this randomly popped up in my recommendations and I have to say: this is one of the monologues I've ever watched. Steve Martin carefully balanced his set without going too far with jokes and social commentary on just about everything in the industry
This is one of my favourite Academy Award shows ever. The number of seminal female performances is astonishing: Kidman (The Hours), Moore (The Hours, Heaven), Streep (The Hours, Adaptation), Zellwegger (Chicago), Zeta-Jones (Chicago), Latifa (Chicago), Hayek (Frida), Lane (Unfaithful) etc. Truly a unique clash of Venus's and Athena's.
As far as I recall, Halle Berry won the Oscar in 2002 for her work in Monsters Ball (2001) and was presented her award by Russel Crowe who had won his Oscar the previous year (2001) for his performance in The Gladiator (2000). This monologue given by Steve Martin took place in the Academy Awards in 2003 where Halle Berry presented the award for Best Actor to Adrian Brody and was famously French-kissed by him as he got too emotional and surprised. Oscars 2003 were remarkable not just for the number and quality of female performers but also for the Iraq War which had caused a lot of controversy and tension in the ceremony.
@ CYP0 You’re absolutely right. Julia Roberts won Best Actress same year as Russell Crowe. Denzel Washington and Halle Berry won their awards the following year.
@@jogman262 Academy Awards 2002 (the previous ceremony to the one in the video) was remarkable for the number of African American artists who won major awards: Denzel Washington for Best Actor (second in history and first to win Best Leading/Supporting Actor as Washington had won a previous award for Glory (1989)), Halle Berry for Best Actress (first in history) and Sydney Poitier (RIP) for Life Achievement. Another historic night.
Can you imagine what it takes to work that crowd. Mr Martin is always an inspiration and truly iconic. Wish they put Billy Crystal with him!! What a combo.
im a big fan of Steve Martin but I dont consider him a true comedian. Hes more of a showman song and dance kind of person. His best movie was Parenthood, inb which was more acting than being funny.
"I'd just realized that hosting the Oscars for the second time, it's like making love to a woman for the second time... I guess!" OMG, that delivery, though. He's amazing.
It was a reference to his first time hosting the ceremony. He said that time ".. hosting the oscars is like making love to a Beautiful woman... something i can do only when billy cristal is out of town.." he nailed it again this second time
@@wilchambers1401 Oh ! I'm fine as far as that's concerned..but I'm supposing that since you didn't answer the question,You probably don't have or own a dog house..... NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT
Ohmygosh. The faces of the actors here, I was 3 when this was happening! It's like, wow, it's refreshing to see in the moat weird way😭... Luv all these actors. Long live true Hollywood stars!
Steve Martin is always awesome! If you need cheering up, find Him! You have to see his two man show with Martin Short...”Two Wild and Crazy Guys!” Sorry, Dan....
If I saw this monologue, I don't remember but anything Steve does, he does with such grace. I loved his performance in Cyrano--a high school poet and quite short, all I had to do to avoid bullies was be Cyrano for them and help them with Chemistry, not just with the cheerleaders, but with the Chem teacher, who was tough, lol. That was in '77-'79 when Steve Martin was just coming on the radar, like many of the performers he noted in this monologue. My career started in the Napa Valley, kind of a Hollywood North because of Falcon Crest, and Francis Ford Coppola, and working in the tourist industry there after college I met some of the people shown in this monologue, all earlier in their careers, and very humble and kind to those like me who were service workers, and the local residents of a community which stands at about 80,000 residents today. Now that I've just reached retirement, I look back to those times when great stars still shared by community members on this site. We first lived in Burbank after moving from Chicago in '66 and my middle brother was close friends with Richard "Jaws" Kiel, the Arnold Schwarzenegger of his time, who I last saw in the movie "Force Ten From Naverone". Barbara Bach, Ringo Starr's wife, shared a hug with me at Meadowood Resort in the Napa Valley when she stayed with us, though if Ringo was with her, he stayed in the Background. She was in "Force Ten From Naverone" and so humble, embarassing me, the desk supervisor, in front of the staff that worked with me. I never even dreamed I would meet Hollywood celebrities so early in my career, I chose tourism because I loved meeting people and I love traveling, just like them. They taught me how to manage any guest, because they were so humble themselves, that some, like Falcon Crest's Ana Alicia or the French Chef Julia Child, would chat with me asking for my tour recommendations if I was alone on shift, as I tended to schedule myself late in the evening.
@@thewolfdoctor761 The poodles head? He woke up in the bed with a poodles head in his bed..Because the gay mafia doesn't want him using the phrase *Gay-Mafia* That one got one of his biggest laughs.
Such lovely civility of all for good comedy...no politics to be hurtful...self deprecating humor that makes you want to watch the show. My how far they've fallen in just 16 years!

His gray hair is legendary.
Indeed
@@wilchambers1401 my,
True comedy is all in the delivery. Steve Martin is the master.
Kevin hart is the master
kt Amen
So true! Love Martin's dry delivery
Yes his standup experience came through. One of the best ever monologues.
He has that one thing that all great comedians have. I'm talking about... of course... Thai-Ming. TIMING! Timing...i mean timing.
Steve Martin is truly one of my all time favourite comedic actors!! :')
Steve Martin is a great writer, comedian, brilliant actor, very talented musician. I believe he's underrated in many ways.
He is not underrated in any way. I think you are comparing him to someone who catches your attention more.

WalterLiddy Same happens in India.. when u watch award show u see legends in 10th row and today’s popular actors that people want to see in first row
Serves him right for Breakfast at Tiffany's 🤣
I doubt that was really Mickey Rooney.
There are no losers here tonight-But we're about to change all that! 😂😂😂
I think STEVE MARTIN SHOULD HOST AGAIN! So much funnier than today’s Oscars.
As you can see it's a tough gig!! But he is a master at it!
He’d have some fun with Will Smith.
@@jogman262 He'd get slapped up-side his ole White head.
@ David Hopeman
No he wouldn’t because Smith is banned from the Oscars for 10 years.
He and Billy Crystal.
There’s always a closeup of Jack Nicholson, and he’s always in good humor and laughing.
Same with Harvey Weinstein.
and drunk
A National treasure!
The Oscars are not the same without him there.
I talked to someone who had met Jack Nicholson a couple of times, and that is exactly his personality 😄
“Roman Polanski is here. GET HIM!” kills me every time.
He could have said, “Hands up!!!”
Or he could of said"Hey Weinstein & Spacey let's get the degenerate creepy rapist outta here now"
Steve Martin is a comic genius. I needed a laugh and came here in 2022 because I knew he'd deliver. He did! LOL
Effortless master performance from one of the most likable down to earth celebrities out there
Love seeing guys like Harrison Ford, Denzel Washington, Michael Douglas and Richard Gere cracking up at his monologue.
Julie Andrews is super special! She never misses a beat her response always fun endearing & appropriate! Classy lady.
Very pretty lady.
Steve is one of those great comedic talents. Effortlessly funny, the jokes are so simple
it’s definitely not effortless lol, he just makes it seem that way
I believe Steve Martin was the very first person to ever be considered adorkable.
I thought that the first time I saw, ‘The Jerk’. Legendary comedy. 😆
"If you'd like a transcript of this show write down every word we say."
Julie Andrews.... such a classy lady!
She looks gorgeous!
that was actually me as her stand in
Tha classiest!❤️
Classy and apparently a tough cookie.
Compare her to snippy nose Diane Lane. She can't even take a joke so many years into her career.
I wonder if the Vin Diesel quip was ad-libbed. Steve’s face at 3:56 seems like he’s genuinely disappointed that Mickey is sitting in the back.
Still, today, one of the best monologues in Oscar history

But no one has his class.
Love Steve's take on what a movie star is. ..Great monologue!
I've watched this many times and it never gets old!
Who's here for the masterclass?
Truthfully your calling attention to it made me puke.
He really knows how to work his audience (celebrities). Priceless
Mickey Rooney should have been in the front row.
Absolutely right I grew up with Mickey Rooney why did they do that to him all the way in the back I thought that was outrageous.
But Vin Diesel was there...
Stephen McCollum His ego needed its own seat.
I can see a BIG FAT Weinstein laughing in the front row. But NO MORE :-D
Hence the joke.
Steve Martin was such a sublime host. Like he's done this before 😎
The best opening ever!!
I love Steve Martin such classy, talented and HELLA FUNNY 😄 😂😂😂😂
3:32 Always thought Mira Sorvino was one of the most beautiful, talented women in Hollywood.
Very hot woman.
That's a true comedic genius right there
I’ve been a huge fan since 1977.
Genius. I don't think anyone wouldn't want to be like Steve Martin.
