[@latoyadlee]

people just don't understand how this moment change history and what door she open. That's why she was so emotional.

[@aysezolru]

Can you please explain

[@riffraff521]

Over 17 black folk have won an acting Oscar. She is the only one to literally have a nervous breakdown on stage. I found it painful to watch. She coo coo..

[@kelia93]

What’s beautiful about this clip that I’m now realizing years later after rewatching a million times…is she’s pointing to Denzel Washington. Denzel also took home Best Male Actor that night; first time in history that two Black Actors won in their respective leading category. It’s almost as if they were the only two in the room… acknowledging the historical moment, sacrifices, and struggles they’ve endured to get there. And for a moment they weep.

[@Shubhamarion]

Finally, comments are on. So proud of Halle, waiting to see her next nomination ❤

[@halid4740]

She was very emotional !

[@shottabwoi3985]

Such a HISTORICAL MOMENT! I still tear up watching and remembering this night! 🙏🏾💜

[@margaretburton8592]

Everytime I watch this I cry

[@anamariaaninha]

Nicole's reaction to Halle's emotion is beautiful

[@sierraxx9979]

Yes it was !!!

[@Johnmag1976]

I go back to this scene on a regular basis .It is beautiful.

[@user-pf9dh5cy8v]

I was Soooooo rooting for her, and was so happy she won

[@traceykeegan4203]

Russell Crowe, what a gentleman....he saw her being overwhelmed and took her in his arms and you could feel him giving her words of encouragement and support I promise you that's what he said....love that

[@aquamirin3825]

This must have been the best feeling

[@fabboydan]

Her speech is just the best! History making legend

[@rivkajazz]

I ALWAYS cry when I watch this...😢❤

[@firefighter343]

She deserve this win. That movie made me cry and so many ways. It was a brilliant performance all around and let's just be honest, who doesn't love Halle Berry?

[@crispyorsmthnidk5314]

I think people at the time read this as just her being emotional and not her feeling the weight of this moment. A door was opened but we’re still waiting for someone to walk through it.

[@psycoticcinnomonbun1804]

Who’s here bc of the Cleveland show?

[@chiblackjesus]

2:53 he wanted to cry so bad😂

[@KalinaKunt]

He was cheating on her during this time too!!! I bet his ass wanted to cry 😂

[@chiblackjesus]

@@KalinaKunt he was so wrong for that😂

[@Pelambreification]

the dress and that hair 🔥🔥

[@janellerollins5893]

The Best!

[@4884nat]

So much fun was made of her for this reaction and that says it all. No one would truly understand what this huge occasion and award meant for her and for history, that is a huge thing to take in.

[@KalinaKunt]

I didn’t know people made fun of this when Eric Bennett was cheating on her at the time so this award was shocking to her while she was going through a big heartbreak

[@sweetcakes1509]

I remember this moment. It means so much now. Especially her speech. Love her❤

[@shihlin1]

Even tho ppl were predicting Halle would win, she didn't give herself much of a chance. Sissy Spacek had won all the precursor awards until SAG award when Halle pulled out a win. And Nicole was coming on strong during the last week or two of Oscar voting according to anonymous Academy voters. Halle is nothing but Pure Raw Emotions here but she composes herself to tick off important ppl in her speech. Look how Nicole and Renee are visibly moved by Halle's raw emotions. In a way many moviegoers are still waiting for Halle to find another project as strong as Monsters Ball cuz it just hasn't happened

[@williamgreene7870]

Halle you have me in tears lve you Halle berry

[@honeydew948]

I feel that this is the most real reaction when someone wons an award.😢😢😢

[@hnrbdrh]

I saw this live back in the day and had no idea of the significance for being too little, but watching it now, isn’t it amazing the she won in a nominated group of Unitedstatian, British and Australian white women? Wow.

[@icyclitten7894]

They opened and closed the door that same night 😂

[@paulrobins7093]

Until last year when Michelle Yeoh kicked the door off it's hinges.

[@darrinthornton2409]

Nope still one door each

[@PoliticalPolly1]

Why are you laughing? And also 10 black women have won the oscar....

[@annettenoble-nr5lk]

@@PoliticalPolly1 The door Halle Berry is talking about is winning the Oscar for Best Actress. She is the ONLY black woman to have won an Oscar for Best Actress. Those other ten women won an Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. The door does seem to be closed again. 😕

If I ever need a good cry, I watch Halle Berry winning at the Oscars. She is so overcome with disbelief and joy, she doesn’t know what to do! She was so overwhelmed by the moment, her whole body was trembling…. My favorite Oscar moment of all time! ❤️🫵🏽

[@franciscoguerrero4564]

Thank god Sidney Poitier was alive to see this moment by himself.

[@augustokist4207]

Such an iconic moment

[@antonboludo8886]

I am so glad she won.

[@bennowrey21]

0:08 Here comes the music called; “Broken Up and Blue” by Red Meat.

[@shihlin1]

I always knew Halle was capable of giving a great performance if given the right material and opportunity. I saw her in this lil seen movie called "Losing Isaiah" in 1995? acting alongside Jessica Lange, and Lange is no slouch in the acting dept, but Halle holds her own in every scene that really blew my mind she was capable of pulling off a performance like that. Fortunately Monsters Ball gave her another chance to be seen and heard by everyone and she took it

[@jaradaniels9289]

Losing Isaiah brings me to tears every single time. Fabulous performances from all cast including Isaiah.

[@shihlin1]

@@jaradaniels9289That really was a much better movie than expected. People hated the ending, but it was a realistic ending as both sides need time to figure out a solution

Congrats to Halle for this, a huge achievement but, this clip cracks me up so much, the announcer had me rolling around in tears ''Enemy- ENEMY- ANY- EEMMMYYYY-Award winning performance...'' Is it really that hard to pronounce? LOL

[@NeverAshcroft]

probably the longest speech ever seen at the oscars, but shes such a cutie and ... ah, makes my heart cry... so happy for her!
