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

[@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.

[@ifeelpretty5790]

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

[@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!

[@jamesmain_email6969]

Peter Fonda reaction to his old friend winning was actually genuine. Sign he was a lovely man. Great film great script director acting . Watchable even today it shines.

[@alexiachimciuc3199]

Isn't he the same man who wanted to see Trump's youngest son raped by a gang?

[@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?

[@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.

[@kennyhayesmusic7499]

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

[@Pippa-pw3qw]

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

[@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.

[@Hooozyer]

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

[@svfox]

Jack is incredible.

[@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

[@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.

[@WillChil466]

​@@EgbertWilliams.Right on.

[@angharad588]

GO JACK!!! YOU'RE THE BEST!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

[@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.

[@mf5202]

That was a LOADED field.

[@MonalisaCerrutti]

Jack is a force of nature!

[@smailmix147]

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

[@dath2010]

SmailMix 😱😱😱😱

[@funnygirlinstumptown]

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

[@90AlexF]

They were good friends

[@paultruesdale7680]

This acceptance speech will have you grinning from ear to ear

[@scifinerd17]

Frances McDormand looks so beautiful here

[@fleetwood7538]

Blood orange velvet with that black lace 😍

[@chrisklayo9562]

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

[@nensi1972]

...R.Duvall was great in Apostle , ...Big Oscar goes to him...❤❤❤

[@lindsaygarcia5212]

Good Lord that had to have been one of the most incredible Oscar's ceremonies of all time. I've been a Cinephile since I was about 12 officially and I'm 40 now. Had I been born just a few years earlier I would have experienced so much awesomeness not only cinema wise but musically as well. However I'm pretty sure I got the last truly great decade so I'll take what I can get!

[@TheToltec]

This was an outstanding year for movies

[@AmandaChupaChups]

gotta love Jack Nicholson !

[@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.

[@mike856ms]

Robert Duvall was amazing.

[@TB-53]

I have always loved Jack Nicholson. Always.

[@aliceflanagan3672]

Jack really liked this movie. So glad he won.

[@ericshackelford872]

Absolute greatness...Won't see another like him

[@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!

[@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!

[@WillChil466]

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

[@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

[@Greenwillow]

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

[@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…:):):)

[@stevendefeo8424]

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

[@cynthiasmith4130]

Jack deserve's everything he get's!!! He is a wonderful actor!!!! Love him in everything he does!! 👍👍♥️♥️😁😁😁😁🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹........

[@RobertPagano226]

Love the clips, thank you, what a quintet of brilliant performances.

[@henryrodgers1752]

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

[@hanscombe72]

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

[@philosopher1a]

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

[@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 😢

[@yvonnepeters1914]

@@Lspacehopper hmm

[@fatima1009]

Loved Robert Duvall in the Apostle

[@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

[@quixotica726]

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

[@marythomson9610]

JACK!!!!!! Awesome actor!

[@R__K]

Jack & Robin... 2 deserving Oscars.

[@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)

[@ignaciogodoy7095]

Remembering JT Walsh, that is class and a good friend

[@bernaldelcastillo1768]

Jack is my No1 actor

[@JasonBBell]

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

[@carolinagutierrez9865]

The cool man alive!

[@dianecook7064]

Love this film watched it many times but Mr Nicholson that sweet little dog was the real star 🐶💖

[@carolpelletier7631]

Verdel!!!❤

[@jcmat9917]

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

[@asteverino8569]

Thank you Jack

[@henoknegash6041]

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

[@pash7033]

As COOL as it gets.

[@janethu9169]

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

[@nancydavis4618]

Jack is my favorite actor😘👍🎉

[@carolelinda6476]

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

[@diannadahlke7548]

Love that movie

[@1miltond]

The last giant of Hollywood the real artist

[@ModernElectricRecordings-bl6bs]

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

[@victordasilva5255]

Back when Hollywood had class

[@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. 😊

[@bubblefish76]

The way he ignored Hellen Hunt when standing up

[@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.

[@user-fv6rt5lq4k]

Magic..lucky to see his career on Big Screens..

[@robertbongard1325]

Classy speech!

[@carolbrisendine7163]

U r the BEST Jack, one of a kind. Love u.

[@mingingwu2727]

l love this movie

[@karenmiller1726]

Well deserved ❤❤

[@mrsheatherteske]

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

[@robnewman6101]

Jack Nicholson has Retired.

[@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".

[@WillChil466]

It seems he dislikes her.

[@user-um3ij5cn6x]

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

[@keithmoon8838]

Probably because Holly wasn't there...

[@saratreat2219]

Peter Fonda ❤️

[@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]

💯 👏👏

[@greenwave819]

well deserved

[@twistoffate4791]

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

[@preciousjey]

I love Frances she looks high.

[@annieknight1255]

No one like Jack Nicholson, complete legend 😊

[@faithmapstone9982]

A Very good 🎬 actor⭐️

[@JennasMusic76]

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

[@GetALifeMiley]

I think everyone knew Jack was going to win that year.

[@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.

[@warren218]

Everyone loves Big Jack

[@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.

[@AyeWitness]

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.

[@WillChil466]

Matt is so stiff. He seems uncomfortable on cam.

[@jetv1471]

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

[@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.

[@KnockOffBeingFat]

DAMN GOOD MOVIE! DAMN GOOD ACTING BY ALL.

[@cicerodiello1]

Jack is a gentleman. ❤

[@robnewman6101]

Jack Nicholson as The Joker. 1989.

[@kiillabytez]

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

[@Cruisentom]

Matt Damon b like: here he goes again

[@peterdixon3612]

jack will allways be back in my book
