R.I.P. Milos Forman. The world lost a genius today.

[@dneiss89]

Milos Forman is such a great director.

[@2024TD]

Fellini, Kubrick, Lumet, Altman and Forman... Wow!! And to think that Spielberg wasn't even nominated for Jaws that year just shows how much we've gone astray. Any of these men could have won and I would have been satisfied.

[@rafaelandrade7627]

Amacord is actually from 1973. Weird being nominated that year.

[@poohgaze2338]

@@rafaelandrade7627 Amarcord wasn't released in the US until 1975 and didn't qualify for categories other than foreign language until then.

[@heffleyrodrick4417]

In reality Milos Forman deserves more than all the other candidates.

[@HovaNirvana]

The fourth Oscar-winning director that we’ve lost in the past two years. Cimino, Avildsen, Demme, and now Forman. R.I.P. to all of them.

Diane Keaton around the time she was making Annie Hall. She was so cute!

Fer Abra She is so pretty.

[@theowlreviewerofficial]

I'm not joking when I say this but I actually had a dream about her a few months ago. I was walking in Paris when suddenly I hear her voice and begin interacting with her. God I wish I could record it

[@theowlreviewerofficial]

But yeah Diane was so cute. Love her

[@cinephile9885]

Thank you for making my favorite movie, RIP Mr. Forman.

[@ethankeadle9745]

That was the man behind my all time favorite movie. Rest in peace, Mr. Forman.

[@edkeaton1085]

RIP to the great Milos Forman (1932-2018). What an outstanding director. I also enjoy his work on both "Ragtime" (1981) and "Amadeus" (1984), where he'd received his other Oscar for Best Director, if my memory serves me right.

[@fiarandompenaltygeneratorm5044]

People need to see "Ragtime." A forgotten masterpiece that is as relevant today as when it was made.

[@NICC234]

Give an oscar to all of them! Fellini, Altman, Kubrick, Forman, Lumet! Holy shit what a lineup!

[@peterborak3256]

RIP. Legend...

Jako bychom s tím měli cokoliv společného. Pokud něco, pánové jako Forman odsud prchali jak jen mohli, tady by točil normalizační komedie.

Tremendously well-deserved.

Miluji Miloš Forman ❤️

[@ivanmay7890]

Out of all my favorite filmmakers, Milos Forman, John Landis, Cameron Crowe and John Hughes are the ones who influenced me to become a filmmaker. There's something about those guys that interests me. And Milos Forman totally deserved that Oscar for directing One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. He had a very soulful approach to directing.

[@branagain]

All nominees deserved to win. What a great year in film. None of them would ever win, which is sad.

[@sylviaphillips5803]

Milos & Robert are my favorite director! R.I.P. both of you😢😢😢💜💜💜

[@pipeandslippersman]

rest in peace, maestro. for some reason i woke up this morning wanting desperately to watch 'cuckoo's nest' ... now i know why.

[@lloydduggan92]

Jesus Christ, what a line up of nominees

[@RenanCMaia]

What a group!

[@Gallifrey1991]

[@luannaelena1972]

Wow, what a great speech, filled with gratitude, humor, and respect!

[@nicemimomisu]

Damn, that's a high quality choice of directors. Wow

[@drstrangelove6558]

One of the most deserved Winners in the catagory EVER (IMHO)! :D One Flew Over Cuckos Nest is one of the best pctures EVERMADE and Mr. Forman was the right man to direct that incredible film! He really helped the film to be a masterpiece with the actors, the funny and comiedic plot, the good producers, the writers and the screenplay and almost Everything good with that Movie! Nune of the other nominated directing efforts came near to him! :D

[@HoldenNY22]

I think you have the Credit Ken Kesey who wrote the Novel from where it came from. If it wasn't for Ken Kesey writing that Novel there would have been no Movie..

[@gianclaudiopalazzolo5156]

I guess you never saw Amarcord or Barry Lyndon.....at least as good and well made.

[@bbcbbc1717]

Milos was a great director: cuckoos nest, Amadeus, Hair, etc. Took great original material and made masterful films. Cuckoos Nest is my all time favorite book and film, And Amadeus is up there as well.

[@LPJack02]

RIP Miloš Forman (February 18, 1932 - April 13, 2018), aged 86 You will be remembered as a legend.

[@amangoyal923]

No one is talking abt William Wyler... What a gem of a filmmaker

[@michaelmuldowney8]

Wyler and Forman directed FIVE best picture winners between them.

[@fiarandompenaltygeneratorm5044]

And won 6 Oscars for best director. Wyler: 4. Forman: 2.

[@ikee3]

When movies were classics, when all of the nominated directors are legends and remembered today!

[@joel.saucedo]

oh my god, what a year. the five deserved it

[@JamesHKelly-re6cp]

What a great director.

[@jorgealexis6569]

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Cuckoo's Nest) from 1975 is one of my favorite films of all time where every fear, madness, illness and virtue of its protagonists is explored with humor and compassion, this masterful film is ultimately an unforgettable and incomparable experience.

William Wyler. Wow!

[@isabellas.c.scanderbeg2670]

Amazing! All those films were Masterpieces ✨✨✨

[@JerseySurvivor]

This was Diane's first Oscar appearance and her last as a presenter for nearly 20 years!

[@albertstock85]

First Comment. Man, that list of nominees and films, each a masterpiece, and all of them, bona-fide masters, and, remember, that year they snubbed Spielberg for Jaws. That truly was an amazing era for film.

[@emypadovano4706]

Love miss Keaton ❤

[@Hs3u39]

What a year for film. Those films were all so good. This was the film industry’s crème de la crème.

[@bchadaway7469]

If I was being sent to a remote place and could only take one film with me, it would be my DVD of “The Firemen’s Ball.” RIP.

[@JP-hz4sr]

Rest In Peace

[@rr7firefly]

Very scary to see Diane Keaton's face (Stop at 1:13). Her eyes are set at different heights, one much higher than the other one. Crazy.

[@f4ust85]

Jesus, what competition that year, talk about heavy hitters. And Milos beat them all. Remarkable era in cinema.

[@Cinemadiction]

This has to be the single greatest oscar lineup ever

[@Gallifrey1991]

Oh, Diane. I love you

[@lynnturman8157]

What a thrill to see the great William Wyler. I wish there was more archival footage of one of the greatest directors in motion picture history.

[@Ivan-pn8eh]

The best movie of Milos Forman

[@ppuh6tfrz646]

Actually, I preferred Amadeus.

[@pigeonboy7696]

could you imagine beating Stanley goddamn Kubrick? What a rush that must’ve been

[@goldifying]

Underrated? Sure, by the general public. But with critics and movie enthusiasts alike? He is held with the highest of esteem. A truly respected and remarkable auteur.

[@Lulustucru2393]

An incredible director genius !!! 👏👏. R.I.P

[@nelliesnose5648]

I’ve never seen him before. I don’t know why but I didn’t expect him to have been so attractive.

[@diptanshukashyap28]

I feel that Fellini nabbed Spielberg of the director’s nomination. I remember the video of Spielberg feeling sad about it and saying I’m not nominated.

[@MatthewGeoffino]

There is a very big reason for that. He has an intense fear of flying.

[@janjirekreality]

R.I.P

[@Mst3kfan1994]

Now I know where the "Kubrick Stare" truly originated from...

[@duckwrangler]

Wow - how brilliant were those five movies.

[@LovelyNeko21]

why is everybody mentioning just Kubrick, Fellini's movies are masterpieces as well

[@vittoriostoraro]

Yes but Amacord, as enjoyable as it is, is not among his masterpieces.

[@ppuh6tfrz646]

Personally, I think Fellini is one of the most over-rated directors in history. But things would be pretty dull if we all had the same opinions.

[@theinevitablesnack]

What. A. Speech. Wow

Very stoic, impassive reactions from Fellini and Kubrick.

[@solomonmonterrey]

Wow, what a set of nominees

[@KidMillions]

I read Milos and Jack Nicholson didn't get along on the set, despite the mutual respect shown here.

[@ManfredDeJesus]

@kutuluu Yes interesting how two of the greatest directors of all time, Kubrick and Fellini, are nominated together, and yet both of them get hardly any applause at all

[@TEREISIANNA]

CZECH REPUBLIC.....♥️✌ REMEMBER IT Miloš Forman is best director ♥️

[@forensicdar]

still alive Ano!

[@TEREISIANNA]

@@forensicdar konečně nějakej čech ♥️

[@Adamdow95]

Spielberg should've been nominated for Jaws.

[@fiarandompenaltygeneratorm5044]

Not over any of these gentlemen. Five of the best motion pictures ever made -- "Amarcord;" "Nashville;" "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest;" "Dog Day Afternoon;" "Barry Lyndon" -- and the director was a key contributor to their renown. "Jaws" is great (as is Spielberg), but it's not in this league.

[@wallofboingo]

The applause picks up after the first two nominees strictly because they were actually there in attendance.

[@dsim6703]

Gene was so excited about announcing Wyler, he didn't mention Diane Keaton

[@JerseySurvivor]

@Wired4Life2 Fellini DID win for 8 1/2> Though he got the award for foreign film, not director. To date, no director has won for a foreign film. PS. Would love to see the clip of Fellini getting that Oscar. It was presented by Julie Andrews!

[@MartinKoucKotouc]

The only thing missing from this film is Forman's best friend Miroslav Ondříček behind the camera 🇨🇿
