He is great. But Ricky Gervais would be even better. Lawl. Though the Acadamy would never dare to let him host. Honesty is something not liked in Hollywood :P
I didn't know who he was but after watching 2020 Oscar Nominations came out and I start watching this guy. Man! He is real deal. The best host I even watched.
this video is as old as i am. and surprisingly nothing much has changed. america is still in war, hollywood studios are still in a coma, and billy crystal is still just as funny. :)
I was in junior high that year I still remember when I watched dances with the wolves on the big screen and watched it countless times on tv Most of these films then had a quality script quality acting, and now they became classic Sure someone says this about the Hollywood era of the 60 50 40s but the difference is 1991 was a modern year with modern technology and without the whole social media and reality tv everywhere madness Billy crystal to some boring but so much better than jimmy kimmel Brings memories specially seeing al Pacino at a younger age and the impressive Glenn glose These were the true A list stars of that time 😊
look how the Oscars today have turned into a Freak show compared to these... how sad!!! These were the days when it was classy and funny. Now all these emptied shell plastic Barbie dolls are nothing more than walking, talking marshmallow peeps.
+Kasino80 I agree with you. It's no more about celebrating the movies, it's celebrating how much money these clowns get for promoting some stupid product.
Back in the day when the competition to win an Oscar was hardcore, Everyone of those movies are top notch, they all should be Oscar winners! Be lucky to get even one decent oscar movie these days
20 years since Academy Awards Telecast No. 63 in 1991 - seems like it was yesterday! A big difference between the Shrine Auditorium in LA and Oscars' new home at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. Wasn't the 63rd Academy Awards Telecast on ABC the telecast that had Charlie O'Donnell as the announcer? A lot of things have happened over a span of 20 years since the 63rd Annual Academy Awards, but these memories from the previous telecasts need to be preserved for its historical value.
Billy always seemed to luckily spoof the movie that ended up winning. He must have been tipped off, or had a really good sense of how the members think. He's a stand-up comedian so he probably knows how to read an audience and that's my guess. I really wish they'd bring him back. I really think some of the other hosts struggle.
