Bette Midler Golden Globe win for The Rose

[@The70sChick]

I agree 100 percent that Bette should have won the Oscar. She was frickin robbed.

[@amandabonanza]

I loved her in Beaches!

[@lonellfletcher]

She should win more awards just for speeches like this.

[@carolecarr5210]

She forgot Amanda McBroom who wrote The Rose in 12 minutes.

[@pattibrooks1907]

Bette is a classy lady kid and warm too !

[@unicornmadness6286]

Classy...... WHAT?

[@mrnocal]

I love her and she was brilliant in The Rose and totally deserved the 2 Globes she got.

[@benschaeffer8102]

She's HILARIOUS! ❤️ her.

[@aidanflynn1577]

It’s insane that Bette Midler hasn’t ever been nominated for the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. She should’ve been inducted years ago.

[@jodyreeves4869]

This is. When I fell in love with her.

[@Wackedout]

Oh my. I just got the joke! Cheers to again with humor❤

[@trilby5546]

She should have won the oscar for the rose.

[@paullgagliardi5798]

She has always been one of my favorite ladies. ❤

[@HeresWhatJonathanSaid]

This was great but Bette was robbed. She DEFINITELY should've won the Oscar for that performance. She was crazy crazy good in it.

[@petermcleannyc]

Agreed! 💯

[@beaellie9766]

No one but her could have made the role in "The Rose" what it was and that's why I agree with you she should have won the Oscar. Unfortunately, too many Academy voters at the time thought she was just playing herself and couldn't see beyond Midler's real life persona and the role she created on screen. One of my favorite films and way, WAY ahead of it's time.

[@alicehenderson7983]

@@beaellie9766 you are not kidding, she needs to get an Oscar, she is the most emotional actor I have ever watched, real feelings, she works hard, she was robbed of it, I would love to see her get it, how would we help her.

[@wylier]

@@beaellie9766 well, Bette's role was actually modeled after Janis Joplin. The only bit that was 'autobiographical' was the scene set in that male bathhouse (as bette routinely did shows in NYC's gay bathhouses). Sally Field won just about every award for Best Actress that year (for "Norma Rae"), so it was clearly her year.

[@gaylefranklin]

@@wylierdidn’t Sissy Spacek win for Coal Miner’s Daughter?

[@barttanner8162]

She is and will always be The Divine Ms. M!

[@zibbyzubb]

she is so funny. And it was so spontaneous!

[@damienburke288]

She should have the oscar

[@kirkreid743]

It was heartwarming to see her get emotional at the end of her second speech when she thanked her parents.

[@alicehenderson7983]

Kirk Reid, yes that was very sweet what she said at the end, sad that her mom died early that year, she lost her mom so young in her life, I thought it was so sad for Bette,

[@rinadupreez9956]

You cannot but love her 💕

[@aidanflynn1577]

It’s 2024 and Bette Midler is still not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame 😮

[@wdh47211]

Always love her.....

[@madeleinemcgregor2855]

God bless Bette Midler 😇❤️

[@TheCarnivalguy]

I can see it now. Bette singing with Barry accompanying her on the piano (at the Continental Baths-NYC, a gay bath house. Nureyev is rumored to have visited there on more than one occasion.) I ❤️ them both!

[@edwardhannah]

She was never funnier than when she was at the Grammys whether she was accepting or presenting. The 70s were the best!!

[@christiaandhooghe]

0:59 min "I'll show you a pair of Golden Globes...." 😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@denny8093]

Best speech ever LOL

[@shawnwest6341]

Aha now I get it, she won two on the same night! I mean the Joan Crawford story I already knew, it was hilarious and I had also seen the clip of her thanking her "ma.....and pa" which brings me to tears, and I always wondered how the two fit in the same night (yeah I didn't wiki or google it, it was pre-internet!).

[@alicehenderson7983]

Shawn West, you know her mom died early that year from cancer, Bette lost her mom so young in her own life, it was so sad, I always felt bad for her, she lost so many people in her life, more than most people in a lifetime.

[@gregoryc1500]

I love her

[@timlester1867]

She really should have won the Academy Award too, but it's all about politics...

[@phudang3558]

Love her

[@rayyanez3527]

She Was ROBBED ! Of THAT ÓSCAR !!!!!!!!😠😠😠😠😡😡😡 She KILLED IT ! In THE🌹 ROSE !!!

[@alicehenderson7983]

Ray Yanez, you aren't kidding, she should have won the Oscar, I still think they cheated her out of it, she worked so hard in the Rose

[@fkd1963]

Very few people on live TV can go from racy comments to being on the verge of tears thanking their parents. Re the Oscars, have you seen Norma Rae? Sally deserved it; if it were a weaker year and if the studio had hyped up the drama aspect then Bette would have won.

[@alicehenderson7983]

Frank D, they still cheated her out of it, I have the movie, & she was extremely emotional in it, I have never in my life seen someone that can cry so easily in a movie, she is the best actress in my lifetime, period, I wish I had a replica of an Oscar, I would give it to her, with her name on it, with the title of the movie with her name in Gold

[@robbiemckenzie7822]

She wasnt expecting to win

[@savetheplanet2982]

Fucking hilarious

[@curtismurray9793]

those were the days she'd lose her career if she did those hilarious acitons now

[@mikepaleo3856]

Can't believe she turn down Sister Act she would have been awesome but Whoopi was good in it anyway. 😁

[@alicehenderson7983]

Mike Paleo, I think Bette would have been so funny in it, just to see her do it as a funny Clip now would be hilarious.

[@mariannedom1242]

😊😊😊🌹

[@manfredmorales6362]

Encantadora Bety Midler !!

[@richalderson6069]

She can't help but be funny, it's in her blood.

[@mslitchick]

This is how you give an acceptance speech.

[@michaelmuldowney8]

Rules must have changed. THE ROSE was considered a musical/comedy wheras BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY was a drama !!!!

[@wylier]

I think the producers of the movies decide which category to promote them for. Since 'Bohemian Rhapsody' actually won the Globe for Best Drama that year, that risk clearly paid off for it's producers. I dont think "The Rose" would have stood a chance against "Kramer vs. Kramer" at the globes, if they had been going head to head.

[@michaelmuldowney8]

@@wylier Good points. Its hard often to categorize although maybe Golden Globes were never the best guide. They gave THE MARTIAN the award for best comedy/musical film ?? WTF.

[@wylier]

@@michaelmuldowney8 I thought that was odd, too, but maybe the producers promoted it for that award because they figured it would have the best chance to win that way?

[@alicehenderson7983]

@@wylier Bette won 2 Golden Globes for The Rose, she didn't win the Oscar, but she was nominated for it.

[@wylier]

@@alicehenderson7983 that's not especially relevant to this discussion, but thanks for the bit of trivia.

[@EddieLensweiger]

No for Alan bates, Bette?

[@FranklyScarlettFaced]

Wait stop. Did they pan to sally field at the end. Lol who has bettes Oscar lmao

[@rolandreyna215]

What would she have done with two Golden Globes in her hand(s)? Lol.

[@guilhermerls2272]

LOL

[@timothycole5266]

Who's that snooty lady with the white overdone hair and apparently no sense of humor? And Sally Field looks PISSSED.

[@cidweinberg]

That is gossip lightweight Ronna Barrett I believe. Sally did okay and got an Oscar…although I loved Bette I in The Rose…

[@emillion4470]

Ahhhh, the audacity of youth. This crass and irreverent (albeit highly entertaining) onstage behavior is why Bette didn't win the Oscar.

[@gregoryc1500]

I love her
