaluuya’ and if you watched the film, the trance scene where he literally has tears water falling down his face is reason enough to give the man a nomination. That was all real, and the actors guild respected his talents with a nomination too. Just because someone is an up and coming actor doesn’t mean that should disqualify them from an Oscar nom or win. Sure, let’s keep nominating Meryl Streep for decent - ok performances instead of actors who really deserve it. And by the way, Gary oldman won best actor that year which was well deserved from one of the best actors of his generation.
I saw Rain Man for the first time 2 weeks ago, and it was such a great movie, Dustin Hoffman was spectacular. I'm so happy that he won the Oscar he really deserved it for this movie.
I heard it took him a long time to get his mind out of the rain man character like about a year cause he was so into character for months preparing and making the movie
The thing I love about him is his humility. It's such a rare commodity when you are as well known and have won so many awards as Dustin has - to still be humble is a credit to the man as a truly lovely and genuine individual.
"K mart..." "What diffirence... _what DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE???_ It is underwear! Underwear is underwear!! It is underwear wherever you buy it!! In Cincinnati or wherever!!!" "K....K Mart! K Mart underwear!"
People who don't understand Hoffman's praise of Cruise don't understand the craft of film acting. He had to carry the plot, provide the exposition, and push the story forward. He did all the heavy lifting.
Dustin Hoffman is one of my all time favorite, if not THE favorite actor. He 110% deserved this Oscar, he gave one of the greatest performances of ALL time and one of my personal favorites of his roles, along with Kramer vs. Kramer, Midnight Cowboy, The Graduate, Death of a Salesman and Tootsie. On another note, I don't know why so many people say he's ugly? He looks nice here and was real cute when he was young!
Yeah I been nominated for seven Academy Awards. Yeah I won two, One for bad, two for good. Yeah thirteen Golden Globes, winning six including an honorary one. Yeah won four BAFTAs, three Drama Desk Awards, a Genie Award, and Emmy Award. Yeah.
Dustin's cute little smile... just love him. one of my all time favorite actors and he so deserved this honor. he seems to be such a down to earth kind of guy in his interviews.
I'm sure i'm not the only one who believes this, but Cruise was the real star of Rainman. His emotional delivery in just about every scene he is in is so powerful. He underwent a huge change in his character by the end of the film. Not saying Hoffman wasn't good, but Cruise gave it his all and was more the focal point in the film. Odd he didnt' even get nominated.
I don't think so. I mean, Cruise have had amazing performance that it wouldn't be the same without him, but Raymon Babbitt character is one of the greatest characters in the cinema history.
Its a master class in acting, if you know or have lived with someone with autism you can really see the different tells or signs, its almost like he's doing a impeccable impression of a certain person who he met and studied. The humming as they drive across the bridge for example such a pin point perfect characteristic among so many other details the performance becomes Oscar worthy
Dustin Hoffman DESERVED that Oscar for the performance he pulled out! No one could top for what he has done, and I am so happy that his hard work and dedication won him that award 🥇 you go, Dustin! You’re one of my favorite and talented actor! Love you so much !!
Incredible acting. Even after all this time has passed the film still has so much relevance to relationships, and the difficulty of assisting those we love who are not able to reciprocate, and the ending of this film Charlie realizes with a thundering crash what a sacrifice that is.
I feel that tom cruise arguably had the more difficult part to play, he truly developed as a character, but nonetheless dustin hoffman is a true legend
I have such admiration for Hoffman and his performance in Rain Man was amazing. But the more I watch Rain Man, I realize that Charlie was the lead character--the story was about his changes, not Raymonds, and Tom's role was really the lead one. Tom was excellent as well.
You are right ! But I believe tve main aim of the film was to show a new and growing amount of human beings that many other people in the world knew they really exist. And I tell you as a mum of a gorgeous little boy of five with autism. They are lovable. my son can play the piano and his music teacher cant stop cryi g when he realises that a little boy of 5 years that cannot speak can feel the music inside his heart and touch the piano without being tought previously. And not all the people with autism are extrwmely unsociable. But in this film Ray was like that because he was abandoned by their parents without love and the right tratment to succed in life.
@@raquelravanetti4934 People are all like computers. Some of us just run on different software. We can all learn how the other one runs if we make the effort to think outside of the box.
I’m so glad Dustin won, but Gene Hackman deserved the Oscar just as much. His performance in Mississippi Burning, especially in the scene in the barber shop, was just incredible.
When formidable talent meets honesty...Dustin is so real, it's almost surreal. Such a nice, warm, intelligent and gifted person. Long life, happy days and may we enjoy more of his fine work!
I loved this film. I have known one autistic child heart breaking. He wouldn't talk to his parents. Always sat quietly but the child still understood things.
The greatest actors are about to die. Dustin Hoffman, Jack Nicholson, Robert de Niro, Al Pacino and all the others. We will lose them soon. Sad, very sad. There will never be a Jack Nicholson, a Dustin Hoffman, a Robert de Niro or a Al Pacino. You are all HEROES!!!
What a precious, humble man!!! I must say that I have been touched once again by this amazing film as my husband and I revisited it recently. Who cares if he spoke eloquently or not. Other actors should take a page out of his book and be ever so grateful for their successes as well. I promise you that when I watch Rain Man again and I see the scene where he and his brother, Charlie Babbitt put their foreheads together, I'm going to cry...again. Beautiful, just beautiful!
Dustin forgot to mention Tom Cruise and just as he walked off stage he remember and probably felt pretty bad. Can you imagine the pressure you have on stage to thank people. That's a stressful thing to give a speech like that. Not easy to do. I think he thanks him later in the show which was a nice touch. Damn good actor.
IDK all about this guy. What I do know is that he is one *gifted* actor. He's here at the Oscars still shaking off Raymond's mannerisms. Some people just have it. And he is one of them.
If he had looked disappointed after Hoffman’s name was announced I’d believe it, but he looked genuinely happy for him. I think Hanks honestly just wanted to kiss his wife. I could be wrong, just the way I read it.
Unfourtantly it was too strong of a year for those to be nominated. Like who should you take out, out of the nominees? Gene Hackman, Max Von Sydow, Edward James Olmos, Tom Hanks? Its impossible.
Is that based on the novel? If so I remember reading that in college and always wanted to comment to the professor how I thought this was basically a play by play of that Nirvana song. It was, but this was back before Google and I said nothing.
I don’t believe “Rain Man” is my all times favorite, and the most unbelievable fact is that it is not due to the performance of Mr. Hoffman rather the performance of his brother in the movie.
He seemed nervous as hell but very fortunate to win the oscar an showed his appreciation to about everyone just because people are rich an famous don’t mean they don’t get stage fright to lol.
Not a little of the films success was down to the role Tom Cruise played; pity Dustin didn't mention this great performance.....imagine the film without Cruise as Charlie and his outstanding , gradual change of attitude to Raymond......budding actors take note.

Tom Cruise should have been nominated in the best supporting actor category. I was mesmerized by his performance as well. 4:55

As brilliant as Hoffman's performance was, I think he would not have done as well without Tom Cruise as his acting partner.
Yes. Wonderful film. But very remiss of him to ignore the impact of Tom Cruise.
Tom Cruise was excellent in this film.
The performance of the straight man always gets overshadowed. They are usually the one's who make their more colorful co-stars shine.

Are you sure about that? Because in his Golden Globes speech, Hoffman said "Thank you Tom Cruise, you are my brother."
?? the watch again 2:35min He thanked Tom Cruise as 1st person!
IDK all about this guy. What I do know is that he is one *gifted* actor. He's here at the Oscars still shaking off Raymond's mannerisms. Some people just have it. And he is one of them.
Absolutely no doubt it's Dustin's greatest roll. Much like forest gump is tom hanks. So glad he got the oscar.

Have you not seen Midnight Cowboy, or Kramer vs. Kramer?
He was excellent in 'Little Big Man' and 'Marathon Man'
No way! The Graduate was his best performance!

Tess.....you have a lot to learn about an a tots life's work, as well as movies made b4 1989
1:12 Tom Hanks kisses his wife knowing tonight would not be his night. Or any of the other nominees. Clearly one performance stood out that year.
the best acting performance i ever watched in my life still watching rain man
Tom Hanks looks sooo young I realize that I should watch his early movies!
This Oscar was so deserved, great movie and great actor.
Its kind of strange how he didnt directly thank tom cruise
he should thank 'TOM CRUISE "
HE FORGOT HE WAS TOO NERVOUS BUT HE FIXED IT LATER
Lol....he's still in character man!
@@d.tslash Later when ?
It's still entertaining to watch this many years after it came out. A great performance and Tom Cruise was great also.
I watched that movie when I was like 12 on New Year's Day with my mom in our kitchen. Dustin killed it.
Good memory! I saw this when I was 12 as well, but remember little else.
How on earth did he forget Tom. .how ??? Had it not been for Tom his character wod have been Flat. Anyone agrees
I would guess there was no love lost between them. Both Hoffman and Cruise have huge egos!
He's still in character
All great movies and great versatile actors but Hoffman, hands down is the clear winner here :)
The fact that Cruise wasn’t nominated shows they still get these wrong. The movie works because of Hoffman AND Cruise.
Great performance by Hoffman but Edward James Olmos was tremendous in Stand and Deliver. He was equally deserving.
either of those two nominees would have fully deserved it.
Tom Hanks thought he had it...haha
Big, lol. Can't believe that flick was up for consideration.
I thought that was a bit premature!
If he had looked disappointed after Hoffman’s name was announced I’d believe it, but he looked genuinely happy for him. I think Hanks honestly just wanted to kiss his wife. I could be wrong, just the way I read it.
@@briantwiss9078 I think Hanks always kisses his wife right before the award is announced, win or lose.
@@briantwiss9078 Yeah he didn't show any expression of disappointed or shocked.
0:38 river phoenix in the back lol
wow, good eyes!
fatefai he looked pretty bored lol
Heroin will do that to you.
@@vinnyd01 when you are on heroin, all you ever think of is heroin.
With Martha Plimpton by his side.
That moment between Hoffman and Hackman was so fucking classy! So cool!
I’m always moved when I see rain man. My brothers autistic and its Hoffman’s best work.
I'm baffled that Jeremy Irons wasn't nominated for Dead Ringers, as well as Bob Hoskins for Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Or Bill Murray in Scrooged
RyT1994 Tom Cruise for Rain Man, too. Competitive year.
Unfourtantly it was too strong of a year for those to be nominated. Like who should you take out, out of the nominees? Gene Hackman, Max Von Sydow, Edward James Olmos, Tom Hanks? Its impossible.
2 Oscars. It's a shame he doesn't get any good role nowadays. In "Perfume" he was excellent though.
Is that based on the novel? If so I remember reading that in college and always wanted to comment to the professor how I thought this was basically a play by play of that Nirvana song. It was, but this was back before Google and I said nothing.
The Oscar curse
What a year of amazing movies. Tom Hanks in Big and Edward James Olmos for Stand and Deliver! But Dustin Hoffman's performance is stellar.
I don’t believe “Rain Man” is my all times favorite, and the most unbelievable fact is that it is not due to the performance of Mr. Hoffman rather the performance of his brother in the movie.
Kim Peek was a true inspiration, Hoffman nailed the role 🙏
Dustin hoffman is a great actor and truely deserved winning this oscar. He is such a humble and nice guy.
He seemed nervous as hell but very fortunate to win the oscar an showed his appreciation to about everyone just because people are rich an famous don’t mean they don’t get stage fright to lol.
Not a little of the films success was down to the role Tom Cruise played; pity Dustin didn't mention this great performance.....imagine the film without Cruise as Charlie and his outstanding , gradual change of attitude to Raymond......budding actors take note.
I saw the film again recently and it was Tom Cruise who really carried the picture.
I agree. I just watched it again last night.Tom Cruise is excellent in this movie.
From me, Dustin Hoffman is the best actor of our time! Sinse The Graduate!
Douglas would be GREAT as a voice actor.
Classy man. Amazing actor. Beautiful eyes.
Who thanks the disabled friends of one's father? Dustin Hoffman, that's who! It was beautiful to hear.
