[@docdave15]

Oh, John Candy... we miss you so much.

[@zekecasperanddeadpoolzgroovyst]

docdave15 I'll always remember you as the Wacky Radio Presenter in Little Shop of Horrors and Barf the Mwag in Spaceballs!!

[@zekecasperanddeadpoolzgroovyst]

[@mattm3729]

John Candy deserved an oscar for his performance in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles... I don't recall every being so emotional at such a scene as the final one.

[@chucktaylor4849]

Not only that but also for great out doors. Summer rental

[@angelperezprado5392]

Uncle Buck Also!

[@Bringos76]

and Splash!

[@markelijio6012]

In the words of Grammy winner Naomi Judd was saying, "Who Cares?"

[@bradlafferty6076]

Really?

[@allys744]

I love when he takes breaks from the letter to adorably address his daughter 🥰 RIP this wonderful man

[@Sandlot1992]

R.I.P. John Candy

[@stuhh]

"And last, but not least, I'd like to thank all of the great makeup artists, past and present, especially Dick Smith, for inspiring me to work hard to try and become one of them." 🤗

[@jasonkyleadams7577]

I wish John Candy was still with us and Rick Baker was still doing makeup.

[@jerramaurice7836]

John Candy was so sweet & cute RIP

[@Wired4Life2]

To speak on what John Candy said...Planes, Trains, and Automobiles was good enough to get a Screenplay nom.

[@markelijio6012]

More love. Less time.

[@mattbaldwin]

Missing John Candy... I hope to meet and fly with him one day.

Rick Baker, winner of 7 out of 11 Best Make-Up Oscars since 1984.

[@markelijio6012]

No, that's not true. Rick Baker won seven makeup Oscars since 1982.

[@AngelofMusic04]

Two nominees that year. And no love whatsoever here for movies like "RoboCop", "Hellraiser" and "Predator", which ushered in three of the most iconic figures of cinema in the 1980s.

[@martykeaton182]

Will C Nice to know They weren’t completely ignored. Here’s other awards that nominated Hellraiser. www.imdb.com/title/tt0093177/awards?ref_=tt_ql_op_1

[@markelijio6012]

Predator was nominated for an Oscar for best visual effects. But Hellraiser didn't get any love either so the way it goes.

[@yvonnevincens2066]

I was just a kid watching John Candy with my parents, but I miss him too. I let my boys watch some of the movies Candy was in, like Spaceballs and they love it. Rip

[@PetersPianoShoppe]

All right... there's Rick Baker's makeup fx on Harry & The Hendersons, which deserves the Oscar..... and then there's Rick Baker's astounding feathered do, which deserves an award category all its own.

[@jwelch5742]

Harry and the Hendersons has great makeup.

[@jeffreyross71]

Growing up when i was a kid john candy was my favorite actor

[@PJVids83]

This award was between old man makeup and a big foot. I think it was a no-brainer.

[@Beastmac]

The makeup was so good that my friends family actually thought it was a documentary. They would later go on to brainstorm one of the greatest inventions of all time.

[@BNatoAk]

Rick Baker is the best motion picture makeup artist of ALL TIME!

[@PJVids83]

Predator at least deserved to be recognized for makeup.

[@bradlafferty6076]

Remember, no political statements, just entertainers

[@chucktaylor4849]

Best comedian actor EVER

[@sumoclift]

Rick Baker is awesome

[@bradlafferty6076]

A young Chevy Chase

[@stevieboy7873]

My child hood best uncle. Uncle buck we miss you.

[@miltonlopesdasilva]

rip John candy

[@hartonoX69]

I don't know this man or forget... Look how seriously him...

[@emiliobello2538]

It won

[@markviniello4413]

RIP Alan Daviau

[@supermariofan03]

Hellraiser should have been third. The makeup in that movie is unbelievably crazy, especially when in each scene Frank’s body is slowly being put back together.

[@PJVids83]

The Academy didn't generally take kindly to films of a gruesome variety.

[@supermariofan03]

@@PJVids83 Sad really.

[@hunterolaughlin]

And Spaceballs would be fourth?

[@markelijio6012]

@@hunterolaughlin Spaceballs doesn't have any love at all.

[@jeshkam]

I miss John terribly...😢😢

[@brothersrevenge532]

Ahh the day's when the Oscars had class actors, who weren't virtue signaling at every given moment!😂😂😂😂

[@dfcj1499]

If Planes, Trains and Automobiles didn't win best picture, what in hell did?

[@NeoConnor1]

The Last Emperor

[@martykeaton182]

1:11 - :16 What’s with this?

[@chucktaylor4849]

He should won reward for great out doors and summer rental. And uncle buck and cool.runnings and home alone and national lampoons vacation and spaceballs

[@markelijio6012]

He deserves it!

[@markelijio6012]

Well that’s what you are isn’t it? Everything’s always been a damn joke to you, what’s your problem? Your problems are stinking comments that you wrote about this and that which they’re bunch of garbage and I won’t have any of them anymore in this community. I’m sorry but I’m sick and tired of hearing about this and that which is not unnecessary as well as many comments were very cruel, nasty and disgusting. We won’t have that in our community.

[@christianmanansala8817]

Time to expand the nominees for Makeup/Hairstyling to five since you know, a good chunk of movies require the craft. Only two nominees that year?? Egad.

[@luvahadowsdolls]

Christian Manansala The only issue is that even though makeup is still being used, it's becoming bypassed by the use of CGI.

[@christianmanansala8817]

luvahadowsdolls True that. Though there are still smaller films that go traditional

[@markelijio6012]

Agree with you and nothing else

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

Wow.... good thing Baker stuck with the beard.

[@markelijio6012]

But he has surely changed a lot since Fall 1984. Married to Silvia Baker and have great children. God bless him.

[@Darknight8200]

2:00

[@Wesleech]

Baker basically made this award be a thing due to American Wereworlf in London. But, its cool he stays humble. I woudn't.

[@leafyutube]

Toronto boy. Woo-hoo!

[@SixDemonBagg]

Wasn’t even nominated for best actor for Planes, Trains. Should of been and should of won!!

[@markelijio6012]

I don’t agree with you because John Candy was just the presenter for the nominees for best achievement in makeup in 1988. And that’s all he’s here to do and nothing else. I’m sorry but I’m just being honest with you that’s all. Oh by the way just save your breath for old time’s sake, okay?
