    This is such a brilliant and wonderfully sincere tribute to genius Mel Brooks.
    he's suffered a lot of loss in the past few years.

      This event took place in 2013, Gene didn't pass away until 2016. But as you mentioned, I'm sure even then he wasn't in the greatest of health to attend, sadly.

    I've watched so many of these. They are so better than the oscars! there is a genuine love and carrying and appreciation and none of that stuff just done for the public or viewers at home. You genuinely can see the appreciation for one's work and life and their contribution. It just makes the oscar an empty show to promote certain pictures which nobody really wants to participate in.

    from one one of the greats today to one of the greats from before...a perfect tribute speech and who'd expect any less from Billy Crystal? (PS let me get this straight: Denzel Washington and freaking Babs Streisand have won this and NOT Crystal? what a joke...but that's Hollywood for you)
