Hello there. Thank you very much for your care, love, and support through my career. I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie from all of my movies you have seen so far?
@@liesmies6280 With respect, Gladiator is NOT a blockbuster; a blockbuster was, for example, Independence Day, or shit like that. Gladiator was a piece of art, that yes, became a blockbuster, but I would not call it that, never.
The part where he start seeing the path to his dead family was heartbreaking and absolutely amazing, i cried well Everytime I watch this movie tears came out me
@@ziyaemir No, you idiot. It is refering to the scene in Gladiator when Comodus stabs Maximus and says exactly that. Most people only relate Joaquin to his role as Joker, when he has so much better movies.
You can tell from his reaction he's a humble person, and the guy behind him who gave him a hug and was celebrating harrd, we all need a friend like that😂😂
@@陳振脩 Steve is just making fun of the fact that he cannot possibly be that versatile as an actor. The joke there happens when he said the opposite -- that he is all that ---which of course is false. Americans and the British often use self-deprecation or sarcasm in their sense of humor.
Years later, this is still one of the best acceptance speeches I've ever heard. It was heartfelt, he gave names without listing a hundred of them and made it personal and inspiring to others. This was a strong field that year. Anyone of those men could have won and it would have been deserved. What really made the moment for me was that it was so obvious he was NOT expecting it. The shocked look on his face was priceless. And their choice has been confirmed , everyone still remembers the movie and it's held up over time.
@@Izaan2810 I don’t disagree with you about Denzel in Training Day. He was amazing in that role. But Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind was one of the finest Acting performances I’ve ever seen. It’s right up there with the very best that DeNiro, Pacino, Hoffman or Nicholson ever did.
@@juismac You know buddy, I just watched A Beautiful Mind a week ago again and now I whole heartedly agree with you. I just watched it and realized that Russell was some whole another level thing in that movie with his acting which is even better than in Gladiator. What a powerhouse performance!! And I agree, he should have won that year. Denzel deserved it as well as in my opinion, he had the second best performance after Russell.
I remember it being one of my first, if not, the first R rated movie I ever saw at age 11 and i love it even more now than I did … it holds up so well and is one of the all time greatest
Can we just talk about how loud the crowd went the second he was announced winner. I’ve never seen a crowd react the way they did for any event, even when other actors win an Oscar. Truly incredible.
@@organboi "Are you 10 years old?", what a way to start a reply, by being a rude and insufferable douche that finds the need to correct people when no correction is necessary. I bet you're one of those people that always needs to have their voice. And no, they're not many other times the crowd has cheered this much, along with a standing ovation. A few that come to mind would be Anthony Hopkins, Leonardo DiCaprio, and James Ivory (who isn't even an actor). No the crowd may not have cheered for Ivory as quick as the others, but a standing ovation for a screen writer has pretty much never happened. Maybe before you make an unnecessary correction, I suggest you relearn what it's like to have basic manners when speaking to someone. Or are YOU the 10 year old who hasn't learnt that basic human decency yet? Go speak to your mother this way (if she still recognises you as a son) and see how she reacts. Asshole.
Maximus was elevated in Heroism due to Joaquin unselfishly playing the supreme, despicable villian. I found myself feeling an irrational hatred of Commodus for days after the movie.... That's Acting!
I know right! It's so adorable! Joaquin looks like a 10-year-old congratulating his big brother on something. Just proof that the best friendships start when actors play enemies onstage/onscreen. His smile… I melted. :3
It echoes how his brother reacted when he lost to another actor at the Oscars. They're both so, so humble and aren't scared to be themselves! No one compares. No one. Absolutely no one.
Yeah it's funny how actors playing enemies often end up besties. Best known example was Judy Garland and Margaret Hamilton, who played Dorothy and the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz. Judy said in her autobiography that Margaret was the kindest person she had ever met and was more of a mother to her than her own mother ever was. Margaret even came to Judy's high school graduation.
' Anyone who is on downside of advantage and relying purely on courage,its possible '. What a line 👏🏽 I mean he is an artist but am still amazed how people voice their emotions so well.
You're right, it was very "poetic"...was a fantastic speech all around; so many great lines. And, I don't mean that in a sarcastic way; I truly loved this speech and his - obviously - genuinely surprised reaction to his win :-)
@@pilotgal6191 I wouldn't be able to tell you if that was true or not, but given it's RC, very possible, lol ;-) He seemed genuinely surprised at the win, but as I love that film, I think it was entirely deserved 🙂
This is my favorite oscar acceptance for a male actor. From the beginning where he is taken off guard and assaulted by his cast and crew mates, who seem happier than he is, to that great bit at the end where he talks about childhood imaginings. It wasn't overly emotional. It was just right.
"If anybody's who's on the downside of advantage, and relying purely on courage....it's possible." Fucking deep. They don't make simple, uplifting acceptance speeches like they used to.
@@imranbacha I think he was saying even when the odds are against you, the will to succeed can make the difference. A lot of celebs are born into it, but there are some who really bust there ass to get there and I believe Crowe fought tooth and nail for everything he earned.

A lot of people praise Russell Crowe for his stunning performance in the Gladiator but truth to speak, this movie wouldn't be what it is if not for Phoenix. My credits go to both of them equally.
Completely agree with you there. Impossible to choose from. But good choice in all. I can still watch Gladiator today, and that would be the 25th time if i did. It's that good.
Would you consider yourself to be a good person? How many lies have you told, and what do you call someone who lies? Have you ever stolen something, and what do you call someone who steals? Have you ever taken God’s name in vain (very serious; in Old Testament times, the Jews wouldn’t even say the name of God for fear of blasphemy) - even ‘OMG’? One more: Jesus said whoever looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery in his heart; have you ever looked with lust? Well I’m not judging you - but if you’ve done these things then you’re a liar, thief, blasphemer and adulterer-at-heart; that’s how seriously God takes sin. He is Holy (perfectly good/righteous and separate from sin) which means that H e is perfect in justice - and if He were to judge you by the moral law (we’ve already looked at 4 commandments) would you be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? The answer is hell - the wrath of God upon you for your sin. Is that concerning? But fortunately, God’s will is not that you perish. He wants all men everywhere to be saved. So do you know what He did for us guilty sinners? In self-giving mercy, He sent His Son Jesus Christ. He lived the perfect life that we should have lived - tempted at all points and yet He NEVER sinned. Through His life, being in very nature God, He revealed God to men; but we in our hatred condemned Him to death. On that cross as Jesus suffered, He took on the sin of the world and was judged in our place; receiving God’s wrath. You and I broke God’s law, but Jesus paid the fine. God can justly forgive us. On that cross He died, then He was buried, but 3 days later He was raised from the dead - conquering death and Hell and ushering in The Kingdom of God. He then ascended to the right hand of God the Father (where He came from) now Lord of the living and the dead. God has fixed a date when He will judge the world in righteousness. What you need to do is repent (In humility, acknowledge your sin before God and turn to a relationship with Him) and trust ALONE in Jesus Christ and His work on the cross; and God will grant you the gift of the Holy Spirit. Then be baptised. When you place your trust in Jesus - the Lord and Saviour - these things will happen: 1) God will forgive the sins that you have committed; they were paid for by Jesus at the cross. 2) The perfect life that Jesus lived will be credited to you. He will find you holy and blameless on judgement day (and now), as Christ’s righteousness covers you. 3) You receive a place in Christ’s kingdom as an adopted child of God. God becomes your Father. Eternal life isn’t just about living forever, but a personal relationship with God Himself. That life can start now; The Father will reveal Himself to you if you seek Him. 4) God doesn’t just save you from the penalty of your sin (Hell). He can save you from the power of sin itself. Whoever practices sin is a slave of sin; but when you repent and believe the gospel [WHICH HAS BEEN DESCRIBED] the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in you and sanctify you (working in you to further abandon sin and turn to the will of God). When the end of the age comes, and eternity begins, this work will be brought to completion as you are finally freed from the presence of sin. Jesus offers to take away your sin and to give you His righteousness; you must receive it by faith. Choose this day if you will align with the world, or with Jesus and His kingdom - only His is eternal. ROMANS 10:9 - If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. EPHESIANS 2:8-9 - For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no-one may boast
Yes indeed. I was like ohhh what a competition. And i so like Russel Crowe but if any of them won, wouldn't be so heart breaking. But he did and so my heart was happy.
Perfect acceptance speech from Russ .... who obviously didn't expect to win.....named all the names to thank meticulously.....even though he hadn't ..... " prepared" a speech.... BRAVO....he definitely deserved the OSCAR !
@@firenze5555 I noticed that that too, and tho' I know they're no longer together, I'm sure it wasn't intentional; I think he was just so genuinely surprised at the win. And, goodness, it looks like he wanted to kiss her first, but all his buds/colleagues got ahold of him before he could; she graciously waited :-)
Yes . ALEXANDER , RUSSELL CROWE SHOULD HAVE WON FOR A BEAUTiFUl MIND , TOO. SIM , ALEXANDER , RUSSELL DEVERIA TER GANHO O ÓSCAR POR SUA ATUAÇÃO EM UMA MENTE BRILHANTE TAMBÉM , IRREPREENSÍVEL, INCRÍVEL RUSSELL !!!!!
RIP Richard Harris (October 1, 1930 - October 25, 2002), aged 72 And RIP Oliver Reed (February 13, 1938 - May 2, 1999), aged 61 You both will be remembered as legends
Let's not forget that in the lead up to the Oscars, there was no clear frontrunner for the Best Actor award. That prize was evenly distributed among other people at other ceremonies (Crowe won the Critics Choice; Tom Hanks won the Golden Globe; Benicio Del Toro won SAG (Del Toro won the Oscar in the Supporting category), while Jamie Bell (who wasn't even nominated at the Oscars) won the BAFTA). This category was up in the air at the time.
axr714 thanks for the insights. I’ve watched the Oscars for years since ever I was kids but when I was younger I didn’t pay attention to the lead up and speculation about who or what would win. Good info, its not Wonder he had a genuine shock reaction
Yah he really ruined his shot at winning back to back Oscars after he roughed up someone at the BAFTA awards, and essentially alienated himself from Hollywood. It was his to lose. He had a good chance at winning 3 oscars in a row with his performance in The Insider, as the race was supposedly pretty close between him, Denzel, and Kevin Spacey.
Hello there. Thank you very much for your care, love, and support through my career. I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie from all of my movies you have seen so far?
He certainly has a way with words. No wonder he and Ridley Scott were able to piece together that script on the fly. I love that last line of the speech: "For anybody who is on the downside of advantage and relying purely on courage: it is possible."
In 2002, for A Beautiful Mind, Russell Crowe won the SAG, Golden Globes, BAFTA and Critics Choice. Only award he didn't win was the Oscar, which went to Denzel Washington for Training Day instead. But Denzel Washington should have won for Malcolm X, but that year Oscar went to Al Pacino for Scent of a Woman. But Al Pacino should have won for Dog Day Afternoon and The Godfather. So, as you can see, it's a vicious cycle created by the Academy. God knows when this will stop.
I finally landed a job after an year of interviews, rejections and preparation. It was more difficult as the Covid started to affect the job opportunities. Anyway, I feel all the hard-work payed off. I want to thank Russel Crowe, as this speech helped me stay optimistic through these tough times. “If you’re on the downside of advantage and rely purely on courage, it’s possible.”
The late 90s and early 00s were Crowe's best years. He made so many great performances in a few years - LA Confidential, The insider, Gladiator, A beautiful mind, Master and commander.
Ramsay Bolton when they announced Russell Crowe’s name and Joaquin kissed him I thought Joaquin was gonna stab him haha he was still Commodus to me, even at the Oscars
We just watched Gladiator last night for the…I don’t know how many times! It’s one of my top favorites and just heard Gladiator 2 trailer was released two days ago! Russel Crowe was so deserving of the Oscar and I’m hoping this 2nd Gladiator stays true to the greatness of the first.
His reaction is absolutely priceless. You could tell that beforehand he wasn't expecting to win because he was going up against greats like Tom Hanks and Geoffrey Rush, but his shock and astonishment when they called his name is so genuine. Great job, Mr. Crowe!
just go back through time and you can just see how happy Joaquin Phoenix is when his friends and fellow actors win, and rewind to when he won for Joker he still takes more time talking about his fellow actors etc then himself.
Tom Hanks had to be thinking he was going to win it. 'Cast Away' was all him. A tour de force performance. But Russell deserved it most, probably one of the most talented actors in that room.
@@lolli9820 I noted how ironic the hug and genuinely happy reaction was, esp considering their rival status in the movie. Missed that nuance abt the kiss on the cheek; well done!
@@zm7186 ok i just translated your comment. tbh, i haven't seen the movie so i can't judge, but i think that either Adam Driver for Marriage Story or Joaquin Phoenix for Joker will win
A well-deserved win against some big names in some great films. Crowe's performance in GLADIATOR was intense and emotional. He was perfectly cast but he has always been a remarkable lead actor right back to his Australian films.

Joaquin Phoenix is a fucking great actor of this generation and he is robbed time and again by academy. But he has learnt it and is one of the least fuck givers of this industry. This man deserves serious appreciation for his work he has produced over the years. My personal favorite role of his is 'Doc Sportello' in Inherent Vice, in which he abso-fucking-lutely nailed his character. Take a bow, Joaquin Phoenix.
No offence to DDL but he deserved an oscar for 'The Master'...probably the greatest performance by an actor in the 21st century...."the processing scene" is voted as the best acting scene in cinema history according to cinefix
People go on about DiCaprio being robbed (now he got one) when in reality it's the likes of Phoenix, Roger Deakins and of course Sir Ridley Scott that's truly been robbed. That's some of the biggest crime in cinematic history.
That was 15 years ago and Crowe was at the top of his game. He should´ve won this for his performance on "The Insider", a year before, and deserved to win again the next year, for "A Beautiful Mind". People usually think about him as a bully or a prankster, but this speech was great. By the way, Ridley Scott is still waiting for his Oscar.
He did deserve to win for A Beautiful Mind, not The Insider. Although great, it was not as good as Denzel in The Hurricane, or at the level of Spacey in American Beauty.
João Solimeo About Ridley Scott that is shame disgracefull. One of the best directors of all time. Old scholl real man. Nowadays movies about transexuals gays and other freaks winning the oscar for nothing. I think Steven Spielberg make decision and play main role in Academy. For the last 10-15 years for sure. Maybe this is envyness thay dont like him. Like Leo di Caprio and Scorseze and other
The way Joaquin Phoenix reacted to his win is incredible. He is a great person
He was surprisingly happy for a guy who forced Joaquin to stab himself in the arena
Larry Legend GOAT hahaha ,, I know right
Great actor*
And he got his in 2020 well deserved!
Masaki Saito you tripping homie
He looks truly shocked about his name being called. I love how Joaquin is so excited for him.
I think maybe he thought Tom would win for Castaway
chateau pig Yeah since Tom won the Best Actor at Golden Globes
True friends are happy when their friends succeed ;-)
Míralo a Joaquín phoenix quien diría que ganaría ese mismo premio años después por el joker
He is a great actor, but I think Tom Hanks, Ed Harris and Geoffrey Rush performances was better.
Joaquin was so genuinely happy for him. What a great guy.

@@pilotgal6191 I wouldn't be able to tell you if that was true or not, but given it's RC, very possible, lol ;-) He seemed genuinely surprised at the win, but as I love that film, I think it was entirely deserved 🙂
What an awesome line, "for anybody who is on downside of advantage and relying purely on courage, it's possible."😇😇😇
It was awesome. Intelligent & generous man.
This is my favorite oscar acceptance for a male actor. From the beginning where he is taken off guard and assaulted by his cast and crew mates, who seem happier than he is, to that great bit at the end where he talks about childhood imaginings.
It wasn't overly emotional. It was just right.
You can see how happy Joaquin and all the other nominees are for Russell. One of the greatest roles ever!
Joaquin is such a good friend, he is happier than Crowe himself xD
"If anybody's who's on the downside of advantage, and relying purely on courage....it's possible." Fucking deep. They don't make simple, uplifting acceptance speeches like they used to.
Yeah.
Can you plz elaborate this for me ? I am from non English background thanks .
@@imranbacha I think he was saying even when the odds are against you, the will to succeed can make the difference. A lot of celebs are born into it, but there are some who really bust there ass to get there and I believe Crowe fought tooth and nail for everything he earned.
@@harryfromwork Thanks for your wise words
@@harryfromwork which in fact summarizes his charakter in Gladiator to it’s finest….never give up. Beautiful message.
His closing speech is truly inspiring. One of the best Oscar's acceptance
Russel Crowe really one of the greatest ever
He should have said:
"Are you not entertained?"
6 1 yep he acted it
Damn why didn’t he ?

A lot of people praise Russell Crowe for his stunning performance in the Gladiator but truth to speak, this movie wouldn't be what it is if not for Phoenix. My credits go to both of them equally.
OMG those are really talented actors, it was a hell of a competition back then
Completely agree with you there. Impossible to choose from. But good choice in all. I can still watch Gladiator today, and that would be the 25th time if i did. It's that good.
Would you consider yourself to be a good person?
How many lies have you told, and what do you call someone who lies? Have you ever stolen something, and what do you call someone who steals? Have you ever taken God’s name in vain (very serious; in Old Testament times, the Jews wouldn’t even say the name of God for fear of blasphemy) - even ‘OMG’? One more: Jesus said whoever looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery in his heart; have you ever looked with lust?
Well I’m not judging you - but if you’ve done these things then you’re a liar, thief, blasphemer and adulterer-at-heart; that’s how seriously God takes sin. He is Holy (perfectly good/righteous and separate from sin) which means that H e is perfect in justice - and if He were to judge you by the moral law (we’ve already looked at 4 commandments) would you be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? The answer is hell - the wrath of God upon you for your sin. Is that concerning?
But fortunately, God’s will is not that you perish. He wants all men everywhere to be saved. So do you know what He did for us guilty sinners? In self-giving mercy, He sent His Son Jesus Christ. He lived the perfect life that we should have lived - tempted at all points and yet He NEVER sinned. Through His life, being in very nature God, He revealed God to men; but we in our hatred condemned Him to death. On that cross as Jesus suffered, He took on the sin of the world and was judged in our place; receiving God’s wrath. You and I broke God’s law, but Jesus paid the fine. God can justly forgive us.
On that cross He died, then He was buried, but 3 days later He was raised from the dead - conquering death and Hell and ushering in The Kingdom of God. He then ascended to the right hand of God the Father (where He came from) now Lord of the living and the dead. God has fixed a date when He will judge the world in righteousness. What you need to do is repent (In humility, acknowledge your sin before God and turn to a relationship with Him) and trust ALONE in Jesus Christ and His work on the cross; and God will grant you the gift of the Holy Spirit. Then be baptised.
When you place your trust in Jesus - the Lord and Saviour - these things will happen:
1) God will forgive the sins that you have committed; they were paid for by Jesus at the cross.
2) The perfect life that Jesus lived will be credited to you. He will find you holy and blameless on judgement day (and now), as Christ’s righteousness covers you.
3) You receive a place in Christ’s kingdom as an adopted child of God. God becomes your Father. Eternal life isn’t just about living forever, but a personal relationship with God Himself. That life can start now; The Father will reveal Himself to you if you seek Him.
4) God doesn’t just save you from the penalty of your sin (Hell). He can save you from the power of sin itself. Whoever practices sin is a slave of sin; but when you repent and believe the gospel [WHICH HAS BEEN DESCRIBED] the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in you and sanctify you (working in you to further abandon sin and turn to the will of God). When the end of the age comes, and eternity begins, this work will be brought to completion as you are finally freed from the presence of sin.
Jesus offers to take away your sin and to give you His righteousness; you must receive it by faith. Choose this day if you will align with the world, or with Jesus and His kingdom - only His is eternal.
ROMANS 10:9 - If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
EPHESIANS 2:8-9 - For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no-one may boast
Yes indeed. I was like ohhh what a competition. And i so like Russel Crowe but if any of them won, wouldn't be so heart breaking. But he did and so my heart was happy.
Man foreal..
@remy Yes. Just sharing truth I hope you'll consider
Perfect acceptance speech from Russ .... who obviously didn't expect to win.....named all the names to thank meticulously.....even though he hadn't ..... " prepared" a speech.... BRAVO....he definitely deserved the OSCAR !
He forgot to thank his wife.
@@firenze5555 I noticed that that too, and tho' I know they're no longer together, I'm sure it wasn't intentional; I think he was just so genuinely surprised at the win. And, goodness, it looks like he wanted to kiss her first, but all his buds/colleagues got ahold of him before he could; she graciously waited :-)
He's literally like "...did they just say MY name?"
That's some real guy love between Crowe and Phoenix.
Mst3kfan1994 There’s a lot of men crush on Phoenix.
He should have won for A Beautiful Mind too in my opinion
yeah true!!
Yes . ALEXANDER , RUSSELL CROWE SHOULD HAVE WON FOR A BEAUTiFUl MIND , TOO. SIM , ALEXANDER , RUSSELL DEVERIA TER GANHO O ÓSCAR POR SUA ATUAÇÃO EM UMA MENTE BRILHANTE TAMBÉM , IRREPREENSÍVEL, INCRÍVEL RUSSELL !!!!!
Of course, but the over sensitive people would have lost their minds.
a beautiful mind? that was justin bieber not russel crowe
alexxxandder As far as I'm concerned, his perfomance in 'A beautiful mind' was better than the one in 'Gladiator'.
2:10 at that moment Joaquin said to Russel: "Smile for me now, brother."
lmao😂
Aye.. AYE!
Russell Crowe; One Of The Greatest Actors Of All Time.
The look he gives the crowd when he gets up there, and then a beautiful speech. And how he recognizes the whole crew. He's an amazing man. 👏👏👏
Russell crowe is looking a billion bucks.Honestly i feel that he definitely deserved an Oscar for gladiator,his acting was so subtle .
He truly looked stunned. Love him .
I can't tell you how heartfelt and sincere I am when I say I'm glad to have had a positive acquaintance with all of you💜🌹💗
Finally Phoenix is going to win an oscar. He deserves it since Gladiator
majin vegeta you called it!
Never, Crowe has been the best in that movie.
@@franciscoignaciosalazararr3984
Oscar for best supporting actor.
Yes
LOL
I prefer Cast away... wayyyy better.
#behumble 👍
"Are you NOT entertained?! Is this not why you are here?!" - If only Russell Crowe had said that to the audience.
He was in total shock
RIP Richard Harris (October 1, 1930 - October 25, 2002), aged 72
And
RIP Oliver Reed (February 13, 1938 - May 2, 1999), aged 61
You both will be remembered as legends
They just don’t make films like this anymore. Was truely a work of art by incredibly skilled actors
His reaction when they announced his name is great. Looks like he saw a ghost.
YEs!this is how you win an oscar.Be fucking surprised.These snobs barley crack a smile or widen their eyes.
Let's not forget that in the lead up to the Oscars, there was no clear frontrunner for the Best Actor award. That prize was evenly distributed among other people at other ceremonies (Crowe won the Critics Choice; Tom Hanks won the Golden Globe; Benicio Del Toro won SAG (Del Toro won the Oscar in the Supporting category), while Jamie Bell (who wasn't even nominated at the Oscars) won the BAFTA). This category was up in the air at the time.
axr714 thanks for the insights. I’ve watched the Oscars for years since ever I was kids but when I was younger I didn’t pay attention to the lead up and speculation about who or what would win. Good info, its not Wonder he had a genuine shock reaction
axr714 yes, this was during the time when actors weren’t sweeping the statue in every single award show they were in.
Explosive Candy lol
This year 2019 Joaquin Phoenix will definitely get it #Joker
Long overdue.
I really hope so, his portrayal of the joker is outstanding.
Overrated
Im praying he deserves it ❤❤❤
I hope so!
Russell Crowe seriously should have won an Oscar for his performance in A Beautiful Mind!!
Yes, but his name is not Tom Hanks and he's not American. If he was Hanks he'd have 3 Oscars, these two and 'Cinderella Man.'
The water diviner ....
Yah he really ruined his shot at winning back to back Oscars after he roughed up someone at the BAFTA awards, and essentially alienated himself from Hollywood. It was his to lose. He had a good chance at winning 3 oscars in a row with his performance in The Insider, as the race was supposedly pretty close between him, Denzel, and Kevin Spacey.
Nope, Denzel deserved it, really stupid to say that he didnt. Kinda obvious why you think he didnt tho
So happy Russel won an Oscar for Gladiator. My favorite movie ever! I’ve watched this movie a hundred times I memorize their dialogues.
Absolutely the best movie ever. Masterpiece. Perfect cast, every one of them. Perfect costumes. Perfect. I have yet to see a better film!
Hello there. Thank you very much for your care, love, and support through my career. I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie from all of my movies you have seen so far?
@@russellcrowe7538 LMFAO, BROOOO
I think it was a great film. Not sure it was the best, but Ridley Scott’s best, which is saying something.
An incredible movie but Interstellar says hello.
🤝🏼
"For everyone who is on the down side of advantage nad relying purely on courage...it's possible." What a beautiful, beautiful thought.
Joaquin Phoenix is only 26 here wow
Cherry 36 actually. If he was 26, he would be the youngest Best Actor winner which is still held by Adrien Brody (29) to this day.
@@chrishernandez3699 they're saying JOAQUIN is 26, not Russel
Hes older now
@@maggs131 yea HHahahahahahahHHHHHHHhah
Smol
Isn't this the best Oscar speech ever? So well spoken and inspiring,
Russell was so charming and genuine on that stage!! He was great in this movie and as well in Beautiful Mind and would truly deserve another Oscar.
Thanks for the love and support, dedicated fans like you are the reason I have attained this greatness.where in the world are you watching from
Should’ve won for the beautiful mind too
Russell Crowe seemed to be in his 'John Nash' character on winning the award.
ikr
Exactly what I just thought!
He deserved oscar for ( a beautiful mind ) as well 👍
Yes ..But he looks young here
I am thinking of that too.
The most humble acceptance speech award of all time.
He certainly has a way with words. No wonder he and Ridley Scott were able to piece together that script on the fly. I love that last line of the speech: "For anybody who is on the downside of advantage and relying purely on courage: it is possible."
In 2002, for A Beautiful Mind, Russell Crowe won the SAG, Golden Globes, BAFTA and Critics Choice. Only award he didn't win was the Oscar, which went to Denzel Washington for Training Day instead. But Denzel Washington should have won for Malcolm X, but that year Oscar went to Al Pacino for Scent of a Woman. But Al Pacino should have won for Dog Day Afternoon and The Godfather.
So, as you can see, it's a vicious cycle created by the Academy. God knows when this will stop.
Perhaps if they loosened the rules for there to be a tie
Thank you! you've made my day XD
@@joshscomputer yes like in olimpic games gold for swim or gimnastic
This is so true
It all started in Sicily...
Russell Crowe deserved every inch of the Best Actor Oscar of 2001.
I finally landed a job after an year of interviews, rejections and preparation.
It was more difficult as the Covid started to affect the job opportunities. Anyway, I feel all the hard-work payed off. I want to thank Russel Crowe, as this speech helped me stay optimistic through these tough times.
“If you’re on the downside of advantage and rely purely on courage, it’s possible.”
Russell Crow deserved the Oscar for "A Beautiful Mind" in addition to this one.
Can't say enough about Ridley Scott. What a director! Russell Crowe definitely deserved the award. What a great movie!
Why is RC acting weird on camera? Is he like this? Introverted or something?
The late 90s and early 00s were Crowe's best years. He made so many great performances in a few years - LA Confidential, The insider, Gladiator, A beautiful mind, Master and commander.
Exaclty
It was the same amazing few years for his fellow Aussie, Nicole Kidman. The Others, Moulin Rouge, The Hours, Dogville, Cold Mountain etc.
@Tom Reedy finally somebody mentioned that film...I really loved his acting in that movie and became his fan.
Yes I agree . He made some great movies
I thought a Beautiful Mind should have won him an Oscar
Pretty confusing how sympathetic Mr. Phoenix is in real life
musicaltheatergeek79 his character in the Gladiator was the complete opposite of who he is in real life.
Donna Marie it's why Phoenix was an incredible actor in the movie :)
Ramsay Bolton when they announced Russell Crowe’s name and Joaquin kissed him I thought Joaquin was gonna stab him haha he was still Commodus to me, even at the Oscars
@@donnamariedavidson5065 That is why his profession is called 'acting'.
Commodus would have had his family murdered.
We just watched Gladiator last night for the…I don’t know how many times! It’s one of my top favorites and just heard Gladiator 2 trailer was released two days ago! Russel Crowe was so deserving of the Oscar and I’m hoping this 2nd Gladiator stays true to the greatness of the first.
His reaction is absolutely priceless. You could tell that beforehand he wasn't expecting to win because he was going up against greats like Tom Hanks and Geoffrey Rush, but his shock and astonishment when they called his name is so genuine. Great job, Mr. Crowe!
This is by far the greatest oscar acceptance speech of all time. I get goose bumps everytime i listen to this.
And you've heard them all since 1929 eh? 🤣🤣🤣
It's not though. There are many others.
@@bozoclown99 heard quite a few. And I stand corrected, its the best for me. May be not so much for others 🙏
Check out Forest Whittaker’s speech. That’s a great one
Crowe also should've won the oscar for It's A Beautiful Mind
Yaa exactly
Gary Feifer Russell got this for missing out on The Insider the year before. Went toe to toe with Al Pacino and bested him.
Sooo truee.. A second one
Well Tom Hanks deserved this one.
I agree
just go back through time and you can just see how happy Joaquin Phoenix is when his friends and fellow actors win, and rewind to when he won for Joker he still takes more time talking about his fellow actors etc then himself.
Tom Hanks had to be thinking he was going to win it. 'Cast Away' was all him. A tour de force performance. But Russell deserved it most, probably one of the most talented actors in that room.
4:00 Ridley Scott trying so hard not to cry
God damn the lip wince and blink blasts :’)

Joaquin was so sweet hugging Russell :)
Yes, and he kissed him on the cheek.

Joaquin celebrating with Russell is fantastic, I swear he grabbed him and hugged him and whispered "embrace me, brother"
This world needs more Joaquins, He’s a Treasure.♥️

A well-deserved win against some big names in some great films. Crowe's performance in GLADIATOR was intense and emotional. He was perfectly cast but he has always been a remarkable lead actor right back to his Australian films.

I have never seen Joaquin Phoenix so happy before...
Joaquin Phoenix is a fucking great actor of this generation and he is robbed time and again by academy. But he has learnt it and is one of the least fuck givers of this industry. This man deserves serious appreciation for his work he has produced over the years. My personal favorite role of his is 'Doc Sportello' in Inherent Vice, in which he abso-fucking-lutely nailed his character. Take a bow, Joaquin Phoenix.
+Kartikeya Dutta I think the Academy is too frightened of what would come out of Joaquin's mouth if they gave him an Oscar.
No offence to DDL but he deserved an oscar for 'The Master'...probably the greatest performance by an actor in the 21st century...."the processing scene" is voted as the best acting scene in cinema history according to cinefix
+Kartikeya Dutta Plus, he HATES campaigning, which is pretty much most of the road towards an Oscar win.
People go on about DiCaprio being robbed (now he got one) when in reality it's the likes of Phoenix, Roger Deakins and of course Sir Ridley Scott that's truly been robbed. That's some of the biggest crime in cinematic history.
What about them? They're dead.
That was 15 years ago and Crowe was at the top of his game. He should´ve won this for his performance on "The Insider", a year before, and deserved to win again the next year, for "A Beautiful Mind". People usually think about him as a bully or a prankster, but this speech was great. By the way, Ridley Scott is still waiting for his Oscar.
He did deserve to win for A Beautiful Mind, not The Insider. Although great, it was not as good as Denzel in The Hurricane, or at the level of Spacey in American Beauty.
João Solimeo About Ridley Scott that is shame disgracefull. One of the best directors of all time. Old scholl real man. Nowadays movies about transexuals gays and other freaks winning the oscar for nothing. I think Steven Spielberg make decision and play main role in Academy. For the last 10-15 years for sure. Maybe this is envyness thay dont like him. Like Leo di Caprio and Scorseze and other
He really picked some great roles back in the day. Loved him in LA Confidential, as well.
Maximus was such a great role. One of the ultimate movie badasses. What an awesome character.
Now 17
Oscar was NEVER more deserved, absolutely SPECTACULAR performance,one of the most iconic characters ever created.
