- Ray Milland presents the Oscar® for Supporting Actress to Mercedes McCambridge for "All the King's Men" at the 22nd Academy Awards® in 1950. Hosted by Paul Douglas.
She won for her first nomination. Speech was short and sweet. Lord have and keep precious Mercy.
Mercy? She is my cousin only our family has ever called her that. Are you somehow related to us?
One of the neatest things about Mercedes was her unmistakable unique voice.
Great actress!
I had the pleasure of knowing Mercedes in the early 1990’s. She was a lovely, intelligent, and caring friend to
me and many others. Also a brilliant stage actress to the end of her days.
And a cruel mother at the same time. She was to blame for the murder suicide of her son.
@@terron7840 don't talk about her that way.
@@nicolenewsome4863 Of course i have to.
She was a brilliant actress, no denying that, but also a terrible mom.
She, according to some rumors, didn't even shed a tear for his dead son and even her 2 grand-daughters.
Terron In no way was she fucking responsible for her son killing is own daughters. That is on him 100%
@@terron7840 don't talk about my cousin that way. And it was his choice to commit suicide and it was his choice to kill his children and it was his choice to embezzle all that money she was doing well on her own just because she was well off money wise doesn't mean she's under any obligation to give her money constantly give it to her son for all we know he could of embezzled all that money because he gambled to much and had trouble with some loan sharks. You never know.
Great Actress and a very Strong Woman
I'm so glad that she finally won something! May God forever keep her.
Amazing that she portrayed the voice of the demon in "The Exorcist"!
What an excellent day for an oscar
in my opinion, this is the most deserved best supporting actress Oscar Winner in Movie history!;)
dr strangelove she was so commanding, going toe to toe with her male counterparts in King’s men. Excellent performance!!!!
Did she win anything for her short but awesome role as Bick's sister in Giant? And to nopw find out she was the devil voice in the Exorcist!
To think the voice from the exorcist cane from her is crazy
The Devil won the Oscar 😱
Vegeta Solo Ty VEGETA VERY FUNNY
This was before the exorcist
The Devil got her due and she wasn’t even wearing a blue dress.
She also played a witch in one episode of Bewitched in the classic comedy. A rather wicked witch Carlotta who tried to blackmail Samantha into marrying her wimpy son .
Who knew that she would go on to play the voice of the most evil character in film history??
Millands mind-blowing and incredible performance as the drunk in the lost weekend is (imo) the best drunk performance in Cinema history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D LMAO at Tolsick though, I would have give him some credit, he was on a train in las vegas 36 years ago.
Today Commemorates Mercedes McCambridge's 100th Birthday
RIP Mercedes McCambridge (March 16, 1916 - March 2, 2004), aged 87
You will be remembered as a legend
Terrific speech. Bravo Mercedes!!!
Who's here from The Exorcist
me
Yes 😃
Nice, short speech. Most actors and actresses these days go on and on, oblivious to how ridiculous and self absorbed they look. Julia Roberts winning for "Erin Brockovich" was the worst - she was meandering, and one point kind of rude. She didn't even think to thank Erin Brockovich herself.
She later appeared as a space hillbilly raising crazy crops in Lost In Space. Season 1/Episode 25 - 'The Space Croppers'. (Title is a takeoff of 'sharecroppers')
Classmate of my maternal grandmother at Mundelein College in Chicago.
I saw this movie a few years back. Really good movie. It is so sad what happend to her son. He killed himself and his wife and two daughters.
Before Julie Andrews, she is the only actress who won oscar by her first movie.
Nope! Barbra Streisand and Audrey Hepburn won for their first movies.
Anna Paquin Jennifer Hudson lupita nyongo and a few others...
There was also Shirley Booth for her debut film performance in COME BACK LITTLE SHEBA
Eva Marie Saint, Jo Van Fleet and Shirley Booth all won for their first film roles before Julie Andrews.
I've read somewhere that Joan Crawford treated Mercedes Cambridge terribly in real life. Is that true, and if so, why? Thanks...
Because they starred together in a western Johnny Guitar. In the movie their characters were antagonistic to each other and it spilled into their working relationship. It got worst as they worked on the movie especially the crew would cheer Mercedes a lot more than Joan.
@@carterbentonjr399 yep. You are right! Ever wanted to know how she ended getting that deep voice?
@@nicolenewsome4863 She was an alcoholic and drank on the set of Johnny Guitar.
@@carterbentonjr399 no. That's not why. Since she's my actual real life cousin I know the truth. And don't you know not to believe everything you read?
Poor Ray Milland. He had to endure 30 years of drunk jokes after The Lost Weekend.
I think maybe it was closer to 40 years of drunk jokes after Lost Weekend.
But wasn't he great in it!!!
+cats pajamas
Damn right. Best alcoholic ever.
lol
UR RIGHT- But he had OSCAR TO SOBER HIM UP!
🏄♀️
I would have given it to Ethel Waters. She was amazing. Come to the Stable should have been nominated for NOTHING. What a piece of schmaltz that thing is.
+TheTerryE
Agreed about Come to the Stable. And I love Ethel Waters' saintly mom in Pinky too. But Mercedes McCambridge gave the single greatest supporting performance I have ever seen in All the King's Men. Absolutely riveting as hard-assed Sadie Burke. "Are ya? Are ya? Are ya?" And she had the greatest reaction to a slap in movie history.
+TheChannel.TV right on
he did not deserve it is my opinion
She you mean?
