Jack Nicholson is a legend. Love him. And Billy Crystal the best Oscar host ever. Nobody has even come close to his performances as host. Those were the days

[@robertacolarette1594]

There is NOBODY like Jack Nicholson. He’s a delight to watch whether on film or as himself. I have to smile every time he speaks.

[@singerrb4984]

me too

[@adamatherton8562]

Jack Nicholson is one of the few who can be called 'legend'

[@kevinoconnor4102]

Fonda, Duvall and Hoffman are all legends. Intact Fonda gave Nicholson his big break in Easy Rider.

[@JJTheRipper]

​@@kevinoconnor4102Right. But Nicholson is de King of Legends.

[@ifeelpretty5790]

Still the coolest guy in the room! Miss seeing Jack on the big screen, hope he shows up again soon.

[@Hooozyer]

Matt Damon, Robert Duvall, Jack Nicholson Dustin Hoffman, Peter Fonda. wow

[@gustavohorn2194]

Fun fact: both times Nicholson won Best Actor, his co-lead won Best Actress for the same film - Louise Fletcher in One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and Helen Hunt in As Good as it Gets.

[@CYP0]

Gustavo Horn also his supporting actor win for Terms of Endearment (another Jim Brookes film) for which Shirley MacClaine also won best leading actress.

He's the best and helps get the best out of whoever works with him

[@ivanbrocko]

Fun fact..... he never mentioned Milos Forman in his speech , when he won first best actor. Not good.

[@keythdanielsen5533]

Interesting fact.

[@Facetimer864]

Did he mention Helen Hunt?

[@morgaffi]

Jack could read the back of a cereal box and have everyone's full attention

[@adrianaandrei7541]

The same for Morgan Freeman

[@cristinabumbac151]

And he did it even with his speech!

[@Pippa-pw3qw]

Jack is a National Treasure ❤ We can never get enough of him 🎯

[@kennyhayesmusic7499]

Best Actor: Jack Nicholson Best Actress: Helen Hunt Best Supporting Actor: Robin Williams Best Supporting Actress: Kim Basinger ...what a year for acting. 🥰

[@Fee212]

Greg Kinnear should have won Best Supporting Actor. 😮

[@christinewhite661]

Thank you Jack Nicholson for "As good as it gets".

[@julietrask7497]

You know he beats up women right? Don’t hero worship this loser.

[@mk4881]

He could have given Helen Hunt a hug or a look as well!

[@windsorkid7069]

She got warm rolls later.

[@justafoodie3575]

It looked like she was indeed expecting a hug!

[@LTDANMAN44]

an actor was so excited to be in a movie with captain jack and was thanking him profusely. Jack stared him down raised his sunglasses and proclaimed, "I don't make movies, I make classics."

[@wpgems]

Jack Nicholson is classic!

[@franceskajacobs2766]

One of the greatest we love u Jack God bless u

[@funnygirlinstumptown]

God love Nicholson for mentioning JT Walsh--one of the greatest character actors of all time ✌🏼

[@90AlexF]

They were good friends

[@kathyd2595]

Oh to have actors and films of this caliber on the screen and at the Oscars again! I miss that feeling of watching greatness.

[@nicholaswideman6658]

He doesn't make a bad movie. He is one of the greatest actors in cinema. I liked as good as it gets and the witches of Eastwick performances the most but all were great.

[@smailmix147]

Rest in peace, Peter Fonda... 1940-2019

[@dath2010]

SmailMix 😱😱😱😱

[@chrisklayo9562]

Those were all really good actors and movies wish they made more like that today

[@bobbydeerfield1948]

What a performance by Jack Nicholson. Helen Hunt was amazing as well. Just a great film all around. Jim Brooks figured out a way to make a film about mental illness a very serious subject I say from experience enjoyable with tears and laughs great performances and wonderful music. And Jack again stole so many scenes!!! Thank you!

[@TB-53]

I have always loved Jack Nicholson. Always.

[@oncall21]

Life long Jack fan here and so glad he notched up this one. But I soooooooooo loved Bobby Duvall in 'The Apostle.' Great film, great performance!

[@EgbertWilliams]

There are few that are in his league, but Duvall and Gene Hackman are on that same starting team.

[@Mmm...yummymummy]

​@@EgbertWilliams.Right on.

[@alexandrel.9083]

Love Jack Nicholson but Duvall deserves it this year. His performance in the Apostle was revelatory

[@oncall21]

@@alexandrel.9083 yes The Apostle was very underrated. Incredible performance.

[@philosopher1a]

All praise and thanks and no politics the way it should be

[@5andup]

1. Duvall - transformative performance; 1997 critics' fave for Best Leading Actor 2. Fonda - echoes of father Henry; understated yet great 3. Hoffman - committed performance 4. Nicholson - can do this in his sleep; the role is interesting though 5. Damon - discovery of 1997 Hollywood film year despite having been acting for several years (including 1996's Courage Under Fire)

[@scifinerd17]

Frances McDormand looks so beautiful here

Robert Duvall was amazing.

[@maximogomez6174]

“As good as it gets” is the perfect case story description of obsessive compulsive disorder and it turns out that real really can be the perfect reference for making scripts…:):):)

[@alvaropelayo8084]

Three times Oscar winner Jack Nicholson dedicated his winning to Robert Mitchum, and the Academy never gave Mitchum an honorary Oscar, and didn't gave him an award for The Night of the Hunter in 1955. Shame on the Academy!

[@Mmm...yummymummy]

I loved him. River of ❤no Return. Magical movie. second only to *Bus Stop for Marylin.

I’m not a Jack Nicholson fan. But I love As Good as its gets.😉

[@stevendefeo8424]

This was when the Oscar’s was good. Billy Crystal was always the host

[@ignaciogodoy7095]

Remembering JT Walsh, that is class and a good friend

[@yvonnepeters1914]

Love Jack Nicholson. I wish he'd do more movies. But all these actors are great.

[@writerconsidered]

Jack is unofficially retired.

[@yvonnepeters1914]

@@writerconsidered So we never know then huh?

[@Lspacehopper]

I believe he has dementia, so you're unlikely to ever see him in another movie 😢

[@antoniobrooks1113]

Jesus Christ when you remember the entire Fonda family ate literal acting Titans, my god watching Peter’s small clip made me realize I forgot just how great he was

That was a LOADED field.

Matt, Ben: I still want to see some ID. - Robin Williams.

[@susanl.fensore1314]

Jack Nicholson is amazing. And I really enjoyed the way he didn’t step on any of the lines in the floor when he went up on stage. I wonder how many people understood.

[@patrickambrose5372]

Jack was at a party in Hollywood one night and a woman asked "Would you like to dance Jack?" Jack said "Wrong verb honey!" and they weren't seen for the rest of the evening. 😊

[@JasonBBell]

Murderers' Row. And Matt Damon. No disrespect, they got Screenplay and Robin's first Oscar. But man. Duvall, Fonda, Dustin, Jack.

[@fatima1009]

Loved Robert Duvall in the Apostle

[@bernaldelcastillo1768]

Jack is my No1 actor

[@quixotica726]

I miss him so much in films, it's crazy.

[@loisraymcinnis6006]

A MUST SEE IS: AS GOOD AS IT GETS.

[@vigulfmusicproduct]

Jack should give a hug to Helen..

[@kidsundance9021]

Yeah I was thinking the same. The bastard doesn't even touch her hand

[@MichaelSTaylor]

​@@kidsundance9021and he left a gaseous reminder of the kielbasa they were serving in the lobby, what a bastard!

[@wolfwind1]

You’re correct. He does turn and exchange a private direct pointed look with her. Clearly she was happy for him. He might not have seen her reaching out before his turn to her. Regardless, she had just won and I’m surprised he wasn’t more warm with her, his film partner, in the moment.

[@susansheppard9614]

He totally snubbed her

[@henryrodgers1752]

“Five Easy Pieces” is my favorite Jack Nicholson role.

[@janethu9169]

Matt Damon. Good Well Hunting. Robert Duvall. Peter Fonda. Dustin Huffman. Jack Nicholson. ......

[@AdvancedUSA]

GREAT acceptance speech. Actually talked about the film and the people who helped him get the award. To all the future Academy winners - learn from this. NO POLITICS, no bullshit. Movie and people. Being an actor doesn’t grant you some special insights into politics - it just makes you an actor. Just like a doctor, lawyer, plumber, mechanic....you get what I mean.

[@charlieb1976]

LMFAO

[@juliew9119]

💯 👏👏

[@carolinagutierrez9865]

The cool man alive!

[@敬箕輪]

Why on earth didnt he kiss Hellen Hunter??? Im shocked! He couldnt get the prize without her.

[@keithmoon8838]

Probably because Holly wasn't there...

[@R__K]

Jack & Robin... 2 deserving Oscars.

[@henoknegash6041]

Ohhhhh, so this is what movie stars used to be like.......

[@1miltond]

The last giant of Hollywood the real artist

[@stevemorse108]

I would have voted for Robert Duval for his performance in the apostle which was brilliant but I also thought Nicholson was excellent in as good as it gets.

[@carolelinda6476]

What a fantastic actor. They don’t make them like him anymore.

[@jcmat9917]

What a year!! Dustin Hoffman, Peter Fonda, Robert Duvall and Jack Nicholson, all running in the same category…

[@petermorris9818]

The ONLY oscar speech that no one cared how long it went on for.

[@RC-vv6nr]

...but he didn’t thank Helen Hunt. What’s up with that?

[@sann5146]

He does at 4:12, slips in "cast, Ms. Hunt" and they cue to her. But it is almost subtle and sounded like "Mister Hunt" or "Mist Hunt".

[@Mmm...yummymummy]

It seems he dislikes her.

[@ModernElectricRecordings-bl6bs]

The last TRUE movie star. The likes of which we’ll never see again. Them days be LONG gone.

[@pash7033]

As COOL as it gets.

[@marythomson9610]

JACK!!!!!! Awesome actor!

[@seanisland]

He didn't thank Helen Hunt on his way up to the stage.

[@victordasilva5255]

Back when Hollywood had class

One of my top 5 films😀

[@ElaineDavis-t6d]

Jack is my favorite actor

[@robnewman6101]

Jack Nicholson has Retired.

[@twistoffate4791]

I still feel that Robert Duvall earned and deserved that Oscar for the Apostle. Just my opinion, of course.

[@bubblefish76]

The way he ignored Hellen Hunt when standing up

[@mrsheatherteske]

Majority of those were good movies in my opinion. I can't always say with the list of nominees.

[@JamesPence-o7q]

The way he danced on stage was priceless!

[@asteverino8569]

[@JennasMusic76]

This man is a national treasure, I just adore Jack.

[@EddieLensweiger]

damn he even mentioned Skeet Ulrich, which only has like two scenes in that film, what a man, what a legend

[@bootman26]

I dragged my dad to see Five Easy Pieces because it was rated R and I couldn't get in without him. I worried that it would be porn, but it wasn't. When I was 16 I knew that Jack would be sigfnicant, and I was right.

[@JunebugPresents]

I ❤ As Good As It Gets. It might be one of my favorite romcoms of all time. It's so New York City. Loved it. And it would nice if the Academy Awards can be as magical as it was in these days. Bring back Bill Conti's music (Oscar melodies). Make great movies again. Make Oscsrs Great Again.

[@saratreat2219]

Peter Fonda ❤️

[@genaka1]

At least two masterpieces released in the same year-wow, what a tough choice! Nowadays, it feels like there aren’t any films at the Oscars truly worth watching.

[@brotherbrod]

i would’ve given it to Damon here, he gave a truly powerhouse performance in Good Will Hunting. the california scene is just breathtaking.

[@ThatsTheSpiritGodCast]

Nah. A load of psychology nonsense… as good as it gets beats good hunting by a country mile

[@timothyleon558]

I agree they got it right, but Damon was amazing. Hard to draw these comparisons. Two great movies with powerful acting.

[@Mmm...yummymummy]

Matt is so stiff. He seems uncomfortable on cam.

[@RobertSummerfield-e9q]

Jack Nicholson would fit in the golden age of cinema with the greats

[@kenbrohere]

Robert Duvall should win every time he gets nominated.

[@spb7883]

Listen to the announcer. As if anybody in the audience needed to know that. At the end of the day, the Academy Awards is a tv show. If there’s anything wrong with it, if there’s anything foundational to its failings, it’s this.

[@jetv1471]

Watch that move at least once a year ! That movie is as good as it gets !

[@JoseGomez-ol3jv]

Luxury nominees, tough choice. Congratulations Mr. Nicohoson. Great performanc

[@kiillabytez]

He won against some heavy hitters, but I'd expect no less from this incredible force, named Jack Nicholson.
