Hugh 'Wolverine' Jackman Sings at the 81st Oscars ►► ruclips.net/user/shortsUFTM9hXvRhM
How is the musical performance with Beyonce not on your page?
Wow!
Ich bin unglaublich beeindruckt!
Ich weiß das er so viele Talente hat aber diese Energie so lange durchzuhalten und die Stimme ist die ganze Zeit perfekt! Ich verneige mich vor so viel Ausstrahlung!
This is Boeing.
@@annettebauer3952 Das waren 7 Minuten, der Typ hat die Hauptrolle in Musicals gespielt. 🤦♂
@@alri1054 ach so .... naja wenn Du das auch so machst.... sorry doch nicht so doll....
Hugh Jackman deserved an Oscar for hosting the Oscars. 🏆
They, not Hugh, actually won an Emmy for this Oscar.
YES!
Absolutely !!!!
A tony for hosting the Oscar’s
Best Oscar opening of all times
Didn't roast anyone, didn't ridicule any soul, was very humble, entertained everyone, celeberated the movies that came out, celeberated people's hard work, kept it wholesome, class act.
That’s our boi Hugh
Well, he kiiinda roasted New Zealand in the beginnig there... ;)
I mean imagine being someone who was there for The Reader, lmao.
The best breed of generations before millennial. After that, ridiculing, roasting and berating are the norm for today's generations
Proud of our hugh❤
He's a broadway musical actor. You don't get to perform on a Broadway cast without being really, really good. Showed his talent here.
Why can't most Broadway actors become movie stars? They are more talented than most Hollywood movie actors.
@@lepetitchat123, I COMPLETELY agree with you!! I just think their acting is so much better. But there is just a small handful that come with the natural ability to act like alot of the old time actors and actresses.
@shellyschulz5835 charisma is the most important quality in a film star. Talent is not that important lol
@@lepetitchat123 that makes A LOT of sense!!
@@lepetitchat123.
10 yrs later and this is still the best opening of any Oscars.
15 years
People can't hate Hugh Jackman.. He is extremely lovable
Well said!
Hel A yup
How can one hate him? He's Wolverine!
Diego Perez no he just want to be one of those "i'm not mainstream!" kid.. :)
1 : 563 people.. let him be lol
Poor Chris Hansen. He's butt hurt that the majority of people went to see Hugh Jackman's last X-Men film, "Logan," and that many are even saying his performance in it is worthy of an Oscar nomination.
He should win an oscar for best opening number
***** Actually he didn't. He won an emmy for hosting the toni awards. For the oscars he only got nominated. But i think u are right. He should have won everything with this.
massimosamurai
The writers won an Emmy.
DOS Nostalgia And those writers names?
Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab.
svenhoek86 Do you know their names?
Larry Mahnken And those writers names?
Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab.
6:00 Hugh almost bursting into laughter while performing made my day 😂
It’s funny because the dance has nothing to do with the movie.
He didn't have time to see it as he said in the song...
.. but yet he has time to choreograph a dance number dedicated to it.
That's probably why he's laughing
This will always be my favorite Oscars opening. Sooo talented beyond words
Happy new year. With a grateful heart, I wanna say thank you for your kind words. Your kind words attracted me.
It's an honor entertaining you. Where are you texting from dear
And here we have Hugh Jackman's audition for The Greatest Showman
Yes! And did you notice that some of those dance moves made it into the opening of “The Greatest Showman?” ❤️
Don't forget "Les Misérables" which coincidentally stars both Hugh Jackman & Anne Hathaway
Hugh Jackman started doing musical theatre long before he did movies
One of the producers for the Oscars saw Hugh's rehearsal and thought of PT Barnum, and that Barnum would probably want Hugh to play him. Then he went on to be a producer of TGS.
😂😂😂
He's truly The Greatest Showman.
@@drphilmyboo5481 Talking about The Greatest Showman started two weeks after the Oscars. It took nearly seven years to get the film made.
@@martijnfrenks2738 No. It was already planned.
galing ni idol wolverine!!!
What a legendary Oscar opening, will really make history. He is literally trying not to laugh at 3:52 haha. What a likable guy.
Yes. Much loved...Greatest Showman. ❤️
14 years have past since this legendary opening… it never gets old, I sometimes come back just for the feel good of it.
Please bring him back. After the Will Smith/Chris Rock fiasco, he's the only one that can save the Oscars.
He is the only one I can trust
... and put him on the sinking ship? No thank you.
There needs to be a level of professionalism and civil behavior.
Yes, some 'comedy' goes too far or is not funny, but to resort to assault was dreadful.
Apart from the theater audience, there is an audience at home, and this is Hollywood's chance to show its quality, its good side in a market of cheap streaming services.
You're probably right.👍
They need to bring Ricky Gervais up in that bih...He'll take care of it, lol.
hugh:"I'm wolveriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiineee!"
me *while wiping tears*: and you will always be.
And I am iron man
Hero Men I don’t care
I read ur comment at the exact moment when Jackman said those lines
Notice how he's trying not to laugh throughout the whole video... Shows just how decent and how much a nice person he really is. Hugh Jackman is one of the best people ever.
And he is the greatest showman
Incredible. No stupid ridiculous cringey jokes, no insulting people without regard and just clean jokes and good humor with a super memorized number and choreography. Insane.
Even a decade later I still occasionally sing 'the reader the reader I haven't seen the reader' to myself 🤣
Same Robin. It's been in my head!
Same
I like that part too
Same here… for me this is the perfect opening number
I don't even remember what movie that was
I remember the others though!
So The Reader must have been entirely forgettable
Standing ovation for an opening routine... only the greatest showman can achieve this.
Nighthawk Rox and Neil Patrick Harris, 2013 Tony’s.
Dan Harmon?
NPH does it every time he hosts, too.
Him + Dan Harmon + Rob Schrab
Nighthawk Rox uhm so Neil Patrick Harris and James Corden don't exist apparently
In Les Miserables, Hugh Jackman, who's an Australian, played a Frenchman
nominated.
he also swam a sea of human excrement
ELStogs762 whoa shit you're right hahahaha XD
... with an English accent.
And in the X-Men and Wolverine, he's an Australian who played a Canadian.
An Australian who plays a Canadian in America
THIS....this my friends is what Hollywood is supposed to be. Not the egotistical jackasses that represent Hollywood today. The folks like Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Robert Downey Jr, Keanu Reeves, Martin Scorsese, the late Chadwick Boseman .... You know, people who realize that the world doesn't revolve around them, those folks are very very few and far between.
Well said
Eh I'm not sure about Scorsese after he flippantly dismissed the superhero movies...
@@mozdaboz Everybody has an opinion, including Scorsese, I guess.
I disagree this performance is how broadway is.
So agree with you. These performers are amazing, makes you laugh, cry go Oooh. and Wow. The above people go above and beyond not only with their performances, but with the lives they live.
Props to Hugh for the best Oscars opening ever but also credit is due for Anne who's high vocal gets me everytime.
She was bloody brilliant! I had no idea how well she could sing!
Who would've thought that they would be together in Les Miserables 3 years later?
and she caps it off with nixon's classic pose too!
@@Duomaxwell02MI have a feeling they already knew it here and this was a clue they decided to drop
The writers of this opener won an emmy for this. Dan Harmon, Rob Schraub, and Ben Schwartz
"I am an Australian who played an Australian in a movie called Australia, hosting."😂😂😂😂😂
Because of the financial crisis we will be down sizing and I will be staring in a movie called New Zealand 😂😂😂😂
@Kundan Poudyal wow, reading this, his was at 999 so I had to.. no, I'm human, I had to like it and got the 1k!
three years later he played a French ex-con, nominated.
Ehem
Cracks me every time 😂😂
Hugh Jackman is one of those few stellar celebrities who can do it all, He can sing, dance, act, do comedy and is charming. Love him.
Just like Ben Stiller said in the last Night at the Museum film
Don’t forget the serious wolverines movies
Me too. He is just a wonderful human being! A genuine nice guy!
and... hes a qualified sports teacher.
and loyal and devoted to his wife and adopted kids.....kind and nice to everyone...charitable too.
Ok, 13 years after and this keeps being the BEST OPENING EVER! 🤩
Hugh Jackman is a LEGEND ❤️❤️❤️
Anne and hugh always have this good chemistry. Hope to see them again working together in any film since Les Miserables
The way he laughs while performing makes me feel so happy. He's really enjoying himself and I find it adorable. This is why he's my favorite actor.
Yes, he seems to be a really nice guy
He really loves performing in musicals. As much as I loved him as Wolverine, I rather he dedicated to musicals because the way he seems to enjoy it is contagious
He didn't see The Reader
Petition to bring Hugh back to host the Oscars next year.
WHO’S WITH ME???!!!??!?!????!!
I'd love to see him play the wolverine one more time
Petition to bring Ben Schwartz (a co-writer of this one) for the next opening
they actually asked him twice to come and he said no
No one does it like Hugh Jackman. He is truly the Greatest Showman! Bravo👋❤👋❤👋
Hugh and Ryan Reynolds hosting the Oscars would be hilarious
The best oscar monologue period. Anne was amazing 👏 Hugh is such a graceful performer. The ending has a separate fan base.
When Hugh scooped her up, and took her on stage I didn't know what the hell was going on, but when Anne started singing, I sat back and enjoyed it so immensely! My God! What a lovely voice she has!
Watching this tonight in 2022. No opening can touch this one! Simply the best and will always be! Hugh is a true talent
The Best Opening EVER in the Oscars.
Sure right about that!
@@carolinesampath7578 Happy new year. With a grateful heart, I wanna say thank you for your kind words. Your kind words attracted me.
It's an honor entertaining you. Where are you texting from dear
imagine getting a complete standing ovation from basically all of the world's most talented actors
And the most sincere standing ovation. Not like "camera's on my face, I should pretend to be impressed". Meryl's, Cate's, Brangelina's, Anne's faces are really happy
When he says "I'm wolverine!" I get chills everytime. This man will always be wolverine
It's the most amazing moment ever!
I wish he'd sang "Van Helsing". He'll always be Van Helsing to me! ♥️♥️
and he will be again!
I'm came back to this video for that one line!
You and Ryan Reynolds
Random fun fact: Dan Harmon, creator of Community and Rick & Morty, wrote this opening monologue for High Jackman
I scrolled just for this comment, Harmon actually won a Emmy for this!
Can someone please tell me why they don't just do this for every single opening? It's so entertaining, problematic-free, actually celebrates the movies in a light-hearted way, and let's whoever performing be creative with it, which is essentially what the damn show is awarding lol.
Well Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab wrote it, so just hire them again.
They prefer to have a slap
😅😅😅😊😊😊😊😊😊 7:45
Because there's rarely any Broadway stars these days that are interested in hosting the Oscars and that's unfortunate. Ariana DeBose is likely the closest one that someday and hopefully we will get to see her hosting the Oscars as she did it so well hosting the Tony Awards back in 2022 with her amazing "This Is The Round Of Applause" opening number. Idk if Neil Patrick Harris is interested again and Hugh Jackman is currently busy filming movies so there;s that
When is NPH not interested in doing a musical number? @@4deleDaz33m
It took the Academy 10 years to realize no opening act would ever top this. That's the REAL reason there was no host at the 2019 Oscars.
@bekkie51 I thing they are dropping it because it can save time and money .. but an opening of this kind is surely gold
Eh, the Oscars have been declining the last few years, honestly. There’s less celebrating the movies of the year, and more celebrities talking politics and other things in a ceremony that has NOTHING to do with those things.
Looking at you, Brad Pitt.
Of course, that’s not to say the Oscars haven’t had good moments, but it’s obvious the people in charge are more concerned with politics than celebrating the movies of the past year.
@@TF2Fan101 I mean...politics and film are directly correlated so they are not off. But they should put more stock into celebrating their films.
@@TF2Fan101 Yeah, imagine wanting to use your platform and public attention to try and make the world a better place, truly awful.
@@Dirty20 dont be so naive...
He needs to host again. Hugh is the best XD
+KimPossible Hugh who?
+Daniel Filippus This made me laugh more than it should have XD
+KimPossible the best show in oscar forever
best oscars host ever
+KimPossible Hugh, Anne Hathaway and Neil Patrick Harris Harris :)
and after 14 yrs this is still the best opening of any Oscars
Bring him back
See this is how you can roast the films and nominees whilst still being funny and respect the art form and the craft of filmmaking. Not just mean spirited. Bring back Jackman as host!
For ever
I liked this way better than the job Ricky Gervais did at the Golden Globes, even though a lot a people were crazy about that.
As someone who has a huge bias on musicals and always expected award shows to be opened with a musical number like this, Jackman was absolutely incredible. Right up there with Neil Patrick Harris' Tony opening gig
I love the fact that during the performance, there were a couple times where he almost burst out laughing. He barely kept it together. Hugh is the best. He is HUGH JACKMAN!!!
Best part is that there are always some stuck up directors/actors at the Oscars. And he was doing such a silly performance that poked fun at how uptight the whole thing is.
He is WooooolVERIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE-AH
This must've been his audition tape for Les Miserables
I have to agree with that
He's a tony winner way before this for best actor in a musical this was not his audition at all.
***** oh irony, such a stranger
FearlessStar1000 i was just thinking that! Both his and Anne's audition
Its true, if you are a top tier A list in hollywood you don't audition
I come back every now and then to rewatch. It’s my absolute favorite Oscars
opening
Hello Annie
How are you doing today?

Who is watching at 2024 👇🏻
Here here
Here here to the best opening monologue in Oscar history. Hugh Jackman in 2009 is what every man wishes to be
Yup, still total feel good stuff
And he's still Wolverine!
I am
I love that he can't keep a straight face himself 😂
Hasta ahora no se repitió este estilo de opening. No consiguieron quien.
That's part of the act. Comedians do it all the time.
funny thing is, not only is this the best oscar opening, but also the cheapest one, by a huge gap
Victor Bastos what a smart Oscar it is!
It even won an Emmy
Didn't you mean a hugh gap? Wait... is that the doorbell? I'll get it...
Hugh Gapman
I think the 2005 Oscars looked cheap too
Watching in 2024.. anyone else?
Me too 😊
Thirteen years later this is still quite a thrill.
I never would have guessed that Hugh Jackman singing "I'm Wolverine!" would make me cry. But then it did.
He was.... now :((
The T-10 He will always be THE wolverine.
Pompidou i definitely wet myself lol
"I'm ovary!" Wait what?
what part he said that?number pls
“Ladies and gentlemen your craigslist dancers” is honestly one of the funniest introductions i’ve ever heard
Seriously, what a talent and what a role model for kids today. Hugh has really smashed the stereo type for young males to sing and dance.
I'm blown away by his performance oh my gosh it's absolute amazing!!! 🙇♀🙇♀
Agreed.
Hugh and Anne, 2009: hosting, singing, making us laugh.
Three years later: singing, making us cry,... nominated and win (for Anne).
right lol
Was looking for the Les Mis reference ^^
This was her audition lol
I like how he adknowledged that The Dark Knight didn’t get nominated even though it made a billion dollars ( Which was unheard of by a superhero movie back then) and it was critically acclaimed. Thanks Hugh. Watching still in 2019
He didn't write the song.
I think that line is there because it was unheard of by ANY movie, superhero or not, to make a billion dollars. It was one of like
@@mattwilkes2214 do we know for sure? He's certainly talented enough
@@JohnK_ ya Dan harmon and Rob Schrab wrote it and both won emmys. Not to take ANYTHING away from Hugh Jackman he killed it here, probably a very hard, very entertaining performance lol.
Wait what? Dark Knight had 8 nominations for Oscars
Such a wonderful performer; a triple threat; sing, act, dance. You don't see much of that these days. And seems like a nice guy too. Love Hugh!
Happy new year. With a grateful heart, I wanna say thank you for your kind words. Your kind words attracted me.
It's an honor entertaining you. Where are you texting from dear
I think everyone here underestimated the scale of the man's talent, hence the standing ovation at the end of the performance.
Hugh was obviously amazing, but can we all take a moment to appreciate Anne??
Agreed she's amazing
What. A. Voice! She’s hitting high A’s like it’s nothing!
Almost stole the show.
She had her chance ....
Anne really doesn't do anything that isn't just excellent.
holy freakin fuck, i knew anne hathaway is a broadway artist and can sing... but holy fuck she nailed it on so many levels
I believe her voice is classically trained.
+LordShaitaan did you not watch les mis?
nope
+LordShaitaan you should watch her song to Hugh on the Oscars of 2011 (I think) :D
xxes11xx
nah cause Hugh is a real jackass ;)
OMG!! This was a really extraordinary opening Oscar show. Such a difference with the 2022 Oscar, no way!!
Dan Harmon wrote this. They need to pay top talent.
Happy new year. With a grateful heart, I wanna say thank you for your kind words. Your kind words attracted me.
It's an honor entertaining you. Where are you texting from dear❤❤
I love the fact that among the writers of that opening were Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab. And they deservedly won an Emmy for it.
With all respect, this will be the best opening number, not because were expensive. It's the best because was made with talent, love and courage. These are the same reasons Hugh is a Showman, and the best Host of the Oscars. A standing ovation was the minimun he deserve.
True 💯
@@LeonardoMastrogiovanni It was not just Harmon, it was a team. It was also tested with HJ everytime. He even had some suggestions thrown in. Also, HJ acted and performed it - can any actor do the same exact type of performance. His stage experience is quite obvious in his excellent delivery. With aplomb, genuine talent & full-on charisma!
I am still watching this. Please, bring Hugh Jackman back!
After "I'M WOLVERIIIIIIIIIINNEE!!" all I could think was DAMN RIGHT! XD
MildManNerd I know right!!! Too funny...
MildManNerd
*RELATABLE*
What a goofball
MildManNerd and to think he was almost not wolverine hewas what their third choice
Am I the only one who laughed really really hard at "The Reader" musical number?
That’s my favorite part hahaha
I Loved it! '...I am an Australian playing an Australian in a movie called Australia'
'...Hosting.'
I love how he's so rightfully amused with his own performance, stifles a giggle because no matter how silly, his show must go on. He should host again. Another I'd love to see hosting is Kermit the Frog.
If you're gonna have Kermit in a musical number, i recommend bringing back Paul Williams. If you are too young to remember Paul, he was on lotsa TV shows in the sixties and seventies. He's a strange dude who wrote the Kermit hit song, "Rainbow Connection". (The other song I associate with Kermit is, "iI's Not Easy Being Green", written by Joe Raposo.)
The song, Rainbow Connection, when sung by Kermit, is inspiring to me and gives me the chills. It's about how people are always looking for something 'magical' - whether that magic is something in the world or a 'magical' connection with another person. My fav lyrics are:
-------- Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
-------- What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
And what do we think we might see?
The creator of the Muppets was Jim Henson. He's not a great singer, but there's a 'mysterious' quality to his voice. When he sings a song, you feel transported to a Disney-like place of wonder. The only other voice I can think of that has that same quality is Cliff Edwards, who sang When You Wish Upon A Star. That song will ALWAYS be, for me, the Gold Standard for songs for animated movies. Another 'goosebumps' song for me is, When She Loved Me from Toy Story.
I've been a musician for decades, and it never ceases to amaze me how strong is the power of music. It can make you laugh, cry, hope, or despair.
Hugh Jackman with Kermit. Better yet.
He needs to host again, he was so natural and easy going.
Ikr??
The way he trying to keep down a laugh at 3:51 haha. Brilliant.
Esta sigue siendo la mejor presentación de los Oscars más de 10 años después
Siempre me revuelvo para el "Frank Langella was sitting right next to me!" XD
That's easy for you to say !
I keep coming back to this all the time. That duet is so wonderful, I actually want a Frost/Nixon romantic musical.
I like Hugh Jackman for the way he truly is enjoying this, trying not to burst into laughter a couple of times. I like how it's about him but he doesn't forget to make a thumbs up to the technicians in the end. He really seems to me like a great man, with of course, epic talent.

Man, I love this guy. He's just so down to earth and doesn't give a shit about being famous. Also, the guy is still happily married an older woman he met in his first screen debut. In Hollywood, that's really something. Makes me proud to be Australian. How could his mum run out of him?
Don't know his background, but most women who do leave are leaving an extremely violent husband, and cannot take the children because she hasn't the money or his power.
hugh jackman is underrated af, one of the most versatile actors in hollywood
Yes
How is he underrated when he has been used in all of his talents. Everyone in the industry is also aware of them because of that. How, by any metric is he underrated?
@@MuzzCat05 i think they meant that the public underestimates him, most people only remembers him as wolverine and stuck with the idea that he can only play macho-man type characters and only recently started seeing him as anything else than that thanks to the greatest show man

he's a glorious man.. so much talent. This is my fav Oscar opening. Such a huge treat and superbly done.
This wasn’t the flashiest, the best rehearsed, the most flawless opening; but in my opinion still the best executed, unexpectedly charming, had the most realistic reactions, had great punchlines that didn’t even have to hurt anyone or throw shade; IT WAS CLASSY, HILARIOUS, AND ENTERTAINING
and those are the gone days....

Hugh Jackman would have to be one of the most likeable blokes in the entertainment industry. He's talented, down to earth, funny as a circus and can have a laugh at his own expense. What's not to love?
Would have? Are you saying he's not one of the most likeable blokes? He gets love from the nerd crowd for his Wolverine portrayal. He gets love from the Broadway crowd for his work in that department. He gets love from the academy for Les Miserables. Everyone loves him!
This presentation established a very high level of achievement. Jackman impressed his performance on the stage of talent, passion, love, humility and above all respect for the public and colleagues. What we know as perfection was left behind that night when this tremendous human being set a new level over it. The Academy of Arts and Cinematography must return to its origins and show more respect for the millions of people who gather to see this annual event. To my best of my understanding, this ceremony is one to honor the talent and effort of all the people who entertain us with their work in making films that will be with humanity forever. Being the moderator of the event does not give him the right to mock and much less assault some of his colleagues. To Mr. Hugh Jackman my congratulations for a majestic performance and that should be the role model to follow forever. BRAVO!!!
That was so awesome. Hugh Jackman is everything an entertainer should be, He can sing, dance, act, play musical instruments and cook. Plus he has the added advantage of being drop dead gorgeous.
Thanks for your continuous love and support towards me ❤️❤

Why do I want Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman to play the phantom and Christine. Like I could see it going really well
They'd never let Raoul get the girl, that's why.
Come to think of it, you're right. They should play them!

I think this is the only Oscars Opening Number that I've seen get a standing applause. Go Hugh!
which is wierd because Niel was equally good if not better
No Neil Patrick Harris hosted the Oscars last year in 2015. His theme/song was 'Moving Pictures' and he had a duet with Anna Kendrick and Jack Black.
It's good. Try to find it if you can.
standing OVATION!! WHY am i here !~? WOLVERINE!!
He deserves the Oscar for his opening great !!!!!
+Jozeph Casta Dan Harmon, Rob Schrab, Ben Schwartz, William Ross and John Kimbrough won an Emmy for writing it.
Harmon said on Harmontown that they were just going ballistic watching him nail it.
This is what you call entertainment. 15 years ago and still watch it when I want to see something that makes me smile.
Esta presentación estableció un nivel muy alto de alcanzar. Jackman le imprimió a su desempeño sobre la tarima talento, pasión, amor, humildad y sobre todo respeto hacia el público y colegas. Lo que conocemos como perfección quedó atrás esa noche cuando este tremendo ser humano estableció un nuevo nivel sobre la misma. La Academia de Artes y Cinematografía debe regresar a sus orígenes y mostrar más respeto hacia los millones de personas que nos reunimos a ver este evento anual. A mi mejor entender esta ceremonia es una para honrar el talento y el esfuerzo de todo las personas que nos entretienen con su trabajo en la realización de películas que estarán con la humanidad por siempre. Ser el moderador del evento no le da el derecho de mofarse y muchísimo menos agredir a algunos de sus compañeros ó colegas. Al Sr. Hugh Jackman mis felicitaciones por un desempeño majestuoso y que debiera ser el modelo a seguir por siempre. BRAVO!!!
I think this was Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman's audition for Les Miserables!!
