RIP Farrah Fawcett and Marcello Mastroiani
wasnt marcia lucas responsible for a lot of the death star battle scene? she deserves to be remembered.
Well, she is...
No.
Um…did you watch the video?
I just realized, I've heard of Star Wars winning all these Oscar's but I've never actually seen any of it till now, and I'm a big fan too seeing the original trilogy as a child.
I came here for Marcello ❤️
so well deserved, the fact that this movie didnt win best screenplay, director and picture is an absolute crime
If anyone is watching in 2021, Paul just did an interview with Star Wars Theory and he actually brought up the behind the scenes of this moment. It’s great definitely check it out
I'm watching in 2021, also I read his book yesterday which also has the behind the scenes story. I think it's very touching that he was so flustered he forgot to thank his brother Chuck, and basically never lived it down ;)
bravo marcello
Even disregarding the “saved in the edit” story this is still one the best edited films ever made
What an amazing editor. Bless you Marcia
Thank George.
That wasn't LUCAS's first cut. It was the first cut of an editor in England who wouldn't cut it the way he wanted it. He had to fire the guy. The 3 editors who won cut it the way he wanted it, he supervised them.
Farrah was a true star. Shame on the Oscars for not giving her a tribute.
No respect
Beautiful lady. Loved her in Charlies angels,rest in peace sweet lady.
Marcia Lucas The Force Lady 🙏🏼
Star Wars Theory channel interviewing Paul Hirsch brought me here.
Shame on the Oscars for not including Farrah in the tribute this year. They included Michael Jackson, but not Farrah even though MJ did barely any acting work. Where's the logic?
Marcello ! :)))
Rest in peace and God bless you, Farrah Fawcett and Marcello Mastroianni, two of the most gorgeous and famous sex symbols in the entire world. Amen.
rip you beautiful woman
She is truly stunning. Born in the '90s, I wasn't really aware of her, until I saw a Barbara Walters special on the day she died. It made me go to the bathroom and cry my eyes out. Truly a beautiful human being with a beautiful heart.
Coming here after reading Paul's book! I can feel his heart beating in his acceptance speech, Marcia said George didn't want to be thanked! (you can kind of see it in her reaction!) They agreed to speak in the order they were credited, but once Paul was done Marcia said after that he thanked everyone and she had no one to add. Richard just followed suit. Paul has said it is one of his biggest regrets not mentioning his family, especially his brother. It's a wonderful book for any aspiring editor or film-fanatic! Highly recommend! :-)
Thanks for the recommendation of Paul’s book. I must read it. I liked the fact that he thanked Brian DePalma. Paul’s editing on Carrie was brilliant as well.
Yeah I just read it yesterday. It's a great, great look at everything, it really humanizes people like George/Marcia and Brian Depalma
@@sursurrus Just finished the book yesterday. Very inspiring
@@magrimaud1285 Thrilled you read it! It inspired me to write and learn about moviemaking!
@@sursurrus yeah! I'm from france and it has just been translated. A friend of mine got it for my birthday..! ;) Thrilled you read it too
My God she is so beautiful!
Who?
Farrah is so gorgeous, you forget about everything else.
Elaine Snow Farrah looked GORGEOUS I fell in love with the 1st time I saw it Grace Jones wore it in lavender but the gold and those heels it could still be worn today
Yes, that dress is fabulous. Grace Jones wore a lavender one!
Farrah was ravishing and Marcello great as usual.
Farah is great not to ravishing what a draconian comment
I Love these So much ! Back when the Oscars used to Be something !
Chain mail before Versace chain mail!
Her metal mesh dress by Stephen Burrows.
Marcello
OMG what a dress & sex appeal. Spot on. We don’t see that anymore in 2018.
Farrah's breathtaking!!
Interesting side note to this award. Farrah had just left TV for the movies. She was BIG, really BIG. She demanded a BIG mane as her co-presenter. She wanted Olivier or Brando!! She (or her people) nixed Henry Winkler, Jeff Bridges & others. This was her big entry into film stardom. When the world's 2 best actors proved unavailable, she grudgingly settled on nominee Marcello. Then SOMEBODY KILLED HER HUSBAND opened followed by SUNBURN and the rest is history.
Farrah is beautiful!
MISS FAWCETT... LOVELY
wow that dress
This hits different when you remember some of the *scene transitions in Star Wars look right out of Power Point
MARCHELOOOOO
QUE EDUCADO MARCELLO MASTROIANNI, UN CABALLERO EN TODA REGLA
I miss Farrah Fawcett !
She was so beautiful
Star Wars has great film editing.
jwelch5742 That’s an understatement. The Battle of Yavin, mostly edited by Marcia it’s been said, is still one of the most complex and intense sequences ever edited.
1:38-2:32 Awards
Bravo Farah!
Good God, Farrah was gorgeous
Farrah Fawcett-Majors a true angel.
Farrah was good enough to present a award but was not memorialized on the telecast after her passing because she was too "TV".
Great Dress! :)
@inxyEdits Yes, video (film editing) There's an award for film and sound editing.
1:02
Good job guys.
@leafyutube Your right. Sad too loose them both, they even died the same day but to forget Farrah thats soo wrong ...
Absolute Class
@funnybone1959 Annie Hall won that year, i think it deserved it, best Woody Allen film. I love Star Wars too though, but in a different way i guess. The other Noms were Julia, The Goodbye Girl and The Turning Point.
Wow!
what is the name of the host?
Marcia Lucas......supposedly she was heavily responsible for the Death Star battle scene...as well as helping to bring warmth and a 'human' face to the SW films........and supposedly didn't quite "take off" on George so suddenly as the story goes........now just a footnote in cinema history. At least that's what I heard.....
Odd that Ralph Rosenblum wasn't nominated for Editing "Annie Hall" (1977's Best Picture winner). He did win the BAFTA award though.
Both of his great children in the post-production editorial industry were picture editor
Steven Rosenblum, a three-time Oscar nominated film editor for Glory, Braveheart
and Blood Diamond. He has working with Emmy/Oscar winning filmmaker
Edward Zwick since 1975. His wife, Debbie Rosenblum, who was an assistant
film editor.
@kipale78 agree. he should have won. But too bad he always in competition with huge holywood actors like Michael Douglas at one time. and the other two actors i dont quitely remember who beat him on the category. Well, at least he's well respected as one of the greatest european actors of all times.
Where the Star Wars theme and walk-up?
Farrah is perfection here! The most beautiful and glamorous woman ever!
David Soloff You missed the nose I guess ?
Sophia Loren.
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope has great Film Editing.
geez... where the oscar for best special effects? that`s one of the coolest that star wars got that year.
Bob Hope is hilarious
Michael Khan for Close Encounters of the Third Kind?
Richard Chew for the win !!!!!!!!!!!! WOOT WOOT !!!!
Wow, Star Wars wins best editing. I cant believe the internet hasnt gone down with people watching the moment in history.
Bob Hope rules!
Why didn't he let Richard Chew speak? :(((((( *heartbroken*
Because you don't Chew with your mouth open.
@leafyutube
At least MJ composed music for Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
:25-:31 Subtext
The time Charlie's Angels meets Star Wars
Marcello Mastroianni should have won that year! He was robbed!
the academy always messed up talents, how long did Barbara Stanwyck & many many great Stars had to wait to finally get an honorary oscar just before they died!!! & how many never got recognition ! Susan Hayward waited 25 yrs before she got one for" I Want To Live" Marcello was a Damn great ACTOR an never got recognition from hollywood that sucks...
I have to ask the question. What does Marcia Lucas do now? I heard she even got some offers to edit and even direct some films, but she rejected every offer. Why does she even use her ex-husbands last name? How does she even support herself?
George told him not to thank him
sonya kraus im orginal
Editing saved the movie, well deserved
Star Wars was saved in the editing booth
No it wasn't
@leafyutube
There was no logic. It was done on purpose for some people to get upset at the thought of MJ getting a tribute over Farrah. Clearly, Farrah should have been in the tribute because of her body of work as an actress in film. It was just ignorant yet typical Hollywood bs to start a minor uproar over two decease individuals. Even the excuse for Farrah's exclusion given by the Academy was stupid. Nowadays, the media is all around bizarre and predicable.
Too bad Star wars didnt get best picture, or Close Encounters either. Or was close encounters even nominated for best picture?
lo recuerdo como si fuese ayer....que noche mas larga y fantastica,hoy en dia las entregas de los oscars son una mierda.
If only they gave George an Oscar to go with his then-wife's.
Do they mean Video Editing? Someone respond to my comment!
Tim yes.
heheheh
lol
Awful introduction
To be honest, I don't think she was all that...seriuosly
Here's the reason why this win is so well deserved. ruclips.net/video/GFMyMxMYDNk/видео.html
She fixed the mess of the star wars film her husband directed. Im happy she got credit.
grande marcello que presencia nada que ver con el actor gringo simplones y sobre actuados y la Farra se la estaba comiendo jorge luke ni mas ni menos
This is the woman who was close enough to George Lucas to override his autistic decisions. George Lucas probably suffers from Asperger's Syndrome, honestly. Marcia was able to inject emotion into the original Star Wars in ways that were LITERALLY incomprehensible to George -- he truly does not understand emotion... at all. AT ALL. The man has serious, serious mental issues. That in itself doesn't make him a bad person, but it does make him something different than what he pretends to be. You'll notice that many, many Star Wars prequel fans are also autistic.
Overrode his autistic decisions? Where did you find that information? Tabloids?
It was actually budgetary limitations that overrode those decisions. Also, Marcia was on set injecting emotion into Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher? News to me.
I have Asperger's too.
This is the most ableist shit I’ve ever read. Fuck off.
If it wasn't for their editing of Lucas crap, even Star Wars 4 would have been off/bad. Watch the deleted scenes & his first cut before they fixed it.
It's A Trap!
You can tell something's wrong when the editor who made all the actual decisions not only doesn't get to give a speech for her own Oscar, but is forced to accept it when her abusive husband who is already taking all the credit for her work is thanked.
You're so well informed. Where did you learn that Marcia Lucas was "the editor who made all the actual decisions" and that George Lucas was "an abusive husband ... taking all the credit for her work"? Let me guess: you read it in a comment from some nobody who can't back up what s/he says (i.e. someone just like you).
@@christopherroers9446
No.
I read it from her autobiography,
...as well as the personal accounts of several individuals involved in the making of the films, as well as official documentation of behind the scenes practices, as well as the fact she won the oscar for editing it.
@@MrMarsFargo Ah. Thanks for the specifics.
@@MrMarsFargo She didnt make the movie itself, but the editors or Marcia (which i dont know how much is true) atleast editors are being said to be the one to make the movies work by people.
STAR WARS ruined movies. The first blockbuster that every studio in Hollywood has been trying to duplicate ever since. Look at all the other (great) movies nominated in the 70s. NONE of them would be made by Hollywood now. Because of STAR WARS.
Lynn Turman William Friedkin compared Star Wars to McDonald's. He said when McDonald's arrived the appetite for GOOD food disappeared.
loveallthepeople1000 Yeah, good comparison.
***** You may be right. But that doesn't mean I'm wrong.
***** You're right and you're wrong. You're right that it was actually Jaws that started the whole blockbuster mentality. But you're wrong if you think they still make movies like Network or French Connection or Taxi Driver or Chinatown or Last Detail or etc, etc, etc. At least not by the major studios in Hollywood. Hollywood doesn't make "art" movies anymore (aka: any movie that isn't laden with cgi, car crashes, explosions, superheroes, brand familiarity AND aka: 90% of all movies made in the golden age of Hollywood). Yes, there are some "art" movies being made independently of Hollywood.
***** 95% of what Hollywood studios make now are big tentpole blockbusters. It takes a HUGE name like Scorsese or Spielberg or Eastwood to make those "passion pieces" you mentioned. So any director/producer/actor w/o iconic legendary status is NOT going to get a "passion piece" made (and even most of THEM won't get a "passion piece" made). So what are the chances of new directors getting something like that made? ZILCH. And I disagree that there aren't great screenplays being written. The talent has always been there. The difference is that in the 70s, the suits allowed the "talent" to make the movies they wanted instead of nowadays where the five major Hollywood studios are just one arm of a corporate conglomerate that is only interested in monetizing a movie that can return billions of dollars on their investment. I will agree it probably would have happened regardless of Jaws & Star Wars. Corporate greed has ruined everything. No reason to think movies would be any different.
her hair was a disaster...
MM is so cool that FF is nervous standing beside him
