Frank Borzage presents the Oscar for Directing to John Huston for "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" at the 21st Academy Awards in 1949. Hosted by Robert Montgomery.
So deserved. "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" should've won Best Picture as well. And I can't believe Humphrey Bogart didn't get a Best Actor nomination. I think it's his best performance.
@@theman2017inc He didn't deserve it for The African Queen. We saw it about two years ago, and it wasn't nearly as good as I had recalled it being almost 50 years earlier. I blame Kate Hepburn. Once her character pours out all of Charlie's whiskey and he falls in love with her, he completely submits to her, and completely forgets he's a drunk. Hepburn's best pictures--Bringing Up Baby and The Philadelphia Story--paired her with Cary Grant, whose characters never submitted to hers. The Academy gave Bogie the Oscar that year, simply because they decided he was due. Monty Clift gave by far the best performance that year in A Place in the Sun.
@@nstix2009xitsn Yes, I think Bogart winning for The African Queen was to make up for other snubs and to finally acknowledge his glorious career. It was much like Paul Newman winning best actor for The Color of Money (should've gone to James Woods that year).
I think most of the acceptance speeches in those days were like Huston's (or William Holden's when he won for Stalag 17): they just got up there, said thanks and walked off. I think people like Greer Garson were the exception.
one of my favorite films of all time Bogart was fantastic should have won Oscar Walter Huston should have won and did and God Bless Alphonse Bedoya for delivering one of the best lines in film
The Academy Awards, this year, could do a complete downgraded version like those of yesteryear like this. Basic stage design, minimal guests, make everything old fashioned. Everything old is new again (George Burns said something like that in a speech when he won his Oscar). I think it would be smart for the occasion and times we live in and people at home would be so jarred and surprised to see such a low key affair they may actually watch just to see if it's a fluke. It also may sit better and appear more authentic with people who have lost almost everything in the last thirteen months instead of seeing an ostentatious stage and presentation where people stand and say things about how we need to help and recognize those less fortunate or underrepresented.
Now if only Treasure or Red Shoes (my pick) had won Best Picture. Olivier deserved Best Actor, but only because Bogey wasn't nominated. And Hamlet is arguably the worst Best Picture decision the Academy has made because all the other four films were better.

I agree. He played Dobbs to perfection. What an actor...
Jackson Shrout compared to his Oscar win for THE AFRICAN QUEEN???
theman2017inc Sierra Madre is a far superior film and performance

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre has great directing.
John Huston leaving the podium like someone was ready to take a shot at him from the audience.
Back when the most talented were mostly uncertain and grateful. They wouldn't presume to use the Podium as a podium.
More like he was ready to take a celebratory shot himself.
He had already a speech for winning for the screenplay he didnt need to add much more
@@65g4 Is there any footage of that or was it not fimled?
Huston was a strange guy. The way he dashes off the stage like he was shot out of a cannon is hilarious.
John Huston won an Oscar the same night as his father, both for the same film. That is absolutely incredible.

Henry Blanke is the guy who produced the picture.
Now that's a terrific Oscar event ...nothing, "Over the top" ...thankful for Mr. Huston 🎭🎰
20 or so years later, there was a director with a high heart out there and the Academy virtually ignored him - Stanley Kubrick.
Bogarts best role
He deserved to give a speech longer than 3 seconds. 😆

“Madre Sierra the of Treasure!” ~Chandler Bing
Apparently, the nominees were under strict orders that year not to lollygag in ascending or descending the podium, or in their acceptance speeches.
OMG couldn't pronounce " Sierra Madre ' correct!!!
Henry who?

I have to agree Madre is one of my fav films of all time. Ive watchef all of Hamlet although Olivier was great in it the film was a real slog.
What shall it profit etc!
True director's and actor's get the award and leave as soon as they can. The fake ones waffle on about PC bullshit
