Whatever you may think of him, we needed him that year, and he showed up and delivered.
Only Academy Award he ever went to despite 21 nominations
He won Best Director and Screenplay for Annie Hall and Best Screenplay for Manhattan. Annie Hall also won Best picture
@@BUDDYZEC Most recently he won for best original screenplay for Midnight in Paris.
Buddy Zech Woody Allen was only nominated for Manhattan. He did win other screenplay Oscars for Hannah And Her Sisters and Midnight In Paris
@@blissm3dia482 1978 - Annie Hall best movie, best director, best screenplay
Not too many of you comprehend simple English.
I remember being stunned when Woody Allen appeared at the Oscars. Something I never thought would happen.
Exactly....a real Surprise for me too....
The compilation after, was stunning as well. But this %$*)¡# Oscars account, never shows them!!! It pisses me so %$!# off!!!
I think everyone was. He's been avoiding the Academy for so many years, even declined the invitation for membership and there he was.
I will miss him terribly when he is gone. Like so many of his generation, he had a great wit and a wonderful sense of comic timing. Still holds the record for most writing nominations.
Pisses me off how he's been so maligned in recent years.
Bet his kids won't.
The ones Mia coached? Probably not, but then again she is a psycho who used to adopt and return children as if they were dolls.
Gvll I’m
😅@@joshuafisher4241
All they really had to do was show the opening to Woody's film "Manhattan". That's the best love letter to a city ever made.
Woody Allen absolutely despises Manhattan though, it's the film of his own he hates the most, so it's no wonder they didnt show it XD
why does he hate it, if u know ?
He tells the Associated Press,
“When I saw it, I was not crazy about it. To this day, I have memories of it as being disappointing to me. I’m not saying it wasn’t beautifully filmed - it was (cinematographer) Gordon Willis, shot in black in white - and the people were good. But the writing was too preachy, too self-righteous. That’s one of the reasons I thought (2001 film) Match Point was a good film, because it wasn’t preachy or self-righteous. It just was what it was.”
Which plays to my point about the opening of Manhattan. It was a beautiful homage to NYC, brilliantly shot in black and white. Even Woody admits how great the movie looked.
pac401
He said that? I dont believe that, he HATES Manhattan. It's the film of his he dislikes the most.
For his beloved New York, Woody sure turned on the charm. Absolute genius,
When I was growing up in the 80s, I fantasized being an adult, going to parties and having conversations like a Woody Allen script!
Unfortunately, people don't talk like that. I wonder if they ever did.
@@oscarwilde5473 Perhaps in your mental ward they do...
I’d stay well away from him if I was young lmao
@@tom13king Why? He's been happily married for 23 years with no scandals at all.
Woodys speech has more witty, drama, humour, structure and comedy than most movies nowadays.
@Sheila collins: if you hate him so much, why did you click onto a video with his name in the title?
or was it just to make your stupid comment?.
@Sheila collins: i thank you for the compliment. mark
@Sheila collins She never was his step daughter
You mean his speech is much better than his new movies too
@Sheila collins I don't care.
A brilliant man. And good on Baz Luhrmann for jumping to his feet to lead the standing ovation.
one deviant applauding another
BRAD PITT Looool
TheVideoInvader am i the only one who read the Judge's statement re woody allen ?
" his behaviour was grossly inappropriate .. measures must be taken to protect Dylan "
BRAD PITT No, you're not. But this is not about his personal life. This is about an extremely talented man who has shared his love of NY through his talent. That's all.
I was wondering who it was. Thanks for ID-ing. Definitely deserving standing ovation
It's awesome that he got a standing ovation just for being there.
What's a standing ovation by a bunch of vain, superficial Hollywood celebrities and producers worth? I'm sure very little to Woody Allen, who has always been open in his contempt for Hollywood. I guess you missed that part of his "message".
He never shows up to he Oscars because he's as much of a wreck in real life as he is in his movies. He never goes, because he gets too uncomfortable, but because of 9/11 he made an exception and felt compelled to go.
Jon Matthews I heard that he does not attend the Oscars because he dont belive in rating and comeptition of "art".
+Hans Lindvard Tryterud - Don't know if that's true or not but it makes perfect sense. Awards shows are absurd, completely subjective, and pointless.
80% of life is just showing up
The word "genius" is thrown around like manure these days. Woody is one of the few living artists to whom it genuinely applies.
Hes also a creep
@@eesafredericks2122 don't believe he's a Child molester
Really? HIs films have been tedious for a good 30 years. He bores himself - that's why he has to constantly start new films. He realizes his essential shallowness and loses confidence in them after six months (and rightly so).
@@eesafredericks2122 Yes, but let's not forget he's also a very repetitive and boring film-maker!
@@eesafredericks2122 Absolutely, he is. But, he's still a comedic genius...in spite of himself.
Woody is extraordinary talent. He makes movies, acts and writes the kind of humour you would never find anywhere else on earth. I love his humour and his movies. May he continue to make such beautiful movies for many more years!
There aren't many people who have made as many BAD films as Allen. He is, basically, a joke writer. His best films (e.g. Annie Hall) are strings of one-liners. He hasn't made a really great films in decades. Now he just lazily churns out one mediocre film after another, which unthinking and superficial fans flock to see and over-praise.
You can have your opinion but what's a bit disturbing is that you had to insult people who might really enjoy his movies by calling them "unthinking & superficial fans". Your reply is quite disgraceful, I don't even know what to tell you. Conversation ended. Ignored from here on.
Nimesh Nambiar Yes, very "disturbing" and "disgraceful". Sinister and maybe even ... dangerous!
+chel3SEY two words: blue jasmine
+ chel3SEY - And you are?
He is a treasure of cinema as the great Roger Ebert said.
Roger Ebert was a prized treasure himself, rest his soul.
@@AA-sn9lz Roger Ebert was a celebrity critic in the same way Gordon Ramsay is a celebrity chef. Dude misfired half the times he opened his mouth.
@@muhabmetwalli5718 tell me one time he did misfire.
Edit: okay, maybe once or twice. But most of the times Ebert was spot on. The man had insight and taste. He saw movies for what they were. He was a soldier of cinema as Werner Herzog called him. And not everybody gets praised by Werner Herzog.
@@AA-sn9lz Beetlejuice, The Raid, Brazil, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut... Dude gave Anaconda 3.5/5 and praised the CGI 😂 I can keep going; these were only off the top of my head.
@@AA-sn9lz You can credit him for popularizing film criticism, but I don't think his opinions should be taken anymore seriously than those of the average film fan. Difference between Ebert and Herzog is night and day: Herzog is an esteemed filmmaker, and every time he speaks, you can see where he's coming from because you have a vivid picture of what his idea of cinema is, and you can use it as an anchor. Ebert only spoke.
Paul McCartney laughing at Woody is the best thing I have ever seen
SAME
best thing you ever seen? Why?
@@ellenrosenblatt5463 because Paul McCartney is the greatest songwriter ever and Woody Allen is one of the greatest filmmakers ever, so it's great to see how one laughs with the other
I would argue that Bob Dylan is the best songwriter ever.
@@ellenrosenblatt5463 He is also one of the greatests. But Paul McCartney is a perfect songwriter both in melodical and lyrical terms, while Bob Dylan focuses more on his poetry. Also, we must remember that Bob Dylan's albums almost always have some filler songs (except for The Freewheelin Bob Dylan, Blonde on Blonde, John Wesley Harding, Slow Train Coming and Saved; in my opinion), and the Beatles albums have none. McCartney's solo albums are, although not always perfect, always very even.
As a writer, this man is my idol!! I love him. I've seen all his movies. He's brilliant! And if I knew Woody when he was younger, I'd fall in love with him.
One of my favorite Oscar memories of all time. I remember watching this and listening to Whoopi's intro, the first name that came into my mind was Woody Allen but I thought, hell, no. No way so I thought It's GOTTA be Martin Scorsese. Even after Whoopi said the words WOODY ALLEN, I couldn't believe it until I saw walk out across the stage. I went, OHHH SHIIITTT!!! And gave him a standing ovation in my room! LOL.
You can definitely feel the emotion in his voice
He's still so brilliant at stand up comedy even though it isn't his main thing anymore. wow!
I remember watch the back stage feed through the internet where he talked to the press and someone asked him what he would be doing in LA.
He said he was looking forward to some of the local culture, like a mud slide or an earth quake.
I distinctly remember watching this. It was truly a surprise (and a well kept secret) to have him appear. Keep in mind, this man had already won a few Oscars but never once attended the ceremony to pick them up. He notoriously detests Los Angeles and was reportedly already back in New York that very evening (on the plane before the Oscars concluded). I don’t think he had attended the Academy Awards before and he has not attended them since. A remarkably humble speech, at a time when the nation was still numb.
Performance wise, woody allen's movies are one of the smartest ive ever seen
not to mention the dialogues.
“Chapter one: he adored New York City...”
He idolized her all out of proportion.
@@parsnipmcgee329 God I love this😎
Uh, no make that he romanticized it all out of proportion, yeah
I have loved & respected his stand comedy, as well as the films he had written & directed since the early 1960s.I once told a friend that a mediocre Woody Allen film is better than 95% of the films that are released during a given year. He is one of a kind!
“I’m 66 years old so a third of my life is over.” 😂
"I don't want to achieve immortality with my movies, I want to achieve immortality by not dying." - Woody Allen
That’s a quote, right there. When did he say that?
He deserves every bit of the applause . That makes up for the strip search . Classic woody
Nice tribute & a worthy round of applause - they had to make the most of it as he'll never be on that stage again.
God I love this man. I love his movies. Him and Diane Keaton = perfection
It's so weird that he actually went to this.
Well he didn't need to accept an award or anything, he just needed to talk about New York!
Thanks
lol okay
Apparently Nora Ephron applied some pressure and talked him into it, so I’ve heard.
@@osloosvencim9442 liar.
Woody is one of the greatest stand-ups ever. And then he bacame one of the greatest film writers and film directors ever. He 's also written several great plays and many dozens of the most laugh out loud (REAL LOL) short stories. He's even a good actor. The man is ridiculously talented.
It's a tragedy that millennials have demonized him.
Watching his 60's standup and still the same; meaning brilliant.
he is amazing with a very bright light in him
Woody Allen is the Best period
Yep! He's amazing!!!! We love him!
There is no "best" when it comes to art. It's completely subjective.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH OK let say he is very funny...
Noo-Yawk
Donsknotts.
Yeah that's a Brooklyn accent, genius
@@hayberdasher8625
Geesh
The only appearance of Woody Allen ever.
Yes and it is memorable.
Huh? He appears all over the place, with some regularity. At festivals, press conferences, at The Carlyle to play music, etc.
the only appearance on the Oscars that is.
As the same as Katharine Hepburn.
Woody Allen is my idol , the film Manhattan is one of my all time. favorite films. it's a gift to N.Y.
the opening sequence with the music of George Gershwin and those panoramic b/w shots of Manhattan skyline never fail to give me goosebumps.
Woody, Woody, Woody, I love your movies, I love all your New York movies and trust me, you're MUCH better than many filmmakers when it comes to paying tribute and/or respecting and loving New York. It's the city that never sleeps, New York, I hope more filmmakers will make films in New York along with you, Woody. NEW YORK ROCKS!!!!!
Woody is the greatest.
He WAS the greatest... long, long ago. Now, he's just a sorry figure who has overstayed his welcome in the film-making profession. With each new film the average quality of his output steadily falls. I will say nothing about his views on family life...
Well the fact that he doesn't make films like he did before doesn't mean that he should be stopped considered to be one of the greatest. Every filmmaker are like boxers or football players they have their time and when they pass that time their performances won't be the same off course but Woody Allen is definitely a treasure of American Cinema and no one can deny that.
+chel3SEY - You should probably stick to saying nothing.....period.
Good reply. Very convincing. A compelling and substantive rebuttal. You're a genius. The next Woody Allen.
I deny it.
His personal life is questionable, but his movies are....I can’t really think of a word, that’s how good they are! When it comes to New York and films, Woody Allen is the first name that comes to my mind.
Manhattan is simply gorgeous and one of my favorite Woody Allen films, along with Annie Hall and Midnight in Paris
His personal life ain't nobody's goddamn business.
Check out the new RUclips documentary on the Woody Allen allegations. “By the Way, Woody Allen Is Innocent”: ruclips.net/video/muyaCg2dGAk/видео.html
This performance, made some 20+ years ago, combines the long-ago stand-up persona of Woody Allen with the then long-since hyper-accomplished film industry great. Sheer brilliance combined with his love of his home town. And fast-forward to the present, he's still at it. There will never be his equal.
His mind is enchanting...
that's what I love about him, a unique director, and he has so much genuine modesty, not to mention his scence of humor that comes out every time he speaks ❤
such a sweet man. God bless him & his talent!
Yeah... too sweet...🤢
I love woody’ s all movies he is brilliant
This guy is a comedy legend
this guy is an art legend
With her daughter ohh sorry wife ,no no both
@@appleslover Another moron saying that Woody married his daughter. By the way, Soon-Yi Previn and him are together for 26 years. Enjoy following the herd and the social media mob. We love Woody Allen! He's the greatest!
This guy is a LEGEND
And a predator
Woody Allen is a Movie Legend
I remember watching this. Still love it. Especially the "Do they want them back bit" hilarious
Woody's the greatest artist! We love you, Woody! Keep creating! Your Art makes life better! Thanks!
There is something in that guy! Love watching his movies
I love how he gets a standing ovation just for turning up :')
One of my favourite directors !!!
The reaction and the standing ovation from the crowd when he entered gave me chills!!!
Dhanesh B standing ovation to a pedophile! Sick world.
Innocent until proven guilty
@@goddessglow6996 @Arken9 there's a difference between accusing somebody of something and calling that person a convict of something. You wanna check the records of the police investigation into the Woody Allen case, go ahead, he was acquitted based on the investigation made back then, and there were two such investigations made against him with extreme diligence, of which he came out completely clean. I'm not talking bullshit about something I believe in and stuff, I'm talking this after going through various legitimate sources regarding the incident.
Here are few of the sources that'll give you a broader perspective of different viewpoints in the case. If you're patient enough to arrive at a personal judgement on Woody Allen based on all the legitimate sources and not the "alleged" sources, here are few links for you that could help you in the process -

Let me know when you form an opinion on him after going through all of the above patiently.
@@dhaneshb5440 I will ! Thank you ! But keep in mind the Hollywood police are paid to hide their wickedness. It's all a show for the masses. Corey Feldman is a testimony of this.
@@goddessglow6996 Yasss! Thanks! I do agree with a such a possibility of corruption and bureaucracy among people of power. That could be a fair assumption to help arrive at a valid criticism. But amidst all this when nothing is proven it's always better to acknowledge the person as accused and not guilty. He was accused once 21 years ago, he came out clean proving his innocence and now those accusations have resurfaced again but that still won't make him "guilty".
Alvy, you were just great.
I was so happy to see him come to the Oscars that year. I never was present before. It shows that he really loves New York enough to come out for this.
Same hollywood people now pretend to despise woody. Amusing
I love that he still does that fake cough thing, the stand up ticks don't go away.
The real Mr. N.Y.
and this is the first last only time mr allen will ever grace an awards show in his life
+Igor Yankilevich - If you can discern the future with such clarity, what are the numbers for the next Powerball lottery? Send me a PM please, as I don't want others to see them.
I've got them. 4 8 15 16 23 42
yeah, another was just a few years ago with afi for diane keaton. new york and keaton - two loves of his life for who he would make the exception any day.
Love him. I went to New York for a week once and I just kept thinking "I wish I could bump into Woody Allen". I admire him enormously
He still plays clarinet at Carlysle.
I hope you don't have children. Also, you need JESUS.
@@vybie I don't have children and I am a Christian
@@davidmilligan7820 good for you then. Woody Allen is a Luceferian for your information.
@@vybie I don't know anything about his beliefs, but I like his humour
Stay safe Woody.we need you.
I remember watching this with a group of people and everyone in the room was “NOOO WAAAY!” when his name was announced. You can clearly tell that most in attendance had the same reaction. Woody said he was smuggled in, did his bit, talked to a few people then went out to dinner. When he got home the awards were still on.
Woody OWNED in this speech. Way to stick it to them, sir!
Woody, my most favourite celebrity of all time ❤️
Woody is a genius! One of the few American great cinema makers today. This is the best speech ever! We love you, Woody! #WeLoveWoodyAllen
Woody Allen has never been unpleasant about anyone, despite some unpleasant people having been unpleasant about him. He strikes me as a dignified man and genuine person.
Woody Allen is a treasure...love him and his amazing films. The world and especially US have gone bonkers ever since. I mean where is the unity people...UNITED States....more like Un-united States.
If you can seperate the art from the artist, Woody Allen is a genius
He is a genius, regardless of what you can or cannot separate.
4:07 Paul McCartney and Heather Mills - Ouch!
pac401 haha I caught that too
Yes!!
Yah and Woody made a foot joke LOL
@@unstablesun8179 LOL pity they didn't show their reaction to that one !
Now he cannot get a movie shown in the U.S. because of ancient LIES about a crime that was physically impossible for him to have committed.
I know. Pathetic.
Well, "A Rainy Day in New York" is getting limited distribution next month before a Blu-ray release in November and "Rifkin's Festival" has good reviews that will most likely lead to interest, so his new movies still have that going for them.
he is sooooo funny
garry shandling & marc maron reminded me of this on wtf...this moment froze time...i was in a brownstone in park slope, brooklyn, with my band getting equipment for a gig at the old knitting factory in tribeca...none of us even watched television back then, but the academy awards just happened to be on...the second whoopi goldberg said: woody allen, my drummer dropped a ride cymbal on her foot & i dropped my guitar & started to feel like i was having a panic attack...nyc & the whole universe was pure chaos at that point...then woody did standup & killed as if he never missed a beat.
The voice of Z from the 1998 Dreamworks movie ANTZ.
I believe in Woody
The worst ( if any) of Woody Allen movies is way better than any of the Oscar is rewarding lately, as being the "best" .
All have a message, great dialogue and cinematography
I remember in Allen's 2016 "Café Society" movie the main character visiting Hollywood remarks as opposed to NY, there is no garbage on the streets and he gets the answer "because they put all on the screen"...
That movie was pretty weak though. I far preferred "The Wonder Wheel."
Best appearance at the Oscars EVER! We love you, Woody!!!!!!!! #WeLoveWoodyAllen
We love you, Woody! You're the best!
i watched it several times. I think Woody's reading his own words from a teleprompter and that he purposefully had that script because he did not want to cry on TV. Also, when he speeds up a bit, it's to avoid doing so.
How do you know?
Woody Allen is the greatest American filmmaker of the last 50 years...Fans of Scorsese, Kubrick, Spielberg, Coppola, De Palma, Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, Peckinpah, Malick, Spike Lee, Oliver Stone, Coen Brothers, Friedkin, Cameron , I'm sure would all like to argue their case..But none have been as consistent or have continued to make intensely personal films and stay totally true to their own vision as Woody has..just putting it out there folks
Master Allen.
A true genius.
The greatest living filmmaker. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤
Woody, Paul, Manhattan...pure greatness.
That's the worlds best screenwriter currently living!
What a great director and writer!
For those of you that don't know, this was the first time EVER that Woody appeared at the academy awards. He was never there previously to accept his four oscars he has won. He said he didn't go because he didn't want anyone judging if he is good or not.
Talented man!
Jade Scorpion is probably Woody's most underrated unappreciated masterpiece.
@lionelraoul due to rights issues, we cannot post film clips--they are the property of the individual studios.
Woody Allen is a comic genius . The allegations against him are poppycock.
It'd be so good if he'd do stand-up again.
Matthew Wright he can’t be bothered
This was before the Soon-Yi Previn thing happened.
Otherwise they would not have invited him.
His films have won Oscars over the decades, he's never been there to accept them.
The producers talked him into making the trip to L.A. to show his support for the Oscars.
Thank you for uploading this!!!!!! I was so happy that Woody Allen came to introduce this!!!!!! This was after September 11th!!!!! Now could someone upload the Kevin Spacey intro to the In Memoriam segment because that is when the audience stood for a moment of slience because of the victims of 9/11. So moving and haunting!!!!
This speech makes me wish Allen had come to the Oscars sooner, think of all the great acceptance speeches we could have gotten.
I have to say that when I was a little kid I first saw TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN and two things hit me. First was the beautiful JANET MARGOLIN and 2nd was the joke where Woody's character, VIRGIL, was 'making a meager living by selling meagers', at which point there he was, Virgil, selling gift wrapped boxes of meagers on the street. I turned around to my parents and asked them what meagers were. I believe they may still be laughing today, at their poor, innocent boy's question. It was a golden moment seeing my parents laughing non-stop.
totally with you on Margolin
The man has not done stand up comedy for over 3 decades and he still kills it. Unbelievable!
He started as a stand up comic still hasn't lost his touch
God bless Woody Allen
HE IS A GENIUS!!
We love you, Woody! Thank you for your Art! Thanks for making life a bit better!
I love this guy to bits.... :)
Everything about Woody Allen's appeal is all right here in this clip.
Standing ovation! The world has gone down the 'woke' toilet since then.
And out of that toilet came a slimy, POS that represents the worst of NYC, donald trump, who you no doubt, voted for twice. Staying asleep and ignorant is your most salient feature. Obviously, you have your own issues(stupidity) in choosing role models...It is written.
It's a shame Mia farrow wrecked his life.
