Mira Sorvino winning Best Supporting Actress for Mighty Aphrodite

[@shan5963]

Wow, when she said Paul's name it got him right in the heart. RIP to a fantastic actor!

[@idadudenmanner]

When Paul Sorvino starts crying it gets me every time... so sweet, her dad the actor seeing her win her Oscar.

[@marka.5135]

Me too. That's enough to make ME lose it. So sweet. It's what every Dad needs to hear.

[@talltomboynyc]

Same here. May he rest in peace.

[@carmie9400]

A wonderful actor was Paul Sorvino - when he started crying I started too! RIP ❤

[@green823jade]

Rest In Peace Mr. Sorvino

It was so touching when her dad cried. This is the same guy who played mobsters.

RIP Martin Landau (June 20, 1928 - July 15, 2017), aged 89 And RIP Paul Sorvino (April 13, 1939 - July 25, 2022), aged 83 You both will be remembered as legends.

[@Charlesbaker3017]

Crimes and Misdemeanor...with Landau is brilliant..

[@neworleansguy10]

It’s still amazing that Romy has an Oscar!!

[@angelacarleton9575]

I loved what she said, " when you honor her you 're honoring my dad whose taught me everything about acting." She is so loving in the way she expressed herself to everyone and includes her dad in this fashion. Love her for that. May she be given other opportunities to take roles of substance because she's got the making of a great artist! Don't give up Mira!

[@doyougetmesweetheart]

I identified with her statement: "I've always been moved by how other people's hearts made me feel ..."

[@evanseago2301]

Collette Desmaris that perfectly describes acting!!

[@pmointernet]

Holy hell what a beautiful acceptance speech! Bookmarked! She is such a beautiful person.

[@austinteutsch]

Mira is a good actress, but her dad is a great actor and an great opera singer as well.

[@5andup]

1. Kate Winslet - emotionally-driven and calibrated performance (She won the Screen Actors' Guild and BAFTA Awards for this film.) 2. Joan Allen - a slow-burn acting showcase 3. Mira Sorvino - appealing role, committed performance 4. Mare Winningham - strong acting plus due points for her fine singing work in the movie 5. Kathleen Quinlan - passable

[@bradleym7319]

Quinlan’s nomination is a bit of a head scratcher. The rest are great.

[@CYP0]

Proud dad (and mum).

[@65g4]

This was so sweet with her dad but i now feel so bad for her that soon after the harvey weinsten incident and she was blacklisted

[@preciousjey]

And the Oscar goes to Paul Sorvino for Goodfellas.

[@jonsampiro]

RIP Papa Paul.

[@meropale]

I remember this being a bit of a shocker back in the day. In any case, very happy for her and her family.

[@meropale]

To be very honest though I have to say this is one of the worst Oscar wins ever. Any other one of the actresses would have been better deserved. My pick would have been Joan Allen.

[@valentinr.dominguez2892]

Mira was beautiful here. Dress, jewelry, hairstyle, makeup, everything. Elegant.

[@richspinaci8293]

Mira made her father proud of her that night. The best compliment he could ask for

[@yevaburshteyn6938]

What a great movie by Woody Allen. What agood choice to get the general role for Mira Sorvino.Great performance Mira.Bravo❤

[@vadimastprojects8770]

She never came close to this level of performance again.

[@adagiobreeze8493]

I always thought she was a ditzy blonde like the ones she portrays but after hearing this speech I realized what a smart, articulate performer she is.

[@dylanpsinakis7930]

Adagio Breeze shes a harvard graduate

[@chrishernandez3699]

Yeah cuz she's an actress lol and pretty good at it

[@allthatjazzspaz95]

The woman went to Harvard

[@georgebailey9238]

She has a degree in Comparative Literature from Harvard.

Kate was starting to dye her hair red here for the Titanic role. She was strawberry blonde in this footage.

I was an extra in one of Sorvino's movies "Like Dandelion Dust",filmed in Jacksonville,Florida.

#RIPPaulSorvino

[@julkasteven8198]

Rest In Peace Paul Sorvino, Mira's father. She owes him a lot.

[@eugeneendres5846]

Lucky for Harvey Weinstein that Paul Sorvino isn't a mobster in real life and just plays one as an actor. If he had been he would have had Weintstein wacked ! lol

[@moonstruck562]

No he threatened to whack him. He wasn't scared of no Harvey! He's very protective of his daughter. There's a video on that.

[@Pearlelliott1311]

Weinstein has to rot in hell for what he did to many many talented actresses and who had at the time strength to reject his disgusting behavior by destroying their career’s and this woman is the best example how an Oscar winner couldn’t get any role??

[@VikingMatt879]

I watch this clip when I need a dose of humanity, When she says the award honors her father, and PAUL SORVINO, the big great, mighty, mafia movie guy, breaks down crying, it is just an amazing moment.

[@pixielightshadow]

I gotta wonder what inspired Woody Allen to write such script lol

[@domkennedy1770]

Rip paul

[@ALE280290]

Mira Sorvino was brilliant and funny in Mighty Aphrodite, but for me Kate Winslet should have won: she made me cry in Sense and Sensibility.

[@benashworth7653]

mira just might have given the greatest COMEDIC female performance of all time ..I don't say that lightly

[@dtexas2964]

Nobody asked.

[@el7jake]

And nobody asked you, either. You DO get that, don't you?????

[@alteredbeast67]

agree. I first watched Mira in the Replacement Killers. Then when i watched Mighty i almost didnt even recognize her. To keep up that voice and make her dialogue, which is seriously close to offensive at times seem innocent and funny is something not many leading ladies could pull off nevermind a supporting actor. She definitely made that part her own. Compared to Kate Winslet who has the on screen appeal of a plank of wood. I'd rather have stinging nettles rubbed into my eyes than watch her lame emotionless acting......

[@janethu9169]

Matin Landau. Joan Alan. Woody Alan. Diana Keeton. Kate Winslet. Sense & Sensibility. .....

[@valentinr.dominguez2892]

I love Mira Sorvino.

'Thank you so much to Woody Allen for writing this beautiful character.' I bet Woody didn't attend. But good for you, and congrats to papa Paul!

[@sumoclift]

I love her role and performance

[@hamursh]

Whoopi Goldberg: This just in, Miramax has changed the title of "Mighty Aphrodite" to "Il Sorvino".

[@kathyscherrercieplinski3324]

Didbt understand your statement here?

[@hamursh]

@@kathyscherrercieplinski3324 That was what Whoopi said after Mira won.

[@kathyscherrercieplinski3324]

Yes, I realize that. Not a nice thing to say Whoopie

[@Chapin-pc2kz]

@@kathyscherrercieplinski3324 It was a reference to the Italian film _Il Postino,_ which was nominated that same night for several Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Score. Incidentally, its main star, Massimo Troisi, was posthumously nominated. Sadly, he had died at age 41 just prior to the film's release.

[@paulvoorhies8821]

Who was the favorite that night? It’s kind of hard to tell. Perry even playing field. I’d say it was Joan Allen or Kate Winslet. For some reason, I’m not remembering the dynamics going on this category for this year. Maybe being Paul Sorvino’s daughter helped. I kind of love that Romy of Michele fame has an Oscar!

[@MundoJuanci]

"Care Blanchett" Thats Kate Winslet

[@ivanbrocko]

Yep, she was brilliant.

Looove Joan Alllen in BOURNE movies. Such a no shit woman , don't fu@k with me !!

[@user-br5gn8mb7c]

Why did martin landau present the award for best supporting actress?

[@WheresWaldo05]

Hmmm. Never knew that was her dad. Seen him in some movie before but not sure what. Obviously it had to be a mafia related movie. Thats all those types of guys are ever cast in.

[@user-br5gn8mb7c]

Who is mira sorvino?

[@heinrichvon]

3:10 - Too bad all that gratitude to Woody Allen for writing such a great part and casting her in it later went out the window when she joined the bandwagon against Woody.

[@bijibadness]

so your movie's the best movie out of all others that year, you win _Best Original Screenplay_ by a total LANDSLIDE _and_ you've got Mira Sorvino on your arm for the red carpet? if Harvey Weinstein's Mephistopheles, then Quentin Tarantino is his Faust. there's lucky then there's luckier, then there's Q.T. in 1994.

[@minhdo3482]

Was she dating Tarantino?

[@stefantomasi4036]

Yes around the time

[@vincentharris8552]

Why didn't she return her Oscar?

[@vincentharris8552]

I think it's a fair question. Chalamet and Gerwig gave their money to a victim's group after voicing their disdain for Allen. Michael Caine trashed him, Sorvino trashed him, too. If the post Allen experience was as repulsive as many have said, including her, why didn't she return the Oscar she won by acting in one of his movies?

[@gonaarc2612]

Actors are very strange creatures, they believe they are entitled and pure, Greta, Chalamet, Winslet, Ellen Page, they all made headlines AFTER working with Woody, I never heard Scarlett Johansson, Marion Cotillard, Cate Blanchett or Penelope Cruz bitching about it, and they gave their best works with a Woody Allen script and direction, all BS!

[@georginab1126]

How did she win, everyone else was better

[@TheJeanean]

Georgina B studios campaign for their nominations and awards. The ones who dump the most money into the campaign usually win. It’s not based on actual acting typically.

[@vnach299]

Exacly like Marissa Tomei in her Oscar's year winning.

How do you punish Woody Allen? You give that oscar right back to The Academy. That'll show the little he

WOODY ALLEN, HARVEY WEINSTEIN. we need to sit on this, we need to stew in this, at least for a second. a LOT of the things we love - a LOT - are at least in part brought about by people who do horrible, hideous things. allegedly. all allegedly, of course, at least in the case of Mr. Allen, whose movies I still respect so much ... it's just damn, man. what the fuck are we doing to each other? this woman, this bright, gorgeous, luminous woman, would be had, tempted, acted upon, betrayed, lied to, #Cancelled [in the '90s and '00s HARVEY WEINSTEIN could #Cancel anyone he pleased]. look what we did for you, Miss Sorvino. I'm sorry. I had no part in it but loving the movies that Weinstein c*nt helped produce, but still. damn. we did you wrong, and I'm sorry for my part. anyway. enjoy the day, everyone. it's the only one we got.
