It's not a big club, writer-actors. Out of the still living actors who already have an Oscar for writing, I only see the potential for an acting award in Matt Damon or Ben Affleck. Maybe Billy Bob Thornton.

yes to all of that but I’m very disappointed that this is the second time she won an Oscar and she never mention her mother! a gorgeous talented amazing mother of her Has anyone ever saw her work ?she might be the one who taught Emma Thompson how to act!
She attended one of the most elite universities in the world, Cambridge. Fun note: Hugh Laurie (House) and Stephen Fry were her classmates at Cambridge, and good friends as well.

@@mappingoutthesky Not just the 2 Oscars, he also presented her with her BAFTA award for Howards End, and he was sitting next to her when she won a Golden Globe for the same film. She should insist on having him around more...
Both Emma and Anthony should have received Oscars for "the remains of the day" , i haven't watched a better acting than that, it was perfect in every way possible .
Agreed! Both were absolutely brilliant in The Remains of the Day. Talk about back to back superb performances from Emma and then a completely different performance from Hopkins. Just the extreme from Silence of the Lambs should have gotten it for him, and it didn't hurt that he also had Shadowlands that year which he was also great in.
I have always seen that movie on the Netflix content and I never felt like watching it, I don't know why, but now that I read this coments I think I will give it a try... Thank you all!
One of the best adapted screenplays, ever. Adapting a 200 years old novel, stay true to the book but be fresh at the same time, that is one hard job to do. Of course it's helpful if you have such a brilliant mind and a great sense of humor as Miss Thompson does.
Agreed! I’m quite picky about what is done to an Austen novel when they put it on screen. I don’t normally like the changes they make, but this adaptation is so perfect. I never noticed till now that Thompson herself adapted it! Bravo!
This was Ang Lee’s first English feature film. If he was a director of more stature at the time, he probably would’ve been nominated for best director. Emma Thompson noticed the snub and graciously dedicated her Oscar to him. Of course Ang came into his own in later years and won two best director Oscars.
@@quitequiet1 Yes, it is weird that he didn't get nominated. Clearly the Academy loved the film, it got nods for Picture, Actress, Supp Actress, Screenplay and a few other categories. And it was such a great directing, Ang did a marvelous job with Emma's masterful screenplay.
My heart went shattering and my tears pouring when she thanked Ang Lee at the end of her speech. It was lovingly precious and the way she delivers in that presence are beyond words.
Emma Thompson has so much class, she is so funny, witty, beautiful and above all a perfectly genuine awesome, strong, powerful woman. love you Emma, xx
Fun fact: Emma Thompson is one of only 11 people (and the only woman) to receive acting and writing nominations in the same year (achieving this for SENSE AND SENSIBILITY) (she's also the only person ever to win both categories, winning acting for HOWARD'S END). The other 10 to receive both nominations in the same year were: Charlie Chaplin (THE GREAT DICTATOR), Orson Welles (CITIZEN KANE), Sylvester Stallone (ROCKY), Woody Allen (ANNIE HALL), Warren Beatty (twice, for HEAVEN CAN WAIT and REDS respectively), Massimo Troisi (IL POSTINO), Billy Bob Thornton (SLING BLADE), Matt Damon (GOOD WILL HUNTING), and George Clooney*. *Clooney is a unique case in that he's the only person EVER to receive both nominations for 2 DIFFERENT films in the same year, and he achieved this feat TWICE. He received a writing nod for GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK and an acting nod for SYRIANA (both in 2005, winning the acting one) and a writing nod for IDES OF MARCH and an acting nod for THE DESCENDANTS (both in 2011).
Emma's speech for this and for "Howard's End" was pitch perfect: short, charming, funny and to the point. A great favourite with AMPAS and deservedly so.
This was the second time, she was also a double nominee in the 1994 Oscars for best actress for The Remains of the Day and best Supporting actress for In the Name of the Father. and she is the only person to win Oscars for both acting and writing. and I believe the only actor to be twice a double nominee.

Emma Thompson, actress of "Nanny McPhee" and now, an iconic screenwriter of "Sense and Sensibility" in 1995 since she read Jane Austen's famous novel. Congrats to her role in writing and acting in this iconic movie. : )
Emma deserved that. Sense and Sensibility is one of my all-time favourite films. She's seems lovely and is very funny. We love you Emma!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Emma needs to get nominated again, so we can have another great and witty speech, as well as great acting. For whatever reason, Oscar started ignoring her work, and she's been every bit as good in some films since 1995.
So inspiring! I spent an entire day and evening engrossed in a publication of the script. It made write my own scripts. Such a brilliance Emma is I hope ...
Charming Emma. I miss to see her mum more enthusiastic for the situation... No hugs, no claps...Emma, I hope to see you win your 3rd Oscar, and hopefully with a warmer support!
Both her Oscars were presented by Sir Anthony Hopkins. :) and totally love how he smiled as soon as he opened the envelope ! PS- Both the speeches she started with saying "I do not know how to thank the Academy...."
I'm studying screenplays by watching the movie and reading the script simultaneously. A good exercise, you see how wonderful movies are written. I just did it with Sense and Sensibility. I must have watched it 30 times since I first saw it in the theatre. Great movie. What I didn't realise was that, a) it was written by Emma Thompson herself! b) she won the Oscar for it! Anyway, it comes as no surprise. Very talented woman. And very cute too. She's gorgeous in this video. And funnily enough, she's the one who ended up marrying Willoughby in real life.
+Gayle Elizabeth I wouldn't call it wonderful. if she had dwelled on the reality of such marriages and matched the correct people together I would have understood. Willoughby was meant to be a changed man and Marianne should not have married a middle aged man. Elinor was better suited. I don't think Emma saw the reality to the story. The author was just one who encouraged indoctrination of young girls via books. To get them to think older men were amazing and loved tthem when society was just ageist.
@@cocodakilla you do know the movie was based on the book by Jane Austen, don't you? You could tell her that you find fault with her story - but you'd have to dig her up.😉
Very often you can guess who the winner is by who is presenting. In this case, the previous time Emma Thompson won Oscar for Best Actress in 1993 for Howard's End she was also presented by Anthony Hopkins.
Even if he did (which he's perfectly capable of), I daresay Emma Thomson has the appropriate amount of self respect to avoid winning accolades on borrowed talent. She has enough talent of her own (& seems intelligent enough to be at peace with whatever the Almightly hasn't bestowed her with.)
Wow! What a great line-up for adapted screenplay that year. All of those movies--even Babe--was written so intelligently and carefully and any one of them could have won.
U just know when anthony is going to award u know it will be emma Thompson (being British), who thoroughly deserved it. Shame she wasnt nominated for love actually, saving mr banks, among many other films
When Emma Thompson was writing the screenplay for Sense and Sensibility, her computer broke down and she took it to Stephen's house where he helped her to fix it. It was on an episode of QI: just RUclips "Emma Thompson QI".
The smile of Anthony Hopkins to Emma just before saying her name is priceless and makes me happy.
Food!!!
He is her good-omen
He actually handed her another Oscar before 😆😆
That was so lovely!
Like Sophia Loren, who gave the Oscars to Roberto Benigni screaming "Roberto!!!". Okay, all of that was more Italian and less British... 😁😁😁
Hopkins really likes giving Emma her oscars.
Agreed, but since he has done it before when she has won, the rest of the actresses must see him come out and just give up right there.
He’s definitely her good luck charm.
Apparently

@@nicolesong6199 oh
And so, Emma Thompson became the only person in Oscar's history to win award for both acting and writing.
Uf, yo no sabia eso. (I didn´t know that)
I was about to ask what about Matt Damon and Ben Affleck for Good Will Hunting, then I realised they haven't won for acting yet 😅.

Funny how Anthony Hopkins presents both of her Oscars; for this and for Howard's End
I love his little smile when he looks into the envelope.
yes, he got clearly pleased with it! :)
Anthony Hopkins is so proud.
I guess he married her in Howard's End.
i loved them in The Remains of the Day
omg...her speech is just...why cant oscar winners these days make speech like that. She seems truly talented, well educated and humble person.
It's not about these days, it's Brits vs Yanks

I could not agree more...the film too for that matter
It is a stunning flawless adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's masterpiece.

My favorite role of his. You can tell why Emma wanted him for the part. They are great on screen together.
