Weekend Update: Bill Murray's 1981 Oscar Predictions - SNL

[@82jp]

This is really sweet. Bill Murray was a class act then as he is now.

[@thetgwarrior]

Than he is now. What

[@82jp]

@@thetgwarrior He was a class act back then. He is a class act now.

[@bencramer2869]

Bill: And for Best Picture... a Cinderella story, out of nowhere, former greenskeeper, now about to become an Oscar winner.

[@sifugurusensei]

And for the razzie....you guessed it Frank Stallone

[@saimcheeda93]

I like how that Roman Polanski joke is still relevant

[@freddyrichards878]

Cause nothing changed about him and people just panicked more about him since 2017

[@dogchaser520]

​@@freddyrichards878 And because the movie Tess is about a girl who's raped

[@RapidObsessor]

I think hollywood's better off with one less child rapist

[@dominickdirienzo8266]

2:10, a Harold Ramis reference! It’s a shame Harold never appeared on SNL or even wrote material for the show.

[@fuzer909]

I was born in 1981. I don't feel old due to Bill Murray.

[@jonharris7312]

The rare Doug Kenney reference.

[@les4767]

The REAL Oscars. Nice picks, Bill.

[@WayneMoyer]

Look at how young Bill Murray looks there. Sure it was all those years ago but he looked older in ever movie he ever did.

[@TheListenerCanon]

I would actually nominate both Aykoryd and Belushi for The Blues Brothers. Well, I don't know, but their performances is a classic.

[@dominickdirienzo8266]

Those heavy applauses from the audience shows how much they missed the original cast of SNL.

[@simplenough]

Eddie Murphy fever hadn’t broke yet

[@JoseMorales-lw5nt]

​@simplenough Crazy to think that the year I was born, this episode was several months old. You also had Denzel Washington making his film debut in CARBON COPY. And a young guy out of Uniondale, L.I. making his SNL Debut!❤

[@lil.spooky.pumpkin]

Bill Murray being wholesome

[@jaycannau]

Is this the first time Harold Ramis got a mention on SNL.

[@ziggy12657]

Harold Ramis should’ve hosted SNL. Gone but never forgotten.

[@MrWrestlingman85]

And to think so many years later, Bill Murray would get nominated for an Oscar.

[@bryanismyname7583]

He should've won. And he should've been nominated again this year.

[@TheListenerCanon]

Same with Dan Aykroyd.

[@MrWrestlingman85]

@@TheListenerCanon good point he was nominated.

[@LIE11Bldg7]

Yes yes definitely encore encore any real Saturday Night Live fans understand every moment of that segment

[@wylier]

at least he didn't nominate himself for Best Supporting Actor for "Caddyshack"! lol

[@sunglassshinpan1352]

Spot on man! Back when SNL had a clue!

[@Look_What_You_Did]

The show is still relevant today even if you are not.

[@ziggy12657]

SNL hasn’t been the same since the original “Not Ready for Prime time Players” left the show.

[@Look_What_You_Did]

Yeah... its like shit changes with time. Some day you will no longer be here and the rest of us will be like. Ge life sure is grand absent that insufferable prick.

[@PIXPromosMore]

My God, you're Actually putting up a Clip from the Jean Doumanian season (*SLOW CLAP*)

[@brandocalrissian3294]

His best performance ever was as Steve Zissou in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

[@RaulHernandez-sj3wi]

Bill should have been nominated for Caddyshack, and won for Groundhog Day..

[@bryanismyname7583]

1993 was a stacked year. So many worthy performance that could have been nominated for best actor: Harrison Ford, Kevin Costner, Kevin Kline, Clint Eastwood, Daniel Day-Lewis, John Goodman, Mel Gibson, Donald Sutherland, Johnny Depp, Kurt Russell.

[@deletesoon70]

Check out Bill in Lost In Translation, he won lots of praise for that.

[@otisroseboro5613]

Bill Murray Is The Best 💯 Period

[@dreamquesttv]

Both Jane AND Garrett were in "How To Beat The High Cost of Living".

[@sarysa]

Seeing Robert DeNiro's name taken down like that is almost surreal. Except for maybe John Hurt I don't even recognize the others.

[@aasompong]

Peter O'Toole, Robert Duvall, and Jack Lemmon? Much as I loved John Hurt, I'm surprised you recognized him but not these other giants.

[@M.R._Saar]

Correct me if I’m wrong, Sandy, but if I kill all of the golfers, they’re gonna lock me up and throw away the key.

Happy Birthday to William James Murray.9-21-50.Illinois.So many former cast member birthdays this month.

Caddyshack won, right? I feel Bill really nailed it that year.

[@HankGrill]

Seems so odd to remember when movies were a thing and were worth caring about.

[@douglaslowe5]

Bill was so wasted that night

[@stvp68]

Ouch-Polanski joke hasn’t aged well!

[@liamjohnston5099]

You do know Bill Murray was making a joke about Polanski being a paedophile

[@dessertstorm7476]

The Polanski allegations were public from day 1 anyway.

[@publius9350]

Polanski says his actresses have aged worse than the allegation.

Omg SNL used to be actually funny!

[@Bukkakewarrior69]

"Because J. Lemmon is still alive..." - Hehe. Bill Murray just didn't take prisoners. Today, his career would be over.

[@Tmanaz480]

I didn't take that as an insult to Lemmon. I heard it as "He's so good no one else will be eligible until Jack is gone"

[@wylier]

there is plenty of 'slash-and-burn' humor out there, these days. Isn't David Spade famous for it?

[@j.p.pelzman7481]

Heartwarming for the SNL shoutouts but not even close to being funny. Especially in a year with so much material to make fun of. Disappointing

[@JimGeigerMusic]

Your comment is disappointing.

[@jnnx]

I don’t think you understand that SNL was pretty sleepy by 1981, not a lot of great material.

[@RealMiami33141]

So many people in these comments who don’t think SNL is still funny are just demonstrating they never had a sense of humor, never watched the show and don’t understand what comedy even is. I’ve seen every episode ever recorded and SNL has always been relevant and funny with great performers. If you’re looking back with rose colored glasses, enjoy your Alzheimer’s all you miserable old f’s who refuse to try new things. Stuck. In. The. Past. Not taking anything away from the og’s, but realize the torch has moved 40 years down the road. Hope I never become you fools.
