Emma Thompson's Best Actress BAFTA for Sense & Sensibility

[@nivledamh]

I love how genuinly happy kate is for Emma!

[@notgadot]

Brit supports Brit 💯➿⚍♬👍

[@marjanp4784]

Only a one minute speech and yet she could manage to produce genuine laughter in the audience, that's called talent ❤️

[@TheRjjrjjr]

How much can be said about Emma Thompson? She is one of the great human beings of her generation. It was really sad for the other actresses to have their clips followed hers. She is a wonder.

[@mindy56374]

They really should just give her all the awards just so she can make more speeches like this one

[@SchwiftyX379]

Thirteen years later and I still love sense and sensibility and absolutely LOVE Emma! She's just the best!

[@Price70]

This is from 1996 😂 for 1995. The video was uploaded 13 years before your comment, 14 years now.

[@ColliCub]

The clip they show of her performance in 'Sense & Sensibility' is one of my all-time favourite movie scenes; it's a brilliant monologue and a heart-wrenching emotional collapse compared to the rigidity and stoic nature of the character's role earlier in the film. And Emma Thompson just rocks... what a wit!

[@Girl-rj3qe]

Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Jeniffer Ehle. Beautiful and talented Jane Austen leads

[@alisdairmckenzie]

This has to be a first and to date only thing - She wins the BAFTA playing a part for which she won an Oscar for adapting. Fantastic. And her speeches are always delightful. Check out her Golden Globe speech when she won for Screenplay. It's a treat

[@DeniseR.2201]

The winslet girl xD how much i love Emma...

[@mickyblessy]

..The Winslet girl, whom I'm very fond of in spite of her youth, talent and beauty.. 🤣 Emma's sense of humour is on point ❤ I love their bonding 🔥

[@MsDDiddy]

you should see her golden globe speech for sense and sensibility. absolutely brilliant!!

[@champagnesocialist3716]

She’s so funny and genuine! I love her💖

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

But it was highly impressive how Emma Thompson played a teenager in the movie so beautifully at 35 yrs of age

[@chiaroo10]

Second that. She has a knack with language. And people. And charm. Thanks for posting this.

[@emma8thompson]

I must say out of the clips they showed she definitely did seem far better than the other nominees. I haven't seen any of the other films, but Emma Thompson is generally the best actress in just about any grouping anyway.

[@msinvincible2000]

This woman is wonderful. I adore her!

[@CarinaF13]

Gosh I never tire of watching this acceptance speech of Emma's nor any other. Pure brilliance! Emma is SO unbelievably funny! I absolutely ADORE her to bits! She's genuinely lovely in all countenance and spirit.

[@maryedmaripolloso4723]

I was only an infant when the movie came out and I just watched it a few days ago... I've already liked Emma Thompson and was impressed on her acting in the film, knowing that she actually won a best actress award made me nod and say "Yup, she deserved it!"

[@JRRDPR]

Emma is oustanding in every way.

[@msinvincible2000]

Did you see Jennifer Ehle at 3:01? It's so wonderful to see in te same video Jennifer, Emma and Kate: my favourite actresses and my favourite austenian characters

[@AnnetteWarren]

@AnneofPoland And Alan Rickmann and Hugh Grant, of course, who both had bigger trailers than me, which I am still slightly twisted about. But of course my principal thanks must go to Ang Lee, the director, even though he kept on coming up to me and saying things like "Don't look so old!" which was crushing. So thank you for lifting me out of the depression that that set me into. This is a great thrill and most unexpected honour and I am very grateful.

[@fairies47]

Emma Thompson is so funny here! And you should watch her speech for Best Script (Oscars)... It is so funny and intelligent, it shows how she knows deeply Jane Austen's world and words... Great actress!

[@alisdairmckenzie]

I think you mean Best Screenplay at the Golden Globes - definitely reflects her way with words and those of Austen.

[@fairies47]

@@alisdairmckenzie Well English is not my first language, thank you for correcting my mistake. Best Screenplay of course.

[@alisdairmckenzie]

@fairies47 Hi. I didn't mean it that way at all. I was thinking of the awards themselves. I know Oscars divides them into original and adapted but the Globes just has best screenplay. Her speech at the Globes is famous & hilarious of course. That's all. I didn't detect anything to do with your language at all. It's all good hopefully.

[@aagold76]

Emma gives the greatest speeches!

[@AnnetteWarren]

@AnneofPoland Thank you BAFTA, very much indeed. That's totally unexpected and really wonderful. I'd like to thank the entire cast, even though they were all vile to me, cause I'd written it. And pricipally the Winslet-girl of whom I'm very fond in spite of her youth, talent and beauty. And obviously Hardy and Spriggs were very difficult cause they actually knew Jane Austen.

[@hectorgranados7265]

She is simply the best.. I adore her... ❤

[@alisdairmckenzie]

Mrs Jennings (Elizabeth Spriggs) and Sir John Middleton (Robert Hardy)'s scene in S & S in which they can't stop laughing is a fantastic. No matter how many times I've seen it - it just floors me. If you need cheering up at all - put on S & S and skip to the two of them musing about the mysterious EF. On the flip side - need a cry or you heart warming up... the wonderful moment where a recovered Marianne thanks Colonel Brandon ( the late great Alan Rickman) from her sick bed. His face when she finally acknowledges him. I'm gonna lose it typing this...

[@teovanni1963]

Attrice e sceneggiatrice straordinaria

[@dw5749]

Saw Sense and S. in Poland when I was 19. Couldn't ever guess she's sooooio different then the character. Funniest woman in the world!🙂

[@jeansinger7245]

Great talent and I love her English accent

[@BillyCosmosis]

Superb acceptance speechfrom ET - again.

[@TheRealJules16]

OMG that is awesome! I never noticed that until now! I love the both. Thanks for telling us! :)

[@FlewMary]

Emma thompson is amazing! Brilliant and so funny :)

[@nd5517]

Awww Kate is so cute and nervous @3:37

[@jennifervb66]

“Hardy and Spriggs were very difficult, of course, because they actually knew Jane Austen…” 😂

[@EmmaAlanFan]

wow, she's so funny! I lover her.

[@alma690113]

Emma Thompsom, mi favorita, además es preciosa.

[@Arshabyn7]

She is very funny! excelent actress!!

[@Jmgirl]

I

[@euginam91]

nicole kidman was insanely good in to die for

[@sjoes]

Ooooh, Jeremy is a bonus there!

[@caibutterfly1689]

its so *funny* when people who dont like her say she puts herself in the lead of her movies too often... firstly, w/this movie she didnt put herself in the lead, ang lee did - and in fact when she wrote it, she never wrote it for herself.. the only time she purposefully did it was for nanny mcphee and possibly for the movie she's working on now about an australian lesbian... but if she didn't do that one she'd have to find someone willing to, and that might be hard.. just putting it out there

[@portishphonic]

Young Emma and young Jeremy. Oh My God!

[@KnightofDuroch]

What did we do to deserve this woman?

[@janethompson70]

Anyone else noticed at 57 seconds Jennifer Saunders is behind Emma.

[@MarcosCorderoBALDO]

This was BAFTAs before they changed their date of the ceremony,it used to be AFTER the Oscars..and usually by then everything was already done and said.......THEN a mastermind had the unusual idea of changing it BEFORE the Academy Awards and since then everything has been quite different and for good for the British academy,because nowadays their influence in whatever might happen with the Oscars,its vital!.

[@elzbieta52]

I remember seeing that speech and thinking how incredibly witty she is. Now, I cannot for the life of me, find it one youtube. Do you or does anyone know what I should type in?

[@emilyelyse]

Why didn’t Anthony Hopkins give her the award? It’s tradition

[@saeedurrahman2056]

She was 37 years old in 1996 now she is 60

[@Liz86000]

@msinvincible2000 The three of them are wonderful. I love Jennifer Ehle, great actress, and forever THE Elizabteh Bennet! :)

[@Zenobiadream]

it looks like is ripped, but its a bolero jacket worn over a dress, so its just the jacket lifting when shes kisses Jeremy Irons, have a look at getty images, you will see its a jacket.

[@AnnetteWarren]

@cervaPL You are welcome! :)

[@keithwilson6060]

Emma should wear here period costume and persona in real life forever.

[@drowsynumbness]

I agree with you completely, but can't help noticing that Fry could have easily said these words on a comedy show and had everyone in splits.

[@southernbrooklyngal]

its star!!!

[@DeniseR.2201]

@caibutterfly1689: u absolutley right! Could you please tell me more about her new project. The Story about the australien lesbian? ;) Im from germany and its hard to hear something about Emma ;)

[@nostalgic001]

Where's Susan Sarandon?

[@jferkfjkj]

who's the man introducing jeremy irons

[@Jonboi713]

He says "your royal highness" as this is 96, was Diana there?

[@xNatalie24x]

Susan Surandon wasn't even nominated? WTH. But I do love Emma Thompson in Sense and Sensibility.

[@alisdairmckenzie]

Only 4 nominees for best actress - the following year the same again.

[@CKVish]

@jferkfjkj It's Sir Peter Ustinov

[@TexasHoldEmGurl]

No, Susan Surandon wasn't nominated. Neither was Susan Sarandon.

[@77cobby]

How funny is she?!

[@nostalgic001]

Where's Susan nomination on this?

[@helendqueen]

Nicole Kidman is an overrated actress

[@LydiaGormican]

This comment is just a laugh.
