You know his father Kirk Douglas was a tough act to follow . So full marks to his son Michael who proved himself to be equally as talented and just as hard working as his old man . That would not have been easy people, to step out from under such a giant shadow, it says a lot about both Michael and his father . Great stuff , thank you for this video, it was a well deserved award for Mr Michael Douglas . .......... a class act .
One of best actors I've seen on screen.
His wife proud of him too, he is the luckiest man in the world
He is such a well spoken man.
WOW. What a speech ! He left no one out and family last for best. What a Man !!! Will always love Michael !!

And his mother . I saw her, she was not invisible. Thru fisical pain she brought him to this world

Douglas' wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones is absolutely stunning and anyone who has seen her in either her Oscar winning role in "Chicago" or her performance opposite Sean Connery in "Entrapment" recognizes that she is a talented actress as well. Didn't Michael see her dancing in the aforesaid film? Douglas was great as Gekko in both "Wall Street" and the sequel, 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps". Happy that he is still with us and survived his diagnosis.
Non.
I remember Catherine in a british tv series The Larkins where she got her start
really blessed this couple
Michael made a really good speech...Bravo!
jack Nicholson and Michael Douglas are one of the Greatest Hollywood actors
doni woods Nicholson was in my opinion was a way way way way better actor
are two of the greatest!
add Clint Eastwood in there too..
Jack Nicholson has some many movies just like Mike Michael Douglas is a great actor to Clint Eastwood Harrison Ford Liam Neeson Woody Harrelson and many others yes I guess no political Because of Obama now Trump President Donald Trump
Douglas sure was the most beauty face image hairstyling actor on Hollywood 80 90 s ..
Hes a great public speaker
Michael never forgets to pay tribute to the great Karl Malden which i think says a lot about this man. A great actor who deserves all the awards bestowed on him
Now that I called that the class act speech. No politic involved, strictly his experienced as an actor, and his gratituded to the people that made his life much more meaningful and richer. Bravo Michel Bravo.
Michael
There was no politics involved because Obama was president and there was no real reason to complain. I'm sure the speech would be different if held today - Douglas, like everyone who cares for democracy, hates Trump's guts.
trumpass
Plenty of politics involved .. the American film industry is all politics.
Did you miss the part that American movies are the best ambassador for the US? Like, SOFT POWER?
Michael is a LEGEND - love him - what a talented actor and great human being😍
Mom I’m
Just like his father
he is my crush
Michael is not just a gorgeous man who can act but a comedian supreme. Beautiful, humble speech. It really was special to see his father also.
He is just so naturally eloquent and effortlessly polished - what an absolute pleasure to listen to him and see how he paints the canvas of his acting career with so many bright and superb colours, together with his Colleagues, Family and the esteemed AFI ‘Clan’...Great man, great show, rare privilege, for which i thank you sincerely, heartily.
OH, my God, actual CLASS! A star of the Silver Screen!
A memory of an amazing childhood: Michael Douglas. Thanks for honouring such a great actor
Wow...Michael Douglas is the best!! I hope this brilliant acto wins more Oscars. God bless him!
Actor
This guy won 2 Oscars, That not enough??
Al Pacino, De niro & Michael Douglas should live 100 years more
& Zeta Jones too
What a great actor and person, and what a wonderful sense of humour. I love tha man.
I love that man, too!
Condolences on your father. Best father/son team in Hollywood!
I agree with you ! He really does talk like a president, he has the attitude. But I do have to say The American President is my favorite movie with him :)
Same here!!
Michael Douglas will always have a special place in my heart. Fine gentlemen, fine actor, and alas, my fatal attraction. To Michael...the one who got away! ☺️🤓😜🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
The War of the Roses; Traffic; A perfect murder; Fatal attraction; Falling Down; Wall street; Basic Instinct; Coma; The game; The Ghost and the Darkness; Romancing the Stone.; The Jewel of the Nile; Black Rain; The Star Chamber.......these are some of the very good performances by Michael Douglas. He isn't Nicholson or Deniro but anyhow he is a good actor and he deserves his success.
dldee912 that’s what I always thought he’s a good actor but his dad etc are way way way better actors
Amen. He doesn't have to be Deniro or Nicholson or even Pacino. Michael Douglas has been in the game before them or longer. He came out of the shadow of his father do not forget the Streets of San Francisco with his mentor the great Karl Malden.
..and "Discolusre" 94' movie with Demi Moore .the photos backstage studio of Douglas with the epic so happines smiling then was so great feeling memories masterpiece of photography art !!
@@richardbullis6263 You must have read my mind as i was going to say more or less the same thing.

LEGENDARY THRILLER MASTER!!!!HES PROBABLY BEST ONE.
Michael Douglas is a legend
Big Jack, Michael, both are just amazing actors. in the top 10.
Awesome speech, the right amount of comedy, heart felt memories and emotions. He almost cracked up thanking his wife and family. A truly great actor, who I am glad is still with us. Team up with other greats again Michael we need ur movies again. Congratulations.

I'm a huge movie fan. I've seen all of the best actors and actresses over a period of at least fifty years. This man, Michael Douglas, is in my opinion the best screen actor I've ever seen!!! Much love and respect from South Africa.
great actor, great speech, great attitude.
Michael and Annette. Great actors. Kirk Douglas such a legend. By the way. Long overdue congrats Michael for your AFI award :-)
This is a memorable and comprehensive speech by Michael Douglas on receiving AFI award. 💒💞✨🌟💐
Wonderful, beautiful, gracious, humble, and funny.
He does!!!! He is one of those rare "agless" stars. Just like his dad. Michael looks 30 years younger than he really is. and yes he is STILL mega hot!!!! He's got gorgeous skin. And a gorgeous face.
One of the greatest
Wow...what a speach. This was really amazing! What a guy. I love(d) "The Streets of San Francisco" one of the best shows! And so it brought me to tears that he mentioned Karl as his mentor. Michael is so naturell and kind, calm and so much more. He made it out of the shadow of the big name of his father and so he made his own way to be a great and very talented man / actor. Thanks for this upload.
The Streets of San Francisco ! ! ! Absolutely his best and longest work.
always liked his films he's got kind of a cool presents about him
Presence
So I happened to be in Cannes during the film festival. The year? 1976. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" just came out. His Super Break. Walking hurriedly down the street in a tux was Michael. Just fun to see him. Of course at that point it was "Streets of SF" that I knew him from!
Eighteen years after his father got the same award - time flies! I Everyone looks so young!
I love that actor,my favorite movies are Fatal Atraction, Basic Instingt,A perfect morder,Wall Street,I´ve seen them again and again,a thousand times.He is so handsome man with great personality,and for me one of the greatest actors.Happy Birthday dear Michael and greetings from Germany!
Anna kowalska I think Kirk is still a way better actor but Michael is by no means a bad actor
Murder
Jack and Michael are bests ♥♥
He is very humble, nice and great actor always
Amazing acceptance speech........ he is an ICON....... 🤘🤘
Funny, attractive, smart, talented. Congrats on the award!
Amazing actor and class personified.

Please stay safe❤️❤.
For quite some time, I didn't know how much Jack cared for Michael, given the fact that the former starred in a movie the latter produced, which subsequently won them their first Oscars, but now I see jack's glee for Michael's honour which, in its own right is satisfying to watch.
What an incredible speech, bravo
He's an outstanding public speaker.
I Love you , Michael!😙
Talented actor!!! I just love the way he walks, talk about real swag!!!
A great actor! :)
Michael Douglas is one of the best artists in the world

Love his extemporaneous speech. A brilliant actor of all time. Love you Sir Michael.
Great speech by a great actor:). Loved you in "American President" (among others:).
He seems to be such a nice guy, down to earth, funny too.
That introduction was amazing by nicholson!

I love his speech, so full of meaning, and appreciation for everyone who contributed to his success. I especially like the fact that he thanked and acknowledged every one who paid tribute to him. God bless him, i hope he s well and cancer free now.

todas las veces que enfocaron a Catherine, se le nota una admiración por su marido increíble
That's right!!! Michael deserves it!!!! amazing actor!! and he's aged flawlessly. Amazing what good aging genes does!
I love him
What a lovely speech! Michael totally owned the stage with a great show of empathy, humor, confidence, calmness, articulation and storytelling!
Michael Douglas Sjajan Glumac i Čovjek, Legenda! Živio 100.god!☀️🌟🌞🖐
Incredible that his screen legend Dad was still alive to see this
You guys can go and watch Mr. Kirk Douglas accepting his award in 1991 and tell me the difference … just stunning ..
In my opinion his greatest film is "Wonder Boys." One of the last truly great films to come from Hollywood.
What a voice
great actor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kirk put him in the acting/producing business but is real mentor of acting was the late Karl Malden, Michael almost started crying when he thanked him in his speech. Kirk Douglas was a good actor during his golden years, but was more a movie star, Karl Malden was one of the most underrated actors ever, he was in the same league as Brando, Clift or Newman.
aww😍
Someday i want to be loved by everyone like mr Douglas is.
And Jack Nicholson should be in every AFI award ever!
terrific speech
mickael douglas un immense acteur tout comme son papa kirl douglas
This guy speaks like a real champion, neat and fantastic actor, respect for that; by a second I thought it was a sequence of Wall Street film(1987).....
Amazing speech
2020 Michael Douglas King of the Silver Screen
Şahane , bu ödül törenlerinde en hoşuma giden kıskançlıkla , imrenmeyle ya da aşırı hayranlıkla bakılmaması , saygı sevgi karışık empati duyguları ile bakılması ne güzel
What a man what speech what a carrer
