Jack always steals the show.

[@wde8160]

no, he did not.

[@samuelmorse784]

@@wde8160 Jack had far better acting career its okay if he steals show.

[@suat365]

No any actor has the charisma of Jack Nicholson. Greatest and coolest actor of all time

[@jmdi2703]

Robert De Niro 😉

[@gayathrir5491]

oh man Jack!!! why you always gotta be the show stealer... I mean I couldn't help but only glue my eyes on you through the entire video... your charisma and screen presence is second to none lorddd!!!

[@jwarrengreen]

Long before I began collecting favourite movies, "Heaven Can Wait", became one of my most favourite.

[@tylsimys67]

As a kid loved the movie so that went to see it twice - only other such case being 'Star Wars'. But besides that I think Beatty's only truly remarkable role has been in 'The Parallax View'.

[@turnerification123]

Jack nicholson is my favorite ❤️

[@MovieFinatic]

When Nicholson calls Beatty "The Pro" that might be the coolest thing ever. And he knew it too lol

I watched in an interview Meryl Streep described Jack Nicholson as the funniest guy on and off screen. She enjoyed working with Jack the most.

[@jmdi2703]

No her favorite is De Niro. 😉

A legend honoring a Legend

[@rhondafortson5205]

WOW...JACK "nailed" ELOQUENCE in this speech!! Love you, Jack.

[@jody-annesullivan4547]

Our dignity of our work. A great line. We love actors. We love their movies. They are people doing a job. Never forget they are actors, doing their job. And Warren, who with his sister, Shirley McClain, acted their whole life. I think in Annette Benning he found a home. I hope their love continues, xx

[@DougJrFan93]

I love Warren! One of my favorite actors gets the award of my favorite producer, Thalberg!

[@jamesleon1805]

I saw Heaven Can Wait in my teens. The enthusiastic, non-judgmental character Mr. Betty played matched his genuine passion for tolerance, kindness, tempered by accountability. I was only a fan of Bugsy because his passion for Annette Benning seemed so real. An Icon that questioned himself as much as his politics. A man who got it right after all the missteps we take in life.

[@Phineas1626]

What a beautiful comment. Thank you for sharing.

[@jmartin4204]

was in the States when Warren Beatty got his well deserved Irving G Thalberg award remember watching it . Nice to see it again

[@balto20002]

The thing that makes Jack even more special in this one is his love for The Pro.

[@mellow5123]

Lovely speech, from such a lovely man. He deserved it.

[@janbianucci3823]

Jack & Warren are just ge best... after Clint Eastwood, that is. Love Clint. ❤️❤️

'Bugsy' was one of the top ten movies made. Both He and Annette peaked in their looks and acting.

Well the acceptance speech the beautiful gratitude selected wording from Warren Beatty with very impressive he's right up there with Robert Redford and Gregory Peck in Paul Newman

[@janinefarris7565]

Splendor in the grass was one of the early and impactful movies I've ever seen wonderful that one sticks out of my head and also Heaven Can Wait

[@pauldawson6138]

I lived next door to Jack Nicholson in Malibu for 7 years. I used to hang out at his place. He threw wild parties.

[@kathleensarachinsky1460]

I dated and lived with a guy who looked like Warren . So handsome !

[@AlxnderNZ]

Why am I crying and a mess at this? It’s effing Warren Beatty! My heart is pounding 😍❤️

[@melsteffano6189]

Two astounding talents

[@savage_skirt5386]

Jack is always cool. Young Warren Beatty was fab.

[@tonym994]

his work in and on Bonnie & Clyde was impressive as hell. underrated acting .he creates a character who, while killing folks w/ machine guns also is a sweet ,gentle person around Bonnie,and even caves right in when sister in law Blanche demands a share of Bank loot .you couldn't ask for a nicer bank robber(except for Willie Sutton .when's that movie coming out?! it's high time.)

[@tonym994]

@@mollysmeow3455 I'm strictly referring to the fictionalized characters written into the film. the real Bonnie & Clyde? hell, they killed folks on Easter and Christmas. and whether or not it was a Barrow shooting, I hold the Barrow gang responsible. my point was similar to yours, about Beatty. the characteristics he brings to Clyde for us, isn't much like how I'd imagine WB or CB IN real life. I wouldn't've realized how good he was as an actor w/ out seeing the '67 masterpiece.

[@howardkoor2796]

Two class acts!

Oh, sure there are Nicholson haters, but what I've read, he and Beatty are very thick, and also, that jack is one of the most loyal friends you can have in a very fake industry.

[@perunlowtuned]

How can you hate Jack Nicholson, unless he has an affair with your wife or your daughter, or unless you're jealous or envious?! The guy is an embodiment of 'cool', and rightfully so!

[@marianoignaciosolissolorza6995]

It is better the Cecil B De Mile Golden Globe . I saw it. Mr. Beaty pointed to Nicholson and said "You You always had to be that cool" or somenthing. I think It was great

[@UnderConstructionejab]

For all the people hating on Jack N. Not one of you has ever met him in person, hung out with him for a period long enough to call him an associate, but you're going to hate a man based on other people's opinions? Yeah, all of you dirt bags, stay away from me, and my people. I won't stoop to your level and call you names as you have done of Jack. Don't waste your time hating on me because, I don't care about you. I won't feed your negativity by responding. Once I ignore you, your comments, & your opinions, you're powerless. Just take this with you, don't judge anybody, you wouldn't like it if they judged you. Also, by judging, you're exposing WHO you are. Congratulations, Warren B.

Warren Beatty should have played: The lives of Irving Thalberg, Howard Hughes, Rudolf Valentino, Jack Kennedy, Gary Cooper, the role of Doctor Plarr ( in Graham Greene's novel ," The Honorary Consul"), Youngblood Hawke in Herman Wouk's novel of the same title, a character from John O'Hara's novels, and a John Cheever's character from "The Wapshot Scandal", or "The Wapshot Chronicle".
