1:48 Shirley's reaction ❤
Good on Shirley Mac Alain’s for not following the lead of that bloke next to her in applauding, now that’s sisterly love 💖 for you
MacLaine
Team Vanessa all the way! Paddy clearly has no idea what he was talking about as there was no agenda being pushed for personal gain by Vanessa. The only reason she brought the whole thing up was because of the threats she had been receiving, which does make her distain for the individuals responsible completely understandable.
Bullshit.
Just say you don’t like Jews
...Paddy forgot to read the nominees because he hadn't recovered from trying
to humiliate Miss Redgrave.
1:47 Shirley MacLaine represents me...
So it's ok for Paddy Chayefsky to be scathingly critical of everything and win Oscars for it, but not for Vanessa Redgrave to be critical of a group who threatened her life simply for making a documentary? The hypocrisy is strong in the late Chayefsky.
This individual did EXACTLY what he accused Redgrave of doing. Only Vanessa didn't have to follow a script but he DID. Pompous a hole.
Hahah I know. It's kinda like being in church and telling someone, "I caught you peeking during the prayer!"
7:34 Throwing some shade on Paddy.
It was a great clapback. !! Paddy was wrong.
Not sure who Shirley McLaine's date was, but I am guessing that was their last .
Bahahaha
Her date was Arthur Laurents.
Yeah, she wasn't exactly overwhelmed with enthusiasm at Chayefsky's comments, was she? By contrast, he was cheering it on like he was at a football game.
Arthur Laurents was an openly gay man with a long-term partner. So they were probably just attending as friends, unless it was coincidental they were next to each other.
Laurents wrote maclaines film the turning point, nominated that year.
So he's sick and tired of people hijacking the Oscars to give personal opinions. And he expresses that sickness and tiredness by...... hijacking the Oscars to give his personal opinion. I guess two wrongs do make a right.
Personal political opinions is what he meant, I believe
I think that in a way Paddy is doing the same thing, because in the video he's having a political proclamation too. Also i think that Vanessa knew exactly what she was doing. I mind, she knew that with her words she'd cause all that noise, but she didn't care and she kept talking. I congrats Vanessa Redgrave
He was defending the sanctity of the Academy. Clearly that is now lost to Marxists such as yourself.
If an actor said a word against terrorism or communism at the Academy Awards, now THAT would be an act of bravery, because he'd be pilloried.
Greg Adams Sorry but let me tell you that i'm not a marxist. I don't like marxism. What i'm saying is that Vanessa was so brave to do that, beacause i think she knew that wasn't the right place for her proclamation but she did it after all. And the other thing is that Paddy is doing exactly the same that Vanessa did.
No, he's not doing the same thing. It's sad how sloppy and lazy thinking has become in the era of false equivalencies.
THIS WASNT AN ANTI SEMITE SPEECH.... SHE TALK AGAINST FACISM... ....she spoke about the stature of jews all over the world...clean up your ears plisssss¡¡¡ bravo vanessa¡¡¡¡ bravoooo
he criticises a person making a "political speech ... propagat(ing) their ... personal political propaganda" by making a 'political speech' ... propagating his personal political propaganda ...
I suppose Paddy would object to an actor winning an Oscar in the 1940s and speaking out against Nazism too? No, didn't think so.
You have some nerve. You equalize Israel's actions with Nazism, chutzpah in the highest.
And I know Redgrave said this a long time ago, but any thinking person even then knew who the goodies were between Israel and the PLO. For you to feel the need to make your comment in these days of violent Islamism is quaint.
And we all know that it required no courage for Redgrave to make these comments at such a venue. We also know that if a conservative spouted a political opinion at any Oscar ceremony, he would be hooted off the stage. Just let any actor try to talk anti communism and see.
For me, I prefer that glamorous or talented actors talk about the work and leave the politics for other venues.
honeyjbc1 - I have nerve?! Do you know how Israel came into being? Do you know who blew up the King David Hotel and killed people? I'll give you a clue - it wasn't Palestinians.
Messylin I'm Jewish and agree with you 100%.
Somewhere down the comments section, someone mentioned how Jane Fonda, in her Oscar acceptance speech, did not speak about her political views and activism (despite being well known) because "now is not the time." I'm guessing that's what Paddy meant: there is a different time and place to make political opinions known, just not at an awards show.
Who knows, maybe he'd have said the same for speeches against Nazism too.
Absolute prick
Shirley MacLaine was not impressed lol
+Barbara G I'm not an expert lip reader but her date was applauding and said something like 'Don't you agree', I think she responded by saying 'No, I think it's true'. But I could be wrong. I guess she just didn't feel the need to clap.
Yes, cedrictrent92, you have it right. The fellow sitting to Shirley MacLaine's left, who is clapping enthusiastically to Paddy Chayefsky's comments, is Arthur Laurents. Laurents was a wonderful playwright, screenwriter and director who, among other things, wrote two of Broadway’s landmark shows, “Gypsy” and “West Side Story,” and created one of Hollywood’s great romances, “The Way We Were.” His work will be remembered and enjoyed long after we're all gone. Laurents was obviously disappointed that MacLaine did not agree with him, and the issue became a wedge between their friendship for some time after this night.
Well I wouldn't care about what that bimbo thought!She thinks with whats between her legs not her ears!
The only thing most of these actors are impressed with are themselves!
The irony of this having come from the guy who wrote Network...
@Dreaming except she was NOT a hypocrite !!!!
As a public figure i believe you have the capacity to bring attention to important issues especially regarding human rights. I applaud vanessa redgrave. Paddy is a hypocrite but a hell of a writer.
If you disagree with Redgrave's actions, you must also have disagreed with Brando using a proxy to speak about Native American rights at his Oscar acceptance. Though, how many people would call what Brando did wrong?
I was just thinking that!
But I still want to say that what Brando did was different because there was no personal gain in it, which is what I think Chayefsky was saying. Redgraves spoke with an agenda to justify her own actions and defend her self-produced documentary.
Plus, lots of people boo'd Brando, too.
Just saying. :D
Are you kidding? Many people thought what Brando did, while perhaps well-intentioned, was a bit ridiculous. At least he did accept his first Oscar win in person.
Paddy grossly misrepresented what happened with Vanessa Redgrave. When Redgrave arrived at the Oscars, the far-right/Zionist Jewish Defense League had people outside the theater protesting Redgrave, due to her production of a pro-Palestinian documentary that year (unrelated in any way to the "Julia" nomination for which she was attending the ceremony). It was the PROTESTERS that politicized the evening, not Redgrave--she simply addressed the incident, which everyone on the red carpet must have noticed since they were being vocal and disruptive outside, needlessly to bringing politics into the event. Redgrave was responding to, not initiating, the polemics.
How I wish your comment could be vastly liked and pushed to the top of the section so more people could see it
Exactly!
It looks like Arthur Lawrence on the right asked Shirley if she was going to clap, and she said, “Noooooooo”…lol !
Alvin Sargent later won again for the screenplay to "Ordinary People." He also wrote the script for "Spider-Man 2"!
Paddy is a bit of a hypocrite
Vanessa gave the best Oscar speech of all times! 40 years later we continue to talk about that moment. And she is one of the best actresses of the world!!
Joe Pesci's speech was better.
I thought Americans support Israel but I'm surprised how y'all support Redgrave's speech
There is a book out now about Chayevsky and the making of "Network". It references this speech. The author says that Shirley MacLaine and the director on her left who was clapping didn't speak to each other again for years because he clapped and she didn't.
Claps for MacLaine not clapping. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Paddy took advantage of the audience, pure and simple, and he was also wrong, as winning an Oscar most certainly IS a pivotal moment in history, so the laughs on him actually
@@maxipazz8214 It may be pivotal for the person who won, but it's barely a moment in history, much less a pivotal one. That title is reserved for things like the fall of the Berlin Wall.
@@FabinhoFlapp fuck maclaine
@@maxipazz8214 lmao in what way is redgrave winning an oscar a pivotal moment in history? I don’t see much global changes happening because she has an oscar...
Shirley Maclaine supports Vanessa Redgrave
A great screenwriter indeed, but a pontificating blowhard on this occasion. He was a hypocrite--veering wildly off-topic and doing pretty much what he was railing against. Redgrave had received death threats, her films continously faced boycotts merely for her being in them, and her livelihood repeatedly threatened simply because she held political views that were not popular. Her acceptance speech, charged as it was, reflected the role for which she won and was, into the bargain, correct.
Completely agree with each word.
Well said. He seemed like a very well-spoken and intelligent individual, but his hypocrisy shadowed it.
Alvin Sargent wrote all the Spiderman movies, inclucing The Amazing Spiderman. However, he didn't wrote the TASM 2.
This explains a lot
Isn’t that woody Allen
I'm glad Alvin Sargent won, because the screenplay for Julia is a brilliant one. However, when he thanks "a lady whose named was called Julia" in his speech, he's obviously unaware that "Julia" never actually existed. Lillian Hellman made the whole thing up.
Three cheers for Paddy Chayefsky! Some of the best comments at an Oscar ceremony by a presenter - and eloquently stated too. It is so arrogant for "stars" to highjack award shows with their personal politics. It was great that someone finally said what many (and likely most) viewers think and feel. Thank you Paddy!
I wonder if Paddy Chayefsky would still have the same opinion on Israel if he lived to see what they're doing today? Arab bashing was perfectly fashionable in America of the 1970's. I hope he wouldn't turn into one of the same TV monsters that he so eloquently predicted in Network. I am impressed by the level of discourse and courtesy shown by both him and Redgrave.
They do come out of the woodwork, don't they?
Let anyone say a word of respect for Israel and here they are.
Arab bashing? You are in love with the PLO, the Islamists and their tyrannical and worse behavior?
Level of discourse? Can one keep calm in the face of what Islamists are doing?
The anti-Semites troll these websites day and night. Have you no job to attend to?
I didn't know that you had been designated by the Academy as the Oscar acceptance speech Police. Considering that Fonda won her first Best Actress Oscar in 1971, and I was relating the quotation from memory, I don't think that I distorted the substance of her remarks. Parenthetically, Fonda and Redgrave became close friends during the making of Julia. Jane simply made a tactical decision not to politicize the event.
When Fanda won hers she did not make a big political speech she was classy about it said I could say a lot of things but will just say thank you
Paddy has three solo writing Oscars '..... Nobody else can equal that.
Woody Allen also won three Oscars for Best Original Screenplay - Annie Hall, Hannah and her Sisters and Midnight in Paris
+Pablo Frank so has Billy Wilder: The Lost Weekend, Sunset Boulevard and The Apartment
@@pablofrank2466 Annie hall is shared!
@@HAL-vm3wn he said solo Oscar!
I love that Lucas was nominated for Star Wars. 40 years later, adjusted for inflation top movie, top series of films by a mile. Only Annie Hall from that list is even remembered and horribly dated even though funny, and of course Allen unfairly fallen. Goodbye Girl? Quinn Cummings?
Julia? Marsha Mason? Omg these are nobodies. Oh God? Remember these schlock movies? Omg
Star Wars is the king of cinema, Lucas a god.
Redgrave scorned, hardly worked again, dead children. Liam Neeson husband of dead daughter newest member of foot in mouth club, soon to be history, he'll never work again. Funny how transitory Oscars can look. Save the dress 👗.
Network is my favorite film and arguably the finest American screenplay ever written. However, Chayefsky a) was indeed a hypocrite and a bigot himself and b) had a tendency to get overly intellectual with his writing. A great deal of Network, while brilliant, features absolutely impossible dialogue.
Alvin Sargent gave a wonderfully subtle rebuttal to Chayefsky's obvious hypocrisy. Julia's a masterpiece in story telling and film making and I don't think Redgrave's comments were at all misplaced, given the circumstances of the movie.
RIP Alvin Sargent
Actually it was a very pivotal moment in history her winning
Sadly true
Wow Chayefsky's speech didn't get any boos or hisses whatsoever and a louder applause than Redgrave's speech got. People really don't like it when an entertaining event has to get shaken up by political statements and biases that drown a simple thanks for their work and it's amazing how political speeches were openly bashed back then at the Oscars and now everyone just sits in silence with frowns on their faces. I can only imagine everyone wanted Joaquin Phoenix to shut up but didn't want to be rude so they let him finish and complained in private.
You don't have the full picture. When Redgrave was nominated for the oscar a far right zionist group called JDL protested her nomination. So Redgrave simply thanked the academy for standing up against them. Chayefsky, who was on the far right himself, pretends that he is apolitical but what he really implies is that he would prefer the Academy to blacklist Redgrave, which is exactly what happened afterwards.
@@despooked I was fully aware she was being picketed for that nomination and that she was responding to all those protests and even threats that she received. It just amazes me that someone who counteracts that criticism of hers would get a bigger round of applause considering how the JDL is kind of regarded as a terrorist group anyway and not everyone in Hollywood, even if they are Jewish, could have fully supported that movement to be angry about what Redgrave had to say. These days whenever someone makes a critique about social issues or certain groups in their speeches, apart from Michael Moore, no one really boos or yells about it, they just sit silently with understanding or frustration.
@@codyhoskins1319 If you're surprised, you don't know much about Hollywood
I read some of the comments saying that Annie Hall didn’t deserve best original screenplay...
Sometimes I wish I couldn’t read
Clearly you can't if you think it deserved to win!
LOL Shirley MacLaine's face when Paddy was talking
It's impossible to imagine the Oscar producers now inviting a writer or screenwriter to present an award unless she or he was already a celebrity in some way.
He was
wow, the academy really messed up here. annie hall beating star wars in screenplay, directing, and picture is an absolute crime. one of those movies changed the world while the other is cute but low key mid as hell... shameful
Paddy, both winner movies have names, right?
Wonderful award presentation by Mr. Chayefsky. He is such a force and arguably, in my opinion, the greatest screenplay writer of the 20th century.
Chayefsky was a great screenwriter [ Marty, Middle Of The Night, Network ] and in this context, I agree with his criticism of Vanessa Redgrave. She won the supporting actress Oscar for Julia because she gave the best performance that year in Zinnemann's film. She should have borrowed a page from Jane Fonda's speech after winning for Klute; at the height of her activism in opposition to the Vietnam War, Fonda said "there is a great deal to say, but this is not the time".
No matter where you stand "Oh, I forgot to read the nominees!" was CLASSIC!! *LOL*
Redgrave & Dreyfus were not having it! Good for them!!!
Paddy Chayefsky is one of the greats but I find it odd that he had a problem with political proclamations. I worry that its only when they showing support for Palestinian people?
Have you seen The Americanization of Emily?
I would have respected Paddy's comments if he had just stopped after that first applause line. There was no need to continue and identify Vanessa Redgrave by name. That was hurtful and unnecessary. Everyone in the audience knew what he was referring to.
kettle meet pot
Annie Hall and Julia has great screenplay.
"Not when a Jew does it to a Gentile"
Chayefsky when accused of trying to black list Vanessa Redgrave after he made sure she woundn't be given a role in Network. prick
#FreePalestine
Totally agree with Paddy a simple thank will suffice
That speech of Mr. Chayefsky resonates with Ricky Gervais' Golden Globe appeal to those who will win, not to use their winning moment as political paltform.
Well said, Paddy...very well said!
Allen genius.
Brickman lucky.
Sargent brilliant.
Chayefsky rude.
And MacLaine not clapping stupid comments and making the night.
They don't make Academy Awards like this anymore...
"...for the propogation of their own personal political propoganda." Say that three times fast. Chayefsky wasn't expressing political opinions, but rather speaking out against it.
1:11 why are we clapping? 😂
Paddy Chayefsky - one of the best ever.
This great speech fell on deaf ears.
oh the irony
I accept your premise regarding quotation marks, however, Webster's New World Dictionary defines "libel" as "any false and malicious written or printed statement, or any sign, picture, or effigy, tending to expose a person to public ridicule, hatred, or contempt or to injure a person's reputation in any way" and " anything that gives an unflattering or damaging picture of the subject". As a practicing attorney for 35 years, please explain how my inadvertent misstatement constitutes Libel.
3:29 is he reading a magazine?
Team Paddy all the way (even though I haven't seen his films).
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and screw Vanessa.
Don't use quotations if you paraphrase, please. "There's a great deal to say , but I'm not going to say it tonight. I just want to say thank you very much."
I love the way people commenting on on the "hypocritical" and "wrong" Chayefsky in this instant are trying to use big words and sound smart as if somehow your poor writing is at all an affectatious way of showing how "smart" or "knowing" you are. Please express opinion intelligently.As for the clip, I agree with Paddy here, shut up and accept your oscar, you are being awarded an oscar for a piece of work you have done in entertainment, nobody cares what you have to say, accept your award, thank the people you must and go.
***** What are you talking about? He was agreeing with Chayefsky...
"Affectatious"??!? Is that one of those big words you were talking about? At least they didn't make up words!
Her acceptance was entirely appropriate, as she was thanking the Academy nominators and voters for not allowing their selection to be deterred by the intimidation tactics of the JDL
Paddy was so awesome
They were burning effigies of her outside 🤡
Considering the events in Israel during October 2023, Chayefsky's broadside against anti-Semitism is still tragically relevant.
Screenplay and Diane Keaton are the only awards I agree with about Annie Hall because they were both well deserving.
Diane Keaton? Yeah. Screenplay? HELL NO. Star Wars should've won for being a standout on the three-act structure and too many quotable lines to count.
Funny, I have an OSCAR book that says that after Paddy denounced Vanessa's speech, "he got as many boos as she did". Well, my ears may be misinterpreting, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Star Wars being nominated for a Screenplay award is like Sylvester Stallone being nominated for acting.
Empire Strikes Back did deserve more nominations atleast don't you think?
vaness made an idiot out of you mister......hear again...her speech----ifyou domt mind..
He was right.
This is what I was looking for. Thanks Paddy
Do some research, pal. If you think the use of "Zionist hoodlums" is not anti-Jewish then I'd like to have some of what you're smoking.
me too.
Jeez, Paddy was *LEAGUES* before his time. Imagine what he would’ve been like hosting with today’s Oscars
Paddy Chayefsky was truly a class act. Not only was he a brilliant writer, but he was also a wonderful person. He continues to be an inspiration to writers to this day. He was also to be congratulated for his opening remarks opposing Vanessa Redgrave's flagrant anti-Jewish and anti-Israel diatribe. Chayefsky knew well that Redgrave favored Islamic terrorism, and she herself never denied that she supported them. If Chayefsky were alive today, he would feel even more sensitive about attacks on Israel, especially after the barbaric islamic attacks on Americans, Israelis, and other nations throughout the world. Obviously, based on the huge applause in response to his opening remarks, the Academy audience strongly agreed with Chayefsky. Yet, there were quite a few in the audience who did not applaud, and they were probably the same leftist anti-American, anti-Israel Hollywood group in the audience that applauded Vanessa Redgrave's anti-Jewish/Israel diatribe.
Remember its not terrorism when governments do it.
Sure when government sponsor terrorist acts that's terrorism too. Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Pakistan do it all of the time.
And what about if a government carpet bombed civilians in an open air prison?
All depends on the circumstances.
Care to explain the circumstances?
I do miss that writers no longer announce the screenwriting Oscars, Chayefsky's dated grandstanding notwithstanding.
Of course, Mr. Chafeysky wasn't expressing a political opinion but Miss Redgrave was.
I couldn't have said it better. Agreed on all accounts.
I'm not the speech Police. I am, however, very interested in blatant acts of Libel which put delicious food on my table and automobiles and motorcycles in my garage. When you use quotation marks, you are obligated to use exact words.
Well Paddy, things haven't changed much. Today's Oscars are even worse.
"Some of my best friends are Jewish" is the classic excuse. Notice how the audience erupted when Chayefsky spoke out against Redgrave. They were almost entirely on his side. The Oscars should never be used as a platform to preach hate in the way that Redgrave did, she's a deplorable human. Too bad she was never as charming as her sister Lynn
A man telling a woman what to do and people erupting with applause. So much has changed in 43yrs 🙄
It has nothing to do with him being a man and her being a woman. He was right. And i say that as a woman.
1:42
Nice stage
Good ol' Arthur Laurents...1:49
Who the hell is he?
@@maxipazz8214 The angry little man sitting next to Shirley Maclaine. Google him. You're in for a wild ride.
what were you smoking? you turned out deaf and blind? plis hear the whole speech....will you? hugs.
Love the way he puts 2nd rated actress in her place. Priceless!
Today the Oscars is a political propaganda show.
I understand the concept that Woody Allen, who began his illustrious career as a writer for Sid Caesar and as a stand up comedian, felt uncomfortable at awards ceremonies and in competition with other writers and directors; however, in hindsight, shouldn't he have acknowledged his recognition by his peers for the Best Picture and Original Screenplay Oscars for Annie Hall? Look at his competition here: Arthur Laurents [ Gypsy, The Way We Were ]; George Lucas, Neil Simon [ The Odd Couple ].
you are damn right...¡¡
Paddy was SUCH a prick to say that, he really was.
I can’t believe the guy who wrote Network would be against free speech.
Yes, she is a deplorably anti-Semite. Paddy did exactly the same thing with his rant, though. He was politicking just as she was. I loved his alliteration, though:)
Take that, Ms Redgrave! And all you self-righteous who are having grand delusions of being! I salute Paddy Chayefsky here.
So funny that the Academy used the same intro music until a few years ago.
Paddysplaining.
Paddy missed a great moment to just do his job.
Monsieur le censeur, bonsoir !
Pick one:
- Academy Awards is entertainment, nothing else.
- Academy Awards is about political debates, and it should totally affect the results.
