+lee smith Seriously? Whatever floats your boat I guess. I always think he looks rather pathetic in those things, like he's still in high school desperate for attention at the age of 147 or whatever the hell he is.
Hurtado Raffo Tito its not that he is shy, its cus he is european, coming to usa, then one does get nervous, how to behave, what to say and so on...culture differences. I, m european living in usa for 15 years now.but I got over that nervousness whit time
Also you have to consider that , we can say he is quite new in hollywood and he steps to a stage and recieve an Oscar infront of all big shots of America. Thats quite something^^ I personaly hope, i see him in more movies.
For the sake for a healthy debate, I’d argue that Stephen (Sam Jackson) was the best character written and acted. Why? Because, as hateful and disgusting as the character is, Stephen is what it takes to succeed in that era. Stephen is simply a reflection of the disgusting society of that time for a black person. Can you really blame Stephen for his actions? Can you really hate him? Or do you empathize with the smart slave who’s working the system?
@@varadbalan5974 tho he may have did what he did to survive, there's plenty of reason to hate him, blame him and curse him. Stephen was indeed well written and whether he was greater than Dr. skultz is a debatable, he could be but we don't know.
@@josephdocherty7919 My good man, did you simply get carried away with your dramatic gesture, or are you pointing your weapon at me with lethal intention? 😀😀
His salute to the other contenders is a quintessential example of respect, integrity, humility and humbleness. This is an example of class that needs to be absorbed by all. I hope Christoph is part of Quentin's "last film"
Well, another actor could have done the exact gesture of “respect, integrity, [and] humility” (“humbleness” and “humility” are exactly the same thing, btw) without meaning any of those things….the “gesture” in and of itself is meaningless unless one has a good deal of knowledge about the actor, or anyone, for that matter. I’ve watched several of his rather lengthy interviews, and he seems very humble, etc., indeed, but then….he’s an actor, lol! The fact is, we only know what other actors and professionals who’ve worked with him tell journalists, and that’s generally a good gauge by which to measure veracity. My point is, it’s nice to think Waltz is as wonderful as you _think_ he is, but there’s really no way of knowing.
Fr. The only returning actors I need in quentin's last film are Samuel L Jackson obviously (who has already been confirmed to be in it) and Christoph Waltz because we deserve another great performance from him.
@jerry7866 oooh I didn't even know about Samuel L. Jackson that is so exciting!! currently binging all Tarantino movies, Samuel is magnificent, highly underrated... anyway, YES DEAR LORD we need to see Christoph in the Critic aswell!
A class act! This man came out of "nowhere" as a foreign film actor and just bowled Hollywood over in his 50's. I think he was 53 years old at the time of Inglorious Basterds and 56 at the time of Django Unchained.
It's pretty incredible he can win academy awards for both playing an evil psychopathic and a man of such great compassion and humanity like Dr. Schultz. This man is a legend and an acting talent for the ages.
His character’s death in Django was the first time a fictional character’s death bummed me out as an adult. I know the film didn’t leave much time to be sad about his death, but his 1 of a kind treatment of the slaves in the movie that isn’t seen from any other white character in the whole movie left the remaining scenes with the feeling that something was missing. And even when Django was riding off with his wife, I could still feel the absence of safety that his character provided for Django. And to go from that to his character in Inglorious Basterds just shows how amazingly dynamic and talented Christoph Waltz actually is
+Hariharan Acharya ~ Well said. The way he leaned against and touched his boys head, with the father sharing an awkwardly pure moment where he is not the movie star, just a dad to his boy...was extremely touching. Demons in the closet are very, very hard. I say demons and not drugs, because drugs are only the symptom and not the problem. This talented man had problems (like so many of us do) that the drugs did not create. This is where the pain and heartache is...
When a guy's speech is nothing but thanks, I feel like he truly appreciates what the award means and doesn’t believe he should be the one getting it. ❤
This man has more class, respect, manners, and humility than anyone I know. I think all his "nervousness" as some might see it, is just his insanely intense gratitude telling him to be respectful to all the people that have helped him achieve his success. The genuity in his speech and even his use of his character's words at the end there really show how much he's invested in this film, and how much he respects the time and effort others have invested.
Loved both his Oscar-winning performances, and I love him even more for how humble he is. Such a well-spoken man. There has to be more people like him in the world.
@@dac2007 well but he wasn't the protagonist. It was Django's story and therefore, he was the protagonist. Doesn't mean Dr. King Schulz wasn't an amazing character. He totally was.
Hahahaaha Christoph says "I borrowed my character's words. Sorry, I couldn't resist" as the time he borrows the VERY LAST LINE of his character. Man, I love him and I love Tarantino as well
I think Samuel L Jackson AND Leo should have been alteast nomainted, but I still think Waltz blew it out of the park being Schultz. Hell all three of them deserved the oscar.
HOWWW?!?!? How the fuck was his performance better than DiCaprio or Jackson?! Please explain how he transformed and stretched himself more in his role than either Leo or Jackson?!?! He played HIMSELF that is EVIDENCED even by this speech! Are you really trying to say that when he got up to speak you thought to yourself "oh wow that's the guy from Django Unchained? GEE he did such a great job losing himself I did not even recognize him!!" BULL SHIT!
@@TrueIronMaidenFan True although it's best supporting actor not how the actors themselves got ready for the tole. It was how well they portrayed the actor and the oscar people thought it was the best one. I don't disagree with you about DiCaprio but I do believe Christoph deserves it
Christoph Waltz is a legend in his own league. Every movie I've watched of him, however big or small the role, never fails to captivate me. He's a genius both in acting and as a person. He reiterated his famous line from Django Unchained about how he and Tarantino scaled the mountain because they weren't afraid, how they slay the dragon because they weren't afraid, and how they crossed hellfire because it was worth it! Did anyone realize that after that he said something like "I'm repeating the lines from that movie." "I'm sorry but I can't resist it?" - that "im sorry but I can't resist it" is ALSO a line from Django Unchained. That was his swansong moment in the movie itself before bowing out with a bang! He's impeccable! What an amazing actor!
Wow, it's weird to see him so excited/nervous, even his voice shakes all around his speech. Great man though, very humble, excellent actor. Quentin found a real diamond with him, hope we'll see him in many great roles.
Akash Vijay No... Christoph Waltz performance was outstanding and his Oscar win was very well deserved and was the right choice to win. Tommy Lee would have not won.
"This guy is so underrated..." Like, how? He only become a known actor in the US with Inglourious Basterds and has won 2 Oscars (the latter of which I don't think he should've won, but whatever) since then. I can't think of anyone who's won 2 Oscars in such a short timespan recently. DDL and Sean Penn (both won two in the space of five years) are the only ones who I can think of who come close. He's obviously great, but he's not underrated at all.
iammarwanyo Meh, that's not really 'underrated'. Philip Seymour Hoffman isn't very well-known either, but most people who do know who he is consider him one of the best actors alive. I could probably point to other examples of that sort of thing if I weren't so lazy.
Christoph Waltz is quite underrated considering many people wouldn't be able to name him and didn't know who he was in Django at all. He did deserve both Oscars, so I don't know why you're whining.
ASAP Del Rey An actor is underrated if his performances are brilliant yet not acknowledged by his peers or the academy( NOT THE PUBLIC). Christoph waltz has won 2 oscars and i can't understand why you call him underrated. Gary Oldman, Sam Rockwell and Paul Giamantti are actors who are underrated
ASAP Del Rey Underrated doesn't mean what you think it means. Winning two oscars and acting in highly grossing movies is, I venture to say, a sign of recognition and success...
ASAP Del Rey Most people won't know who Joe Pesci, Geoffrey Rush or Robert Duvall are ( even though every one of them is better than Christoph Waltz) but that doesn't mean they are underrated.
All Oscar winners, that was a hard one!!! I love Arkin in Argo, De Niro in SLP.... Was hilarious, Hoffman was amazing, Jones very serious and Waltz amazing, what an amazing group of actors...
I fail to see how he played the same character in both movies. Rather it's more like there was a role for a German character. A German guy.... playing a German character. Holy shit that's convenient, don't you think?
Ed Dead And German-born. I'm a German patriot and Austrians are Germans too, there's no difference. They were so for a thousand years and they still are.
I have to come here to look at clips of his winning TWO oscars after reading about it on the internet. How can someone win TWO oscars for each nomination within just THREE years?/ INSANE!
To say Christoph Waltz doesn't deserve this is ridiculous. He nailed his character & it was well deserved. But it's funny how people are saying Phillip deserved it now that he's dead..
Fun fact: Christoph Waltz is the 4th actor to win 2 Oscars for movies directed by the same person (after Walter Brennan for Come & Get it in 1936 and The Westerner in 1940, both by William Wyler, Dianne West for Hannah & Her Sisters in 1986 and Bullets Over Broadway in 1994, both by Woody Allen, and Jack Nicholson for Terms of Endearment in 1983 and As Good as It Gets in 1997, both by James Brooks)
