Steve Martin Oscars 2003

Genius! The timing, the stars, the jokes, the pauses... Brilliant!

[@ananda3601]

You know what, Jack is the coolest guy in the room.

[@johnsauls2425]

Always Baby!

[@shirleycameron7718]

Agree..like a Don......

[@user-uy2id8be7p]

I saw that video😂

[@Ginger_General]

Well played

[@Major42]

Still THE COOLEST.

[@williambryan3346]

That nod and thumb-up from Dame Julie Andrews. Classic! 😁

[@waldemarlopes2658]

The greatest Oscar opening of all, with the very special participation of the phenomenal Julie Andrews!

[@erock5010]

It's crazy how Steve Martin has looked exactly the same for so many damn years haha it's like he never ages

[@rusemode]

He aged once back in 1968

[@alcahallic4526]

Because he always had white hair

[@geometricart7851]

Yeah the guy has looked perpetually 40 for like 30 years. I'm kidding of course but he has always looked great for his age.

[@gregbaker9857]

He aged all at once, after a single weekend partying with John Belushi in the 70's.......

[@ericglass9450]

I'd hate to imagine a world without Steve Martin.

[@steven2345]

Oh jack, I honestly miss you. You're what Hollywood is missing these days. That's probably the last time the Oscar's have had that much applause

[@granthurlburt4062]

Top notch. Hilarious, on the money on some topics, self-deprecating, and never mean or an insulting jerk. Class.

[@jimklipper6022]

Jack didn’t get upset. Went right with it.

[@whatwouldtarado213]

A pro. The man can handle anything.

@@lorenzomariani503 you're disgusting.

[@CompoundNihilist]

What I love is how Steve Martin tries not to crack up at Nicholson's reaction.

[@davidm9618]

Steve never "cracks up". He always remains a professional, serious comedian.

[@ZartmoBThoughtForms]

Over the years, Steve Martin has always brought it when appearing on any show. One of the funniest comedians ever. Read his book on comedy.

[@juancantin5238]

"If you would like a transcript of this show, simply write down everything we say" Genius lol

[@nocalsteve]

In 2010, he said, “ If you’d like a transcript of this show then you really should get a life.”

[@tashmivyas]

2:55 Julie's reaction 👍😝....love her...got the most claps...everyone just loves her ♥.

[@jogman262]

And she’s still hot.

[@lunemagick2903]

One of the greatest ever.Whew !!! I've been a fan his whole career.

[@pmn029]

Jack is king, happy to see Angelica Houston laughing with her ex!

[@BluJae93]

I love seeing all these stars when they were young and killing the game. Ain't the same anymore

[@jondeaux336]

Only 20 years ago, but it is a lifetime.

[@SeekerSmith]

You said it there. A lifetime.

[@geometricart7851]

Back when The Oscars was still funny and wholesome.

[@DippyHippie]

Don’t watch!

[@neildsouza3085]

Jack Nicholson is so damn handsome even at this age. Oh man!!! His smile and his facial expressions ...Oh boy!!! Proud to be a die hard Nicholson fan!!!

[@christopher2013]

too gay

[@randlemcmurphy]

SO DAMN HOT!

[@Ak-mg7vn]

Nigga u gay

[@gmar7836]

Ummm no he isn’t

[@TosereOjeme]

His glasses and devilish smile

[@dylancosgriffmusic]

Really heartwarming to see everyone just laughing along instead of getting all cocky like at the Golden Globes

[@MHDALJABERI]

If he added jack to the list, this would have been the best oscars ever.

[@10YearOldTom]

Right!

[@Aivottaja]

Would have been too predictable.

[@greyskullcastle9975]

Intelligent with expert delivery. Can't say the same for every host...

[@sebastianwapniarski2077]

I loved how Jack whistled when Polański won Oscar for directing The Pianist. That was the coolest thing ever. He didn't give a damn about public stigma and just cheered for his friend. Beautiful.

[@johngalt1361]

“Simply write down every word we say.” Steve’s world!

[@allys744]

This monologue was way ahead of its time. Case in point “a movie star can be democrat...or skinny.”

[@mysoncrumphaseveryinjury3853]

This 1:48-1:53

[@magnusalexander2965]

Not a particularly clever joke, since Republicans make any b-level film or TV celebrity who smiles in their direction the President. In the last 45 years, all Republican Presidents have either been a film or TV celeb or a Bush, and closet celebrity worship and name recognition is the the right wing's substitute for policy

[@QuantumParticle]

@@magnusalexander2965 your comment doesn't make much sense given how biased against the right Hollywood is.

[@magnusalexander2965]

@@QuantumParticle It does, because I say the right is desperate for affirmation from Hollywood, not vice versa. If you can list a bunch of actors and reality show clowns who've been Democratic Presidents, I'll reconsider my comment

[@QuantumParticle]

@@magnusalexander2965 so your standard for Hollywood shilling for the left is whether there have been Democrat president celebrities? Lmao What matters is the ideologies behind all of it, such as the forcing in black, gay, trans characters into everything. The left ideologies are blatant in Hollywood.

[@logicalatheist1065]

Ernest Borgnine! what a class act

[@John414]

One of the best presenters ever.

[@compusitepuertovallarta4648]

I laugh more in this three minutes than all the Oscars ceremony this year.

[@DippyHippie]

The slap ruined it for me! Brought me back to 1972 when I escaped the man who abused me! Poor Chris had to just stand there….I ran for my life with my 4 children! No home,no $ ,no car… but I was free!

[@paulydee472]

Jack did not get up and slap him! 🤣 ahhh the good ol days! ☺️

[@acapavlovic8524]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@j.c.sallet4870]

Exactly!😂🤣

[@2019freddie]

maybe if Steve had insulted his wife??

[@benwhitney1850]

"Keep Jack's name out your freakin' mouth!" Just thought I'd keep it clean. 😂

[@MrSebboxxx]

Jack N. should get up and kiss him ...

[@jogman262]

One of the funniest guys ever.

[@kadykianus]

In my opinion it was one of the best Oscars opening acts ever. Intelligent, smart and funny. Steve Martin is super profesionalist so timing is perfect, and everything is thoughtful. Look, how he looks at Nicole Kidman :)

[@jogman262]

He should have taken over as host for many years like Billy Crystal.

[@geometricart7851]

I like Steve Martin he's the genuine article. He isn't trying to play smart and funny he is smart and funny.

[@thebicycleman8062]

nah chris rock was the best

[@renenowicki]

The Bicycle Man that was the greatest moment in TV history. Rock, the consummate professional. Pure class.

[@DippyHippie]

& on top of all that my Steve Martin is an agnostic!Good for him!👏👏🏼👏🏽👍💙

[@Harrock]

This just Feels like a complete Different era than today... its only 20 years ago but the people who where in their Prime Back than you just dont see so often anymore ...

[@LibraLee88]

Just Love him and Martin Short especially Martin for me They just Classic Good TV man Classic Stage Performance

[@moimeme6533]

Borgnine topped it all off with tha kiss! 😆👍😘

[@chuckdieselkicksdisks2380]

Ha ha - thanks for posting this oh, Steve Martin is awesome I remember first hearing him when I grew up with his record albums he put out in the 70s

[@jhsdfjhgjh]

Steve Martin was born old.. I just couldn't get a single image or video of him being young..🤣🤣

[@huntergatherer4223]

Steve is a legend

[@celiaullery9157]

That's why I love Jack and yes I agree that his the coolest guy, nothing bothers him.Please bring back Steve Martin to host the Oscar.

[@darthnihilus5282]

Steve Martin may have won the Oscar, but Jack Nicholson won the thumbnail.

[@allanliu7515]

jack nickleson a genius

[@Belfastboi]

Julie Andrew’s reaction 👍🏻

[@arx754]

I remember watching this, and I thought that Steve Martin was hilarious. The next day, critics castigated him. I am obviously not the average person. Thank gawd.

[@fuckamericanidiot]

Are you saying critics are the average person? That makes no sense.

[@willo9372]

Critics very rarely represent the entire communities opinion. Especially when it's negative. Who the hell wouldn't find that monologue funny?

[@PlanetEarth3141]

Critics live in the same realm as bankers, lawyers, insurance agents, Hollywood execs, politicians and rappers. Oh! And used car salesmen.

[@jogman262]

You know you did good when you upset the critics.

[@akaLuptonPittman]

@@PlanetEarth3141 don’t forget Sheriffs, Chiefs, judges, DA’s, and others in the “justice” system 🤣

"There are no losers here tonight, but we're about to change all that."

[@blues-333]

From some AFI Lifetime achievement awards to Oscars back in those days, here I am, introduced to "Steve Martin". I mean, that mostly straight face speaking casual still gets me anyway lol. And, Jack interacts his way, which actually adds the right kind of flavor and there we go, the net laughter ages very well. All in all, ol' cool people. Going for these types of clips is a genuinely entertaining journey I guess?!

[@FrontWing-EndPlate]

Steve Martin....what a legend 💥💥💥

[@Luka2000_]

1:56 "They can be straight" *Shows Harrison Ford* I cracked up

[@helgedell]

He looked prepared though?

[@dkelly26666]

Diane Lane was with Josh Brolin at this time. Legend has it he was outrageously jealous. She was nominated this night for her role in "Unfaithful", which is a film he had not liked her doing. Note how concerned she looks and looks over at him like, OMG, when Steve put her on that list. She was genuinely thinking, "Damn it, Steve, now I will have to deal with this asshole, later." A little over a year after this, he was arrested for domestic assault against her, but she didn't press charges.

[@gmar7836]

No you don’t really know what she was thinking

[@margaritatzaneti2802]

Really? I did not know that. She should have left him and pressed charges the very moment he started becoming violent. No woman must stay in a bad relationship saying that "" he loves me- he won' t do it again- he will change- he promised !"" These bullies never change!!!

[@jogman262]

I don’t know what she was thinking, but she didn’t take it as well as the other ladies, cartoon character or Ernest Borgnine.

[@aarondigby9859]

That's all those creeps do is beat up women and children.
