Joe Pesci Oscar's Press Room Speech (1991)

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

That audience is so annoying. Joe Pesci shows a great deal of toughness and emotional intelligence in his answers to these questions.

[@StellaAdler_]

And to think these people are professional journalists is mind boggling.

[@SuperDurv]

Pesci is so soft spoken.

[@Spoolingturbski]

What a class act. A tough man has nothing to prove.

[@doncicci9608]

Pesci is so humble. Those idiots in the press are completely the opposite. He answered these questions with integrity, dignity and honor.

[@ADaughterOfChrist]

Yup. He was so humble & dignified here. The press were ruthless & terrible...like trying to rile him up during this nice night for him. He's a class act. 💫

[@brettzimmerman4566]

This was the role of his life! One of my favorite movies, he's so talented.

[@asht6106]

The way he talks, a warm hearted man..a very nice guy in real life...thank u, I enjoy part of your life

[@claudiocorleone7856]

You have to believe he didn’t expect to win. Look at the competition any one could have won. However I am glad joe won well deserved!

[@THEOne-zx3fe]

He was phenomenal in Home Alone.

[@slammerjaxlive]

Classy guy, under appreciated in my opinion.

[@montibeats]

just one word for this man HERO

[@WinslowLeach1974]

6:13 Host to Pesci: "Exit to your right" Pesci exists to his left 😂

[@wiseguyjimmy4812]

I love you Joe

[@bonniepreston5445]

Joe Pesci, like many actors, is shy. That’s part of the reason they choose to act.

[@dkelly26666]

Yes, Joe and De Niro are both very shy guys of few words in real life. Ray seemed a bit shy and awkward, too. All these guys in this movie are quite introverted in real life, then they're playing these boisterous mobsters. It's all... well... acting.

[@Brownskidmarksonmyunderwear]

I enjoy holding in my fecal matter for a prolonged period of time

[@stephenmccollum1391]

He cradles that Oscar

[@TheTrashStash]

"no fuckin way!" 😂😂

[@Jose.Ramos.BourgogneVE]

Waou... i was waiting for that speech ! Thank you very much !

[@terrycraig6386]

He has the hairstyle he had in " my Cousin Vinny " .He was filming this at same time as Oscars.March 1991.😊

[@jenniferlewis1437]

Really good interview

[@m.e.d.7997]

So good in the movie!! Well deserved.

[@perfectchild8073]

Amazing

[@m.e.d.7997]

He maybe did not like to speak in public or had some social anxiety.

[@ADaughterOfChrist]

Such a class act here. He handled the press so well. 💫

[@kirkwatson1442]

Humble...like brando

[@ADaughterOfChrist]

Brando was always great handling the press. Pesci did a great job here as well, dealing with them. 💫

[@marcusbetancourt3760]

Home Alone's so-called "violence" was like that of "The Three Stooges". And was very, very cool. Good Fellas was a picture about the behavior of some particular people in that era in time. Just like if you were to watch Carroll O'Connor in "All in the Family" and then watching Carroll 'O Connor protraiting a police chief in "In the Heat of the Night" and a General in "Kelly's Heroes ". Clint Eastwood in his Western M.ovies he was in, his Detective M.ovies and his Comical Movies lie in "Every which way you can" and so forth and so on. Check out Mr. Joe Pesci in "My Cousin Vinnie" with Marisa Tomei. Was je tough? In a good way as much as he was very funny and intelligent. Did Fred Gwynne who played the part of Herman Munster in ",The Munsters" act the same when he played the part of a very strict and no bs kind of judge in "My Cousin Vinny" or even Marisa Tomei when she played the part in "Untamed Heart"? No way! These are and were extremely very good professional actresses and actors pretending to act and be a certain way. And are very good and versatile. Thank God for all of them and many, many more and the directors, the producers and the creators of each. And most of all thank God who made all of this possible. Good Evening. Adios.

[@uncleleo1873]

Love this man.

[@jib1823]

Holy shit. He is so fucking humble and very soft, well spoken, wow. My respect just shot up. Edit: "No fucking way!" You can't get any cooler than this man.

[@Queen76543]

The press is always looking for something

[@elenaeffe5378]

One of my Favourite ❤ A Very Good and Fine Person and Actor. 😍😍😍 Love from Italy ❤😊

[@NoName-jq7tj]

“He killed in his own element”. I found the rationalising of Tommy fascinating.

[@CharlieLopez-nu7je]

Unbelievable but true 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@heyitsjaceypenne]

5:05 😂😂😂😂

[@tonyp9313]

Damn haha. Who the hell thinks Home Alone is violent? It's a movie for kids.

[@RemoGutierrez1]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Anela0709]

was that Bill Maher asking him that question? 0:23

[@Film21Productions]

No that’s Gene Siskel

[@gorganhorn6872]

This was when Bill was a young staff reporter for the new show Access Hollywood.

[@Nothing-qq4hd]

Solid

[@StellaAdler_]

And these people studied journalism??😳

[@thegregariousrecluse]

Don't be raisin' youse eye-brows at me, else I'lls comes down dere and make linguiiny out of youse.

[@georgedavis2130]

He's lying he was pissed off because they refused to show clips of good fellowers . The oscar are hypocrite s

[@mariahkemp969]

Exactly. They tried to clown him by showing home alone clip. and then also putting in the subtitles of dances with wolves to diss him in the clip before

[@FunboyMacphallush]

@@mariahkemp969 I watched both clips and have to come to the conclusion that they really, really did not want him to win. And then to top all of that off, some idiot questioned him about being tough.

[@Brownskidmarksonmyunderwear]

They did not. The clip you saw was edited. In the real clip of the Oscars they showed Good Fellas

[@jaschowdhari3463]

Back when oscars were simple . Now its outrageously cheap and unfunny !

[@Constantine_IA]

Tommy DeVito is one of the greatest performances ever
