Clint gets all excited and talkative when he's honored. Such a humble man. Great speech too, shows a lot of character and that he's really just a down-to-earth guy.

[@RobertSmith-tt5qv]

[@Franaflyby]

Clint reminds me of the time when men were men and women were glad they were....😊

[@nickcollister404]

I have studied film actors for years. I don't care where you are from, what you believe, there will, never, ever, ever be another Clint Eastwood. Al, Robert, Sean, Jack, you know.

When I think of Eastwood , I imagine him wearing a Red White & Blue suit with a big Shield & Sword …… The real Mr America 🇺🇸

[@ronniebishop2496]

And that’s an understatement, I’m 71 years old and I literally grew up with TV, and Clint Eastwood and long after this night and many more nights just like it, the man Clint Eastwood, and what he’s accomplished and who he was will still be, being studied and gone over to try and grasp it all in our minds, “Eastwood is synonymous with Hollywood, and actually represents what it is, even better than it does itself.” RB

[@atiboyful]

It could be arguably said that his best work is ahead of him. Amazing at the age of 80

[@adriangarza8849]

Clint is the Best 👍

such a legend.love you Clint.

[@superfly19751]

[@jaredbird5215]

Love Alec Baldwin's expression at the end of this clip .. complete resignation and, politics aside, knows he'll never be of this stature.

Take a good look Baldwin...that's the man you'll never be.

Clint is the ONLY Hollywood Actor and Director who can get away with being a Republican/Libertarian and still survive

[@backwhenarmyoftwofirstcame2873]

No, you're just a hateful right-winger who cannot tolerate differentiating ideas/beliefs The fact is, there are more democrats then there are republicans, repubs are just very good at gerrymandering and doing whatever they can to swing the polls in their favor

[@dallasbagley]

Haha, so true. I love Clint, and hope to meet him one day.

[@frankcastle1124]

Hatful right-wingers ? Lol . Thats a good one seeing as how all left-wingers do is talk shit about the President and republicans just like you did lmmfao But hey , nice try bro lol

[@chesterchavarria6378]

I've seen and heard many opinions by many actors and directors about him, and I truly belive there's many great actors and directors out there, but can you be both at the same time? But add up his contribution sometimes as a producer, a musician and so many other things... He's an absolute legend! Admire by all Hollywood.

[@malcontent7976]

"Chuck Norris, never heard of her" Clint Eastwood

I love this meandering speech where he thanks and lambasts at the same time and gets away with it all.

Coolest actor alive and my favorite actor of all time. Clint Eastwood was da man just like Donald Trump. Long live Clint, and I hope to meet him in person before either of us goes. God bless Clint. ❤️❤️

[@freefall9832]

Clint is a cool giant, such a honor for Penn to be in the same room with him. Penn has been irrelevant since Spicoli

[@fakhrussalhin3149]

hold on a sec, lemmi watch the Bullit car chase again. best car chase scene EVER :)

[@50hellkat2]

Play misty for me.....oh ya. I wonder if sean wrote that speech himself. If he did. Good on him.

Heath Ledger and Naomi Watts at 6:12!

Which movie is that on 3.55

I've never seen it but I think it might be The Outlaw Josey Wales

SILENCE.. .... The Lord is at large.... One should be seriously bored on the "web" in order to post negatives about mr. Clintwood....

@rrhynes I believe McQueen also drove the Mustang, did his own stunt driving in Bullitt.

[@AndrewDrazdikJr]

Directors and Producers awarded with cinematic works talented by thespians testifying to the "Engineering of Production Work" as much as they would as the work is copyright by treaty and Convention. The editors of such work when completed should also be noted for their expert opinion, in cinema, in teleplay, in all written works contributing. All credits and outstanding awards given work in all not forgotten as an enterprise of business by the Library of Congress and guilded trade unions.

[@TheRocknRollfreak]

@GSheppo92 100x better? That sounds pretty dumb. I'm a huge fan of Christian Bale and I respect him very much for his commitment to his work, In movies like Rescue Dawn he's amazing. And I also highly regard Daniel Day Lewis as an actor. But I would say Sean body of work and diversity of roles puts him on top. Powerhouse performances is what Sean always puts in. Clint Eastwood, Roger Ebert have defined him as the best actor of his generation.

[@akashsangwan4297]

U should mention dollar trology more

Million Dollar Baby?

[@johnchan1154]

Eastwood is a Republican and Sean Penn is a Hillary and Obama fan.Penn is a great actor isn't he?lol!

[@dallasbagley]

Clint is bigger than politics.

[@davidfarmer2049]

..is that way he used such an over worked cliche to describe him. Cringe worthy.......

[@serenaistheb.o.a.t]

This was 2004. Way before people became dumb enough to let politics decide if they like or dislike a person.

[@coldwinter5710]

Ahhh...YES, Sean Penn is an EXCELLENT actor. Winner if 2 Academy Awards among many others. Whatever his politics, it doesn't change that. Just as it doesn't change it for Clint, who is one of the VERY BEST EVER.

[@tomt6142]

What the hell is your point?

[@joekiddlouischama]

@mjb785 ... I don't think that the comment is meant to be interpreted too literally. After all, Eastwood himself was in a smashing car chase at the end of "Magnum Force" (Ted Post, 1973). The point is that while of course there were some great car chases after "Bullitt," perhaps better than the one in "Bullitt," the idea of a "car chase" inspired by that film eventually became too much of a cliche.

[@sumerolu]

Where did that award come from?, Looks like it was cut off the bottom of a large bottle of Hennessy and polished up for the occasion? Bet Clint used it as a place mat for his whiskey or beer!

[@atiboyful]

And?? Is it hard for you to accept that a San Francisco native could be socially liberal and fiscally conservative?

[@carlostejada1479]

they should put *"THERE'RE 2 KIND OF MEN... THOSE WITH LOADED GUNS, AND THOSE WHO DIG; YOU DIG"* no single dialogue from the good the bad & the evil??? 🙈🙈🙈

Why are you so dumb that you can't get past politics like they have?? You realize Clint CHOSE to work with him, right?
