Siskel & Ebert 1993 Oscar Predictions

[@footofjuniper8212]

Seeing the footage suddenly shift over to what was on the tape before was a real blast from the past!

[@jedijones]

Ironic that Siskel said the Academy wouldn't award Anthony Hopkins the Oscar two years in a row but this was the year that Tom Hanks would win his first of back-to-back Oscars.

[@JRRLewis]

I have to agree with Siskel that the one who deserved it that year for best actor was Anthony Hopkins in The Remains of the Day--not a flashy role but one that showed extraordinary nuance and detail and was pretty unique in its "everything under the surface" restraint. I also agree with them that Ralph Fiennes deserved the supporting actor award for his remarkable performance in Schindler's List. It's a shame that the Academy has yet to reward such an excellent actor.

[@threeminuteshate]

Oh man, Letterman was so much better with these two. Leno has always been hacky. Letterman knew how to play with these guys.

[@Orangeflava]

Letterman looked a lot like Jay Leno in 1994...

[@mrnocal]

He also looked a lot like Katie Couric!

[@blinkzone1]

Fiennes should have won for SL. The best villain screen character I've ever seen in the movies.

[@ge-8135]

No question. The academy is high school. Not reality.

[@josephsarto689]

No, DiCaprio shoulda won for what’s eating Gilbert grape

[@travisboyce6212]

I love how for Best Supporting Actress they mentioned all the nominees except the eventual winner.

[@bigtony1434]

And the fact that it was a little girl too

[@tinyhato]

Roger got his chance to be a "villain" in a movie as Mayor Ebert was named after him in 1998's Godzilla.

[@MacIntoshMann]

Along with the mayor’s trusty sidekick Gene!

[@AndrewS-lk4pt]

Awesome, please keep the S&E videos coming! (If you have any)

[@borednow5838]

Was pleased that Tommy Lee Jones won best supporting actor such a great actor, and it is easy sometimes to overlook that kind of film and performance. I did find Leno a bit repetitive after awhile in this clip.

[@wishiwassleeping8382]

Gene Hackman won best supporting actor that year for his role in Unforgiven

[@langdonalger9219]

@@wishiwassleeping8382 no, that was the year before.

[@GrassValleyGreg]

The Ref is my family's favorite Xmas movie lol

[@WordUnheard]

I tried to adjust the tracking 7:32 for about 25 seconds, before realizing that I was on my computer. I've smoked myself into a happy place. I REALLY needed it. Have a great one, everybody. I probably won't survive the next year, but I'll make most of these days count. Whoa. I got side-tracked. I love watching these Siskel & Ebert videos. They always take me back to when I was a kid, and reality wasn't so in-your-face, and harsh, and unfiltered. I have a five year old, and she shares my love of horror movies! I know that when I die, part of me will still be alive in her. She is literally a chemical composite of both me and her mother. I just hate that she will be losing her dad, while she's at such an early age. It's unjust, it's unfair, and it's nightmarish that I won't be able to watch her grow up, that I won't be able to be there for her and support her, both emotionally and financially. Yeah, side-tracked once again. Thanks for uploading this. I only found out I had a grade 4 gliobastoma, and a one year time limit, it really changed my comments, in certain comment sections. I'm just speaking the truth. I want to create as many memories and videos with my daughter as I possibly can, so that she can one day go back and relive a moment, only on a more personal level, as I do when I watch Siskel and Ebert. She is my entire world.

[@vinnieviddivicci5459]

God bless you, friend.

[@AngusRockford]

Compare the zombie-like way Leno handles these two (who always had a lot to say and always did it entertainingly) with how Letterman handled them and it’s impossible not to notice that Letterman was, by far, the better host.

[@jedijones]

Leno seemed like a guy who did not want to be there trying to pretend that he did.

[@AngusRockford]

@@jedijones Leno was one of my favorite guests on Letterman’s show before he started guest hosting for Carson, because he came across as snarky, dgaf, and somewhat anti-establishment, or, at least, anti-“showbiz.” As soon as he sniffed big mainstream opportunities, he dropped that facade like a hot potato and became the ultimate conformist network tool. That was bad enough, but the shit he pulled to sabotage Letterman and Conan was just fucking evil.

[@sammykewlguy]

They were pretty right on, except that Anna Paquine, who ended up winning the supporting actress category, didn’t even get mentioned.

[@StealthMaster86]

Apart from Best Supporting Actress, they were spot on. Anna Paquin won for The Piano.

[@neworleansguy10]

StealthMaster86 I don’t think hardly anyone predicted Paquin. Of the “Big 7” categories, Supporting Actress has certainly been the most unpredictable, with many, many actresses winning while they weren’t even among the Top 2 or 3 favorites. It’s even, on several occasions, gone to the darkest of horses widely considered to be the 4th or 5th ranking nominee in the category. Somewhere between the 90s and the early 2000s, Oscar prognostication went from being a quaint hobby to mainstream sport.

[@Abr022575]

Bobcat Goldthwaite was thwarted for Shakes The Clown.

[@reneedennis2011]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@christianhafer9819]

Tommy Lee Jones deserved to win. He's phenomenal on the Fugitive. Quotable lines. The whole nine yards.

[@coastercreationman]

Letterman?

[@SbongamandlaMaphumulo]

The actor category was tough.

[@ruly8153]

Hilarious how nearly everyone Ebert says won

[@scottmandu8316]

Irons is terrific

[@langdonalger9219]

6:48 Leno on helium

[@LongfellowLP]

Good lord, Jay Leno trying so hard to make the same joke land for like the whole interview

I am not a homosexual

[@langdonalger9219]

Paul Zenco ok

[@fje6902]

They were wrong about Michael Jordan. At the time, I heard many baseball people: some players, and announcers who were former players say how offended they were with Michael Jordan playing baseball. Tony Kubek said that Michael Jordan had not earned earned his baseball uniform and he was correct. The Bull and White Sox had the same owner, so Jordan gets to go directly to AAA, and with the big club in spring training. Reinsdorff said Jordan will be on the White Sox roster that April despite having a spring training which would send anyone else packing his bags. It was a disgrace, and the game of baseball was fortunate Jordan went back to basketball, where he belonged.

[@willis2920]

Ugh. Leno. What a weasel, and irritating AF

[@yaywhewclips242]

Leno so phoney!!

[@langdonalger9219]

So, we agree on this?

[@madmadhatter]

God, Jay Leno is an awful interviewer...

[@langdonalger9219]

Scott LaMont not as bad as Fallon though

[@musicman76enator]

Fallon sucks!!!

[@todd3563]

Leno wasnt a good interviewer.

[@Jared_Wignall]

DiCaprio deserved the Oscar for Gilbert Grape. Fiennes is a close second for me. Jones was good, but I don't see anything award worthy in his performance like the other two.

[@UxCANxDOxIT]

Brian Smith cool story bro.

[@stevestarscream5182]

Why he is doing it is because he was suspended by the nba for gambling

[@langdonalger9219]

No.....

[@maxpax7389]

Come on, 1994 was actually so obvious. Schindlers List was the best movie, but Tommy Lee and Harrison Ford were the best actors. Spielberg were the best director. The Oscars are a joke.
